Oh Ali Akber

Oh the skies present at Karbala
Witnessing that day of Ashura
I cannot comprehend one thing
And find it ever so troubling
I cannot stop my tears flowing
As I ponder the events so harrowing
Oh dry skies how did you watch from high
Whilst all else could only cry
At least when you heard the Adhaan
How could you not muster your tears?
Allahu Akber, Oh Ali Akber (x4)
As the sun rose on that fateful day Husayn called Ali Akber
"When you recite the call to prayer (I remember my grandfather") (x2)
His voice echoing through the lands, the father bursting into tears
A mother's heart trembles and shakes, this is her beloved's call
His last Adhaan resonates to the tents, the grief it brings unimaginable
Birds circling in the skies above (they too are so mournful) (x2)
A call to martyrdom like Haider's Adhaan in Kufa
The winds carried each word to the Prophet's holy shrine
When Ibrahim told Ismail his dream, his son said "Patient, I will be"
The Ismail of Karbala (wanted to fight with urgency) (x2)
Have mercy on your father's heart as you depart for battle
A father's heart beats with such fear, as his son rides out from the camp
The echoes coming from the tents, duas of the womenfolk and children
"You brought back Yusuf to Yakub (please safely bring back our son") (x2)
Ali Akber fights so valiantly and returns back to the camp
But this joy will be short-lived, Akber bids farewell again
Ahmad-e-Thaani fought so bravely, he battled away so courageously
The enemy sword then struck his head (blood gushed out so profusely) (x2)
It covers over the horse's eyes taking Akber to the foe
Layla's aspirations for her son lay on the desert plains
Husayn rushes into the field on hearing his beloved's cry
A lance embedded in his chest (Husayn looks up into the sky) (x2)
"Oh father, oh father; I too have come to my Khayber"
No cure for Layla's bleeding heart, such endless pain and grief
