POEM OF YA HUSSEIN YA HUSSEIN

[Sweet Shenu]

Duniya mey do he nam hain
Aik Haider aur ak Hussain
Ak paiyeda hoker Kaba main Islam bana gaya

Dosra Shaheed hokey Karbala main Islam Bacha gaya

Ya Hussein Ya Hussein Ya Hussein

Do you hear ?
the whispers..…
the beating…..
the cry….
the breaths taken…..
heavier and heavier……
a last one…
…and then it slowly dies…..

Do you see ?
the pure blood spilled…
…drop after drop……
the lamenting…..
the slaughter committed…..
continuing…
…not stopping…..

Do you feel ?
the sorrow within…..
the depression above…..
the love piercing…..
the hearts pounding…
…beat after beat…..
blood flowing through veins….

Do you listen ?
to the cry from above…..
the angels drowned in an ocean of mourning…..
the roses withering of grief…..
the birds falling for the misery…..

Do you witness ?
the oppression performed…..
the rainbow loosing it’s colours…..
the sun turning dark…..
the horizon breaking down…..
the moon splitting……
the stars without any light, without any spark…..

Do you sense ?
the great pain…..
hearts cannot bear…
the tears within…
…turning into oceans…..
the massive power inside...
…wanting to explode…..

Don’t you know ?
the scream…..
the call made…..
the help needed…
…“ Is there anybody left to help me……? ”
the fields of karbala purified…
…with the love of Allah…..

the continuous whispers flowing through times, places…
…hearts, souls….
moving mountains and seas…
…nights and days….
in it’s endless search for eternity….
they whisper…
…“ ya hussein, ya hussein…..”

Theres a sying that the words of the heart will touch another's heart but the words on the tongue will only reach the ears. You could tell that poem was from the heart. May Allah guide us on the path of Hussain

May Allah make everday of ours Ashura and every land Karbala, and fill us with Husseiny Spirit, fight oppression, live like martyrs and die like lovers by the side of the Awaited Saviour (A), ameen.

Life is a gift given to us by Allah, and we should operate under that, live it to its fullest, and not be caught in a trap that somehow death is something to gleefully look for.

Kunwar Mehandra Singh Bedi, A Leading Hindu Poet " Every body knows dying after life, but you Hussain (AS) taught us how to live after death"

Maulana Maher-ul-Qaderi " Hussain preferred being beheaded in Sajdah (prostration), so that Sajdah (prayer) is never missed (by muslims) in years to come."

I am one who Yearns for Karbala's heart,
As if crying and sadness is my art

From my eyes tears fall like rain
because I can't comprehend your pain,
thinking of it is making me insane,
You are my master O Husayn

Death with dignity is better than life of humiliation Imam Husayn a.s.

Every day is Ashura and every land is Kerbala
