Zainul Abedeen
Sweet Zainul Abedeen
Forever tears will flow
For you suffered so.

From the plain of Karbala
You were dragged so far
Shackled with wicked chains
Inflicted with such pain

Never eyes could see
How they tortured thee
How blood fell on your hand
Amidst the sweltering sand

Zainul Abedeen
Sweet Zainul Abedeen
Forever tears will flow
For you suffered so.

For what crime were you taken there
How could they be so unfair
Your crime was to call for Islam
For the benefit of man

They dragged you from town to town
They tried to bring you down
They tried to break your will
And in your mind defeat instill.

Zainul Abedeen
Sweet Zainul Abedeen
Forever tears will flow
For you suffered so.

In the court of cursed Yazeed
Attacked you they surely did
Zainab protected you
As your illness weakened you

To fight another day
Was the only way
To save the message of Allah
You surely suffered so

Zainul Abedeen
Sweet Zainul Abedeen
Forever tears will flow
For you suffered so.

For years oppression would stand
Forgotten that wicked sand
Of loathsome Karbala
Where innocents murdered were

No place was ever safe
For the ahlul bayt
So lonely abandoned you stood
For the sake of good

Zainul Abedeen
Sweet Zainul Abedeen
Forever tears will flow
For you suffered so.

His gentle whispered prayers
Filled the poisoned air
His psalms of sweet tabyeen
Preserved our precious deen

The pain and scars he bore
The miseries he saw
Inflamed a holy zeal
God centred prayer would heal.

Zainul Abedeen
Sweet Zainul Abedeen
Forever tears will flow
For you suffered so.

The times of shackled pain
The days of wicked shame
Echo from age to age
And must our hearts enrage

To loose the sinful chains
To free ourselves from pain
We must seek out the truth
We must embrace the proof

Zainul Abedeen
Sweet Zainul Abedeen
Forever tears will flow
For you suffered so.

The hidden one is near
He calls to rise from fear
He awaits for us to wake
His banner for to take

Prayers of Zainul Abedeen
A staff on which we lean
They guide they teach they lead
The ummah of Tawhid

Zainul Abedeen
Sweet Zainul Abedeen
Forever tears will flow
For you suffered so.
