ETERNAL BOND, by فاطمة الزهراء
In His Name the Most High
They’re Done
They’re Gone
To the Great Beyond
They were Killed
In a Field
Defenseless, they were Gunned
They were killed Brutally
Murdered Unjustifiably
And forced to go Yond
The Inhumans killed our Brothers
Not spared were our Sisters
With whom we had a Strong Bond
They killed our Fathers
Captured our Mothers
Cursed are those Hounds!
They shot our Leader
And many a Mentor
Cursed are those Black Hounds!

They killed our Siblings
Who weren’t Weaklings
And of whom we were so Fond…
They forced us to Separate
But they can never Eliminate
What we shared – a Strong Bond
They executed the Order
To send them Yonder
To Al-Kauthar, Great Pond
They acted like Savages
From the Remotest Villages
Savages – less than animals, horned.
Allah, the Almighty
The Creator of the Sovereignty
Relieve us, to you we Turned.
They put us in Bondage
Without ample Cleavage
Like beef, corned
We call for Peace and Unity
Of the Islamic Community
Our Voices cannot be Churned
Our Tears we’ll shed
Like the blood that was bled
When they indiscriminately gunned
We’re not Helpless
Nor are we Hopeless
But Patient against the Hounds
For Retribution, we’ll wait
For it can never be Late
And so be warned!
I swear they can never Demolish
This Image they wish to Tarnish
Contrary to that, it’ll go Yond!
We Pray to Allah
Strengthen us, Ya Allah
To Flourish this Eternal Bond
They’re Done, They’re Gone
To the Great Beyond…
To Al-Kauthar, Great Pond!
We cannot but wish
That we’ll also reach
Them and forever be bound
