Oh Sajjad By: Tejani Brothers
Oh Sajjad, Oh Sajjad!
Oh My Imam Zainul Abideen (2x)
Oh Sajjad!
You taught us the art of supplication
You showed us the power of prostration
to make islam our lives foundation,
and how to ask Allah for salvation
such is your status oh holy soul
you made Allah’s love your only goal, Oh my Imam!
Oh my Imam Zainul Abideen (2x)
O Sajjad!
You are the great grandson of Muhammad Inside your veins flows the purest of blood
You came down from heaven like a rose bud
And left your scent forever in this world
Your name will live on forever now
Till death you’ll be in our hearts we vow, Oh my Imam!
Oh my Imam Zainul Abideen (2x)
O Sajjad!
You were imprisoned your feet were in chains
And on the chains splattered were your blood stains Inside your heart were the scars of those pains
Of what you saw that day on the hot plains
Oh you were patient personified
You thanked Allah though your hands were tied, Oh my Imam!
Oh my Imam Zainul Abideen (2x)
O Sajjad!
You saw your fathers head on that spear Your mother’s bare headed and in fear Your sister was treated so severe that blood was pouring down from her ear
And yet you were so brave that you spoke
And in that courtyard the world awoke, Oh my Imam!
Oh my Imam Zainul Abideen (2x)
O Sajjad!
With quaking hands how you dug a small grave A resting place for sakina to lay
Her shroud was her shirt covered in blood stains ‘Til end of time that is how she will stay
Until today she’s so far from home
The prison’s so dark and she’s alone, Oh my Imam!
Oh my Imam Zainul Abideen (2x)
O Sajjad!
For forty long years you kept on weeping
‘Cause in your mind, Shaam kept on repeating
The lashes you got and all the beating
For all these feelings there is no healing
Those memories always will be raw
Of what you heard, felt, and what you saw, Oh my Imam!
Oh my Imam Zainul Abideen (2x)
O Sajjad!
Upon your deathbed you cried out and said, Remembering karbala your heart bled
Your seventy two loved ones were all dead
Hussain your father now lay beheaded
And then the tents were burnt to the ground
Your feet were tied and your hands were bound, Oh my Imam!
Oh my Imam Zainul Abideen (2x)
O Sajjad!
You are my guidance my inspiration
To emulate you is my intention
In every moment in every second
Your love will flow in me like an ocean
You are the leader of all of man
So please give us all a helping hand, Oh my Imam!
Oh my Imam Zainul Abideen (2x)
O Sajjad!
I wanna follow in your direction
To fight for truth I will face objection
For my beliefs I will face rejection
I need your help I need your protection
To stand against falsehood everyday
And live my life master in your way, Oh my Imam!
Oh my Imam Zainul Abideen (2x)
O Sajjad!
This is the state now today in Bahrain
The true believers are dying in pain
The tyrant rulers are killing for reign
They’re shedding innocent blood without shame Please now return Mehdi our Imam
And salvage our souls from all this harm, Oh my Imam!
Oh my Imam Zainul Abideen (2x)
O Sajjad!
Tejani brothers are praying for this Throughout the world one day there will be bliss When our Imam comes and rules with justice With love and peace we will all coexist
We raise our hands we cry and we say
We pray for this moment everyday, Oh my Imam!
Oh my Imam Zainul Abideen (2x) O My Imam!
