- Kerbala and Beyond: An Epic of Immortal Heroism p. 163 by Yasin T. al-Jibouri, quoting Bashir ibn Juthlim (61 AH/680 AD)
  يَا أَهْلَ يَثْرِبَ لَا مَقَامَ لَكُمْ بِهَا *** قُتِلَ الْحُسَيْنُ فَأَدْمُعِي مِدْرَارُ
  الْجِسْمُ مِنْهُ بِكَرْبَلَا مُضَرَّجُ*** وَالرَّأْسُ مِنْه عَلَى الْقَنَاةِ يُدَارُ
  O people of Yathrib! May you never stay therein! *** Al-Husayn is killed, so my tears now rain
  His body is in Karbala’ covered with blood *** While his head is on a spear displayed.
