Alvidaa Shehzada-e-Qasim

Zainab-E-Khasta Jigar, Aur Kulsum-E-Hazeen Hoke Masruf-E-Bukaa, Ghash Pe Ghash Khaane Lagi Roke Kehti Hai Phuphi, Ay Mere Sher-E-Jawaan Izne Dekho Na Akhi, Ay Mere Sher-E-Jawaan Tu Sifarish Ke Liye Laaya Jo Tawiz-E-Hasan

Zainab, with her weary heart, and the sorrowful Kulsum, Engrossed in weeping, began to faint again and again. Weeping, your aunt says, 'O my lion-hearted youth, Do not look for permission, O my lion-hearted youth, You who brought the amulet of Hasan as your intercession.'

Bhai Shabbar Ki Mere, Ik Nishaani Tum Ho Kaise Marne Ke Liye, Bhejdun Mai Tumko Tumhi Akbar Ho Mere, Ay Mere Sher-E-Jawaan Tumhi Lashkar Ho Mere, Ay Mere Sher-E-Jawaan Sang Iss Dil Pe Rakhaa Phir Yeh Kiye Maine Sukhan

You are the only remaining sign of my brother Shabbar (Hasan), How can I send you to your death? You are my Akbar, O my lion-hearted youth, You are my entire army, O my lion-hearted youth, With a stone upon my heart, I spoke these words.

Dediya Izne-Wighaa, Thaam Ke Qalbo-Jigar Tum Bhi Hojaao Judaa, Ay Mere Nure-Nazar Jaao Hafiz Hai Khuda, Ay Mere Sher-E-Jawaan Roke Sarwar Ne Kahaa, Ay Mere Sher-E-Jawaan Alwidaa Tujhko Kahaa, Hone Lagi Dil Mei Chubhan

I gave you permission for battle, holding my heart and soul together, 'You too must depart, O light of my eyes. Go, may God be your protector, O my lion-hearted youth.' Weeping, the Master (Hussain) said, 'O my lion-hearted youth, I have bid you farewell, and a piercing pain began in my heart.'

Maa Ke Armaan Hai Kya, Yeh Nahin Socha Kabhi Kya Hai Behnon Ki Dua, Yeh Nahin Socha Kabhi Tum Jo Marne Ko Chale, Ay Mere Sher-E-Jawaan Zakhm-E-Dil Gehre Huwe, Ay Mere Sher-E-Jawaan Bewaa Lagne Lagi Yeh Kehte Hii Ik Shab Ki Dulhan

What of your mother's desires? You never thought of this. What of your sisters' prayers? You never thought of this. As you set out to die, O my lion-hearted youth, The wounds of my heart deepened, O my lion-hearted youth, And the bride of one night began to look like a widow as these words were spoken.

Maardalega Mujhe, Teri Furqat Ka Yeh Gham Tu Suwe Dasht Na Jaa, Tujhko Sughra Ki Qasam Waqt Yeh Kaisa Padaa, Ay Mere Sher-E-Jawaan Jo Ho Manzur-E-Khudaa, Ay Mere Sher-E-Jawaan Dasht Se Laaunga Gathri Mei Tera Tukde Badan

This grief of your separation will kill me, Do not go towards the battlefield, I swear to you by Sughra. What a time has befallen us, O my lion-hearted youth, Whatever is the will of God, O my lion-hearted youth, I shall bring back your shredded body from the desert in a bundle.

Ban Mei Jab Jaaoge Tum, Yeh Toh Mujhko Hai Khabar Tan Se Kardoge Judaa, Arzaqe Shaami Ka Sar Hai Magar Yeh Bhi Yaqee(n), Ay Mere Sher-E-Jawaan Tujhko Gheirenge Laee(n), Ay Mere Shere-E-Jawaan Haaye Hojaaega Paamaal Yeh Naazuk Sa Badan

When you go into the field, I know this much, You will sever the head of Arzaq-e-Shami from his body. But I also have this certainty, O my lion-hearted youth, The accursed ones will surround you, O my lion-hearted youth, Alas, this delicate body will be trampled upon.

Dashte Ghurpat Pe Mujhe, Sab Ke Sab Chhodgaye Aur Shahadat Ke Liye, Tum Qamar Bastaa Huwe Meri Mayyat Ke Liye, Ay Mere Sher-E-Jawaan Chaar Kaandhe Na Rahe, Ay Mere Sher-E-Jawaan Ab Yaqee(n) Hogaya Rehjaaunga Begoro Kafan

In this desert of exile, everyone has abandoned me, And for martyrdom, you have girded your loins. For my funeral, O my lion-hearted youth, There will be no four shoulders left, O my lion-hearted youth, Now I am certain I will remain without a grave or shroud.

Dekh Maadar Ki Taraf, Kaisi Karti Hai Bukaa Aankh Mei Dajlaae Gham, Aur Honton Pe Sadaa Dekh Marjaaye Na Maa(n), Ay Mere Sher-E-Jawaan Kaise Bhejun Me Wahaa(n), Ay Mere Sher-E-Jawaan Tu Jahaan Jaane Ko Kehta Hai Woh Hai Mawt Ka Ban

Look towards your mother, how she weeps, With rivers of grief in her eyes, and a cry on her lips. See that your mother does not die, O my lion-hearted youth, How can I send you there, O my lion-hearted youth, Where you say you wish to go is the forest of death.

Roke "Mazhar" Ne Kahaa, Yeh Hai "Irfan"-E-Aza Jab Tasawwur Mei Gaya, Mera Dil Qaamp Uthha Kaise Maula Ne Kahaa, Ay Mere Sher-E-Jawaan Jaa Sue Dashte-Qazaa, Ay Mere Sher-E-Jawaan Aaj Bhi Rota Hu(n) Jab Honton Pe Aata Hai Sukhan

Weeping, Mazhar said, 'This is the true understanding of mourning.' When I went into contemplation, my heart began to tremble, How the Master said, 'O my lion-hearted youth, Go towards the desert of destiny, O my lion-hearted youth.' Even today I weep when these words come to my lips.
