NohaShahadat Abbas

Ab Tak Hai Zubano Pe Alamdar-Alamdar Abbas Alamdar Abbas Alamdar

Even now, the name 'Alamdar' (Standard-bearer) is on every tongue, Abbas the Standard-bearer, Abbas the Standard-bearer.

Aye Shere Jawan Aye Pisre Haidar-E-Qarrar Abbas Alamdar Abbas Alamdar

O youthful lion, O son of Haidar-e-Qarrar (Ali, the Striking Lion), Abbas the Standard-bearer, Abbas the Standard-bearer.

Bin Hato'n Ke Kis Tarha Tu Ghode Se Gira Tha Ye Chashme Tasaur Se Bhi Socha Nahi Jata Aye Bazu Burida Mere Sardar Alamdar

How did you fall from your horse without your hands? This cannot even be imagined by the eyes of contemplation, O severed-armed one, my leader, O Standard-bearer.

Ek Aankh Me Pewast Raha Tire Sitamgar Afsoos Ke Us Waqt Magar The Na Mayassar Jis Waqt Tujhe Haath The Darkaar Alamdar

The oppressor's arrow remained embedded in your eye, Alas, that at that very moment, there were no hands available, At the time when you needed them, O Standard-bearer.

Shabbir Tadapte Rahe Furqat Me Tumhari Rote Huye Har Bar Tumhe Shah Ne Sada Di Khanjar Ka Hua Jitni Dafa Waar Alamdar

Shabbir (Hussain) kept writhing in the pain of your separation, Weeping, the King (Hussain) called out to you every time, Whenever the dagger struck, O Standard-bearer.

Mara Hai Tere Bad Use Aise Shaki Ne Zalim Ki Anguthi Ke Nisha Rah Gaye Muh Pe Dekho Zara Masooma Ke Rukhsar Alamdar

After you, the wretched one struck her in such a way, That the marks of the tyrant's ring remained on her face, Just look at the cheek of the innocent one, O Standard-bearer.

Jab Chhane Laga Shame Ghariba'n Ka Andhera Wo Aagai Pahre Pe Liye Hato'n Me Naiza Zainab Ne Nibhaya Tera Qirdaar Alamdar

When the darkness of the evening of the strangers (Sham-e-Ghariban) began to spread, She (Zainab) came to stand guard, holding a spear in her hands, Zainab fulfilled your role, O Standard-bearer.

Dekhengi Nigahe Tere Kis Tarha Wo Manzar Ek Pal Ko Bhi Thaherega Na Naize Pe Tera Sar Jab Jaegi Zainab Bhare Bazar Alamdar

How will your eyes bear to see that scene? Your head will not even stay on the spear for a moment, When Zainab goes through the crowded bazaar, O Standard-bearer.

Zainab Ke Bhi To Haath Pase Pusht Badhe The Bin Hatho'n Ke Ghode Se Gira Jaise Tu Waise Naqe Se Giri Zainabe Lachar Alamdar

Zainab's hands were also tied behind her back, Just as you fell from the horse without hands, So too did the helpless Zainab fall from the camel, O Standard-bearer.

Hai Bas Ye Dua Sare Azadaro'n Ke Lab Par Denge Tujhe Sab Matmi Pursa Waha Aakar Karbal Ka Bana Do Hame Zawwar Alamdar

This is the only prayer on the lips of all the mourners, All the mourners will come there to offer you condolences, Make us pilgrims (Zawwar) of Karbala, O Standard-bearer.

Ab Mujtabah Dur Nahi Waqt Wo Zyada Jab Khooney Hussaini Ka Liya Jaega Badla Aur Aap Ko Di Jaegi Talwaar Alamdar Ay Lashkar-E-Shabbir Ke Saalar Alamdar Abbas Alamdar Abbas Alamdar

Now, Mujtabah, that time is not far away, When the blood of Hussain will be avenged, And you will be given the sword, O Standard-bearer, O Commander of the army of Shabbir, O Standard-bearer, Abbas the Standard-bearer, Abbas the Standard-bearer.
