Hearts beating in unison with the same rhythm,
This is the cry of Love that sets everything ablaze!
Yet the story of Love is far deeper, captivating all of humanity.
This is the eternal Love, that forever remains in the hearts.

Hearts beating in unison with the same rhythm,
This is the cry of Love that sets everything ablaze!

Hearts beating in unison with the same rhythm,
This is the cry of Love that sets everything ablaze!

Calamitous is a place that lies between,
That makes fiery shadows in the flames,
There once was a madness in it’s midst,
Swaying the marshes to it’s tune,
Take these tunes and weave them together,
In the raging furnace that ignites the flames.

Hearts beating in unison with the same rhythm,
This is the cry of Love that sets everything ablaze!

Hearts beating in unison with the same rhythm,
This is the cry of Love that sets everything ablaze!

He made himself a host for the fiery flames,
Till he burned within the searing fire,
Divine love is what is found over here!
Transforming the teardrops falling here into boundless oceans,
For a moment, leave this world,
Be transfixed, as your heart breaks.

The curtains were raised, and that which was and was not, revealed,
Truly, you’ve been blind, until you’ve seen!

A voice a whisper midst the pain
From the soul declared insane
No one listened no one heard
Hatred defined that sinful world.

Then a son from midst that soil
One who longed for righteous toil
Took the hand out stretched in peace
Bonds of love that could never cease

Ya Ali Ali AL Mortadha
Ya wali ya wali of Allah

The earth could never be the same
The sacred house had birthed the flame
Joy and heart ache from the start
Rent asunder and cleaved apart

Holy child and sacred kin
Battled for the souls of men
Godly words filled with light
Conquered hearts and conquered spite

Filled with awe the people turned
Love for Ahmad surely burned
By his side a light sublime
Sagious warrior love divine

Ya Ali Ali AL Mortadha
Ya wali ya wali of Allah.

Valley of echoes, sacred word
Deceitful water where truth unfurled
Those who love me will love him
Those who leave him will turn to sin

Murderous slaughter in minds of men
Burning hatred for Islam
Pagan tyrants mushrikeen
Depravity of the mustakbireen.

Mighty warrior Mortadha
Fearsome soldier of Allah
Raised his sword for the world’s oppressed
Armour of god upon his chest.

Ya Ali Ali AL Mortadha
Ya wali ya wali of Allah.

The cleavened Kaaba foretold the path
Some of the saved and some of the wrath
Some would be love and some were hate
Ascension assured through the city’s gate

A cloak defines the holy proof
Lamentation their weapon of truth
The broken hearts and the vale of tears
An enemy forms when truth appears

Too much for they who opposed Ali
His justice love and piety
They feigned religion and the raiment wore
They sold their souls and revenge they swore .

Ya Ali Ali AL Mortadha
Ya wali ya wali of Allah.

The garden of Ali defiled
His holy sons would be reviled
His precious joy, sweet Fatima
Taken from him in his darkest hour.

The beloved of the mustadhafeen
Ya Amirul mumineen
Lies were spread, and deceit proclaimed
The name Ali would be defamed.

Creeping satans on the night of power
Demonic agents skulk and cower
Gentle ruku and sajdah
Precious the worship of Mortadha

Ya Ali Ali AL Mortadha
Ya wali ya wali of Allah.

The tender teacher of the poor
Taught the hearts to rise and soar
Elevated the ummahs path
Cleaved the world from sin and wrath

Martyred they our blessed Ali
In the month of serenity
At the banquet of Allah
Sacrificed our morning star

Men of Hajj and dhikrallah
As those who’d March at Karbala
Cleaved the head of the holy one
Masters of a satanic throng.

Stand all upon a precipice
A choice to make twixt hell or bliss
Cleaved unto or cleaven from
Master he the cleaven one.

Ya Ali Ali AL Mortadha
Ya wali ya wali of Allah.

See the Kaaba still it stands
Now it’s held in traitors hands
Those who walk with a faith that’s faigned
Those who live with a life profane.

Cleave they to a life of death
Witness they with every breath
Hypocrisy and evil deeds
While Orphans and poor ones they cry and bleed.

We long to walk with our Ali
A painful path it’s sure to be
So we must dwell in Allahs word
Divorce this wicked and fruitless world

Ya Ali Ali AL Mortadha
Ya wali ya wali of Allah.

Resistance surely is his way
The tyrants must be made to pay
Take up the fight, we Ayer you be
Put on the garb of unity.

The lovers, we must stand as one
Battle hard against every wrong
Inward struggle and outward war
No stone unturned no unsettled score.

In the name of Blessed Ali
On the path of Haidery
Build this hope in every land
For Imam Az-Zaman, we will make our stand.

Ya Ali Ali AL Mortadha
Ya wali ya wali of Allah.

