Euphrates' Regrets! ! !
My wandering waves are weeping still
On those who died for God's Will…
I still recall some children's cries
Which shook and shattered the seven skies
These cries echo even till today
And remind me of that gloomy day
When Hussain was ready for great sacrifice
He called His martyrs in heart-rending voice
I witnessed the scene when He demanded water
I regret I could not provide Him water
I was in shackles, I was imprisoned
My waves, my shores were all imprisoned
It's no use crying now He has gone
With friends and kinsmen, sad and forlorn
I feel I can't face His Grand Father
'cause while dying He was in want of water
His brother is my lord so brave
Whose flag is hoisted on my wave
Oft I recall those cries that burst
My ears with feeble shouts of 'thirst'
My days are destined but to cry
On slaked tongues and throats dry
I can't excuse myself my God
I still regret my Lord, my God!
