If my legs fail me… I’ll throw them away…
Nothing will stop me from reaching Hussain walking
I want the world to see… the flag I carry…
Nothing will stop me from reaching Hussain walking
* * *
Against the Earth’s turn… millions return… and return walking… to their beloved
A revolution… against oppression… what an uprising… they have created
Returning to him… the road salutes them… the skies envy them… by angels guarded
The flags that flutter… touch the hereafter… and by the Lord’s throne… each of them greeted
Beneath their feet hell shakes… the dead in envy ache…
Nothing will stop me from reaching Hussain walking
Their lives are all stake… all for their beloved’s sake…
Nothing will stop me from reaching Hussain walking
* * *
What an uprising… with the sun’s rising… Hussain calls for help… millions reply
With them the sun sets… the moon by them rests… the tents on the route… like stars in the sky
The widowed women… hold orphaned children… “children, if we die… don’t let Hussain die”
Oppression topples… walks with them, angels… the death of Hussain… millions defy
For something that’s priceless… all else is valueless…
Nothing will stop me from reaching Hussain walking
Every soul is selfless… against danger, heedless…
Nothing will stop me from reaching Hussain walking
* * *
Leave everything… don’t bring anything… leave and start walking… Heaven is calling
The Day of Judgement… watches this moment… it descends on Earth… and it starts walking
Don’t bring your worries… your calamities… just hold up a flag… the world is watching
If you have a wish… carry your anguish… Hussain is watching… Abbas is listening
Leave everything behind… the road to Hussain find…
Nothing will stop me from reaching Hussain walking
Make sure your will is signed… leave a mark on mankind…
Nothing will stop me from reaching Hussain walking
* * *
I see the world shakes… when a man’s heart aches… he stands there begging… “please let me serve you
Do not walk by me… come rest beside me… you visit Hussain… I know your value!”
Millions become… a flag of freedom… and with their walking… redefine virtue
Heaven it descends… the road with them bends… the blessings with them… if only they knew
So why are you waiting? When Heaven’s awaiting…
Nothing will stop me from reaching Hussain walking
Get up and start walking… every soul is going…
Nothing will stop me from reaching Hussain walking
