Generations of Shia await you
Our hearts and our souls yearn to see you
We can spread your message of salvation
We await your return with conviction
1.
There are times when we flounder in darkness
You bring the torch of faith out to meet us
You're the only one who now can save us (x2)
Our hearts and our souls yearn to see you
2.
From Muhammad; Al-Baqir; At-Taqi
Your name rings from our lips so freely
You're the last of the purest family (x2)
Our hearts and our souls yearn to see you
3.
The awaited, expected, protected
The impending, the promised, predicted
Culminating, concluding, completion (x2)
Our hearts and our souls yearn to see you
4.
Oh Imaam we pray to the Almighty
That he grant us the opportunity
To visit your masjid in Samarra (x2)
Our hearts and our souls yearn to see you
5.
Waliyyan wa Hafidhan wa Qa’idan wa Naasiran wa Daleelan wa ‘Aynaa [FOOTNOTE: Vicegerent, protector, leader, helper, proof and leader]
Our guide to the path of Jannah (x2)
Our hearts and our souls yearn to see you
6.
We pray for a role in your three thirteen
In Shabaan on the night of the fifteenth
Please accept our supplications and prayers (x2)
Our hearts and our souls yearn to see you
