Alas, alas Qasim, alas Qasim.

Bound in ropes as captives, the family of the Prophet passed by the corpses. Each lady was bidding farewell to her loved ones with mourning. One lady, Fatima bint-e-Hasan, the sister of Qasim whose body was trampled, could not find a single place to bid farewell, for her brother's body was in pieces. Sometimes she would cry 'Alas Qasim' over this piece, sometimes 'Alas Qasim' over that piece. Your poor sister will never forget the scene of your murder, alas Qasim.

Kabhi Sehra Dekh Ke Roti Thi Kabhi Ghash Kha Ke Gir Jati Thi Pamal Hua Tha Bhai Jahan Us Khoon Pe Gir Kar Haye Qasim

Sanu Ras Na Ai Karbobala Tu Banjh Kafan Main Banjh Rida Taindy Qatal Dy Bad Laeenan Ny Maindi Lut Lai Chadar Haye Qasim

Karbala did not suit us; you were left without a shroud, and I was left without a veil. After your murder, the wretched ones looted my chadar (veil), alas Qasim.
