Ya Hussain

I look across the river at the tents of Hussain

I’m so far away; i can barely see

But there is something i do see, i see light glowing

glowing and shining brighter than a full glowing moon

But then again I guess i can understand

If it wasn’t for one of those men, the moon would not even have been created

And here was Hussain

Hussain, on the plains  of Karbala

Spending his last few hours in this world

This world filled with vice and animosity

A world filled with hatred and jealousy

A world full of corruption

A world full of people that have given in to the Shaitan

If only they knew, one day

Hussain would be the victorious

Hussain would be the prosperous

Hussain would be the one who would be leading the believers into paradise

Ya Hussain! We’re here for you

Ya Hussain! We’re at your disposal

Ya Hussain! Our hearts ache to hear of your tragedy

Chills run down our spine

Tears come to our eyes

People wonder why we crY

They see us slapping our chests

If only they knew, the reason  we cry

to commemorate the tragedies of the one and only

Hussain IBn Ali

The one and only

Aba Abdillah

The one about whom the Prophet said

Hussein is from me and I am from Hussain

We’re here to commemmorate the tragedies of HUSSAIN IBN ALI

The son of Haydar, the son of the one who lifted the door of Khaybar

The son of Fatima, the son of the woman who gave the greatest birth

The grandson of Rasulullah, the grandson of the messenger of Allah

The brother of Zainab, the brother of Hassan, the brother of Kulsoom

Hear my cry,

Hear me weep

See me shed my tears

For you O Hussain

Your death was the greatest tragedy

A dagger is slicing my heart

I can’t bear to think of it

Labaik Ya Hussain Labaik Ya Hussain
