We came asking for the father  of Sajad and Ali Al Akbar

 Where did he lay?  Show me the way?  

*    *     *    * 

When you went to Karbala who did you see?

About Hussein I ask you then you tell me

Tell me where’s Hussein’s head and his great body?

Find out for me and then tell me, where is he? 

From my soul I am asking

Where is his body laying?

Where is he?   Please tell me 

*    *     *    * 

When you went to Karbala did you see how?

How did the moon of Hashim fall, tell me how?

Usually it’s high in the sky never low

Laying on the ground eyes shot by an arrow 

I’ll send my life to his eyes

Surely this is no surprise

Where is he?   Please tell me

*    *     *    * 

When you went to Karbala how did you cry?

Were you there when blood came dropping from the sky?

Did you see how Hussein’s head was lifted high?

And instead did you wish if you could just die?

I would sacrifice my head

I wish I could die instead

Where is he?    Please tell me
