THE SUFFERING OF FATIMAH AL-ZAHRA

What darkened nights
What sorrowful days
Befell me my father

I was the light of your eyes
And you were my heart and soul.
I was part of you
You were part of me
My life was yours Ya Nabi

Yet the horrid time came
The angel of death was at my door
He took your life
And left me in darkness

I have cried for you
Day and night
They kicked me out out of your city
They took my right
They stole the leadership

They broke my ribs
They killed my fetus-
My baby Mohsin never saw the light of day

I lie in the ground now
No one knows where I lie

I present my complains to you:
They broke my ribs
They killed my fetus
My Father.
