Shaam E Ashoor Jab Rote Rote Ghash Kha Gayi Sakina Khwaab May Dekhti Hai Sakina Bhaiya Qaasim Ka Aaya Hai Sehra Jab Na Aaya Nazar Usko Dulha Maqtal May Usko Dhoondne Nikli Wo Jaa Ba Jaa Nagaah Usko Laasha E Qasim Nazar Aaya Laashe Qasim Pe Boli Sakina

On the evening of Ashura, as she wept and wept, Sakina fainted. In her dream, Sakina sees, That brother Qasim's wedding garland has arrived. When she could not see the groom, She went out searching for him everywhere in the battlefield. Suddenly, she caught sight of Qasim's corpse, And standing over Qasim's body, Sakina spoke:

Ghar Chalo Bhai Mehndi Lagalo Ghar May Shadi Ki Masnad Bichai Hai Fatima Kubra Dulhan Bani Hai Dhoom Shaadi Ki Ran May Machai Hai

Come home, brother, let us apply the henna, A wedding dais has been laid out at home. Fatima Kubra has become a bride, And the clamor of the wedding has filled the battlefield.

Manqabat Dada Hyder Ki Pad Kar Haath May Tera Sehra Utha Kar Tujhko Awaaz Deti Hai Khwahar

Reciting the praises of grandfather Hyder, Lifting your wedding garland in her hand, Your sister calls out to you.

Ye Ghadi Mujhko Rab Ne Dikhayi Aaj Hai Teri Rasm E Hinaayi Neg Mehndi Ka Dena Hai Bhai

The Lord has shown me this moment, Today is the ritual of your henna, I must give the gift for the henna, brother.

Kaisa Kubra Ka Bigda Muqaddar Syaah Kapde Hai Uske Badan Par Kyun Ye Kehti Hoo Mai Ban May Ro Kar

How ruined is Kubra's destiny, She wears black clothes upon her body, Why do I say this, weeping in the wilderness?

Jis Ghadi Toota Khwaab E Sakina Khud Ko Usne Sar E Dasht Paaya Peet Ke Sar Pukari Wo Dukhiya

The moment Sakina's dream broke, She found herself in the middle of the desert, Beating her head, the sorrowful one cried out.

Hai Phupi Ke Labon Par Ye Noha Hogaya Qatl Maqtal May Dulha Raaegan Hai Mera Ab Ye Kehna

This lament is on the lips of my aunt: The groom has been slain in the battlefield, My saying this now is in vain.

Amma Farwa Ko Kaise Sambhalun Kis Tarha Mai Tasalli Unhe Doo Pehle Khud Ko Ye Kehke Sambhalo

How shall I console mother Farwa? In what way can I offer her comfort? First, I must console myself by saying this.

Dasht May Tha Jo Pur Dard Manzar Keh Nahi Paaye Irfan O Mazhar Kaampti Thi Zameen Bas Ye Sun Kar

The painful scene that was in the desert, Irfan and Mazhar could not describe it, The earth would tremble just hearing it.
