After the second World War, the scholars and thinkers of
Europe resolved in a conference to Appeal for Peace to all the powers in the
world in the name of Hazrat Ali Asghar (a.s.), the Little Martyr of Karbala,
Iraq. And they declared him as the “Guiding Star of The Peace”.
The great French
poet, Alexander Ginil, composed a poem of 1500 couplets regarding the tragic
event of Hazrat Ali al-Asghar (a.s.). This composition has also been
translated in English. The poem was sent to all the government of the world in
the name of The Little Martyr, Hazrat Ali al-Asghar (a.s.). Following are few
of the couplets from the poem:
1. Ali Asghar, celestial star of every child,
Master of the bruised and hearts triumphant,
Towards
thee rises, time without end, the unquenchable,
Flame
of eternal love, which thou to our souls hast given.
2. The martyrdom in the middle of the stifling
desert,
of Karbala,
held close in thy father’s arms,
Amid
the thousands of sorrows,
In
the desert which saw thy doom and thy victory,
Will
exalt without end the love in our hours,
Thy
young bloodshed in honor’s name,
Like
a sun dying in its own purpled glory,
3. The little innocents were refused a drop of
water,
And
the victims of the tyrant’s fury,
But
the death, noble child, facing the armies,
Thy
martyrdom among the deserts scorching stones,
Will,
attest forever the wickedness of the tyrants,
Who
left thee too perish of a terrible thirst,
And
to thy dying lips, Refusing the charity of a drop of water,
The
end in the scorching desert.
4. Child: You have risen the tribes of the
world,
You
have risen like a star of stars,
In
the arms of your venerated father.
Your
death fertilized the desert sands,
And
in every heart, you reached the pinnacle of love.
5. At the day of judgement,
We
too say: KARBALA!
Thy
martyrdom, O our Master ALI-ASGHAR,
Has
engraved thee in our hearts,
Thy
name shall ever be on our lips!
From
your place so high, pray with us,
For
an age of Gold, so that justice,
Will
open all paths!
Never
can we think of Karbala,
Without
remembering Thy glorious martyrdom,
Now
we shall ever pray that a new era,
Of LOVE
and JUSTICE and PEACE
Shall
reign in our world forever.
