Imam Hussain, the embodiment of sorrow



In the name of the Beloved, the Compassionate, the Merciful.
 

Oh, Imam Hussain, the embodiment of sorrow,
 

Your sacrifice, a tale that pierces our souls,
 

Through tears and lamentations, we express our grief,
 

For your noble life, cut short in Karbala's sands.

 

In the realm of sorrow, we find solace in your name,
 

The tragedy of Karbala, forever etched in our hearts,
 

Your blood, a river that flows through time,
 

Awakening our spirits, igniting our passion for justice.
 

Oh, Imam Hussain, your courage knows no bounds,
 

You stood firm against oppression's relentless tide,
 

For the sanctity of Islam, you sacrificed all,
 

In the face of tyranny, you never wavered, never fell.

 

In Karbala's desolation, your companions stood beside you,
 

Brave souls, devoted and unwavering in their loyalty,
 

Their blood stained the sands as a testament of faith,
 

Their spirits now enshrined in the annals of martyrdom.
 

The cries of Sakina, your beloved daughter,
 

Echo through the centuries, a poignant lament,
 

She witnessed the horrors, the pain and affliction,
 

Her innocence shattered in the face of cruelty.

 

Oh, Imam Hussain, the world mourns your loss,
 

Your message of justice resounds in our hearts,
 

We weep for the suffering you endured,
 

For the agony inflicted upon your family and kin.
 

Yet, in this sorrow, a flame of hope flickers,
 

A reminder of the resilience of the human spirit,
 

Your sacrifice continues to inspire generations,
 

To rise against oppression and uphold righteousness.

 

Oh, Imam Hussain, we gather in sorrow and remembrance,
 

With heavy hearts and tearful eyes,
 

Through poetry and elegies, we express our grief,
 

Seeking solace in your noble sacrifice.
 

In your eternal legacy, we find strength,
 

To stand against injustice, to fight for what is right,
 

Your spirit lives on, guiding us in our struggles,
 

A beacon of light in the darkest of nights.

 

Oh, Imam Hussain, the sorrow of Karbala lives within us,
 

May we never forget the lessons learned,
 

In our prayers and supplications, we beseech your intercession,
 

To grant us steadfastness on the path of truth.
 

Oh, Imam Hussain, the embodiment of sorrow,
 

We offer our tears and lamentations,
 

May your sacrifice inspire us to be better,
 

To be champions of justice and bearers of compassion.

 

Peace be upon you, Oh Imam Hussain,
 

The sorrowful heart, the symbol of sacrifice,
 

We mourn your loss, but celebrate your legacy,
 

In our hearts, your memory shall forever reside.
