Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Bright Moon: A Collection of Poems of Imam Husayn (as) Political Topics =================== موضوعات السياسية The Nearest Evil to Good God knows that “Yazid” does not have the goodness that he claims he has Even with all his efforts and enthusiasm Yazid has not acquired any goodness and grace If he had justice and if he would have judged himself; he would have taken distance from his bad conduct and deeds If he would have done so, he would have had at least one good quality among all these evils he has![^1] اقرب الشر الي الخير اللهُ يعلَم أَنَّ مَا يبدِي يزيدُ لِغَيرِهِ وَ بِأَنَّهُ لَم يکتُبـ ـهُ بِخَيرِهِ وَ بِمِيرِهِ لَو أَنصَفَ النَّفسَ الخَؤُو نَ لَقَصَرَت مِن سَيرِهِ وَ لَکَانَ ذَلِکَ مِنهُ أَد نَي شَرّهِ مِن خَيرِهِ Time of Wrongs Our times are the times of constraint and mistakes and treason Goodness has become extinct and good people have been abjected and the ignorant and unwise have reached to power Nobody invites people towards goodness and nobody stops them from vice Freemen are of no value and have become slaves of their own slaves Someone whose pastime is amassing wealth, is ignorant, capricious and uninformed.[^2] عصر الخطايا وَقَعنَا فِي الخَطَا يا والَبلاَيا وَفِي زَمَنِ انتِقَاضٍ وَ اشتِبَاهِ تفَانَي الخَيرُ، وَالصُِلَحاءُ ذَلُّوا و عَزَّ بِذُلِّهِم أَهلُ السَّفَاهِ وَ بَاءَ الآمِرُونَ بِکُلِّ عُرفٍ فَمَا عَن مُنکَرٍ فَي النّاسِ نَاهِ فَصارَ الحُرُّ لِلمَملُوکِ عَبداً فَمَا لِلحُرِِّ مِن قَدرٍ وَ جَاهِ فَهَذَا شُغلُهُ طَمَعٌ وَ جَمعٌ وَ هَذا غَافِلٌ سَکرَانُ لاَه Honorable Death To live in abjectness and to die in degradation is something I don’t like If I would be given a choice between life and death; I will consider it better to move beautifully towards death.[^3] الموت بالعزة أَذُلُّ الحَياةِ وَ ذُلُّ المَماتِ؟!
