I will come crawling

- Shabbir and Abbas Tejani (2013)


I will come crawling

 

Law qatau arjuluna wal yadain

Natiqa zafan sayyidi ya HussainYa HussainYa Hussain

 

They can cut my arms and my legs

They can take everything that I have

I will come crawling to you Hussain

 

1.     Everyday it cuts me inside

            Im so very far from your side

            I would give away these eyes

            Just to catch a glimpse of your shrine

            If I have to cross the seas

            And every desert in between

            I will come crawling to you Hussain

 

They can cut my arms and my legs

They can take everything that I have

I will come crawling to you Hussain

 

2.     I can tell you that Im insane

            In the love of my master Hussain

            In this universe theres no pain

            That can ever keep me away

            Every inch that I come your way

            Every beat of my heart will say

            I will come crawling to you Hussain

 

They can cut my arms and my legs

They can take everything that I have

I will come crawling to you Hussain

 

3.     If I lose my family and friends

            and my lifes coming to an end

            If I lose my feet and hands

            If I can no longer stand

            If I stumble a thousand times

            If the journeys a thousand miles

            I will come crawling to you Hussain

 

They can cut my arms and my legs

They can take everything that I have

I will come crawling to you Hussain

 

4.     You just have to look at this world

            See your lovers are tortured and hurt

            They can use their tanks and their guns

            We will stand together as one

            They can tear us limb from limb

            But our soul will say from within

            I will come crawling to you Hussain

 

They can cut my arms and my legs

They can take everything that I have

I will come crawling to you Hussain

 

 

5.     They can put a gun to my head

            And can threaten to shoot me dead

            They can wound me till I am red

            They can try to kill me and yet

            With my every remaining breath

            With every ounce of strength I possess

            I will come crawling to you Hussain

 

They can cut my arms and my legs

They can take everything that I have

I will come crawling to you Hussain

 

6.     This is now my state oh Hussain

            I am so overwhelmed with pain

            Who can I turn to and explain

            All the grief that my heart now  contains

            Who can I now call for help

            Pinning all my hopes on yourself

            I will come crawling to you Hussain

 

They can cut my arms and my legs

They can take everything that I have

I will come crawling to you Hussain

 

7.     On the plains of karbala

            When you said with a heart so scarred

            Hal min nasirin yansurna

            Who can help me in times so hard

            Falling from the cot to the floor

            Ali Asghar gave this call

            I will come crawling to you Hussain

 

They can cut my arms and my legs

They can take everything that I have

I will come crawling to you Hussain

 

8.     They say when you breathe your last

            You recall your entire past

            When my life flashes past so fast

            I pray that in my final gasp

            Death will be the sweetest taste

            When I see your radiant face

            I will come crawling to you Hussain

 

They can cut my arms and my legs

They can take everything that I have

I will come crawling to you Hussain

 

9.     The Tejani Brothers know

            Youve been our guide as weve grown

            You have led us down the road

            Where your blessings are bestowed

            How can we not then proclaim

            Every moment every day

I will come crawling to you Hussain

 

They can cut my arms and my legs

They can take everything that I have

I will come crawling to you Hussain
