the pretext of having romance. The cool breeze of that desolate place aroused Yazeed but the lady said that a shameless person who was disloyal and unfaithful to his Prophet’s grandson could never be faithful to her. After saying so she repeatedly stabbed Yazeed with a dagger and left him there. For a few days, vultures and crows feasted on his dead body. Finally, his people explored the dead body. They dug a ditch and dumped his rotten remains. (Awraaq-e-Gham, pp. 550)
Woh takht hay kis qabr mayn woh taj kahan hay?
Ay khak bata zaur-e-Yazeed aaj kahan hay?
Yazeed’s accomplices who massacred the Ahl-e-Bayt رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم suffered a dreadful end. After Yazeed, the most brutal criminal was the governor of Kufa ‘Ubaydullah Ibn Ziyad. It was he who ordered to torture Sayyiduna Imam Husayn رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ and his blessed Ahl-e-Bayt رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم. After just 6 years, on the same day i.e. the 10th of Muharram, 67 AH (by the strategic revenge conducted by Mukhtar Saqafi) Ibn Ziyad was brutally murdered at the hands of the army of Ibraheem Bin Maalik on the banks of the River Euphrates. The soldiers cut off his head and presented it to Ibraheem who then sent it to Mukhtar in Kufa.
