Let’s watch music video on Imam Reza (AS)

Here is a grabbing music video themed on the love of pilgrims for the eighth Shia Imam.

The song ‘Sovereign of Khorasan’ performed by Tajik vocalist is one of the most memorable pieces ever made for praising Imam Reza whose shrine is located in Iranian holy city of Mashhad.

Below are the translated lyrics of the song in English:

My imprisoned inhalation became reviving exhalation.

I came to you as an imprisoned sigh in the chest.

Who am I, reminiscent of prophet Joseph’s garment or his shroud?

I’m prophet Joseph’s scent emanating from the depths of the well.  

O my sovereign, you’re my sanctuary.

O my sovereign, I’m tired of this long journey.

I’m so shameful when you cast a look upon me,

I’m drowning in my sins.

O my sovereign, you’re my sanctuary.

O my sovereign, I’m tired of this long journey.

I’m so shameful when you cast a look upon me,

I’m drown in my sins.

I went through a hard journey to your shrine,

You’re the glory of Khorasan.

Behold the sovereign of Khorasan.

You’re my sanctuary.

You’re the sovereign of Khorasan.

You’re the hero of the heroes.

Don’t deny my request.

I am in your presence.

O my sovereign, you’re my sanctuary.

O my sovereign, I’m tired of this long journey.

I’m so shameful when you cast a look upon me,

I’m drowning in my sins.

You’re the healer of all healers,

Where is your healing window?

I came to seek an array of your compassion.

O my beloved, I revere you.

O my prosperous fortune, I’m shameful of my bad deeds.

Don’t deny my request,

I am in your presence.

O my sovereign, you’re my sanctuary.

O my sovereign, I’m tired of this long journey.

I’m so shameful when you cast a look upon me,

I’m drowning in my sins

O my sovereign, you’re my sanctuary.

O my sovereign, I’m tired of this long journey.

I’m so shameful when you cast a look upon me,

I’m drowning in my sins
