Indomitable Spirit of Islam - Wiladat Bibi Zainab, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
she stood up valiantly
against terror
she put up a fight
a sword of ali
her birthright
her kutbas
disowning
yazid the accursed
his cowardly might
in his court
all totally quiet
72 heads on spears
watched this sight
sham sham sham
said the fourth imam
all night
wiladat e bibi zainab
indomitable spirit of Islam
shining bright
history of womanhood
she did rewrite
hussain as humanity
she did unite
to the first
majlis e aza
lovers of hussainiyat
she did invite
hussainiyat ke irado
ki pasba bankar
jidhhar jidhar gaye sarwar
udhar gayi zainab
bachakar din ki amanat ko
bhadakte sholon se
khuda ke din par
ehsan kar gayi zainab
