Lahoo Me Tar Jabeen E Murtaza Hai

The forehead of Murtaza (Ali) is drenched in blood.

Musalla Khoon Me Dooba Huwa Hai Huwa Kulle Wilayat Par Hai Hamla Are Tauheed Ka Zakhmi Hai Chehra Risalat Dekh Kar Ye Ghamzadah Hai

The prayer mat is drowned in blood. An attack has been launched upon the entirety of Wilayat. Alas, the face of Monotheism is wounded; Prophethood is grief-stricken at this sight.

Jabeen E Masjid E Kufa Hui Shaq Larazti Hai Jidar E Khana E Haq Hazeeñ Arshe Bareeñ Bhi Kaañpta Hai

The forehead of the Kufa Mosque has been split. The walls of the House of Truth tremble. Even the highest Throne of God is trembling in sorrow.

Ye Zahar Aaluda Zarbat Ka Asar Hai Jo Tukdoñ Me Aqamat Ka Jigar Hai Azañ Ab Padh Rahi Ye Marsiya Hai

This is the effect of the poison-tainted strike, Which has shattered the heart of the call to prayer (Aqamat). Now, the Adhan itself is reciting this elegy.

Chali Zarbat Ali Ke Sar Pa Jab Se Haiñ Lete Siskiyaañ Har Aan Sajde Do Parah Zulm Se Ab Sajdagah Hai

Ever since the strike fell upon Ali's head, Prostrations are sobbing in every moment. The place of prostration is now split in two by tyranny.

Ali Ke Khooñ Se Rangeeñ Musalla Namazeñ Roti Haiñ Zakhmi Hai Sajda Lab E Takbeer Par Aaho Buka Hai

The prayer mat is colored with Ali's blood. Prayers are weeping, the prostration is wounded. Upon the lips of the Takbeer, there is lamentation and crying.

Badi Mushkil Me Quraan E Nabi Hai Ajab Aafat Ye Qir'at Par Padi Hai Ali Ka Sar Shikasta Ho Gaya Hai

The Prophet's Quran is in great distress. A strange calamity has befallen the recitation. Ali's head has been broken.

Lahu Roye Na Kyuñ Tasbeeh E Zahra Ruko E Mustafa Hai Dil Khamida Jigar Aayaat Ka Zakhmi Huwa Hai

Why should the rosary of Zahra not weep blood? The face of Mustafa is sorrowful, his heart bent in grief. The heart of the Quranic verses has been wounded.

Qayamat Aik Tashah'hud Par Hai Tooti Ali Ko Kah Raha Batil Hai Mufti Ali Ka Qatl Ab Bhi Ho Raha Hai

Doomsday has descended upon a single testimony of faith (Tashahhud). Falsehood is calling itself the judge over Ali. Ali is still being martyred even now.

Huwa Quraañ Ka Dil Bhi Para Para Do Para Sar Huwa Jab Murtaza Ka Pukari Karbala Ye Ibteda Hai

The heart of the Quran was also torn apart, When the head of Murtaza was split in two. Karbala cried out, 'This is only the beginning.'

Nida E Fuz'to Se Mahraab Goonja Mukammal Ho Gaya Haider Ka Sajda Abhi Shabbir Ka Sajda Bacha Hai

The prayer niche echoed with the cry of 'I have succeeded' (Fuz'to). Haider's prostration was completed. But Shabbir's (Hussain's) prostration is yet to come.

Bine Muljim Pa Lanat Kibriya Ki Ho Lanat Fatima O Mustafa Ki Adu E Murtaza Dozakh Rasa Hai

May the curse of the Almighty be upon Ibn Muljim. May the curse of Fatima and Mustafa be upon him. The enemy of Murtaza is destined for Hell.

Ada Ho Ab Namaz E Gham Ka Sajda Azadaro Karo Matam Qama Ka Wazu Bhi Khoon Se Karna 'Raza' Hai

Now perform the prostration of the prayer of grief. O mourners, perform the mourning of the Qama (sword strike). To perform Wudu with blood is the will of 'Raza'.
