[1] : On the plains of Kerbala, Rose the daughters of Zehra

 

On the plains of Kerbala

Rose the daughters of Zehra (2)

 

Zainab umme Kultum

sisters of Imam mazloom

how they saw all who had died

they weren't allowed to cry

as they raised their head on spears

they wept their silent tears

 

On the plains of Kerbala

Rose the daughters of Zehra (2)

 

Abbas where do you lie

Shimr's making Sakina cry

He's slapping her on her face

her honour he wants to disgrace

what a price for saving Islam

to ensure it come to no harm

 

On the plains of Kerbala

Rose the daughters of Zehra (2)

 

Asghar your cradle's no more

Even to them we did implore

That all we have of poor Asghar

Have some pity on his poor old mother

how her heart it must've gave

when they plucked you from your grave

 

On the plains of Kerbala

Rose the daughters of Zehra (2)

 

Abid is bound in chains

Even though he's full of pains

Witnessed the massacre

And the showings of Zainab's hair

As he stands there all alone

No mercy to him shown

 

On the plains of Kerbala

Rose the daughters of Zehra (2)

 


[2] : Assalaam o alaikya ya wali Allah

 

Assalaam o alaikya ya wali Allah

Assalaam o alaikya ya hujjatullah

Assalaam o alaikya ya Ameerul Mo'meneen (2)

 

A guest you were in the house of Allah

Awoke in the arms of Musttafa

Spoke from the Injeel, Taurat and Qur'an

For you are indeed the Qull-e-Imaan

And you sold your soul in the way of Allah

As you rid the kuffar with your Zulfiqar

 

Assalaam o alaikya ya wali Allah

Assalaam o alaikya ya hujjatullah

Assalaam o alaikya ya Ameerul Mo'meneen (2)

 

Supported Mustafa at the grand banquet

In the battle of Ohud you didn't quit

Running from the battle is unknown to you

Without Ali what would the Muslims do

Badr Khyber became all your gains

In the name of Allah you suffered all the pain

 

Assalaam o alaikya ya wali Allah

Assalaam o alaikya ya hujjatullah

Assalaam o alaikya ya Ameerul Mo'meneen (2)

 

Breathed his last in your lap did Holy Mustafa

Cradled the painful body of sweet Zehra

You were left on your own oh ya Ali

Remained for the oppressed their only wali

Guardian of the Truth and of Al Islam

Sacrificed your rights so it came to no harm

 

Assalaam o alaikya ya wali Allah

Assalaam o alaikya ya hujjatullah

Assalaam o alaikya ya Ameerul Mo'meneen (2)

 

Ghadeer became a distant memory

As they robbed you of your rights on the death-bed of Nabi
entertained you with steel chains round your neck

For on the Qur'an they did turn their back

And they threatened to burn your house oh ya Ali

The house that was once the house of Nabi

 

Assalaam o alaikya ya wali Allah

Assalaam o alaikya ya hujjatullah

Assalaam o alaikya ya Ameerul Mo'meneen (2)

 

As the years have passed the Ummah in misery

Until there comes a man by the name of Al Mahdi

Around the flag of Islam up high in the sky

A whole generation will become ready to die

To establish the deen of Mustafa

in the way of Holy Murtaza

 

Assalaam o alaikya ya wali Allah

Assalaam o alaikya ya hujjatullah

Assalaam o alaikya ya Ameerul Mo'meneen (2)

 

 


[3] : Ya Allah may we never see, how they treated the daughters of Ali

 

Ya Allah may we never see

How they treated the daughters of Ali (2)

 

They marched them from town to town

The Ummah on them did frown

These blessed daughters of Zehra

Looted in Ker-bo-balah

Not a soul felt any shame

Their honour for them was game

 

Ya Allah may we never see

How they treated the daughters of Ali (2)

 

How Sajjad had to bear the pain

Of Zainab being bound in chains

Sakina's cheeks kissed by Hussain

Were struck by Shimr's cane

Oh Abbas where do you lie

For water the children still cry

Ya Allah may we never see

How they treated the daughters of Ali (2)

 

They made her stand for hours on end

Like Zehra Islam she did defend

The playing with the lips of Hussain

Did surely cause Zainab pain

Sakina lays dead without rest

How she longed for her father's chest

 

Ya Allah may we never see

How they treated the daughters of Ali (2)


[4] : Go and Say the Final Adhaan

 

Allah O Akbar

My beloved Akbar (2)

 

Go and say the final Azaan

Go and say the final Azaan

Its time to test our imaan

 

Allah O Akbar

My beloved Akbar (2)

 

Oh Ibrahim Khalilallah

Watch me as I offer my son to Allah

Oh Ibrahim Khalilallah

Watch me as I offer my son to Allah

No blind-folds for my eyes

No blind-folds for my eyes

Is there anyone who hears my cries

 

Allah O Akbar

My beloved Akbar (2)

Say Hayya alaa khairil amal

Its time to carry out our final amal

Say Hayya alaa khairil amal

Its time to carry out our final amal

For Islam we must sacrifice

For Islam we must sacrifice

In shahadat we must end our lives

 

Allah O Akbar

My beloved Akbar (2)

 

You’re the living ziyarah of Mustafa

In your walk in yojr talk in your looks you are

You’re the living ziyarah of Mustafa

In your walk in yojr talk in your looks you are

Can the army of Yazid not see

Can the army of Yazid not see

Killing you is like killing the Nabi

 

Allah O Akbar

My beloved Akbar (2)

 

When they raise your head on a spear in Shaam

The scene you will see will cause you harm

No hijab will there be on Zainab's head

No one will recognize the daughters of Ahmed

 

