Chorus 1
Husayn ya Mawla
ya Mawla ya Mawla


1
Thirsty Ruqayyah

Thirsty Abdullah
We just need water
Father some water

Where's your flag bearer
Son of Fatima


2
Husayn's all alone
Shah Qasim has gone

Ali Akbar's gone
Abu Fadhil's gone
Even Abdullah

Husayn Wawaylah

3

Zainab cries Allah
Where's Aba Abdillah
Where's Ali Akbar

Where is Abdullah
Where's my alamdar
Where's my flag bearer

Where's my protector
Where is my Abbas


4
Now the tents on fire
Shackled Ruqayyah

Zainab you have seen
Zainul Abideen
Ill and locked in chains

Zahra cries in pain
My Husayn is slain
Where is my Husayn


5
Your head on a spear

My eyes filled with tears
Your body trampled
Why were they so cruel

And it still hurts me
That you died thirsty


6
Zahra cries Husayn
Zainab cries Husayn

My tears cry Husayn
My heart cries Husayn
Husayn cries out last

Where is my Abbas

Chorus 2

Abbas flag bearer
flag bearer flag bearer


7
Children cry in thirst
Where is my Abbas

Abbas cries in pain
Children I've been slain
I can't bring water

For you Ruqayyah

8

Cries of "al atash"
But I am Abbas
I will bring water

For Husayn's daughter
But they've ambushed me
Master forgive me


9
He won't quench his thirst
For Husayn comes first
With his arms cut off

Still won't taste a drop
Blinded by arrow
I cry in sorrow

10

Women and children
Were slapped and beaten
Children cry in fear
Zainab full of tears
Oh my brother dear

I wish you were here

11
Saviours of Islam
I send my salaam

Upon you master
When I drink water
All my love for you
And my life for you
I will beat my chest
I will never rest

I will give my life
I will sacrifice
In my life always
Your flag is raised high
