Her grave in Damascus glows in splendour of shrine
Inviting people to Islam – the Pristine
Brought by the Prophet, her grandfather
Blossomed the Rule of Justice by Ali, her father
Lectured in the Mosque by Zahra, her mother
And irrigated by the Blood of Husain, her brother,
She resembled her father Ali
And her mother Fatema, in piety,
Unschooled but secrets of the Qur’an were with her,
Likewise Torah and Evangel were known to her;
What unseen to us, was seen by her,
She opened eyes in Qur'anic atmosphere
And grew up in the lap of Imamate's celestial culture,
She kept the tragedy of Karbala alive
And conveyed the Message of Brother wherever her drive.
She yet a child saw her mother engulfed in flames' flood
When she grew up saw her father’s sword-struck head.
Again she saw her brother Hasan vomiting blood
And in Karbala she was to relay the epic of blood.
Without Zainab Islam is lame
At Zainab rests Islam’s fame.
Right Faith is which Zainab directs
She is the daughter of the Path that Qur’an directs.
Patience was her word to societies free
As and like her father Ali.
In battles as sword of Ali fought
In the courts of tyrants her tongue like a sword fought.
