The lyrics titled ‘Friend of the Moon’:
You’re still standing like mountain in our heart and land
You’ve been and still are chieftain of hearts
However grounded, I’m hopeful to you O’ sky
I’m left behind, slow down O’ caravaneer
Your cut hand is dedicated to water-bearer (Hazrat Abbas)
Martyrdom certificate of lovers will be issued tonight
Your pain’s treatment is Karbala, your heart calls O’ Hussein (AS)
Your hand is finally cut, dedicated to blood of God, Hussein (AS)
You’re serenity of restless hearts and commander of bravery field
You’re happy friend of the moon and martyr before martyrdom
You’re successor of God’s lion (Imam Ali (AS))
Your companions’ hearts are bravery field
You won God-seeking hearts, your soldiers form troop of love
Your signet ring ends darkness and fires Satan’s nest
With you and your ring of bravery, homeland turned into Solomon’s Kingdom
Your blood leads to uproar, it awakens spirit of Hussein (AS)
You’ll return the day that the savior will return
The savior will dispatch a troop from Karbala to Quds
The troop gets full of God, it awakens spirit of Hussein (AS)
Name of Hussein (AS) treats pain, it awakens spirit of Hussein (AS)
