Doshman Ko Bhi Na Bhai Ka Matam Khuda Dikhaye Logon Batao Bhai Ko Bhai Kahan Se Laye

May God not show even an enemy the mourning of a brother, Oh people, tell me, from where can a brother bring back a brother?

Bhai Ko Khuda Bhai Ka Lasha Na Dikhaye

May God not show a brother the corpse of his brother.

Lashe Pe Alamdar Ke Sheh Kehte The Haye

Over the corpse of the Standard-bearer, the King (Hussain) cried out in agony.

Kya Sani e Zehra Ko Main Batlaon Ga Bhaiya Main Lash Se Uth Kar To Nahi Jaaun Ga Bhaiya Ab Shimr Yahin Aa Ke Chhuri Mujh Pe Chalae

How will I tell the second Zehra (Zainab) about you, brother? I will not be able to rise from this corpse, brother, Now let Shimr come here and strike me with his blade.

Phatt Jaye Ga Gham Se Mera Dil Tham Lo Abbas Ab Dair Bohat Hogai Ghar Ko Chalo Abbas Aaisa Na Ho Maqtal Main Sakina Chali Aaye

My heart will burst with grief, hold me Abbas, It has been too long, let us go home, Abbas, Lest Sakina should come walking into this battlefield.

Ab Hathon Main Larzan Hai Kaha Jaan Rahi Hai Mazloom Ki Ghurbat Main Kamar Toot Gai Hai Ya Rab Kisi Doshman Pe Bhi Ye Waqt Na Aaye

Now my hands are trembling, where is my life going? In the poverty of the oppressed, my back has broken, Oh Lord, may this time not come upon even an enemy.

Ho Gaye Marna Sitam Abbas Ka Abbas Pani Lao

The oppression of Abbas's death has occurred, Abbas, bring water.

Hathon Main Khali Kuze Bachen Liye Hue Hain Gird e Sakina Daikho Halka Kiye Hue Hain Bache Na Jane Kab Ka Pani Piye Hue Hai Bin Aab Mar Na Jayen Pani Inhein Pilao

The children are holding empty water skins in their hands, Look, they have formed a circle around Sakina, The children do not know how long it has been since they drank water, Lest they die without water, give them some to drink.

Pehlo Main Sada Main Ne Bithaya Tumhain Bhai Jis Bhai Ne Godi Main Uthaya Tumhain Bhai Wo Bhai Bhala Kaise Teri Laash Uthaye

I always kept you seated by my side, brother, The brother who used to lift you in his lap, brother, How could that brother possibly lift your corpse?

Maa Behne Hain Ham Shakl e Payambar Ke Hawale Main Mashk o Alam Karta Hon Akbar Ke Hawale Himat Nahi Shabbir Main Jo Khaimo Main Jaye

I entrust the mother and sisters to the one who resembles the Prophet (Ali Akbar), I entrust the water skin and the standard to Akbar, Shabbir (Hussain) does not have the strength to go back to the tents.

Sadat Hai Ye Shaam Ke Lashkar Ko Batao Jate Hue Ye Shimr Se Kehte Hue Jao Wo Meri Sakina Ko Tamache Na Lagaye

Tell this to the army of Sham, that these are the descendants of the Prophet, As you go, tell Shimr this as you leave, That he should not slap my Sakina.

Toot Gai Aas Meri Toot Gai Aas

My hope has shattered, my hope has shattered.

Em Shab Shab e Matam e Hussaina Lachaar Lachaar Lachaar Gai Maa

Tonight is the night of mourning for Hussain, Helpless, helpless, the mother has become helpless.

Dair Hui Mere Chacha Jaan Ko Sidharain Akbar o Baba Hain Gaye Nehar Kinare Amma Mera Kalb Jala Payas Ke Mare Tootte Jaten Hain Mere Dil Ke Sahare

It has been a long time since my uncle departed, Akbar and Father have gone to the riverbank, Mother, my heart is burning from the thirst, The supports of my heart are breaking.

Toot Gai Aas Meri Toot Gai Aas

My hope has shattered, my hope has shattered.

Akbar Ko Abhi Jane Do Ham Ne To Kaha Tha Aulad To Mil Jati Hai Bhai Nahi Milta Shabbir Kahan Se Tumhain Ab Dhond Ke Laye

We had said, let Akbar go for now, Children can be found, but a brother is not found, From where can Shabbir find and bring you back now?

Sadat Ye Kehte Hain Ham Pyase Rahen Ge Tum Ne Na Piya Pani To Ham Bhi Na Piyen Ge Allah Hamain Pyasa Hi Dunya Se Uthaye

The descendants of the Prophet say, we will remain thirsty, If you did not drink water, then we will not drink either, May Allah take us from this world thirsty.

Mud Mud Ke Takke Jate The Abbas Ka Lasha Girte Khabhi Uthte The Takallum Sheh e Wala Akbar Badi Mushkil Se Sambhale Hue Aaye

The King (Hussain) would turn back to look at Abbas's corpse, Sometimes falling, sometimes rising, Takallum, the noble King, Akbar came, supporting him with great difficulty.
