Arabs eulogize their lost ones with poems. Since the tragedy took place, innumerable poems have been composed eulogizing Imam Husayn (‘a) and innumerable others will be composed till the Day of Judgment. The following are some of them. We preferred to keep them without an English translation due to our belief that no translation into any language can do justice to them. They are better appreciated in their own language.

We pray the Almighty to grant His guidance to all those who read this book, who benefit from it, and who pass it on to others, Allahumma Ameen.
