Karbala, Karbala, Karbala
Take me to Karbala, Karbala Karbala, Karbala Karbala, Karbala Karbala
I am that beggar who comes to your door
You will answer me of this I am sure
the one who gave Fitrus his wings
the one whose praises Allah sings
do not turn me away
I’ve come from far away
waiting for just this day
To kiss your shrine and say
Take me to Karbala, Karbala Karbala, Karbala Karbala, Karbala Karbala
To see your shrine if they take my life away
I’d still come crawling to you oh Hussain
even if I face certain death
I’ll call your name with every breath
even death can’t stop me
it is my only dream
your shine I need to see
Hussain so desperately
Take me to Karbala, Karbala Karbala, Karbala Karbala, Karbala Karbala
without your love I’d not have a heartbeat
the blood in my veins the air that I breathe
you are my start you are my end
you are more than I can understand
don’t let this distance grow
please call me to your door
look at my tears flow
I can’t wait anymore
Take me to Karbala, Karbala Karbala, Karbala Karbala, Karbala Karbala
we have been tortured and been imprisoned
we are killed daily without a reason
because we love you oh Hussain
and we call out your father’s name
ya Ali we will say
as we will walk your way
every step every day
from your path we won’t stray
Take me to Karbala, Karbala Karbala, Karbala Karbala, Karbala Karbala
even in my sleep I dream of your land
I wish to hold and to kiss the sand
the dust that cures every disease
and in itself can intercede
my master in this life
the only wish of mine
is to die by your side
holding your golden shrine
Take me to Karbala, Karbala Karbala, Karbala Karbala, Karbala Karbala
to be your servant is my life’s aim
everything for you I would give up hussain
I wish I was there by your side
and for your love be sacrificed
despite all of my sins
my master in a blink
you gave me everything
only through your blessings
Take me to Karbala, Karbala Karbala, Karbala Karbala, Karbala Karbala
this is my promise to you oh Hussain
upon my death bed I’ll call out your name
I know that in their final breath
you will cradle your lover’s head
please come to visit me
so my death can be sweet
take my hand when we meet
and in that time of need
Take me to Karbala, Karbala Karbala, Karbala Karbala, Karbala Karbala
the angels come down to circle your grave
even the kings come to your door as slaves
millions crawl on their hands and knees
and come to you with all their needs
this Allah guarantees
you can change destinies
and grant us any wish
Rahib is proof of this
Take me to Karbala, Karbala Karbala, Karbala Karbala, Karbala Karbala
