Sometimes as individuals we get drowned in worldly glitters and we want it all
Sometimes as Muslims we wait all year until Muharram just to remember Karbala
Just to walk with Imam Hussain – to remember the martyrs and those slain
To remember that on that day the heavens and earth shook vigorously but not in vain
To remember that on that day narrations say a blackness from out the sky came
And encompassed the blood covered soil of Karbala
Subhan’Allah, Subhan’Allah, Subhan’Allah
Our cry to the Most High is La Ilaha Illallah
Where was I on that day?
Why is it that God did not give me life at that time
So that I could live and give it for the sake of Islam
How I wish to live like Ali did and die like Hussain
God is the greatest I would pray my last prayer
giving alms in Ruku while others may stare
Subhan’Allahe, Subhan’Allahe, Subhan’Allah
And while in the midst of mayhem in combat I may fall
and let my last cry be La Ilaha Illallah
Muhammad ar-Rasul Allah
However, Allah’s wisdom and decree has been calculated carefully
And our life in this time and place has been determined previously
So as Allah has blessed us with breath and we are living today
Let us live like Ali and implement his way, his manners, and his deeds
Let us live such that our champion imam Hussain would smile and be pleased
Let us repent and live without regret such that if we pass away tomorrow
Allah would be pleased with us as He is with the martyrs of Karbala
And our tongues’ last words be of praise to the Most High Allah
Subhan’Allah, Subhan’Allah, Subhan’Allah
La Ilaha Illallah
