Tortured Oppressed Imam

[khadimahulubayt]

Salam Alakom, this is from this years remeberance of the commeration of the death of Imam al-Kathom (as):

Tortured Oppressed Imam

Imami, you were chosen by Muhammad

Imami, Your Mother is Fatima

You are the tortured and oppressed, you’re the mathloom in Bagdad

**********************************************************************

O Kathom, O Imam, O Mathloom in Baghdad

O Kathom, they tortured, you and kept you jailed

They cursed you, and Ali, and all your forefathers

Your Shia, will never, leave you and cry for you.

Your Kathom, and You are my Úseventh Imam

Your Kathom, your Shia will always mourn you

You are the tortured and oppressed, you’re the mathloom in Bagdad

**********************************************************************

They call me, Rafidathi, because you are Imam

I love, and cry, over you they call me names

They, imprisoned you, for many years in Jail

O Nasibi, do you, know that Allah chose him

I will cry, every day and every night

I will cry, for you and for your family

You are the tortured and oppressed, you’re the mathloom in Bagdad

**********************************************************************

I wish, someday I get, to visit your shrine in Baghdad

Walk through your doors, and kiss that blessed shrine of yours

You were alone, in jail, with no one but Allah

How many, years did you, spend in that Darkened Jail

O Allah, curse the enemies of Kathom

O Allah, grant me his intercession

You are the tortured and oppressed, you’re the mathloom in Bagdad

**********************************************************************

O Allah, We walk long, for our Imam Kathom

We cry out, loud for him, and beat our chests for him

O Allah, protect the visitors of Al-Kathom

We yell out loud and say, you will never stop us.

O Zahra, we will will walk for him forever

O Zahra, we walk to our martyrdom

You are the tortured and oppressed, you’re the mathloom in Baghdad

**********************************************************************

O Mahdi, do you see, how your Shia are oppressed

They attacked, the visitors, of your grandfather

O Mahdi, they even attacked Zaynab's Shrine

When will you, appear and save us from these tyrants

O Mahdi, how much longer must we wait

O Mahdi, your Shia are waiting for you

You are the tortured and oppressed, you’re the mathloom in Baghdad
