LEGODIMO TLHALOSA MAIKUTLO A ME

Mafoko otlhe a a builweng a palletswe ke go pateletsa letsatsi go tlhaba go tswa

bokone

Le go tlisa bosigo motshegare ka se sethoboloko

Rotlhe re a itse gore ka gale bosigo bo tlhotse bo le thari

Ke ka ntlha eo bosigo re ne re tshwanetse go ikhutsa

Feela moso morago ga bosigo ba mabaane o reteletswe go re fa tshimologo e

ntsha

Ka gonne bosigo bo e ne e se bosigo jo bo tlwaelegileng

Ka jaalo moso o ne o lapile

Mme le rona re lapile

Feela re ipaakantse go sireletsa

Legodimo tlhalosa maikutlo a me

Bua ka nna jaaka monna yo o pelobotlhoko

Tlhalosa dikakanyo tsa me

Bua ka nna jaaka mokapelo wa boammaruri

Tlhalosa boemo jwa mowa wa me

Bua ka nna jaaka mokapelo wa Hussein

Morati wa losika lwa Moporofeta

Motlhabani yo o boikanyo

Mongwe wa ba ba lelelang Hussein

Boeletsa mafoko a me

O bue ka nna jaaka mokapelo wa Hussein

Monna yo o lelelang Hussein

Monna yo o leletseng Hussein fa Fatima a ne a se yo

Bua ka nna jaaaka monna yo o neng a lela le magodimo

Legodimo tlhalosa mowa wa me

Bua ka nna jaaaka monna yo o ka se lebaleng lenyora la letsatsi lele

Jaaka motshegetsi wa Hussein

Jaaaka mokapelo mogolo wa Hussein

Legodimo tlhalosa dikakanyo tsa me

Bua ka nna jaaka monna yo o boneng hempe ya Hussein e tletseng madi

Bua ka nna jaaka monna yo o boneng mmele wa mokapelo wa gagwe yo o se

nang tlhogo

Shimr a sotla losika lo lo boitshepo

Matshwao a botlhoko jo bo gamolang pelo mo barwading ba ga Hussein

Bua ka nna jaaka monna yo o boneng diatla tse pedi tsa ga Abbas

Jaaka monna yo o boneng lerumo le nyorolola lenyora la lesea

Bua ka nna jaaka monna yo o boneng mokapelo wa gagawe a tswa madi go

fitlhela a swa

Lengeloi le tlisitse dikhaffan tse tlhano

Ghadija, Rasulullah, Ali, Fatima le Hassan (as) ba bone tsa bone

E kae ya mokapelo wa me, e kae ya morwa Ali (as), e kae ya ga Hussein (as)

HEAVEN DEFINE MY EMOTIONS

All the words said could not convince the sun to rise from the north

Nor bring the night in the middle of the day

We all know the night had always been late

That is why we had to rest at night

But the morning after last night could not give us a fresh start

Because the night was not an ordinary night

Therefore the night was exhausted

We were still tired

Yet ready to defend

Heaven define my emotions

Speak of me as a man with a broken heart

Define my thoughts

Speak of me as a friend of the truth

Define the state of my soul and

Speak of me as devotee of Hussein

A lover of the Ahlul Bayt

A true soldier of Islam

Count me among those who cry for Hussein

Reiterate my words

And speak of me as a lover of Hussein

A man who cries for Hussein

A man who cried for Hussein when Fatimah was not around

Speak of me as man who cried with the heavens

Heaven define my soul and

Speak of me as a man who will never forget that thirst

A man who stands with Hussein

A great lover of Hussein

Heaven define my thoughts

Speak of me as a man who saw the blood stained shirt of Hussein

Speak of me as a man who saw a headless body of his beloved

Shimr mocking the holy household

Agony marks on the daughters of Hussein

Speak of me as a man who saw the two hands of Abbas

As a man who saw a throat quenching the thirst of an infant

Speak of me as a man who saw his beloved bleeding to death

The angel brought five khaffans

Ghadija, Rasulullah, Ali, Fatimah and Hassan all had their khaffan’s

Where is the khaffan of my beloved Aba Abdillah, where is the khaffan of the son

of Ali (as), where is the khaffan of Hussein
