Noha Lyrics:

Intro
When the hot sun set on Ashura, bodies lay scattered in Karbala
Did they have no shame, Ahlul Bayt were slain
Zainab lamented to Fatima

Chorus
Oh dearest mother Ya Fatima, look what has happened in Karbala
Come back and save us, they have betrayed us
Zainab lamented to Fatima

1
When your son Husayn took his beloved to the battlefield for some water
They quenched his thirst with a three-pronged arrow, Zahra you do not want to know more
Even a baby was martyerd thirsty
Zainab lamented to Fatima

2
When Husayn\\\'s son Akbar gave the adhaan they thought Rasulullah was calling
It struck them that they were on the wrong side but then they saw Ali Akbar speaking
They had no decency and felt no sympathy
Zainab lamented to Fatima

3
When my two young sons Aun and Muhammad went out and fought so valiantly
I was grateful and thanked The Almighty for what a blessing He did give me
Defending the truth, rejecting falsehood
Zainab lamented to Fatima

4
That night after Husayn had been martyred, I stood outside and alone with my sword
I was the guardian of all the children, but then a man did slowly approach
When he came closer, was it my father?
Zainab lamented to Fatima

5
When your great grandson will reappear, he will resemble Rasulullah
He will come back near the Holy Kaaba and avenge the blood of Karbala
Salaam on you son, the holy twelfth one
Zainab lamented to Fatima
