Saint Husayn and his brother Saint Hasan, the grandsons of the Prophet Muhammed, have different and special positions in Muslim societies. Saint Husayn was martyred by the soldiers of Yazîd, who has declared himself as khalifa in Karbala. Various works were produced to describe this harrowing incident. One of them is Nâle-i Uşşâk, which was written by Mustafa Âsım born in 1856, in Istanbul and died in 1904, in Trabzon. The poet has imitated the work of Kazım Pasha from Koniçe named Riyâz-ı Asfiyâ. The work is a masnavi consisting of 141 couplets. The poet explained that he has written this work because he wished to describe the harrowing incident of the great person, Saint Husayn, in Karbala, after starting his work with basmala. The poet told about deaths of the Prophet Muhammad, Saint Fatima, Saint Abu Bakr, Saint Omar, Saint Othman, Saint Ali and Saint Hasan in his work. After that, he started to the main topic he wished to tell. According to the work, Mu‘âwiya has declared his son Yazîd as khalifa. Yazîd has requested Saint Husayn to obey him. People of Kûfe have stated that they will support Saint Husayn and called him there, then he has departed towards there. When he has arrived Karbala, Ibn Ziyâd, one of Yazîd’s commanders, and his soldiers encircled them. Firstly, they have left them without water, then attacked them. Although Saint Husayn and his neighbours were few in number, they fought heroically. But the heretic named Shimr bin Zi’l-jawshan has martyrized Saint Husayn. Saint Husayn’s family and friends were first exiled to Damascus and then to Hijaz. This incident caused grief in the entire Muslim world. Even angels in the sky cried and groaned. Mustafa Âsım described the event in his work in accordance with historical facts. In this study, it is tried to evaluate the work of Mustafa Âsım named Nâle-i Uşşâk, and transcribed text of the work is provided at the end. In addition, it has been tried to indicate similar or different aspects of Koniçeli Kazım Pasha’s work named Riyâz-ı Asfiyâ.
