Dear All:
Thanks to all who read and responded to the posts in this series.
The events of Karbala continue to exert a strong effect on many to this date, myself included.
Historic accounts vary and are subject to revisions and reinterpretations.
I think the message of standing up to the tyranny is what resonates with most and is the reason for its everlasting legacy.

All the verses I quoted are from Mir Anees's work.
Thanks to the seminal work by Dr Syed Taghi Abidi, I was fortunate enough to benefit from this masterpiece.
بس ! اے انیس! ضعف سے لرزاں ہے بند بند
عالم میں یادگار رہیں گے ، یہ چند بند
نکلے قلم سے ضعف میں کیا کیا بلند بند
عالم پسند لفظ ہیں، سلطاں پسند بند
------------
یہ فصل، اور یہ بزم عزا ، یادگار ہے
پیری کے ولولے ہیں، خزاں کی بہار ہے
