Noha Lyrics:

Chorus 1
Husayn ya Mawla
ya Mawla ya Mawla

1
Thirsty Ruqayyah
Thirsty Abdullah
We just need water
Father some water
Where\'s your flag bearer
Son of Fatima

2
Husayn\'s all alone
Shah Qasim has gone
Ali Akbar\'s gone
Abu Fadhil\'s gone
Even Abdullah
Husayn Wawaylah

3
Zainab cries Allah
Where\'s Aba Abdillah
Where\'s Ali Akbar
Where is Abdullah
Where\'s my alamdar
Where\'s my flag bearer
Where\'s my protector
Where is my Abbas

4
Now the tents on fire
Shackled Ruqayyah
Zainab you have seen
Zainul Abideen
Ill and locked in chains
Zahra cries in pain
My Husayn is slain
Where is my Husayn

5
Your head on a spear
My eyes filled with tears
Your body trampled
Why were they so cruel
And it still hurts me
That you died thirsty

6
Zahra cries Husayn
Zainab cries Husayn
My tears cry Husayn
My heart cries Husayn
Husayn cries out last
Where is my Abbas

Chorus 2
Abbas flag bearer
flag bearer flag bearer

7
Children cry in thirst
Where is my Abbas
Abbas cries in pain
Children I\'ve been slain
I can\'t bring water
For you Ruqayyah

8
Cries of \"al atash\"
But I am Abbas
I will bring water
For Husayn\'s daughter
But they\'ve ambushed me
Master forgive me

9
He won\'t quench his thirst
For Husayn comes first
With his arms cut off
Still won\'t taste a drop
Blinded by arrow
I cry in sorrow

10
Women and children
Were slapped and beaten
Children cry in fear
Zainab full of tears
Oh my brother dear
I wish you were here

11
Saviours of Islam
I send my salaam
Upon you master
When I drink water
All my love for you
And my life for you
I will beat my chest
I will never rest
I will give my life
I will sacrifice
In my life always
Your flag is raised high
