Muharram - The month of mourning has arrived …
By: Durr-i-Adan

The crescent of grief has appeared
The month of mourning has arrived

 

Muharram is the month of tears
Muharram is the month of blood

 

Bodies are shredded and the desert is a garden of blood
The crescent of grief has appeared
The month of mourning has arrived

 

The creation is sad and in mourning. It is the month:
When Hussayn was martyred
When the eyes of 'Ali shed blood
The crescent of grief has appeared
The month of mourning has arrived

 

Hussayn sacrificed for the path of Islam
His head is on the spear
His body is on the ground
The crescent of grief has appeared
The month of mourning has arrived

 

The arms of 'Abbas were cut in this month
The three-edged arrow settled in the parched throat of little Asghar
The crescent of grief has appeared
The month of mourning has arrived

 

Zainab will hug the dust of the dungeon in this month
The innocent face of Sakina will be bruised in this month
The crescent of grief has appeared
The month of mourning has arrived
