Live Like Ali Die Like Husayn O Come let us learn how to live like Ali, to live like Ali, and to die like Husayn To live as a servant of Allah alone, to struggle for justice until you are slain The gate of the city of knowledge Ali, he learnt from Mohammad n showed how to be He died protecting that knowledge Husayn, so teachings of Prophets would not go in vain O Come let us learn how to live like Ali, to live like Ali, and to die like Husayn When no one would answer the call of nabi, the people would witness the sword of Ali And now like a mountain before tyranny, standing alone is the fearless Husayn O Come let us learn how to live like Ali, to live like Ali, and to die like Husayn He gave his zakat in rukoo of salah, for such is the bounty of mushkil kusha And quenching the thirst of the army of Hur, are sons of Ali and the sons of Husayn O Come let us learn how to live like Ali, to live like Ali, and to die like Husayn So patiently waited the chosen wasi, To keep it united the community With 72 sacrifices and more, O what can we say of the sabr of Husayn O Come let us learn how to live like Ali, to live like Ali, and to die like Husayn We can never be like Husayn o Ali, so this Ya Ilahi is then our plea Grant us the footsteps of Qanbar, Kumayl, of Ibn-e-Muzahir and Jawn of Husayn O Come let us learn how to live like Ali, to live like Ali, and to die like Husayn
