My Pressing Desire

I have not come close to your gravesite O’ Hussain call me to Karbala  ***

I’m living with the light within me compressed Being away from you causes all of my distress I’m living with no sweetness to hush my heart Without you, there is no inspiration, no art. 

I’ll comply with your regulations I’ll even ask daily for your permission Bring me closer to you so I could move closer to my Lord Take my hand and let me fall in submission. 

I have not seen your sand O’ Hussain call me to Karbala 

I’ve been imagining your sands daily My desire to come visit you is growing You’re all that can satisfy this craving So please, no more stalling, just let me rush to you. 

My time is limited but this desire, unlimited How long will it be until my life becomes worthy? How long will it take for my soul to reshape? Let me come near you to acquire goodness. 

I miss having my vision O’ Hussain call me to Karbala 

Can I be taken to the same dust that prayed upon you? Since I was young, I’d envision your tragedy Let me come closer to you so I can feel your reality I beg you only because there is nothing worth more to me

Do not go and leave me stranded in this world Let me visit you, send me, let me leave Do I need to be more eloquent for your acceptance? O’ Hussain save me from my own corruption

I am yearning to sit with you O’ Hussain call me to Karbala

Won’t you take away our distance? Will you help me climb through the trench of obedience? I am fickle and I may fall but my love is great I sit outside your heart waiting for you to open its gate 

I tried to assist you, alone, in each life I’ve lived You are an innate preference, everlasting I don’t wish to make any empty promises But Hussain, I promise, call me to you, and I wont leave you 

Hear my pleas and wails O’ Hussain call me to Karbala

My heart falls in the jealousy of those walking to you It’s not just your grave I need but Abbas’s too Invite me to the heavens on earth, I’m waiting Don’t ignore me thinking my tears will stop falling 

O’ Hussain inspire me, always so I know my worth If you’re the fire that ignites me Then I know it’ll just be a matter of time I will reach you, just keep my heart steady until then

Pacify this request, I’ll come O’ Hussain call me to Karbala
