I do not decry or praise them
For me they were mortals in search of power and pelf
They built huge armies they had the best weapons with them
Their vision stretched not beyond but themself
Conquering cities and towns they did with impunity
Killing and destruction they accomplished with ferocity
The Ceasers, Alexandes, Napoleans and many such more
Are historical legends praised in folk lore
Let us pause a bit to answer this question
Have they left behind consequential remembrance
The lands that they conquered have lost their limitation
The cities they destroyed have lost their appearance
The men no longer are from the same ethnicity
What have they gained through their banal atrocity
I remind you now of one person who is remembered forever
Draped in respectable lineage of the distinguished blessed family
His ancestors were gallant, courageous and imbued with valor
He stood up righteously to uphold truth and his faith in the Almighty
Refused to enter into an unholy alliance and upheld God’s message
The massive enemy force under a merciless commander surrounded a mixed group of seventy two men, women and children
They tortured them depriving them water or safe passage
Today on tenth of Moharram he and his followers fought conscious of their death and their passage to heaven
Yes Shameem, you have always heard their message
In every corner of this earth they remember their martyrdom
Through Majalises, nauha’s, marcias and Matam
They laid down their lives for God to exist
God blessed them forever for them to live in our amidst
Husain ibne Ali you left us in great pain
The light has extinguished the moths will continue to remain
Impressions, Perceptions and Views.
