Suffered when I lived without my loved ones

I am left all alone    without them beside me

*    *     *    * 

Father of Sajad will you come back and sit here beside me?

Tell me will I hear your voice and will I look at your beauty?

You’re the one I want to speak to and your face I want to now see 

Oh my son will you come back? Missing you will break my back   

Maybe I should start to wear black     it will make me sad and angry 

As long as you come back to me alive 

You can now go and you can now strive

Never I felt the same   without them beside me 

*    *     *    * 

From the voices of the people I am waiting for the one sound

Tell me that father of Akbar with the eyes he can be now found

Instead I hear on the spear his head and his body’s on the ground   

For my four I am now in pain not as much as my son Hussein

His love is running in the vein  and to my heart it is the key 

I am hurt not because of my four 

For Hussein my pain is for sure

Now I will live my life   without them beside me
