Wake up Rukayya wake up, we've been freed, now let's go home

1.              
Let's leave this prison, let's go, let's go to Karbala
That's where you'll find your uncle, your uncle Abbas
Tell him about the tragedy that we went through, now let's go home

2.              
Tell him about the hardships, the painful hardships
Our veils were snatched from us, earrings were torn away
Tell him how your thirst had to be quenched by your tears

3.             
You'll feel better when you meet your dear father
Let's go find the grave of he whose chest you slept on
Tell him how you miss him so dearly, now let's go home

4.              
When you find the grave of your brother Akber
Tell him that we've been freed, no more treachery
Oh one who resembles the Prophet, now let's go home

5.              
Where are the strong arms of your uncle Abbas
Where is the water flask, where is the standard
Where is the grave of your beloved uncle Abbas

6.              
No more pain and grief to endure, we are now free
You'll be back together with your dear family
Oh my mournful one, nights of sorrow have now gone
