Poetry:

Oh my father, on your shoulder, I see spears already pierced
Your blood trickles, starts to ripple, just like all my mourning tears
I am in shock, seeing my rock, crying looking at my ears
Baba tell me, what do you see?
Do you wish they were not pierced?
Baba tell me, what do you see?

My Ruqayya, please do not stare at my wounds that make you cry
To make you calm, take your small palms and raise them up to the sky
Talk to Allah, he is not far, tell him your fears don’t be shy
As for now dear, come to me near, we must begin our goodbyes - A roll
As for now dear, come to me near

What do you mean, I should now lean and give you a last embrace?
You can’t leave me, what will I see after you in this cruel place?
I can accept all but except looking at your empty space
No one can fill your void and still separation I must face
Please don’t leave me

My darling know that I won’t go I’ll always be in your heart
Just look within, past scars on skin, you’ll see that I didn’t part
Separation will now hasten to heaven i must depart
But do not frown I’m still around just a memory apart
My darling know, that I won’t go

My needs I threw for after you whose soft hands will my hands hold
I want nothing, except one thing, that of your death I’m not told
Father you know I can not go a night in this world so cold
Eyes filled with love, I look above, please do not let Hussain go
Let baba be right besides me

When I travelled fights unravelled, I stood against their falsehood
In pain you’d watch, my mind would touch memories since your childhood
How you would come, in my arms run, these thoughts in my heart would flood
Your face I’d trace, my heart would race, whilst in my lone tent you stood - A roll
Innah lilah, Innah lilah

Father tell me, do your eyes see the misery after you?
In chains I’m placed, I am misplaced, every fear doubled in two
I have one wish, they bring a dish, do they think my hunger grew?
I don’t want treats, how can I eat, after all I have been through
Father tell me, do your eyes see?


My daughter come, welcome welcome, heaven is your new abode
Here is no harm, bring your small palms, them I can forever hold
See your brothers, see your uncle, look by him how rivers flow
Happiness will prevail and fill your little heart made of gold
My daughter come, welcome welcome
