How can you ask who Husayn is? (x2)
Who Husayn is...
How can you ask who Husayn is?
1.
Born in the house of purity; his father was Mawla Ali
In spite of his nobility, he always showed humility
The first brother of Mujtaba, the second son of Fatema
Our third Imaam is the great Husayn (x2)
2.
The messenger was asked to teach; his holy house helped him to preach
Not by their sword but by their speech; so far and wide, the truth did reach
Islam taught by Nabiallah, preserved by the Waliullah
Living in us through the one Husayn (x2)
3.
His family, the ones so pure; such a torment, they did endure
There on the plains, on burning sands; against Yazid, they made a stand
The martyr of Karbala, the king of all the shuhadaa
The saviour of Islam is that pure Husayn (x2)
4.
Ibn-Ziyad, you must concede; in paradise, Husayn will lead
He always taught the one true creed; following him, you will succeed
He rode the shoulders of Nabi, beloved grandson of Rasool
The youth of paradise follow Husayn (x2)
5.
The twelfth Imaam, the one unseen; will soon return, to renew our deen
He'll root out all of those unclean; he's looking for just three-thirteen
The soldiers of Imaam Mahdi, will not just be anybody
They'll come from the Shia of Husayn (x2)
