يهالعالم

O people of the world

أنا ابني رمية لگيته

I found my son cast aside

ونينه وصلني وجيته

His moaning reached me, and I came to him

أحضنه وأشم هوى ريته

I embrace him and breathe in the air of his lungs

يهالعالم

O people of the world

ربى بحضني، وظهر عاشر

He grew in my embrace, yet by noon of the Tenth

عرفته حسيني بالگوة

I could barely recognise my Husayn

شفت جسمه، صحت ويلي

I saw his body and cried, "Oh how much I sorrow for him"

نزف دم نحره على الخوة

The blood of his throat poured across the empty plain

صحت: يبني، العطش والحر

I cried, "My son, the thirst, the heat..."

يا والي، بجسمك اشسوه؟

O my love, what have they done to your body?

وصلت يمه وفركت إيدي

I reached him and wrung my hands

وأگولن: هو؟ مو هو؟

And kept saying, "Is this him? Is it not him?"

يهالعالم

O people of the world

أنا ابني وأخوته ضحايا

My son and his brothers became sacrifices

گضوا عالغبرة ظمايا

They died upon the dusty ground, thirsty

خواته خذوها سبايا

His sisters were taken as captives

يهالعالم

O people of the world

انگطع گلبي لمن شفته

My heart was torn apart when I saw him

سليب وحاضن وليده

Stripped while cradling his child

على وسادة رمل نايم

Sleeping upon a pillow of sand

حبيبي ومچفي على البيدا

My beloved, face-down upon the open desert

أثر حافر على ضلوعه

The mark of a hoof upon his ribs

گعدت أشتمه بوريده

I sat beside him, breathing in his scent from his jugular

جروح ألف وتسعمية

One thousand nine hundred wounds

شفت ماكو أصبع بإيده

I even saw a finger gone from his hand

يهالعالم

O people of the world

دمعتي وراها مصيبة

Behind every tear of mine is a calamity

أنا أغلى بناتي غريبة

My dearest daughters are strangers in exile

حبيبي ثيابه سليبة

My beloved's clothes were taken as plunder

يهالعالم

O people of the world

وگع محد عليه سمى

He fell, with no one there to say his name

ولا أم صاحت اسم الله

No mother cried out Allah's name

عزيز أمه جسد عاري

His mother's precious one, an empty body

غبار الحومة عليه صلى

The dust of the battlefield prayed over him

لچن والخيل إذا غارت

But when the horses charged

منو اليمنعها توصله؟

Who was there to stop them reaching him?

المصيبة وليدي مو وحده

The calamity is that my son was not alone

وگع وبحضنه عبدالله

He fell with Abdullah (son of Imam Hasan) in his embrace

يهالعالم

O people of the world

أنا ابني غربته چبيرة

My son's estrangement is immense

حبيبي فگدله عشيرة

My beloved lost his whole family

ضحايا وأختهم أسيرة

They are sacrifices, while their sister is a captive

يهالعالم

O people of the world

أنا وليدي وگع ظامي

My son fell thirsty

يصيح ويحلف بجده

Crying out, appealing and swearing by his grandfather

الرمل يلهب چوه أگدامي

The sand blazes beneath my feet

وأنا أدري وليدي ترف خده

And I know my son's cheek is more delicate (on the sand)

اشتفوا بابني وخذوا ثوبه

They satisfied their vengeance upon my son and took his clothes

بگه فوگ الثرى لوحده

He remained alone upon the earth

بحوافرهم يدوسونه

They trampled him beneath their hooves

وبگه يفك چفه ويسده

And his palm kept opening and closing
