O Our Lady Umm-e-Rubaab

Umm-e-Rubaab Umm-e-Rubaab Umm-e-Rubaab Umm-e-Rubaab
Umm-e-Rubaab Umm-e-Rubaab, O our lady Umm-e-Rubaab

You see that infant head on the spear and how it's slaughtered from ear to ear
He is my baby, Ali-e-Asghar, his shahaada is inquilaab (revolution)
Umm-e-Rubaab Umm-e-Rubaab, O our lady Umm-e-Rubaab

You feel the tremors rising again, it is the final breath of Husayn
He is my Aqa, the son of Zahra, he is Allah's intikhaab (selection)
Umm-e-Rubaab Umm-e-Rubaab, O our lady Umm-e-Rubaab

You hear this angel weeping alone, her cries of "Baba" challenge the throne
She is Sakina, my little princess, her sahaara is Bou-Turaab (title of Imam Ali)
Umm-e-Rubaab Umm-e-Rubaab, O our lady Umm-e-Rubaab

O not a single moment of calm, from the streets of Kufa to Shaam
O can you see us O our Shiah, at the mercy of every mob
Umm-e-Rubaab Umm-e-Rubaab, O our lady Umm-e-Rubaab

You smell the fragrance of Mustafa in the tears Abid sheds in salaah
With every manzil, with every moment, he is ageing in his shabaab
Umm-e-Rubaab Umm-e-Rubaab, O our lady Umm-e-Rubaab

O for your noble resistance Husayn, I would offer my two kids again
But for your trampled unshrouded body, I will stand under the sun and sob
Umm-e-Rubaab Umm-e-Rubaab, O our lady Umm-e-Rubaab
