Pyaasa Hu(n) Teen Roz Ka Zakhmo(n) Se Choor Hu(n) Ya Rab Gawaah Rahiyo Ke Mei Bekasur Hu(n) Che Maah Ho Gaye Mei Watan Se Bhi Door Hu(n) Ab Teri Baargaah Mei Tere Huzoor Hu(n)

Ek Qalb-E-Natawaan Be Bahattar Ka Daagh Hai Athara Saal Ke Ali Akbar Ka Daagh Hai Bazu Burida Sher Ka Asghar Ka Daag Hai Lagna Abhi Luti Huwi Chadar Ka Daagh Hai

Mazloom Ki Imdaad Ko Aata Nahi Koi Paani Dam-E-Marg Pilata Nahi Koi Zakhmo(n) Pe Lagi Khaak Churaata Nahi Koi Haay Haay Mere Bache Ko Bachata Nahi Koi

Haider Se Kaha Zehra Ne Khof Ata Hai Saheb Maa(n) Hu(n) Mera Dil Dard Se Tharrata Hai Saheb Ye Dekhiye Duniya Se Pisar Jaata Hai Saheb Khanjar Ko Liye Shimr Chala Aata Hai Saheb

Zehra said to Haider, 'I am afraid, my Lord, I am a mother, my heart trembles with pain, my Lord. Look, my son is departing from this world, my Lord, Shimr is approaching, holding a dagger, my Lord.'

Farmaane Lage Maa(n) Se Basad Ranj Ye Maula Kuch Deyr Mei Ab Kooch Hai Duniya Se Hamara Ay Amma Chali Jaaye Maqtal Se Khudara Kis Tarah Se Dekhogi Tarapta Huwa Laasha

The Master began to say to his mother with great sorrow, 'In a little while, I shall depart from this world. O Mother, please leave the battlefield for God's sake, How will you bear to see my writhing body?'

Ek Baar Jo Khaymo(n) Ki Taraf Yaas Dekha Dekha Ke Dar-E-Khaymaa(n) Pe Roti Hai Sakina Ek Hook Uthi Qalb Mei Rone Lage Maula Zainab Se Ishaaro(n) Se Kaha Ay Meri Behna

Aawaz-E-Ghaib Aayi Palat Aa Hussain Aa Ab Imtehaan Tera Mukammal Yaha Huwa Khun-E-Pisar Se Tu Hai Wuzu Ab To Kar Chuka Ye Sun Ke Sheh Ne Sajde Mei Sar Rakh Ke Ye Kaha

A voice from the unseen came, 'Return, Hussain, return, Your test is now complete here. You have performed ablution with the blood of your son.' Hearing this, the King placed his head in prostration and said:

Jab Ponchi Behen Bhaayi Ke Laashe Pe Khule Sar Dekha Ke La'ee(n) Pher Chuka Halq Pe Khanjar Aur Shimr Liye Jata Hai Sar Gesoo Pakar Kar Ay "Sarwar-O-Rehan" Karo Yaad Wo Manzar

When the sister reached her brother's body with uncovered head, She saw the wretch had already drawn the dagger across his throat, And Shimr was taking the head, holding it by the hair, O Sarwar and Rehan, remember that scene.
