Yeh Kaun Log Hain, Qafla Kaha Hain Rawan

Who are these people, where is this caravan heading?

Haseen Chaand Se Chehre Hain, Kuch Sina Pe Ayaan Inhi Saron Me Se Ek Sar Juda Juda Dekha Faras Ke Saath Jo Gardan Me Hain Bandha Dekha Haaye...

These are beautiful, moon-like faces, some visible on spears. Among these heads, I saw one head separated from the rest. I saw it tied to the neck of the horse. Alas...

Gardan Me Rahwaar Ki Ghazi Ka Sar Bandha Hain Naize Pe Sar Hussain Ka Kuch Yu Bhi Ro Raha Hain Ghazi Ka Sar Bandha Hain Gardan Me Rahwar Ki Ghazi Ka Sar Bandha Hain

The head of the Ghazi is tied to the horse's neck. The head of Hussain on the spear is weeping in this way. The Ghazi's head is tied. The head of the Ghazi is tied to the horse's neck.

Naizon Pe Sabke Sar Hain, Ghazi Ka Sar Kaha Hain Bechain Hain Sakina, Aayi Labon Pe Jaan Hain Ghash Khaake Gir Gayi Woh, Zaalim Se Jab Suna Hain

Everyone's heads are on spears, but where is the Ghazi's head? Sakina is restless, her life is on her lips. She fainted and fell when she heard this from the oppressor.

Bepardagi Pe Noha, Aur Ghairaton Pe Matam Sarwar Ke Sar Se Pucho Yeh Bekasi Ka Aalam Zainab Ka Sar Khula Hain, Aabid Ka Sar Jhuka Hain

Lamentation over the lack of veils, and mourning for honor. Ask the Master (Sarwar) about this state of helplessness. Zainab's head is unveiled, Aabid's head is bowed.

Kaise Bayaan Karu Main Abbas Ke Safar Ko Ghode Ke Gaysuon Se Bandha Jari Ke Sar Ko Rahwaar Bhi Safar Me Rota Hua Chala Hain

How can I describe the journey of Abbas? The head of the brave warrior tied to the horse's mane. Even the horse is walking while weeping on this journey.

Kya Haal Kar Diya Hain Saadat Ke Saron Ka Sar Ko Shah E Huda Ke, Tandoor Me Hain Rakha Akbar Ke Sar Ko Haye, Sandooq Me Rakha Hain

What state have they brought the heads of the Prophet's family to? The head of the King of Guidance has been placed in an oven. The head of Akbar, alas, has been placed in a box.

Saidaniyon Ke Sar Jab, Mohtaaj Hain Rida Ke Sar Ghazi Bawafa Ka Naize Pe Kaise Thehre Thehra Na Jo Sina Pe, Toh Yeh Sitam Hua Hain

When the heads of the noble ladies are in need of veils, how could the head of the loyal Ghazi stay on the spear? Since it did not stay on the spear, this cruelty has happened.

Abbas Aur Sakina, Qismat Hain Ek Jaisi Naake Ki Pusht Par Hain Bandhi Gayi Bhateeji Kamsin Ka Rassiyon Me Jakda Hua Gala Hain

Abbas and Sakina, their fate is the same. The niece is tied to the back of the camel. The young girl's neck is bound in ropes.

Salman Aur Mesum, Woh Bawafa Dilawar Naize Pe Bhi Na Aya, Aaka Ke Woh Baraabar Sultan E Karbala Ka Naize Pe Sar Chala Hain

Salman and Mesum, those loyal, brave ones. Even on the spear, no one could equal the Master. The Sultan of Karbala's head is moving on the spear.

Ghazi Ka Sar Bandha Hain

The Ghazi's head is tied.
