Pass the Salaam

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Imam Abu al-Hasan ‘Ali ibn Husayn Zayn al-‘Abidin (q.s.), when he was harassed by the Umayyad tyrants, lamented: 

“O Winds!  If someday you pass by the sacred land, then pass my salaam

Before the Rawdhah al-Aqdas where the most exalted Nabi rests.

The sadness of separation from Madina feels,

Like a sword stuck deep into my liver.

How fortunate are the people of that city in,

Which is the Exalted and Beloved Prophet.

O Rahmatan lil ‘Aalamin!  Assist Zayn al-‘Abidin,

Who is standing alone and in difficulty amongst the tyrants.”
