“Tears for Martyrs”

______________________________

By: M.S. Tajar

We shed our tears

 For beloved martyrs 
Young and old together…
 Without any fears!
                    ***     
 They shed their own blood
 To make good of the bad  
Though it was very very sad 
 Great impacts they have had 
                    ***
 Martyrs died for God’s Glory
 We shall tell their story… 
 Hallaj , Shush-tari and Nory
 Martyrs shine in our history !
                    ***
They were humans, too
Just like me and you 
But they fought through and through…
For what they knew was true!    
                    ***
From Abel, to the Great Hosain!** 
Murdered by Yazid, or another Cain
Nations mourned them again and again
With solemnity and also with pain 
                    ***
They died for what they believed
Though some people were deceived
Martyrdoms were thus conceived
And great goals were achieved
                    ***
But, the martyrs never died!
Even if the devils tried
Deep inside, the people cried:  
“The martyrs have all survived!”
                    ***
La-la-la-la-la/ la-la-la-la-la…….
 La-la-la-la-la/ la-la-la-la-la…….See More
