A Press Card Bleeds

A Press Card Bleeds, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

if yazid
had not done
what he did
there would be
no need
for us to be
what we are
what you are
bleed
through
the heart of
moharam
we remind
humanity
of a dastardly
deed
we are tears
that grew
from a seed
paying
tribute
to a holy mother
in her time of need
born shias
the same allah
the same holy prophet
his holy book
we read
without
ahle bayt
a mission
of peace
cant succeed
an oath in blood
beyond caste
color or creed




Shah ast Hussain, Badshah ast Hussain
Deen ast Hussain, Deen Panah ast Hussain
Sardad na dad dast, dar dast-e-yazeed,
Haqaa key binaey La ila ast Hussain



Ruler is Hussain, Emperor is Hussain,
Faith is Hussain , guardian of faith is Hussain .
Offered his head and not the hand to Yazid.
Truly, the mirror of faith is Hussain
