Tell me why ...

By: Sister Mardhiya

If Hussain intended to wage a war,
then tell me why,
he brought along his little children?

If water was abundant,
then tell me why,
the infant died of thirst?

If the oppressors were followers of Muhammad,
then tell me why,
was Sakina so bitterly whipped?

If the weak patients are treated with utmost care,
then tell me why,
Sajjad's back was lowered?

If Akbar resembled the Prophet,
then tell me why,
how could they pierce his chest with spears?

If veil is the sacred covering for women,
then tell me why,
was Zainab shielding herself with her hair?
