Rahe Wafaa Ke Bahattar Masafiron Ki Kassam, Labe Farat Sulagte Huwe Gharon Ki Kassam, Sina Ki Nok Pe Rakhe Huwe Saron Ki Kassam Jalaale Hazrate Abbas Banke Jaaungi

I swear by the seventy-two travelers on the path of loyalty, I swear by the burning tents on the banks of the Euphrates, I swear by the heads raised upon the tips of spears, I will go forth with the majesty of Hazrat Abbas.

Khushi Se Ehle Sitam Bandha De Mere Bazu, Benege Nuh Ka Tufaan Ab Mere Ansuu, Na Chhut Sakegi Ye Khune Hussain Ki Khushbu, Me Sar Khule Huwe Darbaare Shaam Jaungi

Let the oppressors bind my arms with joy, My tears will now become the flood of Noah, The fragrance of Hussain's blood will never fade, I will enter the court of Shaam with my head unveiled.

Nigaah Janibe Dariya Uthi To Itna Kahaa, Mere Diler Alamdaar Fathaye Dariya Tujhe Khabar Hai Mere Sarse Chhingayi Hai Rida Tere Alam Ka Pharera Rida Banaaungi

When my gaze turned toward the river, I said only this, My brave standard-bearer, conqueror of the river, Are you aware that my veil has been snatched from my head? I will make the banner of your standard my veil.

Jo Ponchi Shaam To Bazaar Ko Sajaa Dekha, Kabhi Najaf To Kabhi Sue Karbala Dekha Pukaari Baba Mera Tumne Hosla Dekha Jahaa Bhi Jawungi Farshe Aza Bichaungi

When I reached Shaam, I saw the bazaar decorated, Sometimes I looked toward Najaf, sometimes toward Karbala, I called out, 'Father, did you see my courage?' Wherever I go, I will spread the carpet of mourning (Farshe Aza).
