With His Final Breath

Every believer, every lover of Ali at death
Is met by Ali, and his family with his last breath
His family for him cry… he sees Ali in his eye… with his final breath

* * *

Each lover and follower, if in Ali he believed
Is met by Ali, when his final breath this lover breathed
If the world tried to deceive him, but the world he deceived
Death is but another path for him and by death he’s freed
If he served Ali and for Ali’s tragedy he grieved
Visits him Ali and his family when he’s buried

His eye it closes and approaches before him a light
His life was Ali, therefore Ali eases his own plight
Ali he didn’t deny… he sees Ali in his eye… with his final breath

* * *

Be young or old, if from Ali he listened and he learned
Then seeing Ali, with his final breath this lover earned
Ali appears in the eye that for Ali’s sight had yearend
When death you welcomed, your life you left, and to me you turned
Don’t worry O’ child of those who upon you have mourned
Concerned me your tears, now with your smiles, I am concerned

You believed in me, when all left me and I was alone
Now you are alone, to you I come, your deeds to me shown
Do not worry how and why… he sees Ali in his eye… with his final breath

* * *

O’ child I know of your sorrow and of all your pain
Death isn’t easy, but tragedy with you won’t remain
If you died with my love, then in my eyes, you were slain
Welcomes you all those that for me martyrdom would attain
I’ll shield you from all the tears that upon your grave rain
And for your service, I’ve brought with me Hassan and Hussain

Hassan he smiles, Hussain welcomes you with open arms
We welcome you and we place your palms into our own palms
For every tear, every sigh… he sees Ali in his eye… with his final breath

* * *

I have been gifted as the divide for heaven and hell
O’ my follower, never does my lover in hell dwell
The fires of hell, if they call you, my Lord I shall tell
And of your service, at Heaven’s gate, I’ll quote and retell
Get up O’ child, your family, bid them all farewell
Awaits you Heaven, and I’ll ensure Heaven’s scent you smell

Your sins forgiven, I have written your name with my own
Heaven awaits you, from me the angels your name have known
Your family bid goodbye… he sees Ali in his eye… with his final breath

* * *

They pulled your soul from your body and toward you I came
The pangs of death that all others fear, sweet for you became
I was waiting and Fatima mentioned to me your name
I am his mother, as you done for me, do him the same
O’ child I buried her, and my wails none would tame
She saw me crying, but when she died toward her I came

When I left her grave, for me she’d crave, and then her eyes saw
When left had Ali, come had Ali, and she watched in awe
Just as when, there she would lie… he sees Ali in his eye… with his final breath

* * *

O’ child take it from me, I know death isn’t easy
But when I approach to my lover, easy it shall be
Even when I died, and all had cried for my tragedy
I opened my eyes and I saw that welcomed me had me
When I was lowered into my grave, Ali they’d bury
Ali had died, but I saw that welcomed me had Ali

I’m the supporter of my lover, even if it’s me
Ali was my pride, therefore my Lord sent to me Ali
The pangs of death he’d untie… he sees Ali in his eye… with his final breath
