On the Special Characteristics of the Visitation (Ziyārah) of That Noble Imam and Its Twelve Chapters

A Note

On the day when the head of that great one was raised upon a spear, The sun rose bareheaded from the mountains.

A wave began to move and rise mountain upon mountain, A cloud came forth shedding rain and weeping bitterly.

That tent whose ropes were the tresses of the maidens of Paradise, Was overturned by the contrary wind like a bubble upon water.

It seemed as though the stable earth had been struck by a complete earthquake, And as though the heavens had fallen from their motion and become restless.

Those whose litters had been guarded by Jibrāʾīl, Became riders upon camels without litters or coverings.

The Throne trembled in such a manner that even the heavens Thought that the Day of Resurrection had become manifest.

Although this deed was committed by the nation of the Prophet, Rūḥ al-Amīn (Jibrāʾīl) became ashamed before the face of the Prophet.

Then the caravan of grief moved from Kūfah toward Shām, In such a manner that reason itself declared: “The Resurrection has arisen.”
