On the Departure of Prophet (S)

By: Sister Mardhiya

The last breaths that the Beloved takes;
Zahra, shall spend the night awake.
How can sleep drift onto her eyes ?
when blood flows from the seven skies.
Why does the night seem so long ?
why are the birds not singing tonight ?
Why has pain filled Zahra's heart ?
why does the moon seem to cry ?
Tonight, is the last night of living for the Prophet;
Tonight, is the beginning for the sufferings of Ali.
Tonight the sky consoles Zahra,
Tonight Kadija greets her Muhammad.
