They adorned the top of your tomb
Come, my faith, my Imam Hussein
They made you the head of the four corners

You are the light in the eyes of Muhammad Ali
A rose in the garden of the saints
A shelter for the lovers, a refuge for the hearts

Come, my faith, my Imam Hussein
Help us, Imam Hussein

Like flowing water, I cannot stop
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
Help us, Imam Hussein

Your lovers burn and blaze with longing
They join the line of the Twelve Imams
Here, the deniers are cursed

Come, my faith, my Imam Hussein
Help us, 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
Help us, Imam Hussein