Of a flower of purity who dwells in every heart.

O Princess of Qom, O light of this land,

O Karima of the Household, O purity of faith.

She is Fatima al-Ma’sumah — the fairest of all names,

Daughter of al-Kadhim, a light that lifts every sorrow.

Born in Medina, in purity and grace,

In her, the light of mercy; in her, the beauty of hope.

A sister to al-Ridha, a full moon on a luminous night,

Her mother is Najma — a heart both pure and great.

Knowledge and patience, a light that never fades,

And worship as gentle as the dawning light.

In her veil is shelter, in her modesty is grace,

In her purity is a path, a path toward perfection.

In the year 201 of the Hijra, she departed by the will of the Merciful,

In Qom, she rests — a sanctuary of the highest majesty.

We come to you in longing, O light of every heart,

O model of purity, O way of all our ways.

With all desires prostrated, devoted only to Allah in the presence of your purity;
Until they are transformed into sonnets and supplications glorifying Allah.

With all desires prostrated, devoted only to Allah in the presence of your purity;
Our eyes overflow with tears as they look towards the skies.
Our Master Mahdi(AJ), refreshes our eyes through meeting with you!

Create for us, in the midst of our morning, a sonnet full of light;
That tells the tale of your glory and majesty!

Our eyes overflow with tears as they look towards the skies.
Our Master Mahdi(AJ), refreshes our eyes through meeting with you!

Create for us, in the midst of our morning, a sonnet full of light;
That tells the tale of your glory and majesty!

Your sonnets are like unto the Spring of Love;
We know that Isa(AJ) (Jesus(AJ)) longs to pray behind you!

The voices are constantly saying, separation from you is heartbreaking!
Oh the son of Guidance(AJ), yearning for you tears our hearts apart!

The voices are constantly saying, separation from you is heartbreaking!
Oh the son of Guidance(AJ), yearning for you tears our hearts apart!

So pour the pure water of your purity; and fill our cups;
And honour us with your presence, to cool the desert of our hearts.

Be merciful to the hearts that melt with your love,
Hearts from whence, the signs of grief are shown, as were seen in Ya’qub(A).

So pour the pure water of your purity; and fill our cups;
And honour us with your presence, to cool the desert of our hearts.

Be merciful to the hearts that melt with your love,
Hearts from whence, the signs of grief are shown, as were seen in Ya’qub(A).

Your eyes; are like unto the Spring of Love;
So revive our existence and enliven our souls;

For how long must we bear this heart and soul wrenching separation from you?
How can the Earth or the skies ever contain your greatness, Oh our Leader(AJ)?

The lungs of the Earth are suffocating,
Till when will it breath the sweet air of your kindness?

So will you or will you not return (at this time), Oh Our Master(AJ)?
There is a blazing thirst in our souls; and only you are our water!

The cries of the bewildered and confused are deafening,
Only your presence can bring them into a state of serenity.

Your presence can see it in the form of the coming dawn, the perfect image of the Quran.
At every twilight, your mystical love mixes with our blood.

Sometimes your promise is on the Earth, sometimes it gives us patience to bear our tale of oppression and sorrow.
And it tells us with the clearest of proofs; that truly our need for your is immense.

The promise was truly going to be fulfilled, projecting the most perfect Prophetic Light. (reference to South Lebanon)
It left the Universes and chose, the home of the free in the South (reference to South Lebanon);

The Sincere Promise, that has never lied; a fiery thunderbolt that was never put out.
And it shall remain for always a Karbalai (Revolutionary) fire.

With your assistance, Hezbollah has wiped out the illegal occupation
They showed us the true remnants of the heroes of Siffin!

Hearts beat, each beat longing for the Revolution, even before the beat forms.
From the wombs of Glory, they said to come, for the Victory is coming!

Oh Raised Sword of Allah (against the oppressors)!

Peace be upon your pure Soul!

Pray Ardently for the Return of Imam al-Hujjah(AJ)

English

By the dawn, And [by] ten nights, And [by] the even and the odd, And [by] the night when it passes, Is there [not] in that an oath [sufficient] for one of perception? Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with ’Aad— [With] Iram—who had lofty pillars, The like of whom was not created in the lands? And Thamud, who carved out the rocks in the valley? And Pharaoh, owner of the stakes? [All of] whom oppressed within the lands And increased therein the corruption. So your Lord poured upon them a scourge of punishment. Indeed, your Lord is in observation.

And as for man, when his Lord tests him and is generous to him and favors him, he says, “My Lord has honored me.” But when He tests him and restricts his provision, he says, “My Lord has humiliated me.” No! But you do not honor the orphan And you do not encourage one another to feed the poor. And you consume inheritance, devouring [it] altogether, And you love wealth with immense love.

