Noha Lyrics:
Oh Fatemah, I am so alone
Without you around, this house is no longer a home
1.
How will I forget, the things that I saw
Your ribs that were crushed, the nail and the door
Your tormented cries, the blood on the floor
Mohsin our son, whose life is no more
Oh fatemah, it broke me to see
Though you were in pain, you crawled trying to save Ali
Oh Fatemah, I am so alone
Without you around, this house is no longer a home
2.
This grief in my heart cannot be contained But how can I cry in front of Hussain
I wonder the streets without any aim
To find anyone, who can share my pain
Oh Fatemah, my heart sobs for you
I cry by myself, in alleys that are destitute
Oh Fatemah, I am so alone
Without you around, this house is no longer a home
3.
My deep loneliness is now breaking me How can I escape this cycle of grief
These tears are flowing just like the sea My love come and see, the state of Ali
Oh Fatemah, I can’t see the day
The light of my eyes, and life from me was snatched away
Oh Fatemah, I am so alone
Without you around, this house is no longer a home
4.
They tell me Ali, we thought you were strong You lifted the gates of Khayber alone
So why is it that you cry on and on
You know better than, us that she is gone
Oh Fatemah, if only they knew
The bruises and scars, I saw when I was washing you
Oh Fatemah, I am so alone
Without you around, this house is no longer a home
5.
The children are searching just for your scent How can I explain your absence to them
There aren’t any words to stop their lament You were for them all, a mother and friend
Oh Fatemah, they will cry aloud
When they look at you, Laying motionless in a shroud
Oh Fatemah, I am so alone
Without you around, this house is no longer a home
6.
You know that a day, will come on Hussain He will be alone, upon burning plains
A shower of stones and arrows will rain
With 12 blunted strikes, his neck will be slain Oh Fatemah, they will trample him
His chest will be torn, and he’ll bleed from his every limb
Oh Fatemah, I am so alone
Without you around, this house is no longer a home
8.
You knew all my secrets and all my woes
You stayed with me through my highs and my lows You wiped all my tears and helped me to cope
In each of my trials, you filled me with hope
Oh Fatemah, the most perfect wife
I will mourn you for, the rest of the days I’m alive
Oh Fatemah, I am so alone
Without you around, this house is no longer a home
9.
With my very hands I lay you to sleep I know that you told me never to weep But I can’t control the way that I feel Your death is a scar, that will never heal Oh Fatemah, oh rose of Allah
Your fragrance will stay, forever in this broken heart
