The Saviour of Islam

The Saviour of Islam !

The leader of Islam !

The hero of Islam !

Hussein! Hussein! Hussein!

You saved Islam by giving your life

The courage and patience you had to strive

To sacrifice your self was easy for this life !

Hussein! Hussein! Hussein!

You gave your family but never complained!

You had no water but never blamed

Your family was tortured

Hussein! Hussein! Hussein!

Without resting day and night

Fought with Yazid to show us the right

From the darkness life you brought us the light

Husein! Hussein! Hussein!

Ya Zeinab! Ya Zeinab!

"Lady of Faith, Lady of Strength,

They killed your sons, your brother, and your friends

then they came and burned your tents.

Oh what courage you did show

Even as those fires did glow.

To Yazid's palace were you dragged

With our sick Imam (Imam Sajad) who was bound

Ya Zeinab! Oh Ya Zeinab!

Face to face with Yazid you said

How dare you treat the Ahlul Bait so bad??

Yet yazid stayed so so very glad !!!

Your role was clear, there was no choice

To save Islam you used your voice.

Oh Ya Imamaaaa!

Oh Ya Hussainaa!

Oh Ya Zeinabaaa!
