Hope you have instilled in our heart
In a world where hope’s disappeared
Peace you have engrained in our soul
In a time where peace is rare
* * * * * * * *
Every breath that you did take
Every step that you would make
Purpose and guidance it gave
Mankind’s heart it re-awaked
Many people did leave
The first teachings received
Hussain planned to retrieve
Loss of faith he perceived
Guide, you would be in place of Rasool
To restore the sacred bridge
Light, you would radiate in the dark
And continue the message
* * * * * * * *
When you passed through arid sands
Met foreigners of new lands
Offered them a helping hand
With the little that you had
Your servants you did save
Their full freedom you gave
But they loved you and stayed
To meet your same cruel fate
Love, you showed to all Gods’ creation
From whichever place they came
Care, you expressed to all those you knew
Loving animals the same
* * * * * * * *
Your heart a nest of virtue
It housed wishes of the true
If only aggressors knew
Of your compassionate views
Each and everyone saw
Steps you took against war
Path of peace you looked for
But this Yazid ignored
Truth, that’s what you wanted to defend
Against those whose souls were false
Life, that’s the sacrifice you would give
To resurrect true Islam
* * * * * * * *
Abraham our blessed guide
Covered his eyes from the site
Of his sons pure sacrifice
Allah’s wish he would abide
But Hussain had to see
The pain and tragedy
The evil killing spree
That took his family
War, and aggression you did endure
Even though conflict you shunned
Death, and torment then you had to face
Under the hot blazing sun
