Emotional Tribute to a Loved One

My Husayn, my Husayn, I went to the Ascension My Husayn, my lonely one,

حسینم غریبم به معراج رفتم

چجوری برم قلبمو جا بذارم؟

My dear, for three days and three nights at this grave You still haven't spoken

هنوزم غمت رو برادر نگفتی

از اون جسم در خون شناور نگفتی

have passed, and you didn't call me Forty days have passed, and you didn't

چهل روز رفت و یه خواهر نگفتی

say" sister" For 40 days, I haven't had a peaceful sleep For 40 days,

I haven't had any rest For 40 days, I have had nothing to do except

چهل روزه که هیچ کاری به غیر از

gazing at your child's hair For 40 days, I haven't even

چهل روزه یه پیرهن رو هم نذاشتم

چهل روزه رو پام مرهم نذاشتم

couldn't raise a flag for you in the pit but I spared nothing

برای رقیه ولی کم نذاشتم

Forty days passed, but it felt like 40 years Forty times I went

چهل مرتبه سمت گودال رفتم

نبودی ببینی بهم چی گذشته

don't know how many times I fainted With blood- filled eyes,

با چشمای پر خون با این قلب پاره

رسیدم به خاک عزیزت دوباره

and see what your Zaynab has endured Rise, my Husayn, for a

بلند شو حسینم که مهمون رسیده

چهل روزه که خواب راحت ندارم

I haven't had any rest For 40 days, I have had nothing to do except

چهل روزه که هیچ کاری به غیر از

gazing at your child's hair For 40 days,

I haven't changed my shirt, For 40 days, I haven't put salve on my feet.

چهل روزه رو پام مرهم نذاشتم

I couldn't even raise a flag for you in the pit, But I spared nothing

برای رقیه ولی کم نذاشتم
