There exist these twin flames......Love and sacrifice
They are as inseparable as the heart and its pure groove
That even the darkest of veils, death, cannot defeat.

Ask.... What's the secret under Husayn's victory?
The answer would be LOVE and SACRIFICE
Because hearts sang the duet of these twin flames that time.
These two treasures were poured out there not only displayed—
In a mother's eyes, a child shines brighter than any star
And is cherished beyond all worth
But still, they decided to pluck the fairest flower for Husain's hour.

Sakina of just four summers,
Yet..... The hearts hidden language she understands
For her heart is Husain's throne
In her, Husain's heart finds a home.
Her eyes like morning dew glistened with tears
As she yearned for his tender care
While her gaze danced like a butterfly's wing.... Flitting left and right
Searching for a glimpse of him
She cried out his name like a nightingale singing its final serenade
A tender sapling... now bent and twisted like an ancient tree
Weathered by the storm of sorrow

Hark! Lend an ear....it's Ummul Baneen's whisper you'll hear, aspiring to nurture more sons
Just like delicate petals, to be offered to the winds of fate
Even though she beheld the brutal fate that befell Abbas
Who's pitilessly trodden underfoot by the monstrous beast of injustice.

Come, behold Zainab's maternal longing as she yearns—
For her brother to set free her fledgling birds Aun and Muhammad
To soar in the limitless skies of heroism
The loveliest scent has departed as the star has wandered to distant skies
Forsaking the world to its sorrow
No Qaseem, no Aleeyul Akbar to balm the heart's deep wound
And that is Asghar struck in the neck—
His life's tender shoot withered.... Like a garden in a harsh frost
*** *** ***
Bid thee adieu, ya Husain, for we hold dear one God,
One Muhammad, one Ali, one Fatima, one Hasan and only one you
Zainab Usman
