"Moon of Muharram" English Noha By: Voices of Passion Artwork by Various Artists A Noha introducing the story of Karbala. Noha Lyrics: Chorus The moon of Muharram, times of sadness have come The crescent has now arrived, casting gloom on Karbala, casting gloom on Karbala 1 Betrayal by the Kufans, set this moon on its course Calling out for their guide, treachery with no remorse Muslim and his sons, what a tragedy Oh what a calamity, the moon bleeds to forsee 2 On the ninth it heard the prayers of those pure souls Fought the rising sun, for perhaps this could be its role Akber's adhaan so clear, this moon filled with fear How will it possibly arise and see the state of those dear? 3 It saw the six month infant, no water but an arrow That night it shone its light on, Rabaab filled with such sorrow To see my Asghar I crave, I hear nothing but his cries Oh sun please do not arise, and with this mother sympathise 4 Witnessed it the trampling on Shaame Gharibaa Saw that night the terror, bodies scattered afar Tents looted and on fire, earrings snatched from Rukayya This moon also in such pains, this household bound in chains 5 From this month my bibi, had to wander veilless Zahra's grave is restless, for her daughter, princess The cloak of purity, for this mother so holy The beloved of Fatema paraded in the bazaar
