Humne Aqeedato Ka (Saleeqa Bhula Diya)

We have forgotten the etiquette of devotion.

Farshe Aza Ko Khel (Tamasha Bana Diya)

We have turned the carpet of mourning (majlis) into a game and a spectacle.

Mimbar Pe Khel Hota Hai Zikre Hussain Se Kuch Waizo Ne Humko To (Ruswa Kara Diya)

Games are played on the pulpit instead of the remembrance of Hussain; some preachers have brought disgrace upon us.

Apna Liye Hai Saare Tareeqe Yazid Ke Darse Husainiyat Ko To (Humne Bhula Diya)

We have adopted all the ways of Yazid; we have forgotten the lesson of Husainiyat.

Maqsad Ghume Hussain Manana Tha Momino Is Ghum Ko Aaj Humne (Dikhawa Bana Diya)

O believers, the purpose was to observe the grief of Hussain; today, we have turned this grief into a show.

Naamo Ke Saath Saath Laqab Hai Bohot Bade Kirdaar Kuch Nahi Hai Ye (Sabko Dikha Diya)

Along with names, there are grand titles, but there is no character—this we have shown to everyone.

Shohrat Ki Hawis Naam Ke Talib Hai Ye Sab Log Ghum Sayyeda Ke Laal Ka (Dil Se Bhula Diya)

These people are all greedy for fame and seekers of reputation; they have forgotten the grief of the son of Sayyeda (Fatima) from their hearts.

Ankho Mein Ehteraam Na, Tazeem Na Adab Har Be Adab Ko Shaere (Aazam Bana Diya)

There is no respect, no reverence, no etiquette in our eyes; we have made every ill-mannered person a 'great poet'.

Milta Hai Ishtehaar Mein Payso Ke Awiz Naam Humne Zameer Is Tarah (Apna Gawa Diya)

Names are found in advertisements in exchange for money; this is how we have lost our conscience.

Milad O Manqabat Mein Ghina Ka Gumaan Ho Mahaul Padhne Walo Ne (Kaisa Bana Diya)

In Milad and Manqabat, there is the suspicion of singing (musical performance); what kind of environment have the reciters created?

Masjid Khuda Ka Ghar Hai Nahi Zaati Jayedaad Lekin Ijara Daari Ka (Markaz Bana Diya)

The mosque is the house of God, not personal property; yet we have turned it into a center of monopoly.

Ek Dusre Ko Neecha Dikhane Mein Hai Magan Ankho Se Humne Sharm Ka (Parda Gira Diya)

We are engrossed in belittling one another; we have dropped the veil of shame from our eyes.

Gheebat Munafiqat Ko Hai Apna Liya Magar Momin Ka Tarz E Zindagi (Dilse Bhula Diya)

We have adopted backbiting and hypocrisy, but we have forgotten the lifestyle of a true believer from our hearts.

Socho Imam E Waqt Ko Kya Doge Tum Jawab Ae Waizo Jo Puchenge (Paigham Kya Diya)

Think, what answer will you give to the Imam of the Time, O preachers, when He asks, 'What message did you deliver?'

Puchegi Aanewali Har Ek Nasl Ye Sawaal Humne Ghume Hussain Ka (Haq Kya Adaa Kiya)

Every coming generation will ask this question: 'What right of the grief of Hussain have we fulfilled?'

Aansu Ka Ek Qatra Hai Pursa Hussain Ka Humne To Ali Deep Ye (Sabko Bata Diya)

A single drop of a tear is the condolence for Hussain; we, Ali Deep, have told this to everyone.
