Kehti Hai Wafadari Virsa Hai Alamdari

Loyalty declares that bearing the standard is an inheritance.

Bedast Hai Phir Bhi Hai Alamdar Alamdar Hai Abbas Alamdar Abbas Alamdar Saqi Abbas Alamdar Abbas Alamdar

Though armless, he is still the Standard-Bearer, the Standard-Bearer. He is Abbas, the Standard-Bearer, Abbas, the Standard-Bearer. O Cup-bearer, Abbas, the Standard-Bearer, Abbas, the Standard-Bearer.

Saqqa E Sakina Hai Mashkeeza Batata Hai Bhatke Huwe Logon Ko Manzil Se Milata Hai Matam Ke Julooson May Aage Nazar Aata Hai Hai Tera Alam Khaafila Salaar Alamdar

He is the water-bearer of Sakina, the water-skin tells his story. He guides the lost souls to their destination. He is seen at the forefront of the mourning processions. Your standard is the leader of the caravan, O Standard-Bearer.

Abbas Ye Tujhse Hai Izhare Wafadari Pani Ki Sabeelein Ye Majlis Ye Azadari Tere Kate Shano Ka Sadqa Hai Mere Ghazi Naukar Hai Tere Saare Azadar Alamdar

Abbas, this is an expression of loyalty to you. These water stalls, these gatherings, this mourning. It is the charity of your severed shoulders, my Ghazi (warrior). All the mourners are your servants, O Standard-Bearer.

Ye Kaisi Qayamat Hai Aulade Payambar Par Be-Gor O Kafan Laashe Seydaniya Be-Chadar Har Bibi Ye Kehti Hai Dekho To Zara Aa Kar Jaate Hai Haram Shaam Ke Bazaar Alamdar

What kind of calamity has befallen the Prophet's progeny? Bodies without graves or shrouds, the noble ladies without veils. Every lady says, 'Come and see for yourself,' 'The harem is being taken to the bazaars of Sham, O Standard-Bearer.'

Abbas Ka Girna Tha Jalti Hui Reti Par Sarwar Ki Kamar Tooti Zainab Ki Giri Chadar Laashe Pe Nabi Zaadi Deti Thi Sada Ro Kar Maara Gaya Pyason Ka Madadgaar Alamdar

The moment Abbas fell upon the burning sands, Sarwar's (Hussain's) back was broken, and Zainab's veil fell. The Prophet's daughter cried out over the body, 'The helper of the thirsty has been killed, O Standard-Bearer.'

Yawar Ye Hakeekat Hai Masoom Batate Hai Maula Ki Ziyarat Ko Jo Khaafile Aate Hai Jab Karbobala Ke Wo Nazdeek Pahunchte Hai Lene Ke Liye Aate Hai Har Baar Alamdar

Yawar, this is the truth that the innocent ones tell. When the caravans come for the pilgrimage of the Master, When they reach near Karbala, You come to receive them every time, O Standard-Bearer.
