What did you see on the battlefield, Imaam-e-Sajjad

1.              
What did you see on the battle field, Imaam-e-Sajjad
How did you cope with this great torment, Imaam-e-Sajjad

2.              
What did you see when the Alam fell, when the water spilled
Where are those hands of uncle Abbas, his mission fulfilled

3.              
Did you see the tiny cradle shake, hearing "Halmin"
Where is your brother Asgher, his life yet to begin

4.              
Did you see Aun and Mohammed fight, so brave and bold
For Allah they sacrificed their lives, the truth to uphold

5.              
What did Kassim call out as he fell down to the floor
If only Shabbar could see his young son martyred in war

6.              
Did you see on Shaame Ghariba, tents set alight
Did you see your aunty Zainab stand on guard that night

7.              
What did you hear in Yazid's palace, when Zainab spoke
Did he not know that your pure family were under the cloak

8.              
What happened to the protectors of the veil of Zainab
She did endure such a tragedy, her strength: sabr

9.              
What did you see in the court of Shaam, heads on display
The story of Ashura is in our minds each day
