Zainab Dukhi, Deti Rahi, Nana Ke Roze Par Sadaa

The sorrowful Zainab kept calling out at the grave of her Grandfather.

Jiske Gale Ko Chum Kar (Nana Tum Roye Umr Bhar) Sajde Me Hi, Uski Pyaasi, Gardan Pe Khanjar Chal Gaya

The one whose throat you kissed (Grandfather, you wept for him all your life), While in prostration, a dagger was drawn across his thirsty neck.

Jiske Sahare Mein Dukhi (Nana Madine Se Chali) Wo Bekhata, Mara Gaya, Darya Kinare, Bawafaa

The one upon whose support this sorrowful one (Grandfather, left Medina), That innocent one was martyred, by the riverbank, the loyal one.

Qasim Ki Shaadi Yu(n) Huwi (Ummat Ne Mehndi Lutli) Sehra Me Bhi, Bhikri Huwi, Sehre Ki Larya, Jabaja

This is how Qasim's wedding took place (the Ummah looted the henna), Even in the desert, scattered everywhere, were the strings of the groom's garland.

Sughra Thi Jiski Muntazir (Chid Gaya Uska Jigar) Akbar Jawaa(n), Kha Kar Sina, Jalti Zami(n) Par, Sogaya

Sughra was waiting for him (her heart was pierced), Young Akbar, having taken a spear, fell asleep on the burning earth.

Dekhi Jo Meri Bekasi (Shaam-E- Ghariba Ropari) Waris Mere, Mare Gaye, Hogayi Be, Aasra

When my helplessness was seen (the evening of the strangers wept), My guardians were martyred, I became without support.

Bhaayi Ka Sadma Sehgayi (Nana Me Tanha Rehgayi) Ummat Teri, Hasti Rahi, Roti Rahi Mei, Bakhuda

I endured the shock of my brother (Grandfather, I was left alone), Your Ummah kept laughing, while I kept weeping, by God.

Dekha Jo Balwa-E-Aam Mei (Khoo(n) Roya Abid Shaam Mei) Darbaaro Mei, Bazaaro(n) Mei, Mujhko Phiraya Bekhata

When I saw the public commotion (Abid wept blood in Syria), In the courts, in the bazaars, they paraded me, though I was innocent.

Jiske Gale Ko Chum Kar (Nana Tum Roye Umr Bhar) Sajde Me Hi, Uski Pyaasi, Gardan Pe Khanjar Chal Gaya

The one whose throat you kissed (Grandfather, you wept for him all your life), While in prostration, a dagger was drawn across his thirsty neck.

“Jawaad” Ali Ki Ladli (“Mesum” Yu(n) Roti Rehgayi) Deen-E-Khuda, To Bachgaya, Ghar Mera Veera(n), Hogaya
