Eternal Victory

By: Sister Mardhiya

The final farewell came,
which wounded Hussain's heart further.
For this time,
There were no Abass,
to help him mount the horse.
And no Akbar's shoulder to lean on,
while riding on Zuljanah.
What an hour it was!
Son of Zahra, left all alone.
The enemies inflicted bruises on Hussain,
by tongue & spears.
Their laughter echoed in the desert,
as they called Hussain 'brotherless'.
What an hour it was!
Yet amid all grief,
his pain seemed to heal,
the moment he saw his mother.
On the field alongside Hussain,
stood Zahra in tears.
Tears, which cheered for Hussain,
as he achieved eternal victory.
