In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful,
This is a poem dedicated to the death anniversary of the tragic murder of Imam Musa Al Kadhim, Baghdad’s prisoner written by my humble self.
Oh master of Kadmiya,
Oh beloved of Zahra,
There was no funeral like yours Ya Musa,
A murdered prisoner poisoned by a tyrant killer.
And what a prisoner is kept in this manner,
Let me words paint for your eyes a picture,
And colour this canvas with the gems of your tears,
He is kept in Baghdad’s most narrow prison,
For 14 years no fresh air enters,
Like a flower he has withered.
