📌Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Remembering Karbala Once Again The Imam’s Beloved Daughter Most Reveled Sakina (‘a) (" Bevon kaa mulke Shaam mein jis dum guzar hua" ) When in Shaam the caravan of widows arrived In embarrassment they bowed their heads and cried Seeing the spectators lined up on the streets Tears of humiliation filled their eyes Having trailed through the roads, shops and streets The Queens reached the court of the infamous Yazid There Yazid conversed with Abid at length Hearing Abid's responses, the attendees wept Disgraced, Yazid brought the confrontation to a close Enraged at Sajjad's character and strength while all spectators went back to their homes To prison the kin of the Prophet went on In the dark prison, they sat heads bowed Frightened of the darkness, Sakina looked around So exhausted was Abid from His journeys on foot He dropped to the floor without a sound Many nights He had stayed up, many miles He had walked He slept now, resting His ahead on the wall "why is it so dark" Sakina wanted to know "What place is this mother, where no air flows?
The darkness is smothering, I can't see a thing Not the earth beneath or the sky above" "We cannot stay here, no one will survive Won't lamps be lit when evening arrives?" "If it stays this dark, I will certainly not last I'm convinced that this night will not pass My Father would cradle me on his chest at night Now sleep on the dirt?
