Hussain the grandson of Prophet Mohammed
Was alone on the scorching sands of Kerbala,
Surrounded by thousands of  his enemies,
Hussein fought gallantly,
With his father's sword the Zulfikar,
His enemies feared to approach him but showered him with spears, arrows, axes and stones
The time of Asr(3:00pm to 4:00pm)  approached,
Gibrail descended from heaven,
If Hussain wished He would call the Sky, The Oceans and the Earth to help him.
Hussain is Hussain,
He asked Gibrail what was Allah's wish,
With tears in His eyes Gibrail replied,' Sacrifice yourself for Islam"
Hussain immediately sheathed his Zulfikar and sat under the date tree,
Hussain had 999 wounds on his body,
Dripping in blood he still stood up to prostrate before Allah,
To pray for Islam and his generations to come.
After which he was martyred.
At the time of Kerbala Hussain had only 72 followers,
But today just to utter his name Ya Hussain brings tears to billions of his followers.
