Ya Hussein Ya Hussein! Ya Hussein!
Your name is enough to make blessings rain!
Your beautiful dome invites us towards Allah!
Your love envelops our heart subhanallah!
The grace and mercy is truly amazing!
Our soul is inspired in a way astonishing!
As we remember you, tears fall from our eyes automatically!
Everybody seems to be pulled towards you systematically
Zaeereen in thousands are able to find a corner and room in your shrine!
Their faces beam and smile!
Under your dome they experience a wonderful serenity
As they experience a glimpse of Allah’s proximity
Then chanting with pure love they cry out! Ya Hussein!
The Arifeen also hear angels joining in saying Ya Hussein!
As a zaeer starts to get closer to the Dome!
The change in their being is like lightening and storm!
If only we would have true understanding of the gifts that pour!
We would never turn away and ignore!
Oh! How lucky one is to acknowledge this bounty!
Which has no other similarity!
Quick! Collect your gifts and accept the hand of Moula Hussein!
He will guide you ALL to felicity again and again!
Ya Hussein! Ya Hussein! Ya Hussein!
