Hussain Jab Key Chaley Aye

Hussain Jab Key Chaley Aye Baad-e-Dopahar Ran Ko Na Tha Koi Key Jo Thaamey Rakab-e-Tousan Ko Sakina Thaam Rahi Thee Abaa Key Daaman Ko

When Hussain set out for the battlefield after midday, There was no one left to hold the stirrup of his steed, (Only) Sakina was holding onto the hem of his cloak.

Hussain Chup Ke Khadey Hui Hain Nazar Alam Per Gadi Hui Hai Sakina Thaamey Abaa Ka Daaman Ye Apne Baba Se Keh Rahi Hay Aye Pyare Baba Qasam Tumhari Main Tishna Lab Hoon Zara Sa Paani Wa Ghurbata Wa Museebata

Hussain stands in silence, His gaze fixed upon the standard (Alam), Sakina, holding her father's cloak, Is saying to her father: 'Oh beloved father, I swear by you, I am parched-lipped, Just a little water, Oh, the loneliness! Oh, the tragedy!'

Chacha Se Aye Baba Jaan Keh Dein Sakina Pyasi Hai Teen Din Se Zabaa'n Pe Kaa'nte Pade Hue Hain Key Mashk Khali Hai Teen Din Se Lo Baba Dekho, Ye Mashk Khali Main Tishna Lab Hoon Zara Sa Paani Wa Ghurbata Wa Museebata

Oh dear father, please tell my uncle (Abbas), Sakina has been thirsty for three days, Thorns have grown upon my tongue (from dryness), For the water-skin has been empty for three days, Look father, see, this water-skin is empty, I am parched-lipped, Just a little water, Oh, the loneliness! Oh, the tragedy!'

Mujhe Hai Ehsaas Mere Baba Key Ham Se Pyase Ho Tum Ziyada Karungi Tum Se Na Phir Taqaza Hai Baba Beti Ka Tum Se Wada Main Tum Pe Sadqey, Main Tum Pe Wari Main Tishna Lab Hoon Zara Sa Paani Wa Ghurbata Wa Museebata

I realize, my father, That you are thirstier than we are, I will not make this request of you again, Father, this is your daughter's promise to you, I sacrifice myself for you, I am devoted to you, I am parched-lipped, Just a little water, Oh, the loneliness! Oh, the tragedy!'
