Midnight Tears Poem by Matloob Bokhari

MIDNIGHT TEARS
When the moving moon waned away,
When the singing stars stopped their song,
When the night in despair wore black cloak,
Thought of moments when Christ was all- alone,
When Ismail was taken to the sizzling desert by Ibrahim,
When Hajira was tearfully running between the hills,
When Ayuub suffered loathsome sores without a sigh,
When Hussain tearfully visited grave of Muhammad,
When Hussain picked the pieces of his nephew's body,
When Hussain removed spear from the chest of his son,
When three-headed arrow pierced the neck of Ali Asghar,
When Abbas was tossed on the sizzling sand of Karbala,
When Muhammad tearfully visited the grave of Hussain,
When Fatima cried ‘O My Father' where is my Hussain?
When Zainab in the dreadful night fell in prostration.
In the appalling darkness, tears fell from my tired eyes.
My weeping mingled with ink on the page of my prayers.
Then said from the darkness, the Light of lights.
These are visible signs of Allah's Invisible presence.
Your tears will water the soil of Allah's love in your heart,
And blossom flowers of joy in the garden of your soul.
