The Martyred Ones
Men weep for you today in many lands
And on their breasts in bitter anguish beat
And in sad, mournful tunes, the tales repeat
Of how you lost your life upon the sands
You nobly spurned the tyrant's base demands
And Chose death to prevent your soul's defeat
Became a martyr with unflinching feet
For these well may one weep who understands
Hussain is King, the King of Kings
He is faith, defense of faith from him springs
Beheaded though
He never bowed to Yazeed
By God, God's unity by him is established
In which grave is his throne, and his crown where is it
O Earth ! Show us where us where is the Might of Yazeed Today

They see a vision through slow falling tears
Of that lone battle where athirst you fell

Subject: A Poem for the Fortieth Day of Martyrdom (Arbaeen)
Look at the heads atop the spears
and the eyes that are full of tears.
Husain has gone and his sister is alone,
and her lonely sight is so hard to bear.
It will touch so many hearts of stone
but her suffering, so few shall share.
The daughter of Fatimah is full of sorrow.
In her path, so many woes have been steered.
She doesn't know what will happen tomorrow.
She hasn't finished wiping her tears.
The world has seldom seen such a bold woman.
So courageous and without a spec of fear.
She is so strong, that she can't be broken.
Even by her loved ones' heads, on the spears.
Her parents are Fatimah and Ali, none other,
and to the Prophet Muhammad, she is so dear.
But this day, she is without her brother.
And no comfort seems to be near.
The people present, do nothing but stare.
For the victims, everyone should shed tears.
For the Prophet's progeny, doesn't anyone care?
The indifference of these "Muslims" is so severe.
Don't all the people present, understand,
the noble family of the Prophet, has no peers?
Everyone's salvation is verily in their hands.
Why're they being driven, to the verge of tears?
This lady is not afraid to loose her life.
She speaks out against cruelty, without fear.
To spread her brother's message, she strives,
breaking everyone's heart with her silent tears.
On hurting the innocent, the cruel are bent.
But these wicked plots fail and she perseveres.
She faces calamity with her spiritual strength.
She is anguished, but holds back her tears.
The tyrants wanted to crush the struggle
but it shall never end and also our tears.
Everyone is moved, on hearing her troubles.
Karbala is and will be remembered each year.
In the stormy seas we've not yet set ashore,
many evil minds would want to stop our tears.
But this mourning will continue, forever more,
with cries of Yaa Husain, ringing in our ears.
Ali Rizwan Shah
