Ae Azadaro Madine Ka Safar Maine Kiya Qabr E Zahra Se Hata Nana Ka Marqad Chhoda Dar Ba Dar Phirta Hua Karbobala Mein Pohcha Reh Gayi Ghar Mein Akeli Meri Beti Sughra

O mourners, I undertook the journey from Medina I left the grave of my grandfather, moving away from the grave of Zahra I wandered from door to door until I reached Karbala And left my daughter Sughra alone at home

Maine Akbar Ko Lahu Hote Hue Dekha Hai Tukde Tukde Ye Bhatije Ka Mere Laasha Hai Mere Hatho'n Pe Hi Besheer Mera Tadpa Hai Mere Zaanu Pe Hi Abbas Ne Dam Toda Hai

I have seen Akbar drenched in blood This is the shredded body of my nephew My infant son gasped his last on my very hands And Abbas breathed his last upon my lap

Khaak Aur Khoon Mein Doobi Meri Tanhai Hai Mai Bhi Pyaasa Hu Sakina Bhi Meri Pyaasi Hai Dekh Kar Meri Musibat Meri Maa Roti Hai Maine Akbar Ke Kaleje Se Sina Khechi Hai

My solitude is drowned in dust and blood I am thirsty, and my Sakina is also thirsty Seeing my calamity, my mother weeps I have pulled the spear from Akbar's chest

Zibha Ke Baad Bhi Kam Mujhpe Musibat Na Hui Ek Anguthi Ke Liye Kaat Li Ungli Meri Laash Meri Sume Aspaas Baha Rondi Gayi Mere Tukde Se Sadaa Aati Hai Bus Ya Mehdi

Even after my slaughter, my suffering did not lessen For the sake of a ring, they severed my finger My body was trampled by the hooves of horses From my scattered remains, the only cry that comes is 'Ya Mehdi'

Shaam O Kufa Mein Har Ek Zulm Ki Shiddat Dekhi Noke Naiza Se Har Ek Bachhe Ki Haalat Dekhi Maine Sajjad Ke Chehre Ki Aziyat Dekhi Band Aankho'n Se Bhi Zainab Ki Musibat Dekhi

In Sham and Kufa, I witnessed the intensity of every cruelty I saw the condition of every child from the tip of the spear I saw the agony on Sajjad's face Even with closed eyes, I witnessed the suffering of Zainab

Maine Lut Te Hue Karbal Mein Bhara Ghar Dekha Maine Sajjad Ke Ashko'n Ka Samandar Dekha Noke Naiza Se Mere Sar Ne Ye Manzar Dekha Majma E Aam Mein Zainab Ko Khule Sar Dekha

I saw my full household being looted in Karbala I saw an ocean of tears from Sajjad From the tip of the spear, my head witnessed this scene I saw Zainab unveiled in the public square

Aaj Bhi Dukh Mere Qatil Mujhe Dete Hai Mazeed Gardane Kaat Ti Hai Aaj Bhi Wo Nasle Yazeed Masjido'n Mein Bhi Aza Walo Pe Hai Zulm E Shadeed Aaj Bhi Hote Hai Ye Mere Azadaar Shaheed

Even today, my killers inflict more pain upon me Even today, the descendants of Yazid sever necks Even in mosques, there is severe oppression upon those who mourn Even today, my mourners are martyred

Mujhko Maloom Hai Jo Zulm Mere Baad Hue Maine Dekha Hai Jalae Gaye Mere Khaime Kaise Khaichi Gayi Zainab Ki Rida Naize Se Shimr Ne Kaise Sakina Ko Tamache Maare

I am aware of the atrocities that occurred after me I have seen my tents being set on fire How Zainab's veil was pulled by a spear How Shimr struck Sakina with slaps

Ae Qamar Kehte Hai Maula Mai Bohot Tanha Hu Zakhm Apno Se Jo Lagte Hai Mujhe Sehta Hu Door Maqsad Se Azadaar Hai Mai Rota Hu Ab Bhi Mazloom Hu Mai Aaj Bhi Mai Pyaasa Hu

O Qamar, the Maula says, 'I am very lonely' 'I endure the wounds inflicted by my own people' 'My mourners are far from the purpose, and I weep' 'I am still oppressed, and even today, I am thirsty'
