“If you yell right now,
they’ll tear your clothes up;
and your mother
will become sad.”
“Zaynab (A) kept saying,
“May your aunt be sacrificed
for you, drink water.”’
“Ruqayyah (A) kept replying,
“My father wants water.”’
“I won’t recite
anymore.”
This and more in this sad elegy by Sabir Khorasani in ode to Imam Husayn (A) and his young daughter Ruqayya.
Our condolences to the believers on the month of Muharram and Safar, and the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Husayn (A), his family members, and his companions.
