By Al-Rubab the wife of Imam Hussain (as):

The one that used to be a lantern

Is now at Karbala’, killed, unburied.

O grandson of the Prophet! May Allah

Reward you on our behalf and may you

Never fall short of the Scales.

A great mountain you used to be

A shelter, secure, for me,

And a companion in family

And in faith a surety.

Now who shall for the orphans be

Of help, and who shall be for the needy?

Who shall be the resort of the destitute?

By Allah! Never shall I seek

For you at all any substitute,

Till between the sands and the mud is my abode

Wherein I will be hidden from the world.
