this morning i woke up with one goal
to worship God and care for my son
by isha time i was exhausted
relieved that my work was done
and then God reminded me of you
mother of 4 boys like mine
you raised them from when they were little
devoting all of your time
but they left you alone on this earth
for the love of their brother Husayn
as hard as I try to imagine
I can’t even imagine your pain
your faith is the type that moves mountains
and inspires men like me to climb
to prepare for the ascent to Heaven
and follow your lead until it is my time
so Umm al-Banin please teach me
how to raise up a son like yours
so that no matter what happens on Earth
forever with Husayn he will soar
اللهم صل على محمد و آل محمد
