See Mahmoud Darwish.

Mahmoud Darwish (Arabic: مَحمُود دَرْوِيْش,) was a Palestinian poet and author who was regarded as Palestine's national poet. In 1988, Darwish wrote the Palestinian Declaration of Independence, which was the formal declaration for the creation of a State of Palestine. Darwish won numerous awards for his works. In his poetic works, Darwish explored Palestine as a metaphor for the loss of Eden, birth and resurrection, and the anguish of dispossession and exile. He has been described as incarnating and reflecting "the tradition of the political poet in Islam, the man of action whose action is poetry." He also served as an editor for several literary magazines in Israel and the Palestinian territories. Darwish wrote in Arabi

“والقهوةُ ذكريات
And coffee is memories

ذكرياتِ من شربوها معنا في مكانِ ما مشبعٍ بالحنين
Memories of those who drank with us somewhere saturated with nostalgia”
Mahmud Darwish

“وحيداً أصنعُ القهوة وحيداً أشربُ القهوة
فأخسر من حياتي .. أخسر النشوة
القهوة لا تُشرب على عجلٍ
القهوةٌ أخت الوقت تُحْتَسى على مهلٍ
القهوة صوت المذاق، صوت الرائحة
القهوة تأمّلٌ وتغلغل في النفس وفي الذاكرة
القهوة هي هذا الصمت الصباحي الباكر
هي الوحيدة التي تقف فيه وحدك
مع ماء تختاره بكسل وعزلة
وفي ‏سلام مبتكر مع النفس والأشياء،
والقهوة هي مفتاح النهار وأوله:‏
هي أن تصنعها بيديك لا أن تأتيك على طبق
لأن حامل الطبق هو حامل الكلام
والقهوة الأولى يفسدها الكلام ‏الأول
لأنها عذراء الصباح الصامت المتناهي
للقهوةِ مفعولُ السحرِ في أصلاح الذاكرة
القهوة كالحب قليلٌ منه لا يَروي وكثيرٌ منه لا يُشبِع
والقهوةُ ذكريات ..
ذكرياتِ من شربوها معنا في مكانِ ما مشبعٍ بالحنين”
Mahmud Darwish

“Cuando pienses en los otros que están lejos,
piensa en ti; di:
"Sea yo, en lo oscuro, vela".”
Mahmud Darwish
