Bless your connection with the lord during prayer
And bless the tears that came running
From your devoted eyes …

Pain here and there, you’re in between
And every day your tears were seen
From your devoted eyes

Father of Hamza when he came asking if you could continue
Without the grief of Karbala and every pain that you went through
To Al Thumali you replied, this is not possible to do.
Oh Sajad I’d give you my life, and every pain I’d take from you
Turmoil in the heartland of the Muslim world
Which separates the people from the ignorant and wise
If we were there, lives would be sold
And many painful stories told
From your devoted eyes

Master tell us how did you feel, when your brother fell on the ground?
How did you see Akbar’s body, in many pieces it was found?
What did you say when you realised, the moon of Hashim’s not around?
Oh people nothing I could say, my tears and my heart made the sound
You’re there oh uncle and I am ill in my place
Oh uncle I did not get the chance to say my goodbyes
You’re there and I’m here with sorrow
How could I remove the arrow?
From your devoted eyes
