Hussein, in which state should I enter Medina?

How do I answer those asking, "Where is Hussein?"

How do I answer those who will ask,

"Zainab, where is your Hussein?"

"Where is Abbas?"

The sunset told them the swords

Can't be heard crashing swords

And the river has left

With its guilt not saying a word

And what remained was Hussein

Performing his final prayer

Whilst foes surround him

Deciding who'll be his slayer

Which of these men lost control?

Which of them has sold his soul?

Which of their hearts has turned cold?

Oh, Imam Hussein awaits in pain

Alone without a helper

He is at peace,

His heart at ease,

Beneath the sun without shelter

He waits for fate as he prostrates

This is the son of Hyder

Beneath the sun with no

to help the son of Zahra.

Surrounding him they get near,

and in their hearts they hold fear.

They looked into his eyes,

as if they could see and hear

the voice of Muhammad's cry.

They looked and saw Zahra's eyes,

as if they saw Hassan's light.

He lay as if Haydar's light,

he sheds his tears and Zainab sees,

as he lay down so helpless.

Shimr approached and he got close,

and he sat down on the chest.
