Imam Hussein Lament: Fatimah al-Zahra and Haydar’s Sword

This was the death of the Prophet's little child

This was the death of the Prophet's little child

My Hussein was the light of Asadullah's eyes

Lady Fatimah was on the hill of sorrow

Our cause came from the truths of the Quran

My mother is the daughter of the great Prophet

My mother is the daughter of the great Prophet

Is Hussein on a spear not the light of Zahra's eyes?

At last, this tribe brought this morning to ruin

From the house of Sufyan came another decree for murder, like Hamza's

Tell that tribe that they killed the men of faith

Haydar-e Karrar drew the two-bladed Zulfiqar

That king of the pious let out a cry of deep anguish

From that cry, they all came fleeing
