Come, my faith, my Imam Hussein

If I enter your city, I don't want to leave
I don't want to look into the face of the ignorant
Come, my faith, my Imam Hussein

They join the line of the Twelve Imams
Here, the deniers are cursed
Come, my faith, my Imam Hussein

In a barren desert without bushes or rocks
In the desert of Karbala, there are both light and lamps
Come, my faith, my Imam Hussein
