Saji Huwi, Abadiya Ridaa Baghayre Bibiya Jahaa Dikhayi De Ridaa Waha Waha, Karbala

Adorned, the eternity, The ladies without their veils, Wherever the veil is shown, There, oh there, is Karbala.

Jigar Jigar Sinaa Sinaa Lahu Lahu Dhuwa Dhuwa Jahaa Hussain-E Silsila Waha Waha, Karbala

Heart upon heart, chest upon chest, Blood upon blood, smoke upon smoke, Wherever the lineage of Hussain exists, There, oh there, is Karbala.
