The Greatest Fatima Zahra (A.S) Leaves the World
loving father – The affectionate, caring and wonderful father In blink of an eye departed from world – Gone to paradise, leaving her to mourn With tears of pain agony and grief! – Flowing from her eyes on glowing cheeks She cried during day, and cried at night – Father, dear father! You departed from me.
A few days passed in mourning for her father – Then came shouting group of oppressors at the door They were hypocrites enemies of Zahra – They had ignored the will of Prophet Who said to all Muslims Zahra is my part – The one who angers her surely angers me And who pleases her, he surely pleases me – You all keep her pleased So I will be pleased.
Alas hypocrites came to burn her house – They said that Ali should come out of house And swear allegiance to man-made Caliph – Ali, greatest Imam was God-made caliph It was wrong for him to accept wrong Caliph – When he did not come they should have returned Alas! O my God! They wrongly set the fire – At door of Zahra, who was Prophet’s daughter She said “O people, Hasan and Husain – Are grandsons 0f Prophet you want to burn them?”
I am prophet’s daughter! You want to burn me?” – The man did not listen and he did not care Alas! O my God! The fire and the flames – Were set to burn house with Prophet’s progeny The door was burning It went on burning – The man was cruel, he pushed burning door At delicate Zahra, the daughter of Prophet – He pressed door at her with such a strong force Her ribs were broken her unborn son died – By sword in its case he hit her very hard To give her more pain and more and more wounds – His servant also hit her with lash O my God What a cruel man! What merciless heart! – The door and the sword, the lash and the wound She fell to ground wounded, drenched in blood – Ali held the man by neck said “O man!”
I have made promise of patience with Allah – So I am patient other wise you would learn I would have punished you, O man severely!: – Ali let him go they took advantage They tied rope around the neck of Imam Ali – Who was flesha and blood of Prophet Muhammad They pulled him with force to take him to the court – And great lady Zahra saw heart breaking scene She said aloud to them you leave Hasan’s father – Or else I will curse all of you oppressors Alas they did not heed to prophet’s daughter – And went on pulling him out of his house Holy Zahra raised her pure, powerful hands – With intention to curse although did not curse She was very angry with all oppressors – Her anger made Allah, the Almighty angry At all those oppressors, He was very angry – The sigh of her painful heart reached Supreme throne It made Arsh tremble and brough Allah’s wrath – The walls of the mosque rose high above head To mash enemies, but Ali, merciful – Said “Zahra great Zahra do not curse them Be patient with friends be patient with foes – We live at will of Allah Almighty We suffer and thank Allah Almighty – And Allah is with those who are real patient!”
The greatest lady Zahra controlled her anger – Because her anger could ruin enmeis Would bring punishment on whom she was angry – so the greatest Zahra controlled her anger.
They took Ali to court, demanded allegiance – They were very wrong demanding allegiance Ali said, “To me you pledge allegiance – I am the flesh and blood of the Prophet I am the cousin, son in-law of Prophet – At Gadeer-e-Qum on Allah’s strict order The Prophet made me his first successor – I am one who is his first successor You all should pledge allegiance to me”. – Finally they had to leave great Ali free Then Ali came home and saw holy Zahra – Mourning for son Mohsin, who died before birth Such severe oppression! For progeny of Prophet! – She cried in pain “O father, dear father!
The sorrows and grief which fell upon me – If they had fallen on the bright days The days would become very dark like nights – She went on crying they had no pity Fadak was the garden given to Prophet – As personal gift by owners of Fadak – And Allah, the Almighty, sent order through verse Give Fadak to your kin! And prophet had obeyed – He wrote ownership in name of Fatima The great Bib Fatima Zahra owned Fadak – The first Caliph usurped Fadak from her And also he denied it as the inheritance! – She went to the court but she was denied The right which Allah Almighty gave to her – they became very sinful denying that righ She mourned for her father, for son who was killed – She cried for Fadak, which was father`s gift The wound of the ribs and body and heart! – Eighteen years old, the daughter of Prophet Could not walk straight, took support of a cane – Her body was weak and pain in her heart Her heart was sinking and slow was breathing – Alas! On a night, angel of death came Praying the namaz of Isha she died – Her soul wetn to heaven before Al-migjty O Zahra, dear Zahra! O Fatima Zahra – Were mournful cries of lady Khadija – With clothes on her body the patient Imam Ali – Gave bath to the body and feeling broken ribs – He cried aloud in grief, the pain, agony – He was very patient but could’nt bear the pain Her ribs were broken and arm too wounded – When she was shrouded it was a sad scene With face so pretty, with signs of pain – Zahra was departing with broken ribs and heart Crying in pain were Hasan and Husain – Zainub Umme Kulsoom, cried, “ O mother Please do not go please don’t leave us – O mother, O mother I can’t bear the pain Said strong hearted Zainab and fainted near body – The mother was dead and daughter was fainted The night was dark, trembling were the winds – The angels were crying the houries were crying His heart was crying his eyes were crying – With bier on his shoulder, the mourner Ali Carried the body of Zahra to the grave – Hasan and Husain crying near grave They saw mother’s body, placed in the grave – Their heart was breaking they said being restless.
“O mother, Dear mother You are leaving us – O mother dear mother how can we bear pain?”
