The faithful's hearts listens and weeps

We wish to favor those deemed weak (2x)

Every mountain seems to stand still firm and proud

Yet it is passing like the passing of clouds.

For so many dark clouds try to hide your sun's light,

but the faithful's prayers are whispered in the night.

There is a reason that their prayers are whispered.

We know for certain, Mahdi, that you're listening.

There is a reason that our prayers are whispered.

We know for certain, Mahdi, that you're listening.

When will your voice sonorous call?

Leaning on the Kaaba's wall.

Although they see it distant, we see it near.

The day that you will be leading us in prayer.

Although they see it distant, we see it near.

The day that you will be leading us in prayer.

Leaning on the Kaaba's...

مُتَّكِئاً عَلَى جِدَارِ الْكَعْبَةLeaning on the wall of the Kaaba,

مُدَوِّياً بِصَوْتِ الْحَيْدَرِيresounding with the voice of Haidar,

أَلَا يَا أَهْلَ الْعَالَم"O people of the world!"

أَنَا الْإِمَامُ الْقَائِم"I am the Qa'im, the Imam!"

ألا يا أهل العالمO people of the world!

أنا سيف الله المنتقمI am the vengeful sword of Allah!

يا طالباً بدم المقتول بكربلاءO seeker of vengeance for the one slain in Karbala!

يا فارس الحجازO knight of the Hijaz!

يا بقية الله أدركناO Baqiyyatullah, rescue us!

لبيك يا مهديHere I am at your service, O Mahdi!

The ones who saw Moses (2x)

Splitting the sea into halves,

He found them worshipping a calf.

They found them worshipping a calf.

And we have not seen your holy face.

We saw no sea to see our faith.

We weren't promised thirty days.

We weren't promised thirty hours.

We never saw Jesus give life to the dead.

From the burning bush no one heard what was said.

We never saw Jesus give life to the dead.

From the burning bush no one heard what was said.

All I have is an ounce of faith and grams of hope,

And a verse reading hold on to Allah's rope.

We will wait even if just one day is left

The word hasten will be our final breath

We will wait even if just one day is left

The word hasten will be our final breath

Your eyes will start, God, your call leaning on the Kaaba's wall from your heart

Although they see it distant, we see it near

The day that you will be leading us in prayer

Although they see it distant, we see it near

The day that you will be leading us in prayer

Leaning on the Kaaba's wall

How we yearn to hear your call

I don't want to philosophize (2x)

And compare you to the sunrise

With my sighs, I wish to speak with my sighs

I wish to speak with my sighs

The lovers' eyes gleam with hope as they pass by

Your sight will turn your lovers blind (2x)

Seeing Joseph they cut their own hands with knives

If we see your beauty we may take our lives

Seeing Joseph they cut their own hands with knives

If we see your beauty we may take our lives

So many Jacobs have seen you in their dreams (2x)

Visualizing your victory while tears stream

Tears stream

Will you appear the way that Haydar was born?

From within Kaaba, will we see the wall torn?

Will you appear the way that Haydar was born?

From within Kaaba, will we see the wall torn?

Raising God your banner top

Leaning on the Kaaba's wall the final time

Although they see it distant, we see it near

The day that you will be leading us in prayer

Although they see it distant, we see it near

The day that you will be leading us in prayer

Leaning on the Kaaba's wall

Oh, how we yearn to hear your call
