blessed head from the sacred body for worldly gains and fame, but, after only a couple of years, he succumbed to a terrible end. As regard to the revenge taken by Mukhtar Saqafi from the murderers of Sayyiduna Imam Husayn رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ, ‘Allamah Maulana Sayyid Muhammad Na’eemuddin Muradabadi        عَـلَيْهِ رَحۡمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـهَادِی has stated, ‘Just a couple of years after the martyrdom of Sayyiduna Imam Husayn رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ, Mukhtar ordered that whoever accompanied ‘Amr Bin Sa’d (the leader of the Yazeedi army) in Karbala must be killed wherever he was found. Upon hearing that order, the tyrant and cruel people of Kufa ran towards Basra. The army of Mukhtar chased them and wherever they were found, they were murdered. Their corpses were burned and houses were robbed. Kholi Bin Yazeed was that damn and wicked person who separated the blessed head of Sayyiduna Imam Husayn رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ from the sacred body. That ruthless person was also arrested and presented to Mukhtar. Mukhtar got his (Kholi) hands & feet severed and then he was crucified. In the end, he was thrown into blazing fire. Likewise, Mukhtar killed all the evil people of the army of Ibn Sa’d by different tortures and killed six thousand people of Kufa who had contributed in the martyrdom of Sayyiduna Imam Husayn     رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ.’ (Sawanih Karbala, pp. 122)

Ay tishnigan-e-khoon-e-jawanan-e-Ahl-e-Bayt

Daykha kay tum ko zulm ki kaysi saza mili

Kuttaun ki tarah laashay tumharay saraa kiye

Ghooray pay bhi na gor ko tumhari ja mili
