who would of imagined

that one who claims

to love you

kills you

destroys you

annihilates you

who would of imagined

a love like a husaaini

became your destiny

on the eve of Ashura

the jaws of death in Karbala

appeared as a pearl oyster

to every lover

who asked for the highest love

Husain summoned his lovers

leave as tomorrow your fate

is a deadly death

skin and bones

blood and massacre

ya mawla we would never

leave your side

for even a blink of an eye

as death in you

more dear than life

in absence of you

there is no point

a 1001, a 1001 lives

we slay

for you janem