No! When the earth has been leveled—pounded and crushed— And your Lord has come and the angels, rank upon rank, And brought [within view], that Day, is Hell— That Day, man will remember, but what good to him will be the remembrance? He will say, “Oh, I wish I had sent ahead [good] for my life.” So on that Day, none will punish [as severely] as His punishment, And none will bind [as severely] as His binding.

[To the righteous it will be said], “O tranquil soul, Return to your Lord, well-pleased and pleasing [to Him], And enter among My [righteous] servants, And enter My Paradise.”

2. Surah Al ’Imran (Family of Imran) | 3:169–175

The martyrs are not dead but alive and sustained — rejoicing, fearless, and urging those behind them: sufficient for us is Allah, and He is the best Disposer of affairs.

Arabic

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَمْوَاتًا ۚ بَلْ أَحْيَاءٌ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ يُرْزَقُونَ ﴿١٦٩﴾ فَرِحِينَ بِمَا آتَاهُمُ اللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ وَيَسْتَبْشِرُونَ بِالَّذِينَ لَمْ يَلْحَقُوا بِهِم مِّنْ خَلْفِهِمْ أَلَّا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ ﴿١٧٠﴾ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ بِنِعْمَةٍ مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَفَضْلٍ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُضِيعُ أَجْرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿١٧١﴾ الَّذِينَ اسْتَجَابُوا لِلَّهِ وَالرَّسُولِ مِن بَعْدِ مَا أَصَابَهُمُ الْقَرْحُ ۚ لِلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا مِنْهُمْ وَاتَّقَوْا أَجْرٌ عَظِيمٌ ﴿١٧٢﴾ الَّذِينَ قَالَ لَهُمُ النَّاسُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ جَمَعُوا لَكُمْ فَاخْشَوْهُمْ فَزَادَهُمْ إِيمَانًا وَقَالُوا حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ ﴿١٧٣﴾ فَانقَلَبُوا بِنِعْمَةٍ مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَفَضْلٍ لَّمْ يَمْسَسْهُمْ سُوءٌ وَاتَّبَعُوا رِضْوَانَ اللَّهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ ذُو فَضْلٍ عَظِيمٍ ﴿١٧٤﴾ إِنَّمَا ذَٰلِكُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ يُخَوِّفُ أَوْلِيَاءَهُ فَلَا تَخَافُوهُمْ وَخَافُونِ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ﴿١٧٥

English

And never think of those who have been killed in the cause of Allah as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision, Rejoicing in what Allah has bestowed upon them of His bounty, and they receive good tidings about those [to be martyred] after them who have not yet joined them—that there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve. They receive good tidings of favor from Allah and bounty and [of the fact] that Allah does not allow the reward of believers to be lost— Those [believers] who responded to Allah and the Messenger after injury had struck them. For those who did good among them and feared Allah is a great reward— Those to whom people said, “Indeed, the people have gathered against you, so fear them.” But it [only] increased them in faith, and they said, “Sufficient for us is Allah, and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs.” So they returned with favor from Allah and bounty, no harm having touched them. And they pursued the pleasure of Allah, and Allah is the possessor of great bounty. That is only Satan who frightens [you] of his supporters. So fear them not, but fear Me, if you are [indeed] believers.

3. Surah As-Saff (The Ranks) | 61:1–14

A summons to sincerity, unity, and struggle — they wish to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah will perfect His light.

