Father, Where are you?

By: Sister Fiddha

I sit and watch you
In my dreams
I miss you
Oh hussain
My father
Where are you?

I sit and cry in the prison father
As the heat of the sun,
Burns my skin
Oh hussain
My father
Where are you?

My mother rocks her arms back and forth
Singing a lullaby to asghar
But he died
Oh Hussain
My father
Where are you?

My brother Sajjad
Prays all day
He is so weak
Oh Hussain
My father
Where are you?

My aunty Zainab
Holds me tight
She is so ashamed
Oh Hussain
My father
Where are you?

Oh I am so alone
So frightened and hurt inside
I wish to be, by your side
Oh Hussain
My father
Where are you?
