Poem Lyrics:

For her Haidar cries, Fatima has died (2x\\\'s)
And by you is your sword
Oh lion of your Lord
And by you is your sword
Oh lion of your Lord

Your Thulfiqar though it\\\'s unseen cries tears for her
Asking you for vengeance please give it an answer
It points toward the door that was burned by fire
And asks you: \\\"Please let me avenge her, oh Haidar\\\"

For her the sword cries, tears flow from it\\\'s eyes (2x\\\'s)
To sorrow it\\\'s been called,
Oh lion of your Lord
To sorrow it\\\'s been called
Oh lion of your Lord

Haidar answers with his tears talking to the sword:
\\\"Do not tempt me I must show patience to my Lord\\\"
\\\"Though my patience is slowly dying oh my sword\\\"
\\\"I can\\\'t use you to avenge her as I was told\\\"

\\\"To draw you I yearn, In grief my heart burns\\\" (2x\\\'s)
\\\"So draw me,\\\" says the sword
Oh lion of your Lord
\\\"So draw me,\\\" says the sword
Oh lion of your Lord

The sword says, \\\"Haider my eyes saw her when she screamed\\\"
\\\"After the door crushed her, her rib broke as it seemed\\\"
\\\"Oh Haidar to argue with you I do not mean\\\"
\\\"But by the wall and door she was crushed in between\\\"

\\\"How can you stand still when she has wailed?\\\" (2x\\\'s)
\\\"Vengeance by me assured\\\"
O lion of your Lord
\\\"Vengeance by me assured\\\"
O lion of your Lord

Haidar with tears flowing, cries in his bravery
\\\"Oh sword of the wall and door do not remind me\\\"
\\\"For I remember the nail that pierced her body\\\"
\\\"And I wish that in my hand oh sword you had been\\\"

The sword begs \\\'Ali, \\\"In your hands raise me\\\" (2x\\\'s)
\\\"Haidar answer my call\\\"
Oh lion of your Lord
\\\"Haidar answer my call\\\"
Oh lion of your Lord

Haider two things for vengeance are making a call
For vengeance is asking from you the door and wall
Still stained upon them is her blood that on them fell
With their eyes they saw Zahra\\\'s rib broken and torn

For justice they\\\'ve begged
Since her blood was shed
Even patience it cries,
Oh lion of your Lord
Even patience it cries,
Oh lion of your Lord