Arabic

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

سَبَّحَ لِلَّهِ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ ﴿١﴾ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لِمَ تَقُولُونَ مَا لَا تَفْعَلُونَ ﴿٢﴾ كَبُرَ مَقْتًا عِندَ اللَّهِ أَن تَقُولُوا مَا لَا تَفْعَلُونَ ﴿٣﴾ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الَّذِينَ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِهِ صَفًّا كَأَنَّهُم بُنْيَانٌ مَّرْصُوصٌ ﴿٤﴾ وَإِذْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوْمِهِ يَا قَوْمِ لِمَ تُؤْذُونَنِي وَقَد تَّعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ ۖ فَلَمَّا زَاغُوا أَزَاغَ اللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُمْ ۚ وَاللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْفَاسِقِينَ ﴿٥﴾ وَإِذْ قَالَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُم مُّصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ مِنَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَمُبَشِّرًا بِرَسُولٍ يَأْتِي مِن بَعْدِي اسْمُهُ أَحْمَدُ ۖ فَلَمَّا جَاءَهُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ قَالُوا هَٰذَا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ ﴿٦﴾ وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرَىٰ عَلَى اللَّهِ الْكَذِبَ وَهُوَ يُدْعَىٰ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ ۚ وَاللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ ﴿٧﴾ يُرِيدُونَ لِيُطْفِئُوا نُورَ اللَّهِ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَاللَّهُ مُتِمُّ نُورِهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ ﴿٨﴾ هُوَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِالْهُدَىٰ وَدِينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ ﴿٩﴾ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا هَلْ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَىٰ تِجَارَةٍ تُنجِيكُم مِّنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ ﴿١٠﴾ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَتُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِأَمْوَالِكُمْ وَأَنفُسِكُمْ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿١١﴾ يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَيُدْخِلْكُمْ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ وَمَسَاكِنَ طَيِّبَةً فِي جَنَّاتِ عَدْنٍ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ ﴿١٢﴾ وَأُخْرَىٰ تُحِبُّونَهَا ۖ نَصْرٌ مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَفَتْحٌ قَرِيبٌ ۗ وَبَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿١٣﴾ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُونُوا أَنصَارَ اللَّهِ كَمَا قَالَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ لِلْحَوَارِيِّينَ مَنْ أَنصَارِي إِلَى اللَّهِ ۖ قَالَ الْحَوَارِيُّونَ نَحْنُ أَنصَارُ اللَّهِ ۖ فَآمَنَت طَّائِفَةٌ مِّن بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَكَفَرَت طَّائِفَةٌ ۖ فَأَيَّدْنَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا عَلَىٰ عَدُوِّهِمْ فَأَصْبَحُوا ظَاهِرِينَ ﴿١٤

English

Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth exalts Allah, and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise. O you who have believed, why do you say what you do not do? Great is hatred in the sight of Allah that you say what you do not do. Indeed, Allah loves those who fight in His cause in a row as though they are a [single] structure joined firmly. And [mention, O Muhammad], when Moses said to his people, “O my people, why do you harm me while you certainly know that I am the messenger of Allah to you?” And when they deviated, Allah caused their hearts to deviate. And Allah does not guide the defiantly disobedient people. And [mention] when Jesus, the son of Mary, said, “O children of Israel, indeed I am the messenger of Allah to you confirming what came before me of the Torah and bringing good tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name is Ahmad.” But when he came to them with clear evidences, they said, “This is obvious magic.” And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allah untruth while he is being invited to Islam? And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people. They want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah will perfect His light, although the disbelievers dislike it. It is He who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to manifest it over all religion, although those who associate others with Allah dislike it. O you who have believed, shall I guide you to a transaction that will save you from a painful punishment? [It is that] you believe in Allah and His Messenger and strive in the cause of Allah with your wealth and your lives. That is best for you, if you should know. He will forgive for you your sins and admit you to gardens beneath which rivers flow and pleasant dwellings in gardens of perpetual residence. That is the great attainment. And [you will obtain] another [favor] that you love—victory from Allah and an imminent conquest; and give good tidings to the believers. O you who have believed, be supporters of Allah, as when Jesus, the son of Mary, said to the disciples, “Who are my supporters for Allah?” The disciples said, “We are supporters of Allah.” And a faction of the Children of Israel believed and a faction disbelieved. So We supported those who believed against their enemy, and they became dominant.

4. Surah Al-Baqarah (The Heifer) | 2:154–157

On the living reality of martyrdom, the certainty of trial, and the blessed response of the patient: indeed we belong to Allah, and to Him we shall return.

Arabic

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

وَلَا تَقُولُوا لِمَن يُقْتَلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَمْوَاتٌ ۚ بَلْ أَحْيَاءٌ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تَشْعُرُونَ ﴿١٥٤﴾ وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُم بِشَيْءٍ مِّنَ الْخَوْفِ وَالْجُوعِ وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ الْأَمْوَالِ وَالْأَنفُسِ وَالثَّمَرَاتِ ۗ وَبَشِّرِ الصَّابِرِينَ ﴿١٥٥﴾ الَّذِينَ إِذَا أَصَابَتْهُم مُّصِيبَةٌ قَالُوا إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ ﴿١٥٦﴾ أُولَٰئِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ صَلَوَاتٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ وَرَحْمَةٌ ۖ وَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُهْتَدُونَ ﴿١٥٧

English

And do not say about those who are killed in the cause of Allah, “They are dead.” Rather, they are alive, but you perceive [it] not. And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient, Who, when disaster strikes them, say, “Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return.” Those are the ones upon whom are blessings from their Lord and mercy. And it is those who are the [rightly] guided.

5. Surah Ash-Sharh (The Relief) | 94:1–8

Divine consolation — a reminder that every burden is lifted, every hardship paired with ease, and that the soul’s refuge after every exertion is devotion to its Lord.

