Even today in Palestine, thousands of Husseins fall as martyrs!
Brothers trample on the blood of brothers,
And kiss the brow of Shimr in cruel delight.
“Ya Allah, send once more Your Ababil,”
Cries the crippled Muslim in desperate prayer.
But have you pondered what will come,
When Ababils descend from Your hand?
Upon the laps of your own brothers they sin,
Will the Ababil spare you then,
Or will Allah grant mercy at last?
