Efforts: Isha Haider Hasnain
Our hearts are bleeding on your destined pain.
How can we leave you ya Hussain?
How can we leave you ya Hussain?
(1) While you have put off all the empty lamps;
While you have pulled up all the torn curtains;
While this darkness screams a cry of silence;
The cries of Zainab”s sorrow, we can listen...
Our hearts are bleeding on your destined pain.
How can we leave you Ya Hussain? X 2
(2) The little girl has kept her hopes for water high with us;
With a broken cup to us from tent to tent she keeps on run;
The hiccups of the infant tear our hearts so deeply;
Then why do you ask us to go, how can we leave?
Our hearts are bleeding on your destined pain.

(3) We see wrinkles covering your face in a night”s span;
You”re asking us to leave; are you doubting with who we stand;
Please take this sword and kill us now for Zainab to believe;
But our lives are just for you. For you our lives from us can leave.
Our hearts are bleeding on your destined pain.
How can we leave you Ya Hussain? How can we leave you Ya Hussain?
(4) We know Oh Master, you don”t need us to be here;
Because your brother, the standard-bearer is here;
But how will we answer your grand-father on the Reckoning Day,
Should we leave you all alone on Ashura, we fear.
Our hearts are bleeding on your destined pain.

(5) Since the day, you”ve camped in this barren land;
We hear a lady scream and wail your name at nights;
We know Zahra has come to witness Karbala”s fight;
She cries this out with us, wailing on your plight…
Our hearts are bleeding on your destined pain.
How can we leave you Ya Hussain? X 2
