On the pieces of Qasim they cried For no one could bear that he'd died Least of all Husayn, Least of all Husayn O lovers of Hasan come near, as I narrate to you his dear He was left to defend the Imam, and to protect the deen of Islam So Qasim approaches Husayn, in a moment of tremendous pain The Rose of Hasan asked to fight, but how can Husayn risk his light On the pieces of Qasim they cried For no one could bear that he'd died Least of all Husayn, Least of all Husayn He was of his brother a trust, Husayn could not see him in dust O Qasim, my son: take a breath, I ask you: "how do you view death?" His answer we must always keep; his answer caused angels to weep "You know Uncle I love honey. But death is sweeter than honey" On the pieces of Qasim they cried For no one could bear that he'd died Least of all Husayn, Least of all Husayn Said Mawla O Qasim, my pride, for women you must stay behind So Qasim goes back to his camp; his face full of tears, and so damp His mother said: 'Why do you cry?'; He said for Husayn 'I can't die' Umm Farwa pulled out a letter; hoping that this would make things better When Mawla saw who it was from, his entire body went numb He had to let Qasim go fight; the young nephew's face became bright Husayn gave him turban and cloak; seeing him Lady Zaynab broke To aunties and mother farewell, as Qasim comes out of his shell On the pieces of Qasim they cried For no one could bear that he'd died Least of all Husayn, Least of all Husayn The Lion of Hasan so brave; he sent 35 to the grave Then Qasim - his armor so large, saw cowardly enemies charge They struck Qasim from every side; O Uncle help me, Qasim cried They ripped his young body apart; and struck right at his uncle's heart O Qasim your call is still loud; we always want to make you proud On the pieces of Qasim they cried For no one could bear that he'd died Least of all Husayn, Least of all Husayn
