Poem: Like moth to flame


The flag stands firm, before you O Hussain, 
It protects you from every harm and every pain, 
It stands firm and protects you O Hussain, 
For with loyalty we flock to you O Hussain. 

Like moth to flame, we flock to you O Hussain.

I look and weep for your tragedy is great, 
The others look at us with contempt and hate, 
They attack us and tell us Hell is your fate, 
We smile back and say, is not Ali standing on Heavens gate?

Like moth to flame, we flock to you O Hussain, 

When you were outnumbered and left alone, 
You wavered not, nor did you falter, 
For Allah's religion, everything you gave, 
I sit here and weep for O Hussain, my master Husain. 

Like moth to flame, we flock to you O Hussain, 


Fourteen Hundred years after your day, 
I sit and weep, people wondering if I am insane, 
I look at your day and wonder, 
Why on your day there is no thunder, 
Knowing the skies weep and heaven rents asunder, 

Like  moth to flame, we flock to you O Hussain

We bring our children to you Hussain, 
Hoping they can serve your Mehdi in every way, 
For the battle began with You in Kerbala, 
but injustice will end with him, 
When he come to us, like the sunlight ray, 

Like moth to flame, we flock to you O Hussain

Bless us to continue serving you O Hussain, 
For Zahra prays for the one who serves you Hussain. 

Like moth to flame, we flock to you O Hussain.

For because of you, the earth receives rain, 
And all goodness does the earth retain, 
For the sacrifice you gave for Islam, 
The world echoes Allah's name. 

Like moth to flame, we flock to you O Hussain
