The Saviour of Islam

By: Sr. Nahla Abbas

The Saviour of Islam !
The leader of Islam !
The hero of Islam !
Hussein! Hussein! Hussein!

You saved Islam by giving your life
The courage and patience you had to strive
To sacrifice your self was easy for this life !
Hussein! Hussein! Hussein!

You gave your family but never complained!
You had no water but never blamed
Your family was tortured
Hussein! Hussein! Hussein!

Without resting day and night
Fought with Yazid to show us the right
From the darkness life you brought us the light
Husein! Hussein! Hussein!

Ya Zeinab! Ya Zeinab!

"Lady of Faith, Lady of Strength,
They killed your sons, your brother, and your friends
then they came and burned your tents.

Oh what courage you did show
Even as those fires did glow.

To Yazid's palace were you dragged
With our sick Imam (Imam Sajad) who was bound

Ya Zeinab! Oh Ya Zeinab!

Face to face with Yazid you said
How dare you treat the Ahlul Bait so bad??
Yet yazid stayed so so very glad !!!

Your role was clear, there was no choice
To save Islam you used your voice.

Oh Ya Imamaaaa!
Oh Ya Hussainaa!
Oh Ya Zeinabaaa!
