The flag of the army has returned to the camp, but the brave Abbas who carried it is missing from the riverbank.

Alamdaar Na Aaya

The Standard-bearer did not return.

Aaya Hai Alam Aur Alamdaar Na Aaya Daryaa Se Dil E Hyder E Karraar Na Aaya.

The standard has arrived, but the Standard-bearer did not return; The heart of the valiant Hyder (Ali) did not return from the river.

Baazuu Jo Katey Daanto Mey Mashkeeza Dabaaya Jab Mashq Chidii Phir Wo Hayaadaar Na Aaya.

When his arms were severed, he held the water-skin in his teeth; Once the water-skin was pierced, that modest soul did not return.

Har Laash Pey Bhaii Ka Madadgaar Tha Gaazi Baad Uskey Koi Shah Ka Madadgaar Na Aaya.

Ghazi was the helper of his brother at every fallen body; After him, no one came to help the King (Hussain).

Jab Tak Wo Rahaa Chaadar E Zainab Ka Muhaafiz Qaimey Ki Taraf Koi Sitamgaar Na Aaya.

As long as he remained the guardian of Zainab's veil, No oppressor dared approach the tents.

Baazuu Tha Jo Shabbir Ka Bey Baazu Huwaa Wo Bey Dast Wo Dast E Shah E Abraar Na Aaya.

He who was the arm of Shabbir became armless; That hand of the righteous King did not return, now without hands.

Jis Waqt Tamaachey Hai Lagey Boli Sakina Kya Mujhpey Chacha Jaan Tumhey Pyaar Na Aaya.

When the slaps were struck, Sakina cried out: 'Dear Uncle, did you not feel love for me?'

Hai Mujhko Yaqee Naizey Pey Gaazi Ko Ye Ghum Tha Qabzey Mey Merey Shaam Ka Baazaar Na Aaya.

I am certain that even on the spear, Ghazi felt this grief: 'The bazaar of Shaam did not come under my control.'

Maangaa Hai Sakina Key Tawassul Sey Jo Mesum Salmaan Dar E Gaazi Se Inkaar Na Aaya.

Whatever Mesum has asked for through the intercession of Sakina, O Salman, there has never been a refusal from the door of Ghazi.
