A conversation between Sayyida al-Zahra [as] & Imam al-Hassan al-Mujtaba [as]: Poetry
حسن حسن
هذا نداء الزهراء … يبني يا حسن (This is the call of Zahra ... My Son O Hassan)
هذا نداء الزهراء … يبني يا حسن (Hathā Nidāh al-Zahra ... Yabni Yā Hassan)
***
We join Zahra in her tears and agony, we lament with her upon this tragedy
My son what happened why are you so bloody, this image breaks my heart its so hard to see
I lost father first than my husband Ali, Allah witness this event please hear my plea
My Son, My Son
O My son what have they done, What happened to you
O My son please answer me, What happened to you
**
Worry not mother this is not like the nail, when it pierced you I still remember the wail
Soon my lovely mother I follow your trail, my face has changed like yours it is so pale
The coming tragedy is of greater scale, mother Ashura is the upcoming tale
*
Mother, Mother
O Let us cry for Hussain, his tale is next
O Let us lament for him, his tale is next
**
O my son do not remind me of Ashura, the greatest tragedy is in Karbala
I’m not sure wether to shout O Hassaināh, or join Zaynab and shout out O Hussainah
My lamentation has become my aroma, so witness these prayers and these tears Allah
*
Hussain, Hassan
Today I shed tears for you, every night and day
Father and Ali join me, every night and day