Arabic

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ ﴿١﴾ وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ ﴿٢﴾ الَّذِي أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ ﴿٣﴾ وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ ﴿٤﴾ فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا ﴿٥﴾ إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا ﴿٦﴾ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانصَبْ ﴿٧﴾ وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَارْغَب ﴿٨

English

Did We not expand for you, [O Muhammad], your breast? And We removed from you your burden Which had weighed upon your back And raised high for you your repute. For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease. Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease. So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship]. And to your Lord direct [your] longing.

Arabic recitation: Abdul Basit Abdul Samad (Mujawwad) | English translation audio: Ibrahim Walk (Sahih International)

Selected for the Arba’een (Chehlum) of Imam Sayyid Ali Khamenei (ra) — April 2026

Staunch tree of goodness
The world could not wither
No vine of corruption
Could stifle your growth
Your roots were so deep
In the soil of the beloved
Your branches so lofty
They reached out in hope

The gateway of your garden
Twas planted with scripture
The fragrance of mercy
The essence of peace
The shade of your presence
Was the hope of the believers
Your fountain of knowledge
Would bring forth increase

No rain would fall
On the soil of your garden
Yet flowers would bloom
And rich grasses would grow
The love of the lord
And the souls of the martyrs
The life giving word
From sweet rivers would flow

The beauty of your garden
Would draw forth the children
Upon your firm branches
So many would climb
So safe and familiar
So gracious and so gentle
Safe neath your gaze
Oh so many would recline

Through storm and through tempest
Still firm was your heartwood
Your bark bore the scars
From the world and it’s sin
The wounded heartbroken
The mothers and the fathers
Drew closer and closer
All kindred brought in.

Oh mighty tree of goodness
Divine were your saplings
Though far from your garden
They flourish and bloom
Some rise to the heavens
While some are still awaiting
Their lives are eternal
And rich their perfume.

Oh precious tree of mercy
Dark clouds have descended
The howling wind of hatred
Of foul jealousy
The glory of your stature
And nature of your presence
Tis lost on the heartless
That foul enemy.

A scene of devastation
For scorched is our garden
The tree and the flowers
Uprooted have been
The foul wicked wind
That will tare away all beauty
A force of depravity
Surely we’ve seen

The glory of the good tree
Will never be forgotten
For deep within the soil
Comes new life for to see
Tis born of the master
The keeper of the garden
The one who says rise
And it surely must be…

O you who have believed, remember the favour of Allah upon you when armies came to [attack] you, and We sent upon them a wind and armies [of angels] you did not see. And ever is Allah, of what you do, Seeing

We would like to thank the family of Habib Abdul Qadir Bafagih, the donors and all of Al-Khoirot Foundation who have supported our activities

O Allah, Send your choicest blessing on Muhammad(S) and his Family(A)
and fortify the frontiers of the Muslims through Your might,
and support their protectors through Your strength,
and lavish upon them gifts through Your wealth.
O Allah, Send your choicest blessing on Muhammad(S) and his Family(A)

And increase their number, and hone their weapons,
and guard their territory, and defend their midst,
and unite their people, and arrange their affairs,
and send them supplies in a steady stream, and undertake to provide them with sufficient provisions from Yourself,
and support them with victory, and help them with patience,
and give them subtlety in their plans!

O Allah, Send your choicest blessing on Muhammad(S) and his Family(A)
And give them the knowledge of that of which they are ignorant,
and teach them what they do not know,
and show them what they do not see!

O Allah, Send your choicest blessing on Muhammad(S) and his Family(A)
And make them forget when they meet the enemy ...
... to remember this cheating and delusive world of theirs,
and erase from their hearts the thought of its enchanting possessions,
and place the Garden before their eyes,
and display to their sight that part of it which You have prepared for them ...
... from the homes of everlastingness and mansions of honour,
to the beautiful companions, and the rivers ...
... gushing forth with all sorts of drinks, to the trees hanging low ...
... bearing all manner of fruits -
lest any of them think of turning their back ...
... or suggest to themselves to flee the enemy.

Oh Allah, defeat their enemy through that;
trim their nails from them,
and separate them from their weapons,
and remove all the confidence from their hearts,
and ensure their supplies are distant from them,
and bewilder them in their roads,
and turn them astray from their desired destination,
prevent reinforcements from reaching them, and cut them down in number,
and fill their hearts with terror and dread,
hold back their hands from stretching forth (making progress),
tie back their tongues from speaking (render them dumbstruck)
and scatter by them, the ones behind them
and make them a lesson for those who come up behind them (their backups),
and through their degradation; cut off the hopes of those who come after them.

Oh Allah, make the wombs of their women barren,
and dry up the loins of their men,
and cut off the breeding of their mounts and their cattle,
and do not permit the sky to allow them even a drop (of rain) (inflict them with a drought),
nor their earth to grow and yield crops (create a famine in their midst).

