Arabic Lyrics:
يا بن الحسن روحي فداك متى ترانا ونراك
يا بن الحسن روحي فداك متى ترانا ونراك
يا مهدينا طال البعد فمتى يبدو القمر
تعبت كل عيون الدنيا من آلام السهر
في كل فؤاد نبضته تدعو للمنتظر
وقلب مولاي دعاك…متى ترانا ونراك
يا بن الحسن روحي فداك متى ترانا ونراك
من لدنيا غير إمام فيه يسود الهدى
عجل عجل يامهدينا نرفع هذا الندا
فسواد الليل أبا صالح في الصبح لنابدا
وارفع به صوت نداك#…متى ترانا ونراك
يا بن الحسن روحي فداك متى ترانا ونراك
يا موعوداًفيه العدل يسود كل الامم
يابن الهادي ويامن تحوي الخير وكل القيم
أسرج خيلك وامض سريعاً وارفع ذاك العلم
اظهر لنا نور لواك… متى ترانا ونراك
يا بن الحسن روحي فداك متى ترانا ونراك
قم وانشر رايات العدل وأكشف ليل الدجى
وارفع دين الهادي أحمد في الدنيا منهجا
وانصر كف لك قد رفعت يامهدي رالرجى
متى ترا العين سناك…متى ترانا ونراك
يا بن الحسن روحي فداك متى ترانا ونراك
يا آخر نور من أنوار في الكون بدا
كل الارواح أبا صالح لظهورك أنشدت
ولرؤيت طلعتك الدنيا أشتاقت وتوحدت
أما ترى جور عداك…متى ترانا ونراك
يا بن الحسن روحي فداك متى ترانا ونراك
English Translation (Poetic)
Oh Son Of Hasan(AJ), my soul be your Ransom,
When we You see us and we see you?
Oh Son Of Hasan(AJ), my soul be your Ransom,
When we You see us and we see you?
Oh Son Of Hasan(AJ), my soul be your Ransom,
When we You see us and we see you?
Oh Our Mahdi(AJ), long is the delay for when will we see the moon (like a bright moon lighting up a dark night)?!
All the world’s eyes are exhausted from seeing the pain (of separation from You)!
IN every heart (with every beat) resonates the calls, yearning for the Awaited(AJ)!
And the hearts – Oh our Master(AJ) – call to You, when will You see us, and we see You?
Who else is there for this world, except the Imam(AJ) to ensure it’s guidance?!
Hasten! Hasten! Oh Our Mahdi(AJ)! Let’s all raise this call!
In the darkness of the night, Oh Aba Saleh(AJ), we yearn for the morning!
And raise with it (with the dawn of the new morning), your call of guidance …
… when will You see us, and we see You?!
Oh the Promised One(AJ), who will ensure Justice across every nation (every peoples),
Oh the son of Guidance (al-Hadi)! Oh he who is the bearer of all that is good and the best (and most sublime) of values,
Take your steed, and ride swiftly, and hold high that flag (of the true Islam)!
Reveal for us the light of Your presence, When will You see us and we see You?!
Rise and spread the banners of Justice, and remove the darkness of this (perpetual) night,
And raise the true religion of the Guide Ahmad(S) (Prophet Muhammad(S)) throughout the World!
And help the hands that are raised to You (to Allah through You), Oh Mahdi(AJ) with cries for help!
When will the lovers eyes belong the Beloved?!
When will You see us, and we see You?!
Oh the final Light from the Lights at the origin of the Universes!
All the souls, Oh Aba Saleh(AJ), sing (and yearn) for your return!
The world is united in longing for Your return (the desire for Your return is universal)!
That we can see an end to the oppression of Tyrants, When will You see us and we see You?!

Who or What is the Martyr?
Posted by The Digital Martyr in Ideology, Politics, Thought on June 18, 2009
In His Name, the Lord of the Martyrs and the Truthful
An Introduction
This is going to be an on going series of short blog posts, coupled with video-blog entries (via YouTube - as well as elsewhere) discussing concepts and ideas that effect humanity; including events that happen in our world to which we are all witnesses.
We will discuss how these events effect those they are perpetrated on directly as well as as rest of humanity as a whole, because as is well known; every action has a consequence; it may not be an obvious consequence but nevertheless there is a consequence.
