just some lines by Zyanab ( pbuh)

“No God, but Allah†just some lines by Zyanab5( pbuh) the majesty
Tell a long story short…. Ah! What a grief!
Respect has died… Ah! What a grief!
Harmala5 just missed to 1 arrow to throw … Ah! What a grief!
He abused that last one too…. Ah! What a grief!
Whoever had been injured by Imam Ali ( pbuh) or by his sword†Zulfagharâ€
Came to retaliate …. Ah! What a grief!
They attacked by all swords, spears and
stones available …. Ah! What a grief!
Zaynab (pbuh) the majesty seems not to believe the disaster,
When they killed the Imam by sitting on his chest … Ah! What a grief!
The dress which was sown While crying by Fatima6(pbuh) the majesty
Was torn in the battle crowd … Ah! What a grief!
When they killed the Imam and their hatred subsided,
They turned to the tents where the imam’s family survived… Ah! What a grief!
She called out, facing Medina†Oh. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh&h)
Oh, Fatima( pbuh); the majesty! Hello… Ah! What a grief!
Shemr[ God damn him] who killed the imam ( pbuh), has returned from the killing field.
And his cloth was stained by imam ‘s long lasting blood,
as a stigma. … Ah! What a grief!
First the imam’s head then his finger were cut.
I wish there had remained some parts from the imam’s body … Ah! What a grief!
You died and lay on the soil, and the foe took me into captivity.
I’m being taken to Sham7 … Ah! What a grief!
I’m worried for your head which is on a spear and was hurt by stones,
thrown from the roofs… Ah! What a grief!
You are worried, what is coming to your daughter and me
in the unlawful party. … Ah! What a grief!
where are they going to take his head city by city?
Now starting from Kufa and heading to Sham,
Just reminding again and then I sum up,
what they did on the roof. ..Ah! What a grief!
The story reached to†the foot†but still remains what happens to “the headâ€
and my poem isn’t over … Ah! What a grief!
