Many many years ago,
On the bloody field of Karbala,
A noble Hero faced his foe
As champion of God’s faith and law.
With sacrifices of life he saved,
The honor of divine laws.
And far more glorious was defeat,
Upheld the faith of God,
And ever bowed his noble head,
Before the tyrants iron rod.
His memory belongs to every age,
To every creed and clime.
And, shall forever brightly shine,
Undimmed by cruel hands of time.
Let lovers if peace and righteousness,
His life study and read,
And follow, with true earnestness,
The examples of his noble deed.
Of virtue from his sacred dust,
A harvest has sprung.
To tell the truth no man ever was,
Thus honored, wept and sung.
Whatever his faith, whatever his creed;
To every honest man,
Symbol of every virtue is,
The sacred word, Husain.