Be sure to close your eyes

Be sure to close your eyes

Zainab's honour they will try to excise

 

Allah O Akbar

My beloved Akbar (2)

 

Go and say the final Azaan

Go and say the final Azaan

Its time to test our imaan

 

Allah O Akbar

My beloved Akbar (2)


[5] : Come back to me Oh Ali Asghar

 

Come back to me Oh Ali Asghar

I'll sing you a lullaby

Why did you fire the arrow Hurmala

Why O why

Did you fire the arrow Hurmala (2)

 

Few drops of water you needed

How with them your father pleaded

Not a heart was amongst those treacherous souls

Bags of gold and silver were their goals

How your Laila must've cried

when she saw how you died

and cursed your killer's faces

Why did you fire the arrow Hurmala

 

Why O why

Did you fire the arrow Hurmala

 

Come back to me Oh Ali Asghar

I'll sing you a lullaby

Why did you fire the arrow Hurmala

Why O why

Did you fire the arrow Hurmala

 

Sughra is waiting and praying

In Medina with her you'll be playing

How is she to come to know

Oh Asghar you are no more

To see you she's so keen

She's kept your cradle clean

She's expecting you in Medinah

Why did you fire the arrow Hurmala

 

Why O why

Did you fire the arrow Hurmala

 

Come back to me Oh Ali Asghar

I'll sing you a lullaby

Why did you fire the arrow Hurmala

Why O why

Did you fire the arrow Hurmala

 

Three days of hunger and thirsty

What was the fault of this baby

Life for him had just begun

Oh Asghar what have they done

They pierced your neck

And your body ransacked

As you lay in your grave in the sand

Why did you fire the arrow Hurmala

 

Why O why

Did you fire the arrow Hurmala

 

Come back to me Oh Ali Asghar

I'll sing you a lullaby

Why did you fire the arrow Hurmala

Why O why

Did you fire the arrow Hurmala (2)


[6] : Saviour of Islam is Hussain

 

Saviour of Islam is Hussain

Saviour of Islam is Hussain (2)

 

Marched you did onto Kerbala

Fulfilled the command of Allah

Sacrificed all you had

Cut off your blessed head

How can we forget your pain

Saviour of Islam is Hussain

 

Saviour of Islam is Hussain

Saviour of Islam is Hussain (2)

 

Water they denied the family

The Holy Prophet's progeny

Yet they never bowed to evil

Rather that they would be killed

Carried their heads on spears

We remember them in our tears

 

Saviour of Islam is Hussain

Saviour of Islam is Hussain (2)

 

Zainab your going to Shaam

Does surely cause us harm

How you appeared in front of Yazid

Didn't pay him any heed

Taught the message of Kerbala

Labbaik Ya binte Zehra

 

Saviour of Islam is Hussain

Saviour of Islam is Hussain (2)


[7] : On the pieces of Qasim cried bano

 

On the pieces of Qasim cried bano

Ya ilahee ilahee ilahee (2)

 

Oh beloved dearest Qasim

Oh light and purest of Hassan

Beauty you had like the full moon

Till you rode out to your doom

Such innocence no one had for sure

Oh Qasim why can't I see you any more

On the pieces of Qasim cried bano

Ya ilahee ilahee ilahee (2)

 

Came to be you the groom of Kerbala

Oh radiant sign of Mujtaba

What reception you had for your wedding

Caused the people of Kufa to come and bring

Tears of arrows and spears for you

Oh Qasim where are you where are you

 

On the pieces of Qasim cried bano

Ya ilahee ilahee ilahee (2)

 

Boy soldier of Hussain's army

The heart beat you were of so many

So keen you were to sacrifice

You're the twinkle in Hussain's eyes

Didn't spare you the forces of the enemy

Horses galloped on your hungry body

 

On the pieces of Qasim cried bano

Ya ilahee ilahee ilahee (2)


[8] : Abbas is no more

 

Abbas is no more my dear Zainab

Abbas is no more my dear Zainab (2)

 

He now lies in a pool of blood

His promise he wanted to make good

You'll be marched off without your hijab

Shimr will ransack your garb Zainab

 

Abbas is no more my dear Zainab

Abbas is no more my dear Zainab (2)

 

Desperate to end the children's thirst

For him servitude was a must

How he fell from his horse Allah knows

But his fall will surely your hair expose Zainab

 

Abbas is no more my dear Zainab

Abbas is no more my dear Zainab (2)

 

From today I've lost the will in my back

Shortly they will my body ransack

They'll cut off my head and hold it high

Abbas where are you why did you die Zainab

 

Abbas is no more my dear Zainab

Abbas is no more my dear Zainab (2)


[9] : Every blessed day is Ashura, Every land and place is Kerbala

 

Every blessed day is Ashura

Every land and place is Kerbala

Labbaik Ya Allah (2)

 

Bags of gold was the Ummah's greed

To the Prophet's words they paid no heed

Hussain-o-minni wa ana minho

Hussin's from me and I from him

Labbaik Ya Allah

 

Every blessed day is Ashura

Every land and place is Kerbala

Labbaik Ya Allah (2)

 

To love my kin is all that I ask

Prophet surely set a simple task

Kept them hungry and thirsty for days

Hussian's naked body in the sun did lay

Labbaik Ya Allah

 

Every blessed day is Ashura

Every land and place is Kerbala

Labbaik Ya Allah (2)

 

Amr bil ma'roof  was a way

Nahi anil munkir they did say

For this paid the price with their lives

Slain in front of their children and wives

Labbiak Ya Allah

 

Every blessed day is Ashura

Every land and place is Kerbala

Labbaik Ya Allah (2)
