Let's make this birthday one to remember.

84 years old (Born on March 13, 1941)

Happy birthday to the legendary Mahmoud Darwish! Another year older, yet your words remain timeless—still soaring higher than those "Wingless Birds" you wrote about. Your poetry continues to inspire hearts and minds, proving that olives aren't just for salads—they're also perfect metaphors for resilience and hope.

From passionately advocating peace with the Palestine Liberation Organization to boldly voicing your ideals through literature, you've shown us how powerful words can be. Today we celebrate not just another candle on your cake but every stanza you've gifted humanity. Here's hoping this birthday anthem is as memorable as "The Bodily Anthem"!
