Manage episode 278974603 series 2715768
10 Muharram 1442 Karbala Lament: "The Field of Misfortune" from the Rawdat al-Shuhada’ Sung by Abdal Hakim Murad, Mohsin Badat and Kenneth Cook --- Rawdat al-Shuhada’ picks up the story where the Burdah leaves off and takes us through to Karbala. Written by Imam Husayn Vaiz Kashifi (d.1505), it recalls the sufferings of the Ahl ul-Bayt and the reward that lies in wait for them in the next world. Originally written in Farsi, this devotional hymn has been overlooked until recently in the English speaking world but was once sung in awe amongst the peoples within the Ottoman and Mughal empires. Booklet and audio recording available at http://www.hubooks.com --- The Field of Misfortune Upon the field of misfortune All my people lie Their ruddy wounds all untended Open to the sky. The devil’s blade has been fashioned In the blaze of hate, Its poison spirit impassioned In its fiery fate. The edge knows thirst that is rabid Questing here its point To holy flesh for its scabbard Blood it shall anoint. The rainless airs of the valley Hear my lonely cry The widowed daughters of Ali Teach the dust to sigh. Behold Abbas, hero regal Hear Sakina’s thirst Father of grace of the eagle place that maiden first. To see the blood of my brothers dye the sorry sands to hear the keening of mothers cheeks clenched in their hands. So teach the ways of fair patience To the weak and wronged. Strengthen with hope and forbearance wretchedness prolonged. Ya rahmanu Ya hannanu Ya rahimana Anta ghafarul masawi tub ‘alayna. --- Visit us at: https://cambridgemuslimcollege.ac.uk/ For news and updates, subscribe to our newsletter: http://eepurl.com/8cdif --- ©Cambridge Muslim College
