This murder is not the murder of any one person
\nThis is the murder of truth, of equality, of decency
\nThis is the murder of knowledge, of wisdom, of humanity
\nThis is the murder of tolerance and kindness, of humility
\nThis is the murder of sympathy with the most oppressed
\nThis is the murder of not one or two, but that of a thousand
\nThis is the murder of God, the murder of the masterpiece of providence
\nThis evening is the evening of desolation<\/a>, this morning the morning of Hunayn<\/a>
\nThis murder is the murder of Christ, this murder is the murder of Husayn<\/a><\/p>\n

Makhdoom Mohiuddin<\/a><\/p>\n

(My translation)<\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong> This poem was translated into Persian<\/a> by Eskandar. Makhdoom wrote this poem upon the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr (in 1968). It is the first of three parts, but I’ll leave the other two for later.<\/p>\n

\n

Shaam-e-Ghareeban<\/strong><\/a> is literally, “evening of the poor,” but I learned from Eskandar’s translation<\/a> that this refers to the commemoration of the martyrdom of Husayn (see below) on the 10th of Muharram (Ashura<\/a>), and so, following Eskandar, “evening of desolation” it is.<\/p>\n

The Battle of Hunayn<\/strong><\/a> was fought between the Muslims and certain tribes after the conquest of Makkah. In the opening part of the battle, the Muslims were ambushed and in disarray despite their strong numbers, which resulted in the slaughter of many of them. The battle was later turned around for Muslim victory, but apparently after great loss<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Husayn ibn Ali<\/strong><\/a> was the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad and the son of Ali ibn Abi Talib, Muhammad’s cousin. He was killed (martyred) by Yazid’s forces — many considered Yazid to be a usurper of the caliphate — at the Battle of Karbala<\/a>.<\/font><\/p>\n