As inhabitants of this planet, as trustees of God; we have a responsibility to take the affairs of humanity seriously; to ensure that justice is upheld at all times; and to ensure that corruption, anarchy and mischief-mongering doesn’t go unchecked or unanswered.
The martyr is a witness on society; the Arabic word for martyr – Shaheed – literally means one who witnesses; one who watches; and this is the case in all the divine monotheistic idelogies. The martyr through the shedding of his blood; through working to ensure that Truth and Justice prevail; bears witness to the crimes of humanity; and will testify againt the evil perpetrated by humanity; the injustices whereby innocents are massacred, and pockets are filled, where the rights of people are usurped, and where the guilty are rewarded and classed as “peacemakers”.
Our symbol is that of a great martyr; one who worked selflessly throughout his entire life; until the day he was murdered and attained the lofty position of being a witness against the crimes of humanity by one of the most dangerous and tyrannical entities this world has ever known. But more on this in a later post.
The martyr is both a person and a state of mind; which is why our motto is “The Way of the Digital Martyr, Spreading Light in a Time of Abject Darkness”. The martyr serves two main purposes; we’ve already mentioned the first – as a witness on humanity; the second which is equally important; is that martyr though his self-less actions; sheds light on this tyranny; sheds light on the injustices; and makes the rest of humanity aware of the perils that lie ahead; this is why say that the martyr spreads light in a time of abject darkness.
While in today’s world; humanity claims to live in a very “enlightened” state; the reality is quite the opposite; we have an overload of information; we have an overload of mis-information; we have an overload of dis-information; all are designed to pull humanity in one way or another; to serve one agenda or another. We however; don’t believe that humanity can ever attain perfection through just the persuit of information; rather; humanity has a fundamental requirement to attain wisdom; which is the verification and subsequent application of information; through the lense of that which is the absolute perfection.
Moving on; whats the deal with this “Digital Martyr”? Why “Digital”; why not just Martyr? Well the answer is simple; we live in a digital age; we are surrounded by digital information; by technologies such as Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Windows Live, Bing, etc, etc, etc; we have clouds of information in cyberspace; and with all this “information”; there is a huge plethora – infact possibly the bulk of the information is noise and dis/mis-information. The Digital Martyr will strive to look at the digital world; which comprises:
- Television broadcasts
- Cinema films
- Radio broadcasts
- Internet broadcasts
- Other blogs and video-blogs
and attempt to sort the wheat from the chaff. The Digital Martyr will attempt to provide sanity amidst the insanity.
Finally, why now? Why create this blog and video blog now? For what purpose? Well we’ll tell you. We’ve noticed that the June 2008 Elections in the Islamic Republic of Iran have created such a burst of dis-information; with a plethora of western “news” outlets spewing the most appalling lies and mis-information; repeating the same footage and claiming it’s something different; and we see that there is a campaign that is directly aimed at the heart of Revolutionary Islamic Thought; we saw this; and we realise the danger that this poses – not just to Islam and Revolutionary Islam; but rather to all the monotheistic faiths; and to all those who are striving for justice and truth; and have yet to find their path to God.
We’ve seen lies that have made our blood boil; we’ve seen manufactured images that have broken our hearts; and we have a burning love for all humanity; as lovers of God; we are helpless that we must also love that which God has created; we can no longer stand by and watch those we love be lied to, be manipulated, be heart-broken, be confused and be led away from truth (while believing that it is the truth). We feel obliged and responsible in the eyes of God; who is a witness unto humanity; and we are compelled to give people the reality of the situation.
We promise; before God (call Him Allah, YHWH, G-d, whatever), that we will always speak the Truth; no matter the price that has to be paid; we will never lead people away from the Truth, and we promise before God, that we will always uphold Justice. Some people may not like what we say; some people may hate us, some people may think we’re deluded, some people may even like and agree with what we say; some people – and this is where we’re talking to the true seekers of truth amongst you - our readers, subscribers and viewers – some people we hope that we will touch their hearts; and will bring them towards that ultimate goal of perfection …
The Way of the Digital Martyr has been opened; we invite everyone to get involved; we invite everyone to comment and debate with us; we invite all to the Ultimate Truth …
Come; let us attain perfection together …
Our first video will be added within the next few days; so stay posted; update your bookmarks; subscribe and tell others.
The first revolution is that which changes you from a collection of cells, into that sublime creation of the Almighty, the human being … after that everything is possible; like an infant child; we must first crawl; before we can walk …
Warm Regards,
The Digital Martyr
