Reciter: Tejani Brothers
Ya Abbas
As I see my reflection in you, I would take death or pain
I just want to get you, to the children of hussain
Oh Furat
when I hold you in my palms
my soul and my heart break
as I see the children’s face
my two hands begin to shake
I hear the cries of Al atash
they are calling out my name
I just want to get you, to the children of husain
Oh Furat
As I see my reflection in you, I would take death or pain
I just want to get you, to the children of husain
Oh Furat
my parched lips will stay dry
despite three days of thirst
until all of the children drink
I won’t drink a drop first
In you I can just see their face
my grief I cannot contain
I just want to get you, to the children of husain
Oh Furat
As I see my reflection in you, I would take death or pain
I just want to get you, to the children of husain
Oh Furat
Throughout all Arabia
I am known for my loyalty
my name is the one called
when there is a difficulty
my heart can never bear
To see anyone in pain
I just want to get you, to the children of husain
Oh Furat
As I see my reflection in you, I would take death or pain
I just want to get you, to the children of husain
Oh Furat
Look at me I am the result
of the prayers of ali
my eyes did not open until
my master hussain held me
from the moment that I was born
this has been my life’s aim
I just want to get you, to the children of husain
Oh Furat
As I see my reflection in you, I would take death or pain
I just want to get you, to the children of husain
Oh Furat
with one mission I have been sent
towards the battlefield
to bring water back and
for my sword not to weild
my master gave me this command
and in his love I am insane
I just want to get you, to the children of husain
Oh Furat
As I see my reflection in you, I would take death or pain
I just want to get you, to the children of husain
Oh Furat
all my dreams and all of my hopes
belong in that water flask
if that ever gets pierced
it will be the end of abbas
I will not return to the tents
because of the guilt and shame
I just want to get you, to the children of husain
Oh Furaat
As I see my reflection in you, I would take death or pain
I just want to get you, to the children of husain
Oh Furaat
an arrow is deep in my eye
I have lost both of my hands
the flask is clutched to my teeth as
you spill out upon the sands
I fall onto the ground upon
my face from the horses reins
I just want to get you, to the children of husain
Oh Furat
As I see my reflection in you, I would take death or pain
I just want to get you, to the children of husain
Oh Furat
As it brushed against his skin
To Abbas the water replied
Through you my name will be known
We will stay side by side
so that I can kiss your feet
In honour as your slave
for all of eternity
I will circle your grave
Oh Abbas
