I remember reading the speeches of Shaheed Ayatollah Muttahiri and I found them of great use. His other writings also helped me clear many concepts. Thank you for sharing.
A Cry from the Heart
Remember the days of Karbala,
When the best friends
Of Islam played their part.
Mourn for the days of Karbala,
Tearing a cry from the heart.
The only sound was the whispering wind,
Mixed with the cries of thirst.
Of the friends and family of the
Martyred saint on the eve of martyrdom’s first.
As the red sky loomed over that tragic scene,
The soldiers attacked without pity.
In the name of God they offered their lives
And were accepted to the heavenly city.
As the martyrs lay on the bare hot earth,
Reflected in Zainab’s (A.S) eyes.
Alone she (A.S) sat, a witness to death,
And no none to hear her cries.
Remember the days of Karbala,
Immortalize them,
Keep them apart.
Mourn for the days of Karbala,
And bleed with a cry from the heart

کیا صرف مسلمان کو پیارے ہیں حسین
چرخِ نوعِ بشر کے تارے ہیں حسین
انسان کو بیدار تو ہو لینے دو
ہر قوم پکارے گی ہمارے ہیں حسین
سورما فتنۂ باطل کو دبا دیتے ہیں
خون دہکے ہوۓ ذرّوں کو پلا دیتے ہیں
اپنی گودوں کے چراغوں کو بھجا دیتے ہیں
اپنے چاندوں کو اندھیرے میں سلا دیتے ہیں
مثلِ شبیر جو پیغامِ عمل دیتے ہیں
ایسے ہی لوگ زمانے کو بدل دیتے ہیں
