Abstract: The aim of this paper is to understand the concept of identity in a specific perspective. The perspective is to understand a state that has been occupied, colonized and how it responds by language and poetry and resists occupation. The country is Palestine and the author is one of the greatest poets of Palestine, Mahmoud Darwish. Both the definitions and philosophical summaries have been provided to these two words and then they are used to understand two famous poems. The researcher has selected two poems of Darwish: “ID Card” and “Passport”. ID Card” appeared in his collection Olive Leaves in 1964, when Darwish was 23 years old.
