Sometimes, I wonder
Why faithless people like us
Feel a connection towards the name of Haider.
Only The Wise knows, what wisdom lies with him.
The Brave knows only, the secret to the conquest of Badr and Khaiber.
The Learned knows only what drowning ships he saved.
I, am aware of one thing alone.
He was fragrant with the essence of my Lord
He was raised and trained, under him.
And his days and nights were spent waiting for a signal from our Lord's eyes, a word from his lips
If he slept amongst the crowd of enemies, it was but for him, our Lord.
If he bathed in his own blood, fighting, it was but for him, our Lord.
Thus, him, I love
Thus, him, I pursue..
The depths of all love and emotions, are to his name.

Good to read your blog. You are an ardent lover of Ahl-ul-bait and May Allah bless you for this. I request to visit my blog www.nadeemjafri.blogspot.com. I have tried writing few articles on the greatness of Ahl-ul-bait in the light of Quranic verses. Regards. Nadeem
