On Samarra tragedy: How may the sun shine …?

Forlorn of all hope,
as I write to you,
with the ink of my tears
The notes of sympathy,
how may I express
The grief, the pain, the misery
that has embraced my chest.
With what lyrics can I convey,
the deepest agony that your lover's feel,
as they watch the golden dome,
of your beloved father and grandfather, tearing down?
O Abu Saleh Al Mahdi,
today, how may the sun shine,

O Prophet! we met the grievous shock of this year
Askariya shrine bombed in Samarra…and We are alive
Our hearts shattered…
Our tears flowing
Our eyes wandering….
Our heads bending down & down
O Prophet!! We are ashamed…..
Alas!!! We are alive

May Allah (swt) forgive us all and bless us with a happy life in this dunya and the Hereafter. And may he give us life to serve him and the ahle-bait (as).
We pray to Allah (SWT) to keep us firm on His path,
and to always protect us from negligence in discharging
 our duties towards Him and our Living Imam (A.J), and to also
 include us among the Imam (A.J) helpers and companions –Ameen
