Shabbir Se Pucho Kabhi Zainab Se Khabar Lo (Abbas Ka Maidan Mei Ghore Se Utar Naa) Shabbir Se Pucho Kabhi Zainab Se Khabar Lo

Ask Shabbir, or perhaps seek news from Zainab, (Of the moment Abbas dismounted his horse on the battlefield.) Ask Shabbir, or perhaps seek news from Zainab.

Ghazi Ki Shahadat Se, Saadaat Pe Kya Guzri Maula Ki Qamar Tuti, Zainab Ki Rida Utri

What befell the Prophet's progeny upon the martyrdom of the Ghazi? (The Master's back was broken, and Zainab's veil was snatched away.)

Are Khaimon Mei Yatimon Ke Piyaalon Ka Bikharna

(Oh, the scattering of the orphans' cups within the tents.)

Are Shabbir Ko Ghazi Ki Sunani Jo Sunaai, (Bechain Huwe Dasht Mei Dhunde Kiye Bhai) Mazlum Ki Aankhon Ka Wahaan Kaam Na Karna

When the news of the Ghazi was delivered to Shabbir, (He became restless in the desert, searching for his brother.) (The eyes of the Oppressed One could no longer see.)

Are Sajjad Pe Zaalim Ke Tamaachon Ki Woh Baarish, (Maasum Sakina Pe Tamachon Ki Woh Baarish) Haan Shimr Ka Woh Shaame Gharibaan Mei Na Darna

Oh, that rain of slaps from the tyrant upon Sajjad, (That rain of slaps upon innocent Sakina.) (Yes, Shimr's lack of fear on the Evening of the Strangers.)

Are Rone Pe Koi Zulm Tarapne Pe Koi Bain, (Haathon Mei Rasan Khun Mei Tar Jism Khule Sar) Ye Kaafela Shabbir Ki Maqtal Se Guzarna

Oh, oppression for weeping, and lamentations for writhing in pain, (Hands in ropes, bodies soaked in blood, heads unveiled.) (This caravan passing through the slaughterhouse of Shabbir.)

Are Tatheer Ki Parwasta Ko Galiyoin Mei Phiraana (Har Shehr Ke Har Mor Pe Hi Eid Manaana) Ujre Huwe Ko Dekh Ke Logon Ka Sawarnaa

Oh, parading the household of Purity through the streets, (Celebrating Eid at every corner of every city.) (And the people adorning themselves upon seeing the devastated ones.)

Are Karne Pare Bimaar Ko Taamil Hazaaron, (Be Aasra Sayyedaaniyan Aur Neel Hazaaron) Ab Tak Hi Yatimon Ka Koi Zakhm Na Bharna

Oh, the sick Imam had to endure thousands of commands, (The helpless noble ladies and thousands of bruises.) (Even now, the orphans' wounds have not healed.)

Are Zainab Pe Khuli Rehti Thi Baazaar Ki Aankhen, (Roti Hi Rahi Khun Woh Bimaar Ki Aankhen) Sajjad Ka Har Roz Mei So Baar Ka Marna

Oh, the eyes of the bazaar remained fixed upon Zainab, (The eyes of the sick Imam continued to weep blood.) (Sajjad dying a hundred times every single day.)

Are Maaruf Kabhi Shoukato Farhaan Na Hote, (Lafzon Pe Agar Shaah Meherbaan Na Hote) Alfaaz Mei Hota Kabhi Nauhe Ka Asar Naa

Oh, Maaruf, Shaukat, and Farhan would never have been, (If the King had not been kind to their words.) (There would never have been any impact in the words of the Noha.)
