Hogayi Rihaayi, Lo Kafela Chalaa, Sar Jab Har Ek Shahid Ka, Sajjad Ko Mila Tab Marqade Sakina Pe Sajjad Ne Kahaa

Release has come, the caravan has departed, When the head of every martyr was returned to Sajjad, Then at the grave of Sakina, Sajjad said:

Jaag Sakina Jaag Baba Ka Sar Aaya

Wake up Sakina, wake up, your father's head has arrived.

Baba Tumhara Aya Gaya Waqt Neend Ka

Your father has come, the time for sleep has passed.

Seenay Pe Sone Wali, Matti Pe So Gaye Baba Ko Rote Rote, Jo Khamosh Ho Gaye Roro Ke Maan Kabre Sakina Pe Ye Kaha

She who used to sleep on his chest, now sleeps on the dust, She who fell silent while weeping for her father, Weeping bitterly, her mother at Sakina's grave, Said this:

Bibi Karo Salaam, Adab Ka Makaam Hay Bibi Tere Sarhanay, Shahe Tishna Kaam Hay Ay Jaan Jaldi Badlo Ye Kurta Phata Huwa

My lady, offer your salutations, this is a place of reverence, My lady, at your headrest is the King who remained thirsty, O my life, quickly change, This torn garment of yours.

Baba Ko Dhundti Thi, Sakina Utho Utho Raatoon Ko Jaagti Thi, Sakina Utho Utho Lo Aa Gaye Hain Baba Aey Jaan Jag Ja

You who were searching for your father, Sakina, wake up, wake up, You who would stay awake at night, Sakina, wake up, wake up, Look, your father has come, O my life, wake up.

Baba Ke Paas Sona, Na Sona Zamin Par Rakho Labo Ko Lab Par, Jabeen Ko Jabeen Par Aada Ki Ghurkiyo Ka Zamaana Guzar Gaya

Sleep near your father, do not sleep on the ground, Place your lips upon his lips, your forehead upon his forehead, The era of the enemies' harsh rebukes, Has passed.

Payghaam Roz Deti, The Amu Ke Naam Tum Roti Thi Yaad Kar Ke, Unhe Subh Shaam Tum Jaago Ke Jaa Rahay Hay Jahaan Sote Hain Chacha

You used to send messages daily in the name of your uncle (Abbas), You would weep remembering him, morning and evening, Wake up, for we are going, To where your uncle sleeps.

Kis Tarha Soyi Baali, Sakina Na Puchiye Ranjo Alam Se Phat-Ta, Hay Sina Na Puchiye Jaagi Na Phir Kabhi Woh Bohot Maa Ne Di Sadaa

Do not ask how the young Sakina slept, Do not ask, for the heart tears apart from grief and sorrow, She never woke up again, Though her mother called out to her many times.
