If you visit… I welcome you
And shall visit… each one of you
I will welcome those who visit, I will welcome
To you I’ll come when your buried, to you I’ll come
If you visit

I was raised in a house of giving and service
My visitors should feel at home, I know this
I smile when I see my grave receives a kiss
And I’ll make sure that when he leaves, Hussain he’ll miss
If visited… it’s my duty
I’ve awaited… those who know me
They’ve come and gone, and I serve them, they’ve come and gone
To you I’ll come when your buried, to you I’ll come
If you visit
* * *
If a stranger comes to me, know I befriend them
If an orphan comes to me, know I father him
When someone comes to mourn me, I sing him a hymn
I brighten the hopes of he whose future seems dim
I’m a beacon… for the restless
For me they yearn… their lives I bless
The old and young, I assist them, the old and young
To you I’ll come when your buried, to you I’ll come
If you visit
* * *
When you visit me, your life to me you’ve given
I care not for your sins for they are forgiven
You’ve risked death because you saw my shrine as Heaven
I adore you all who by my love are driven
If you love me… me you adore
Understand me… I love you more
Just as you’ve done I’ll give you all, just as you’ve done
To you I’ll come when your buried, to you I’ll come
If you visit
* * *
Come and visit me if this world has made you weak
Come and visit me if your desires you seek
I know what’s in your heart but what to hear you speak
When you request from me, let tears flow down your cheek
I want to see… you in despair
So you love me… when I answer
What’s on your tongue, I shall grant you, what’s on your tongue
To you I’ll come when your buried, to you I’ll come
If you visit
* * *
If you tire of me, than visit my brother
He jumps when he hears coming is Hussain’s lover
I promise all your requests he shall look after
Visit him once for me, it’d be an honour
Abbas and I… servants truly
We’ll bid goodbye… a safe journey
Do not be long with your return, do not be long
To you I’ll come when your buried, to you I’ll come
If you visit
* * *
As you request from me, I have but a request
And I always remind each visitor and guest
If you want to visit me, remember this first
I came to quench your thirst when I was killed in thirst
And remember… when you come here
In Karbala… I was killed here
If you are one, that remembers, if you are one
To you I’ll come when your buried, to you I’ll come
If you visit
* * *
