Oh Abbas if you were here | Asim Lilani New English Noha 2021 | Muharram 1443

Oh my Abbas if you were hereLyrics:

Zainab is looking for Abbas to appear

Oh my Abbas if you were here

Oh my Abbas if you were here

How could Zainab’s eyes ever see tears

When the arrow struck Ali Akbar

Hussain was searching to see where you were

Calling your name, come help me brother

All he would yearn for was you to appear

When the heads on spears were risen

Someone noticed one head missing

Find Ali Asghar where is he hidden

They pulled his body out with a spear

I had witnessed my brother’s demise

I saw him slaughtered in front of my eyes

Oh Abbas come help I would cry

Why did you go when I needed you near

Sakina waited for you to return

Earnings snatched and her clothes burned

With every whip for you, she would yearn

Her delicate face and strikes so severe

After you, our tents were invaded

Your sisters in Shaam paraded

We were called names and degraded

People threw stones at us and cheered

Asim and Naqi when Zainab spoke

Falsehood was silenced and tyranny broke

The consciousness of mankind awoke

Her words made arrogance hide in fear

Oh my Abbas if you were here...
