My Son O’ Jassim

What life lies after you… My son O’ Jassim
You take my soul with you… My son O’ Jassim

* * *

What heart sits in my chest,
After my side you’ve left?
After death you had met?
With tears my eyes are wet

My grief searches for you… My son O’ Jassim
In pain it calls for you… My son O’ Jassim

* * *

What life in my body?
Beside your memory
Day and night haunting me
O’ what a tragedy

O’ essence of my soul… My son O’ Jassim
Sorrow swallows me whole… My son O’ Jassim

* * *

Your smile was my dawn
With your birth my heart born
With your tears I would mourn
By arrows we’ve been torn

O’ sunlight of my days… My son O’ Jassim
O’ beauty of my ways… My son O’ Jassim

* * *

Your light lovers it guides
Who would turn off this light?
Jassim you left my side
In darkness I reside

You’re a beacon of truth… My son O’ Jassim
A guidance for all youth… My son O’ Jassim

* * *

With you withheld were fears
With you were my true years
Your love flows in my tears
A mother’s son so dear

A son his mother’s road… My son O’ Jassim
Without you where’s my road? … My son O’ Jassim

* * *

O’ shadow of Hassan
O’ child you led men
I lose my heart again
It only you can mend

Your absence is my death… My son O’ Jassim
Sorrow’s voice in my breath… My son O’ Jassim

* * *

To your princess you wed
Tears of joy I would shed
Not crying on your head
Struck by the swords and bled

Your death or your wedding? … My son O’ Jassim
Your bride for you waiting… My son O’ Jassim

* * *

Your bride awaits her prince
With you left all patience
We have not smiled since
Your bride at a distance

Who will take this bride home? … My son O’ Jassim
Of her what shall become? … My son O’ Jassim
