…

In an era without mobile phones

In a place without coffee shops

In a spot with no WiFi

In a patch without air conditioning

In a land without friends

In a moment without a time piece

On dry earth without a well

Facing a nation with no belief

Fell the lion of God

Fell the Imam of his time

The beloved of Fatimah

The resemblance of Ali

The sacrificial lamb

With his mighty band of heroes

The father of the 9 Imams

And 12 Mahdis after them

Royalty in the heavens

Nobility on the earth

May we be your sacrifice

And worthy to utter your name

Abu Abdillah Al-Hussain

Slaughtered whilst thirsty

Peace be upon you and yours
