Karbala Poem by Colonel Muhamad Khalid Khan

In the line of Abraham and Ismail took a sacrifice
To save the truth from the hands of falsehood, vice
Imam Hussain along with seventy two paid the price
Which made their direct path enlightened to paradise

Truth encountered falsehood with force of faith, belief
For sake of eternity humanity saved by decision of chief
As a verdict of God it was but an eternal declared relief
Blood of innocents for times to come became eternal grief

Till edge of eternity blood of martyrs blossom to celebrate
The battle of Karbala as a symbol of sacrifice is event great
No one no words can ever be able to its essence translate
Only staunch and true lovers can associate and ameliorate

Col Muhammad Khalid Khan
