Poem
(Every year in the lunar month of Muharram we Shia Muslims commemorate the brutal martyrdom of the grandson of our Holy prophet Muhammed (s.a.w) and his family and friends at the hands of fake hypocritical so-called Muslims, several centuries ago. That tragic day of atrocity is known as ashurah.) ) Our eyes weep in grief an ocean of tears On this blackest day of tyranny When evil hypocrites placed Quran atop spears Martyring our prophet's progeny Brutal and greedy for worldly power Arrows rained down upon the Prophet's family Inflicted by the cruel bastards Who slaughtered that day all the holy The plains of Karbala immersed in holy blood of piety They savagely spared neither youth nor Imam's baby Then mounted the holy heads like a war trophy Burnt the tents of the holy ladies in great cruelty They were denied access to water and food Though they banked near the river Euphrates Those hypocrites wore a savage hood Tortured imam Husein's mates and soulmates So we mourn in commemoration of this heartrending tragedy Curse the perpetrators if you have any humanity So every Ashura we will mourn and dress in black and dark To commemorate this blasphemy upon prophets family, all hark A real true Muslim can never kill babies and kids That's the main muslim's sign and hallmark. ( (I know from observation that whoever hates Imam Husein The grandson of the holy prophet Muhammed(s.aw) Can never be kind and compassionate And only such a person can kill innocent kids and babies For such hate is an unholy killer virus.) (Allah has commanded us to love the ahlulbayt (prophets family) in a clear well known verse which reads as follows, ' Shakir 42: 23 That is of which Allah gives the good news to His servants, (to) those who believe and do good deeds. Say (oh Mohamed) : I do not ask of you any reward for it but love for my near relatives; and whoever earns good, We give him more of good therein; surely Allah is Forgiving, Grateful.' Those who disobey this verse by hating the prophets family are answerable to God and those who killed them will face the tortures of hellfire.) Dirge for the martyrs By me Can anyone imagine Imam Husein n Rubab's sorrow when with parched lips their 6mnth babe begged for water yet tyrants threw at his tender neck a three-pronged arrow making him the youngest martyr in karbala's slaughter! Greatly outnumbered, the holy band of the prophet's progeny brutally butchered in unfair battle indeed Husain's 4yr daughter clung to horse Zuljana's legs so he shouldn't be dragged into battle by the cruel yazeed. In a shower of arrows yet Husain said his Asr prayers as his supporters formed in front of him a human shield But such tyrannical and worldly were the slayers they didn't even respect prayer time in battlefield. So we cry, we weep, we mourn and wail as every year we remember Kerbala's true tale. S.zaynub Kamoonpuri Poet's Notes about The Poem (Foreigners and even some unbiased Sunnis and Hindus join and watch the commemorations and processions on Ashura, Muharram, here in Daressalam too. The tragedy of Kerbala touches even the hardest of hearts for it was perpetrated by the powerhungry tyrannical worldly tyrants of the time. Brutality and coldblooded tyranny was observed at its peak in this horrible historical event we can't ever erase from our minds for the blood of the Holy Prophet's progeny was spilled here. So we begin our lunar calendar year with tears like a babe begins his life into this world crying too. But we weep for this saddest blot on the history of Muslims. The killing of an innocent 6months babe of Imam Hussein the grandson of Holy prophet Muhammad(S.A.W) is an evil atrocity unparalleled indeed. It's Islamically a must to give even chickens water before slaughter but the coldblooded perpetrators denied Imam Husein and his holy band and family access to the Euphrates river and all water for 3 days and then butchered them mercilessly in a highly unfair battle. No Sunni or human has ever had a word of praise for Yazid or hurmala whose name has gone down in Islamic history as vicious sinning tyrants. My heart therefore bleeds in deep grief for the grandson of the Holy prophet and his young children all martyred in one day at Kerbala. I wonder at Muslims who love the Holy prophet(s.a.w) but don't feel anything for his flesh 'n' blood and family. It's surely coz they have been kept in the dark about the whole tragedy. Mourning our beloved esteemed martyrs is therefore sacrosanct for us and indeed for any who have hearts n luv Islam and prophet Muhammed s.a.w)
