| Hussein's Rukaya |
|
Oh my father where are you? How can I live my life through? You went away And Since that day How can I live my life through? * * * * Your face came to me in my dream And I wished it wouldn't go Why does the morning have to come? Why couldn't my night be slow? When I woke up you were not here So then I shouted "Oh No"!! I want you here with me father Where are you? I want to know All I do is drop my tear And keep wishing you were here When I’m crying I keep asking How can I live my life through? * * * * Oh auntie Zaineb could you please Bring to me my dear father? With my tears I kept asking her And my voice got much louder Oh people have mercy on me I am Hussein's young daughter And how can you people forget That my grandfather's Haidar And on top of what I've said My great grandfather's Ahmed When I don’t see Him next to me How can I live my life through? * * * * They came in and they brought with them What I thought was food for me "I don’t want food"!! I answered them My father's the only key I am Rukaya the daughter Of Hussein son of Ali Uncovered what they had brought me And my father's Head I see I closed my eyes with my pain Oh my dear father Hussein You heard me say This every day How can I live my night through? _______ A.J.K
