KARBALA
Matloob Bokhari
Love is more beautiful than the rising moon.
Love scent is far sweeter than all perfumes.
Love conquers all the storms of hate.
Love conquers all the winds of fear.
Mountains can be shaken, hills removed;
Love never passes away, love never ends.
All the rivers cannot drown the name of lover.
All the oceans cannot wash the name of lover.
Love is not arrogant, love never boasts;
Love is total submission to the will of Lord.
Those who love not in word but in deed
They know death in love is far better than life.
King of all who love Allah is Imam Hussain:
Place for reverence for all lovers is Karbala.
