Peace be upon you, Ghazi, peace be upon you, Ghazi, You are the Imam of loyalty, O Ghazi.

Jagah Jagah Hai Alam Gawahi Dilo'n Pe Teri Hai Badshahi Labo'n Pe Tera Hi Naam Ghazi

Everywhere the standard (Alam) stands as a witness, You hold sovereignty over our hearts, Your name alone is on our lips, O Ghazi.

The shadow of your standard is upon us, And upon that standard is the shadow of the Panjetan (the Five Holy Ones), Exalted is your status, O Ghazi.

Alam Ka Jab Se Hua Hay Saya Zameen-E-Karb-O-Bala Pe Moula Tera Hai Chalta Nizam Ghazi

Ever since your standard cast its shadow, Upon the land of Karbala, my Master, It is your order that prevails, O Ghazi.

Tu Bawafa Hai Tu Lafata Hai Be Aasro'n Ka Tu Aasra Hai Jahan Main Charcha Hai Aam Ghazi

Jo Tere Bazoo Qalam Na Hote Aseer Ahl-E-Haram Na Hote Na Jati Zainab Yu Shaam Ghazi

Had your arms not been severed, The family of the Prophet (Ahl-e-Haram) would not have been taken captive, And Zainab would not have had to go to Shaam (Damascus) in such a state, O Ghazi.

O loyal Abbas.

Ghulam Sharminda Hai Ye Moula Na Laasha Khaimo'n Main Leke Jana Tha Lab Pe Tere Kalam Ghazi

Your servant is ashamed, my Master, 'Do not bring my body back to the tents,' These were the words upon your lips, O Ghazi.

Jawad O Sarwar Jab Aaye Sarwar Bureeda Bazoo Tha Ibn-E-Haider To Kaise Karta Salam Ghazi

When the Master (Sarwar/Hussain) arrived, The son of Haider (Ali) had severed arms, So how could he offer a salute (salaam), O Ghazi?

O loyal Abbas, My loyal Ghazi.
