A poem for Bibi Sakina.Sakina, Sakina, we cry for you.whenever we think about you,

whenever we are blessed to be near you,we feel sorry for you,

as you were of the age of playing,but the army of Yazid did not leave you,

you went under all the hardships for the love of Islam.

O Sakina! O Sakina! the birds also went home dear Bibi Sakina you were left in the small Grave,

Today we Salute you and thousands of people come to you.

ZAHRA & AALIYA. N. PANJWANI.

BIBI SAKINA (A.S)Sakina was her name,

For whom Hijab was no game. A four year old who sacrificed

her thirst, For whom, her fathers love

remained the first, Snatched was her Hijab,

Pulled were her earrings and slapped was her face,

Was tortured by Yazid without any mercy or grace. Cont...

BIBI SAKINA (A.S)On the hot sands of Karbalaa, Kufa

and Shaam, she was tied in shackles and chains, The child who

was hurt as pebbles and stones poured as rain.

Lost everything for the very cause of Islam,

Is our faith stronger as strong as her Imaan?

Suffered the scorching heat of the sun and nights of cold,

Died in the prisons of Shaam, did this four year old.
