Nabila Abbas

When Zaynab (a.s) reached Kufa, she addressed people with fury words: “Praise to Allah, and may the blessing of Allah be upon Muhammad and his progeny. O people of Kufa! You are hypocrites and deceitful. You feign to be sorry for the death of my brother and his companions. May you always shed tears. I find nothing in you but flattery, evil acts and thoughts, pride and spite and ill will. By Allah! You deserve lasting sorrow instead of joy. Shame on you, your hands is imbrued with the blood of the son of the Holy Prophet, the one who was your sole refuge in case of adversity. By your evil act and disloyalty, you incurred the wrath of Allah against you. Woe betides you! No one will intercede with Allah for you”. Her furious words provoked people of Kufa to avenge Imam al-Hussein (a.s)’s martyrdom, which frightened Ibn Ziyad and his cruel agents. She also delivered a furious sermon in the court of Yazeed that made his authority and despotic rule feel undermined. She said: “I fear no one but Allah. Make whatever evil plot you can. Blazes are waiting for you in the hereafter. You will be accountable to Allah for your atrocities”.

Sajjad, Sajjad, where's your sister? Get up, get up; look for her Night has ended this long day I don't know where she has strayed Aun and Muhammad were sacrificed Didn't shed a tear as they gave their lives Now my tears are streaming Where are you? Sakina's missing How many times did she scream? Ya Rabb, would it were a dream Shook and shivered from what she saw How will she go on, if at all? Sajjad, maybe she'll hear you call Hurry hurry now, don't you stall Shimr mal'oun lurks nearby You must find her; you must try She lost her loved ones one by one Saw them all leave her after dawn She rubed her eyes in disbelief Too little to bear so much grief She hugged herself and rocket to sleep Dreaming of her baba's sweet Embrace. Those same arms shackled like a slave Her dear father now lay slain Earrings a gift from her father Torn from her ears, stolen by Shimr Her hurting ears shredded like her heart O for those earrings Sakina mourned She desperately grabbed the horse's legs Pleaded and begged as the animal neighed Please don't take my father away Please don't take my father away Her her crying for her Abbas As his limp body slides from his horse His holy banner slipped from his side Abbas has fallen; Abbas has died Ran her fingers through her father's beard As he wiped away her little tears Kissed and cuddled her as best he could Sakina's gone now for good Why have all her brothers gone to sleep? Sakina falls; hear her weep Akbar, Qassim, Abbas -- where are you? Tell me, tell me what to do Don't look as Shimr cuts off his head The desert sands now run red They loot his body all at once O, Sakina, your father's gone Sajjad Zaynab fear not, can't you hear I am here, and father's near "Come to me" did my father call Can't you hear him too? Where are you all? Can't you hear him too? Where are you all?

Karbala, Karbala Karbala, Karbala Hussain was slain His family in pain No soldiers had remained Women in chains Children in pain Yazid is to be blamed But this is not what remains From the land of Karbala The knight in flames The charging man No child slept The women all wept The sound of cries The orphans’ sighs Blood shed from the ones who died But this is not what remains From the land of Karbala Karbala, Karbala Karbala, Karbala Hossein wrote with his blood On the sand of Karbala La ilaaha illa Allah Muhammad rasul Allah This is all that remains From the land of Karbala La ilaaha illa Allah Muhammad rasul Allah Karbala, Karbala Karbala, Karbala

I am one who weeps at the plight of the Martyr of Kerbala Won't the reward be given to me by the Keeper of Kauser (Imam Ali A.S ) "Slaughter of Hussain A.S is in fact the death of Yazid, Islam is revitalized after each event like that of Karbala." Story of the family (Haram) is unfortunate, simple and colorfull. It began with Ismael and ended with Hussain Neither are the battle grounds of the world new, nor are the opponents who are fighting. Same are the ways of (those who follow) Allah’s Lion (Imam Ali), and same are the ways of (those who follow) Marhab and Antar (with whom he fought). There are only and only two things which Islam have (or due to which Islam stands).. One is the striking of the Hand of Allah (Imam Ali's sword) and other is the prostration of Shabbir (Imam Hussain A.S )