O Allah, through that; strengthen the prowess of the People of Islam,
and fortify their cities, increase their wealth and property,
give them respite from their fighting, that they may worship You,
and from their warfare, that they may spend some time with you in solitude,
so that none will be worshipped in the regions of the earth except You
and no forehead of theirs maybe rubbed in the dust for less than You!

O Allah, send out the Muslims of every region ...
... on raids against the idolaters who confront and attack them.
and reinforce them with Angels in ranks from You,
till the idolaters are routed by them to the end of the land,
slain in Your earth or taken captive,
or till they admit that You are Allah,
other than whom there is no god, You alone, and You have no associate!

Oh Allah, include in this Your enemies;
in the various regions of the lands, and the rest of the idolatrous nations,
those whose names and attributes are concealed,
but whom You are aware of through Your perfect and manifest awareness,
and who You oversee through Your absolute power.

Oh Allah, keep the idolaters busy with each other ...
... so that they stay away from the vicinity of the Muslims,
and prevent them from causing harm through being harmed,
and hold them back from massing together against them through dissension.

Oh Allah, empty their hearts of security,
and their bodies of strength,
and distract their hearts from thinking of stratagems,
and make their limbs too feeble for clashing with men,
and make them too cowardly for contending with champions,
and send against them a troop of Your angels ...
... with some of Your severity as You did on the Day of Badr,
so that through it; You may cut off their roots and harvest their thorns,
and disperse their number, mix their waters ...
... with pestilence, and their food with maladies,
and tear down their cities,
and harass them with peltings, and hinder them through droughts,
and place their supplies in the most ill-omened part of Your earth ...
... and the farthest from them, and bar them from its fortresses,
and strike them down with an undying hunger and a severe illness!

Oh Allah, if a warrior from the people of Your nation wages wars against them,
or a struggler from the followers of Your Teachings; struggles against them ...
... so that Your religion may be the highest, and Your party the strongest,
and Your share the most complete - cast ease to him, and arrange his affair,
and attend to him by ensuring his success, and select his companions for him,
and strengthen his back, and lavish upon him ...
... livelihood, give him enjoyment of joyous vitality,
and cool for him the fire of yearning,
and give him sanctuary from the gloom of loneliness,
and make him forget the remembrance of his wife and child,
and pass along to him a perfect intent,
and attend to him with well-being, make safety his constant companion,
and remove all cowardice from him, and inspire him with valour and bravery,
and provide him with strength, and support him with help,
and teach him right conduct and the norms of the Way,
and point him straight in judgment, and remove from him hypocrisy,
and purify him from seeking fame,
and make his thinking and remembering, his departing ...
... and his staying, be in Your name and for You alone.

Then when he stands in ranks before Your enemy and his enemy,
so make them few in his eyes, and diminish their importance ...
... in his heart. Allow him to prevail over them and do not let them prevail over him!

But if You choose to grant him success ...
… and decree for him, martyrdom ...
... then let it be after he has secured the borders of the Muslims ...
... and after Your enemy has turned back in retreat.

Oh Allah, and if a Muslim should take the place ...
... of a warrior or a soldier in his home, or attends to those left ...
... behind in his absence ...
... or helps him with some of his wealth,
or assists him with equipment, or prepares him for the struggle,
or makes a supplication or prayer for his purpose,
or guards his honour during his absence,
so reward him with the like of his reward, measure for measure,
and like for like,
and recompense him for his act with an immediate compensation ...
... through which he will hasten to the profit of what he has sent forth ...
... and the joy of what he has given, till the present ...
... moment takes him to the bounty that You have granted him from Your majesty,
and that which You have prepared for him from Your infinite generosity!

Oh Allah, if the situation of Islam should worry or concern a Muslim ...
... and the alliance of the idolaters against Islam depresses him ...
... so that he has the intent to go to war, or is about to enter the struggle ...
... but frailty keeps him seated, or poverty keeps him waiting ...
... or an unforeseen mishap delays him,
... or an obstruction prevents him from his wish/desire ...
... be sure to write his name amongst the righteous worshippers ...
... and make incumbent for him the reward of the strugglers ...
... and place him firmly in the ranks of the martyrs and the righteous.

Oh Allah, bless Muhammad(S), Your slave and Your messenger,
... and the Family of Muhammad(A), with a blessing ...
... high above all other blessings, that towers above all other salutations,
... a most perfect blessing that is never-ending...
... and whose size can never be computed ...
... like the most perfect of Your blessings that have passed ...
... to any one of Your friends and loved ones!

Surely, You are Most Generous, Most Praiseworthy, the Originator ...
... who takes back again, the Accomplisher of what You desire,

By Your Mercy, Oh Most Merciful of all the Merciful,
And send your choicest blessings, on our master, Muhammad(S) ...
... and upon his pure and most perfect Family(A).

