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?
