Poetry:

Allahu Akbar they killed Ali Asghar
I’m sorry oh Rabab
They killed Ali Asghar

This battle is vicious with enemies many
All after my head for I’m the son of Ali
My existence a reminder of treachery
How their wealth is built on my mother’s misery
And how they tortured the Prophet’s great progeny
And how they tortured the Prophet’s great progeny

They want to end my reign
And to remove my name
They want to end my reign
And to remove my name

God’s pleasure is my aim
By Him my light remains

Allahu Akbar they killed Ali Asghar
I’m sorry oh Rabab
They killed Ali Asghar

Along with me came my family to support
I see them as patient although their men all fought
With fallen brothers, husbands, kin and kids distraught
Their strength is unmatched with patience and prayer not short
They stand tall with fearless hearts despite arrows shot
They stand tall with fearless hearts despite arrows shot

This is my family
With so much chivalry
This is my family
With so much chivalry

And when pain they do see
They all Nadi Ali

Allahu Akbar they killed Ali Asghar
I’m sorry oh Rabab
They killed Ali Asghar

Amongst the masses and clanking swords I do hear
A faint whisper of cries carrying painful tears
This voice familiar and much less than a year
A tone of sadness echoes along with such fear
To the tent of my wife Al Rabab I do peer
To the tent of my wife Al Rabab I do peer

She is standing restless
Young Ali is breathless
She is standing restless
Young Ali is breathless

With no water in sight
He is facing his plight

Allahu Akbar they killed Ali Asghar
I’m sorry oh Rabab
They killed Ali Asghar

Oh foe do listen to my words as I explain
Under the intense heat my sons body is strained
In our humble camp no water does remain
Give him even but a little, spare his young veins
It's not his blood you want, it's the blood of Hussain
It's not his blood you want, it's the blood of Hussain

He is in such great pain
For no water remains
He is in such great pain
For no water remains

Tell me what will you gain?
If Abdullah is slain

Allahu Akbar they killed Ali Asghar
I’m sorry oh Rabab
They killed Ali Asghar

Allahu Akbar an arrow pierces the sky
Was it not enough that they took Abbas’s eye?
Do their consciences not scream louder than his cries?
What was the threat? His small crib or his throat so dry?
I pray those were not tears of pains but last goodbyes
I pray those were not tears of pains but last goodbyes

To heaven he does go
My heart in such sorrow
To heaven he does go
My heart in such sorrow

At six months a hero
May God curse that arrow

Allahu Akbar they killed Ali Asghar
I’m sorry oh Rabab
They killed Ali Asghar

I see much blood pooling but it is not my own
We came together and now I stand on my own
All my soldiers martyred but now I feel alone
At tender six months so much torture he was shown
How I wished the chance to see him strong, brave and grown
How I wished the chance to see him strong, brave and grown

All just to keep their throne
They spilt blood and broke bone
All just to keep their throne
They spilt blood and broke bone

His heart was soft
Theirs rusted and from stone

Allahu Akbar they killed Ali Asghar
I’m sorry oh Rabab
They killed Ali Asghar
