| Karbala and Imam Hussain (A.S) Poetry | |||||||||||
| What is raining? Blood. Who? The eyes. How? Day and night. Why? From grief. Grief for whom? Grief for the king of Karbala' You kill the one, thirsty, and nourish the other two.God has kept the ecstatic lovers like Husayn and Mansur in the place of gallows and rope, and cast the fighters for the faith, like Husayn and 'Ali, in the place of swords and spears: in being martyrs they find eternal life and happiness and become witnesses to God's mysterious power. The boat of Mustafa's family has been drowned in blood; The black cloud of infidelity has waylaid the sun; Thcandle of the Prophet was extinguished by the breeze of the Kufans Thatta The moon of Muharram was seen, anxiety about the princes occurred. Muharram has come back, but the Imams have not come. O princes of Medina, may the Lord bring us together The Mirs have gone out from Medina, they have not come back. The hardship of martyrdom, listen, is the day of joy. Yazid has not got an atom of this love. Death is rain for the children of 'Ali. The hardship of martyrdom is all joyful rainy season. Yazid has not got the traces of this love. The decision to be killed was with the Imams from the very beginning. The perfect ones, the lion-like sayyids, have come to Karbala' Having cut with Egyptian swords, they made heaps of carcasses; Heroes became confused, seeing Mir Husayn's attack. The hardship of martyrdom is all coquetry (naz). The intoxicated understand the secret of the case of Karbala. The earth trembles, shakes; the skies are in uproar; This is not a war, this is the manifestation of Love The Friend kills the darlings, the lovers are slain, For the elect friends He prepares difficulties. God, the Eternal, without need what He wants, He does. Paradise is their place, overpowering they have gone to Paradise, They have become annihilated in God, with Him they have become, He Shah 'Abdu'l-Latif of Bhit The Prince has made his miraj on the ground of Karbala', The Shah's horse has gained the rank of Buraq. |
