Father, Father, where are you?

Father, Father, Father, where are you? In the desert of Karbala, This cry of Sakina echoed: Father, Father, Father, where are you?

Pehli Baar Hai Maqtal Dekha, Rasta Kaise Jaanungi Be Sar Ke Hai Lashe Sare, Kaise Mein Pehchanungi Baba Do Awaz Koi, Gunji Sakina Ki Ye Sada

I have seen the battlefield for the first time, how will I know the way? All the bodies are headless, how will I recognize them? Father, call out to me, this cry of Sakina echoed.

Jo Hai "Qamar" Konain Ke Malik, Ghurbat Ke Alam Mein Hai Jo Tatheer Ke Waris Hai(n) Wo, Ruswai Ke Gham Mein Hai Bechadar Phuphiyan Hai Khari, Gunji Sakina Ki Ye Sada

He who is the Master of both worlds, 'Qamar', is in a state of exile, Those who are the inheritors of purity are in the grief of humiliation, My aunts stand without veils, this cry of Sakina echoed.
