Karbal Mein Lahoo Se, Deen Ki Shamma Jail Hai

In Karbala, with blood, the candle of religion has been lit.

Is Deen Ki Baqa Hai To Hussain Ibne Ali Hai

If this religion survives, it is because of Hussain, son of Ali.

Jalta Hua Sehra Hai Magar Tishna Labi Mein Talwaar Jigar Goshaa-E Zahra Pe Chali Hai

The desert is burning, yet amidst this parched thirst, the sword has struck the beloved son of Zahra.

Khoon Kaano Mein Hai Laali Hai Rukhsaare Sakina Is Haal Mein Shabbir Ki Naazo Se Pali Hai

There is blood in her ears, and redness on Sakina's cheeks; in this state, she who was raised with such tenderness by Shabbir now suffers.

Hal Chal Si Hai Maidaan Mein Kon Aaya Hai Dekho Andaaz Wohi Hai Ya Haqeeqat Mein Ali Hai

There is a stir on the battlefield; look, who has arrived? The manner is the same, or is it truly Ali in reality?

Abbas Rida Cheeni Gayi Teri Behen Se Aa Dekh Ke Rassiyon Mein Bandhi Shaam Chali Hai

Abbas, the veil has been snatched from your sister; come and see, she is being led to Shaam bound in ropes.

Ek Laash Ke Tukro Mein Hai Kuch Sehra Ki Taare Pehchaan Ke Maa Farwa Ne Sar Khaak Mali Hai

Amidst the pieces of a corpse are some desert thorns; recognizing them, mother Farwa has rubbed dust upon her head in grief.

Deewaro Pe Jee Bharke Inhe Likhne Do Baari Kaafir Hai Agar Koi To Ghustaake Ali Hai

Let them write these verses on the walls to their heart's content; if anyone is a disbeliever, it is the one who insults Ali.
