Ya Hussain, Ya Hussain Ishq E Ali O Zahra Hussain

O Hussain, O Hussain, The love of Ali and Zahra is Hussain.

Arshe Bari Ho Jiska Musalla Sajda Jise Karta Ho Qibla Jiski Sukunat Sehne Kaaba Jiska Amama Gumbade Khazra Jisse Hai Aabru, Deene Khuda Ki Wo Hussain Haideri Zebo Zayn, Fatima Zehra Ka Hai Chayn

He whose prayer mat is the highest throne (Arsh), To whom the Qibla itself bows in prostration, Whose abode is the courtyard of the Kaaba, Whose turban is the Green Dome (of the Prophet), He who gives honor to the religion of God is Hussain, The beauty and adornment of Haider, the peace of Fatima Zahra.

Shane Qayadat Roohe Imamat Jiski Mawaddat Ajre Risalat Barsare Naiza Husne Tilawat Sabr Hai Jaisa Waisi Shaja'at Aye Shahe Mashraqayn, Aye Dil O Jaane Karbala Aap Hi Ibteda, Aap Hi Ishq Ki Intehaa

The glory of leadership, the soul of Imamat, Whose love is the reward of Prophethood, The beauty of recitation upon the spearhead, His courage matches his patience, O King of the East and West, O heart and soul of Karbala, You are the beginning, and you are the ultimate end of love.

Chehra Tera Wan-Najm Ki Surat Gesu Tere Wal-Layl Ki Aayat Badr E Tamami Qad Aur Qamat Aankho Ki Hai Wan-Noor Alamat Qalbe Qur'an Ke, Noor Mein Baham Hai Hussain Usme Ek Lafz Hai, Uska Mujassam Hai Hussain

Your face is like the Surah An-Najm, Your locks are the verses of Surah Al-Layl, Your stature is the full moon, Your eyes are the sign of 'The Light' (An-Noor), Hussain is the heart of the Quran, united in light, He is a word within it, and he is the embodiment of it.

Hurr Se Dilawar Kya The, Kya Hai Rahib O Fitrus Tujhpe Fida Hai Jitne Shaheede Karbobala Hai Teri Ataa Pe Mehwe Sanaa Hai Sura E Rehman Ki, Puchiye Kya Tafseer Hai Khud Kahega Khuda, Bus Wo Mera Shabbir Hai

What were the brave ones like Hurr, and what have they become? The monk (Rahib) and Fitrus are sacrificed upon you, All the martyrs of Karbala, Are lost in praise of your benevolence, If one asks for the interpretation of Surah Ar-Rahman, God Himself will say, 'It is simply My Shabbir.'

Karbobala Ab Humko Bulaye Farshe Zamee'n Par Arsh Dikhaye Khake Shifa Dastaar Banaye Roze Pe Tere Sar Ko Jhukaye Karbala Naam Hai, Ishq Ki Us Me'raj Ka Paa Sake Koshishe, Karke Bhi Na Jise Ambiya

May Karbala call us now, To show us the throne (Arsh) upon this earth, To make the dust of healing (Khak-e-Shifa) our crown, To bow our heads at your shrine, Karbala is the name of that ascension of love, Which even the Prophets could not attain despite their efforts.

Kaisi Sahar Ashoor Ki Aayi Kaisi Sitam Ki Aandhi Chhayi Baqi Rahe Na Bete Bhai Roti Rahi Tujh Par Tanhai Ran Ko Jo Bhi Gaya, Tujhpe Fida Hota Raha Ro Rahi Hai Aaj Bhi, Gham Me Tumhare Karbala

What a dawn the day of Ashura brought, What a storm of oppression descended, Neither sons nor brothers remained, Solitude kept weeping over you, Whoever went to the battlefield kept sacrificing themselves for you, Even today, Karbala is weeping in grief for you.

Fakhr Hame Salman O Raza Hai Humko Mayassar Farsh E Aza Hai Fatima Zehra Ki Ye Ataa Hai Lab Pe Hamare Jo Noha Hai Baadshahi Se Badh-Kar, Hai Hamari Naukri Dhadkane Qalb Hai, Naam E Hussain Ibn E Ali

We take pride in Salman and Raza, We are blessed with the carpet of mourning (Farsh-e-Aza), This is the gift of Fatima Zahra, That the Noha is upon our lips, Our service is greater than any kingdom, The heartbeat of our hearts is the name of Hussain ibn Ali.
