The Indonesian online newspaper, Berita Bantul, published what it described as “one of the most wonderful poems” in love of Abu Al-Ahrar, Imam Hussein ibn Ali, peace be upon him, which was written by one of the most famous clerics in Indonesia.
The newspaper said in a report, that “a poem entitled (Nazar Ibo de Karbala) by Sheikh Mustafa Bisri, known as (Ghosmus) or (the spiritual leader) sheds light on the Karbala battle which the report describes as a (dark event) in which the Noble Messenger’s grandson, Imam Hussein (peace be upon them), in a very evil manner with all his companions.
The report continued, “The event was beautifully described by (Ghosmos) through very moving poetic passages,” according to the report, while the Indonesian newspaper reported the full text of the poem “Nazar Ibo de Karbala”, which stated:
Twilight sun reflection
From the golden dome
To the mosque and the tomb of the Prophet’s grandson
Faint more
In pool…
The old mother’s tears that roll and flicker,
The one-legged boy in her arms
The transparent beads twinkling on her son’s cheeks…
Sweet pinky
“Mother crying… why?”
Although he lost his leg,
“Happy tears, my son, because our request has been granted
We paid a visit here today to fulfill your mother’s oath.”
Her eyes stopped suddenly when her feet stopped.
Standing at the door of the tomb, repeating the salutation:
“Peace be upon you, O tribe of the Messenger of God.
Greetings to you, O Jewel of Al-Zahra.”
I accidentally touched the wall of the tomb…
And slowly her face turned to kiss him soliloquy:
“Thank you, Lord,
You only test me as much as I can handle.
If I could make a request, I would request the replacement of my husband, my children, and my cottage, with complete devotion and full zeal to continue on Your straight path.”
