The Moharam Moon Bleeds, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

droplets of blood
stain the celestial sky
the moharam moon bleeds
sweeping the earth
resting at karbala
where the hallowed grave
of the holy imam lies
yes a path leading to
paradise
the womens wails
the childrens cries
littered bodies
trampled by horses
he paid a price
but he did not
concede to yazid
son of Satan
in disguise
barbarism to surmise
puritanism
that distorted
Islamic history
with loads of lies
that no one buys
allah ho akbar
hussain is humanity
no one denies
shah ast hussain
badshah ast hussain
our shia soul suffice