The rhythm of Mashhad’s (Naqqara) drums
Lady Ma’soumeh, Welcome!

The rose of Taha (Prophet Muhammad) blooms anew,
Musa’s (Imam al-Khadim) Kawthar comes into view,
(Lady Fatimah) Zahra returns in radiant grace -
O my soul! (What blessed place)!

Fragrance and spirit fill the air,
Iran’s qibla (spiritual direction), shining fair.
The Sultan (Imam al-Ridha)’s sister graces the land
O my soul! (Take her hand)!

All the prophets, speak her name,
O sister of al-Ridha,
Intercede for us!

O sister of al-Ridha,
Intercede for us!

O sister of al-Ridha,
Intercede for us!

Upon her shrine, the words shine bright,
By Gabriel’s hand in heavenly light:
Who walks her path in reverence deep,
Shall find in Heaven their soul’s keep.

O lady, who kneels by your grave
Has touched the Throne beyond the wave.
By God, your shrine is none but this -
The shrine of Zahra, the source of bliss.

A thread from your veil, so pure and fine,
Binds my soul in faith divine.
By God, your sanctuary -
Is my day of Rizwan (Heavenly delight)!

A thread from your veil, so pure and fine,
Is the rope of my faith.
By God, your shrine
Is the secret of my (reaching) Rizwan (Paradise)

From the courtyard of my heart,
It (my heart) travels to Karbala

O sister of al-Ridha,
Intercede for us!

Congratulations to the one, who boldly stands in the face of the oppressors.
Congratulations to the body, that is wounded, but never falls!
Congratulations to the commanders of Khaybar.
Congratulations to the soldiers of Hayder.

May God give strength, to the honourable army.
Reliance on God leads to the true super power.
May God give strength, to the awe-inspiring commander.
You sang a battle chant, without subtlety and with courage.

Soon they shall lament, the sorrows (they inflicted on others), be replaced with justice.Tel Aviv and Haifa, will surely to the ground, be razed.

Shout from the heart, with your weapon, Ali, Oh Ali,
It has become the roar of lions, Ali, Oh Ali.
Let the houses of tyranny tremble and crumble,
As long as the people of Iran shout, Ali, Oh Ali.

To the Leader of the World (Imam Mahdi), honour, we do bring.
Advanced, have we, the sacred ranks and lines.
A day will come, when we will shout:
“We have weakened the evil of Israel!”

Shout from the heart, with your weapon, Ali, Oh Ali,
It has become the roar of lions, Ali, Oh Ali.
Let the houses of tyranny tremble and crumble,
As long as the people of Iran shout, Ali, Oh Ali.

This nasheed is a patriotic and religious piece from Iran, focusing on themes of resistance and strength. Would you like to know more about the historical context or the symbolic references (like Khaybar or Hayder) mentioned in the lyrics?

Oh Allah, bless our sweet Muhammad
Who fought to enjoin the good and forbid the bad
Who wearied his blessed soul for Allah’s grace
Cut the ties of the womb, within those early days
Cast away those who hated Allah’s word
Brought near the far for those who loved what he conferred,
Showed friendship to the lonely for Allah’s sake
Tried his heart and tested it without mistake
Then forced he was to migrate to a distant place
In exile yet, no person could forget his face
No weapon they to quench the fire of Mustafa

Muhammad, Khatem an-Nabiyeen
Muhammad, the love of the Mu’mineen
Mustafa, Sayyed il-Mursaleen
Rasul Allah, Imam ul-Muttaqeen
The chosen one, for all Mustadha’feen
Our Mustafa, no equal can be seen
Habib Allah, Sahib al-Bayaan
Rasul Allah, Mutahhir al-Janaan

Oh Allah, have mercy for the holy one
Though time has passed, our love for him goes on and on
The blessed words of holy Mustafa
Lead us to the paradise of sweet Jannah
Yet enemies, they slander and they disrespect
Our Ummah, they murder, rape and we neglect
To understand the message of our Holy Book
No enemy, or infidel, Muhammad took
No bargain deal, no patience with the Kafireen
Our only friend, we find, amidst the Mu’mineen
No weapon they to separate us from Mustafa

Muhammad, Khatem an-Nabiyeen
Muhammad, the love of the Mu’mineen
Mustafa, Sayyed il-Mursaleen
Rasul Allah, Imam ul-Muttaqeen
The chosen one, for all Mustadha’feen
Our Mustafa, no equal can be seen
Habib Allah, Sahib al-Bayaan
Rasul Allah, Mutahhir al-Janaan

Oh Allah, bless our sweet Mustafa
Give victory to the Mujahedeen in Gaza*
Give hope and strength to the blessed ones of Palestine
Destroy their evil enemy and their brothers in crime
Give victory for the ones who die for Nasrullah
The fighters and the thinkers who imprisoned are
The aim of all the Ummah, is to liberate
The hearts and minds of all mankind, who justice hate
Return to faith, and all the world will be in peace
For Allah’s way will ensure all the wars will cease
Our blessings we all send to our sweet Mustafa

Salaamullah alayka ya Rasul Allah
Salaamullah alayka ya Rasul Allah
Muhammad, Khatem an-Nabiyeen

Note: The video includes a subtitle stating that the original lyrics mentioned Bosnia, but have been updated to Gaza in this version.

