Aye Alam Daar E Wafa Aye Baab E Hawaij

O Standard-bearer of loyalty, O Gateway to the fulfillment of needs.

Kehti Hai Azadaar Ki Ashko Ki Rawani Matam Ki Hai Awaaz, Tapakta Hua Paani Hai Teri Wafao Ki Ajab Ghazi Kahani Bachpan Pe Sakina Ke Fida Kar Di Jawani Hai Teri Wafao Ki Ajab Ghazi Kahani

The flowing tears of the mourners speak, The sound of lamentation, like dripping water. Strange is the tale of your loyalty, O Ghazi, You sacrificed your youth for the sake of Sakina. Strange is the tale of your loyalty, O Ghazi.

Abbas Kabhi Kuch Bhi Nahi Maanga Hai Tum Ne Jab Mashk Chhidi Tumne Dua Maangi Ye Rab Se Aajaye Isi Waqt, Agar Maut Hai Aani Hai Teri Wafao Ki Ajab Ghazi Kahani

Abbas, you have never asked for anything, When the water-skin was pierced, you prayed to the Lord: 'If death is to come, let it come right now.' Strange is the tale of your loyalty, O Ghazi.

Sarwar Ne Kaha Jung Nahi Karni Hai Bhaiyya Yu Hukm Pe Shabbir Ke Sar Tumne Jhukaya Aati Hi Nahi Jaise Tumhe Tegh Chalani Hai Teri Wafao Ki Ajab Ghazi Kahani

The Master (Hussain) said, 'Brother, do not wage war,' And thus you bowed your head to the command of Shabbir, As if you did not even know how to wield a sword. Strange is the tale of your loyalty, O Ghazi.

Bhai Ko Sadaa Aaqa Kaha Bhai Na Bola Bachpan Mein Yehi Wada To Madar Se Kiya Tha Har Baat Ghulamo Ki Tarha Bhai Ki Maani Hai Teri Wafao Ki Ajab Ghazi Kahani

You called your brother 'Master' and never 'Brother', This was the promise you made to your mother in childhood, You obeyed your brother in everything, like a servant. Strange is the tale of your loyalty, O Ghazi.

Hairaan Wafa Hogayi Jab Dekha Ye Manzar Tum Pyaase Palat Aaye Ho Darya Mein Utar Kar Aasan Thi Jis Waqt Bohot Pyaas Bujhani Hai Teri Wafao Ki Ajab Ghazi Kahani

Loyalty itself was astonished when it saw this scene, That you returned thirsty after descending into the river, At a time when quenching that thirst was so easy. Strange is the tale of your loyalty, O Ghazi.

Sar Aap Ka Rehwaar Ki Gesu Mein Bandha Tha Naize Pe Bulandi Bhi Nahi Tujh Ko Gawara Sar Shaah Ke Aage Na Uthane Ki Hai Thaani Hai Teri Wafao Ki Ajab Ghazi Kahani

Your head was tied to the mane of the horse, Even being raised on a spear was not acceptable to you, You had resolved not to raise your head before the King (Hussain). Strange is the tale of your loyalty, O Ghazi.

Hai Arsalan O Meesam Ye Soch Ke Rote Zakhmo Se Lahu Aise Bahaa Ghazi Tumhare Jis Tarha Baha Mashk E Sakina Se Tha Paani Hai Teri Wafao Ki Ajab Ghazi Kahani

Arsalan and Meesam weep thinking of this: That blood flowed from your wounds, O Ghazi, Just as water flowed from the water-skin of Sakina. Strange is the tale of your loyalty, O Ghazi.
