Shimr The Killer of Imam Hussain, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

with a blunt dagger
he cut the imams head
strange the imam
is alive shimr is dead
hussainiyat
marching forward
marching ahead
hussain is humanity verily said
shah ast hussain
badshah ast hussain
on our shia souls embed
on fires of burning coal
as we tread
72 to a spiritual victory he led
on the wings of zuljana as he sped
in his enemies eyes
the fear and the dread
hussain the infallible
thorough bred
to save the pillars of islam
he bled
within the green
a flowing river of red
