Spirit of Husain
Spirit of Husain, pious strong and brave
Take us as shaheed; take us as your slave
Spirit of Husain, pious strong and brave
Take us as shaheed;take us as your slave
O you lonely hearts, shattered by the pain
Hear how every tear shouts out Husain's name
The call of Al-Husain echoes from age to age
Every saddened face holds a sacred place
O you tearful ones, can you see the child?
Can you see him smile, hold him for a while?
Can you hear him cry, see tears in his eyes?
This was our Husain, Ali Asghar was his pain
O fearless Abbas! Where are your sacred hands?
Where are your shining arms? Plundered on the sands?
Where is your valiant heart? Where is your sword so sharp?
Quench their thirst -- so pure, brave you surely were!
Daughter of Haydar, your pure heart bears the scars
Beloved of Batul, you felt their hate so cruel
Sisters in Islam, imagine yourselves in Shaam
You're the heirs of dear Zaynab, holding to hijaab
Upon each Ashura, our hearts ache for Husayn
The suffering of Rabab, of Zaynab and Sajjad
Our blood flows through our veins, burning with your name
Our love for Rasul Allah calls us to Karbala
Farewell O Husain, let's leave this wretched place
And by Allah's will, in jannah we'll kiss your face
Farewell Sayyid Sajjad, farewell O dear Zaynab
Farewell O Karbala, we come to Madinah
My love for you
My love for you Ya Imam is so true
I will Shout Hussain, heartbroken if only you knew
And my Tears will drop in vain for you
You are so close to my heart;
from it you will never depart.
You were born on the 3rd of Sha’ban
You were a gift from The Rahman
Your father was Al-Hayder The man who lifted the door of khayber
He was the first Imam And also one of the first to embrace Islam
Your mother was Al Zahra, She loved you so much
Whenever you spoke, her heart was always touched
Without resting day and night
you fought against Yazid to show everyone the right
I saw your heart in deep pain
It left you when you were slain
You all fought in vein
Soon your friends and family were left in chains
Thanks to you Islam is still the true path and same
We are living and we are breathing your name
Your children and the successor Imam Abideen.
Were parts of a great masoomeen.
Did they not know you were a part of the Ahlul-Bayt
On the day of Judgement they will await their fate