Bravo, bravo, O Army of Ababil!
Bravo, bravo, O Zulfiqar and Sejjil!
With the roar of the Iranian Rostam
Terror has befallen the Israeli den.
The Aryan generation with Husayni honour,
From the land of Cyrus, the children of Khomeini.

The Iranian is proud.
Carved from a dignity that knows no surrender.
In the land full of epics,
the standard-bearer of the Reappearance.

The Iranian is proud.
Carved from a dignity that knows no surrender.
In the land full of epics,
the standard-bearer of the Reappearance.

Humiliation shall never know us!
Humiliation shall never know us!

Of one heart and one tongue, like a family.
Kindness is in the blood of this race.
The lion of this thicket is not in the shackles of slavery.
Their hand has been shown by this will.
The slap became a storm,
These hands of yours and mine became the ‘True Promise’,
a thorn in the enemy’s eye.
A thorn in the enemy’s eye!

We are the men of this battle,
though we are mountains of pain.

With the blood of our tulips,
we insured this soil.

We are the men of this battle,
though we are mountains of pain.
With the blood of our tulips,
we insured this soil.

Humiliation shall never know us!
Humiliation shall never know us!

His shrine, with its six corners,
Has resembled the mighty Throne of God
Karbala draws the hearts from all places,
Everyone, without exception, is Husayn!

Oh, you, in whose name is a cure, Husayn!
Oh, you, whose remembrance is healing, Husayn!
The blossom of Murteza, Husayn!
The Joseph of Zahra, Husayn!

All of God’s creation,
love, respect and know, Husayn!
We are but one world,
There are no borders, no geography, that
separate us from Husayn!

From Europe, to Asia, to the continent of Australia, in the heart of Africa,
They call even from America!
From the farthest reaches of China,
To the lofty peaks of the Himalayas,
In the rice fields of the North,
To the palm trees of the South,
Only Husayn, fills this world!

This call (of Imam Husayn) has become universal,
Praise be to God!

Under the guardianship of Imam Husayn!
Karbala, is the mission of Imam Husayn!
Majesty and Grandeur of Imam Husayn!

The love that is in all our hearts,
Is because of the efforts of Imam Husayn!
They say, that the cure to all of the sick,
Can be found in the pure soil of Imam Husayn!

The hey’at (Husayni gatherings),
are a testament to Imam Husayn!
Your generosity and service are,
for Imam Husayn!

Since generosity is a trait of Imam Husayn!
So then is the nature of the lovers of Imam Husayn!

All who know me, associate me with the hey’at (Husayni gatherings) of Imam Husayn!
The name of Husayn, became a unifying axis,
This is the call of the community of Imam Husayn!

From Europe, to Asia, to the continent of Australia, in the heart of Africa,
They call even from America!
From the farthest reaches of China,
To the lofty peaks of the Himalayas,
In the rice fields of the North,
To the palm trees of the South,
Only Husayn, fills this world!

This call (of Imam Husayn) has become universal,

Ilaahy how could they take him
For what crime did foul ones slay him
Was his crime that of love for Allah and for the poor ones

With Quran on their lips and a sword in their hands
They wounded and they murdered
They bore the curse their hearts were sealed
To vanity surrendered
No turning back no change of heart
Against Allah offended

Ya Amirul mumineen
Ya Imam ul Mutaqeen
Abul Hasan wal Hussain
Glory be unto your name.

Oh eternal is the struggle
All the battles faught within
Through the door into the city
Lays a path away from sin

In the heart that beats for Ali
Theres a light born of his flame
An ark unto salvation for a world bereft in pain.
A mercy to mankind that all humanity can claim.

Ya Amirul mumineen
Ya Imam ul Mutaqeen
Abul Hasan wal Hussain
Glory be unto your name.

Never was a break of Dawn
To witness such a fearful sight
Ya muaddhin call the name
That fills the pious hearts
With light.

Sayyidy your light is shining
Like the moon illuminated
Haydary your door still open
To the city of Muhammad

Ya Amirul mumineen
Ya Imam ul Mutaqeen
Abul Hasan wal Hussain
Glory be unto your name.
