Poetry:
Allahu Akbar
They killed Ali Asghar
Allahu Akbar
They killed Ali Asghar
I'm sorry oh Rabab
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
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
-
Along with me came my family to support
I see them resilient though 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
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
-
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
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
-
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
Its 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 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
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
-
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 and 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
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 and pure
Theirs rusted and from stone
