Le Lo Salaam Zainab Ka

Aayi Hoo Phir Se Nainawa Bhaiya Bahattar Ka Chehlum Karungi Dil Khol Kar Aaj Matam Karungi Farshe Aza Lo Bich Gaya

I have returned once again to Nainawa (Karbala), Brother, I shall perform the Chehlum (40th day) for the seventy-two, I shall mourn with an open heart today, Behold, the carpet of mourning has been spread.

Bhaiya Lahoo Mera Sajjad Roya Mai So Saki Na Aur Na Sajjad Soya Har Har Qadam Thi Karbala

Brother, my Sajjad wept tears of blood, Neither could I sleep, nor did Sajjad sleep, Every single step was Karbala.

Bhaiya Watan Jaa Ke Mai Kya Karungi Ujde Madine Mein Kaise Rahungi Mar Jayegi Ye Gham Zada

Brother, what will I do upon returning to my homeland? How will I live in a desolate Medina? This grief-stricken one will surely die.

Mai Bhi Yahin Zaairon Mein Rahungi Aur Zaairon Ki Mai Khidmat Karungi Ye Waqt Phir Kab Aayega

I too shall remain here among the pilgrims, And I shall serve the pilgrims, When will this moment come again?

Khoon Mein Bhara Kurta Le Jaa Rahi Hoo Lekin Tumhari Qasam Kha Rahi Hoo Haarungi Na Mai Hausla

I am taking away your blood-stained shirt, But I am swearing an oath to you, I will not lose my courage.

Saare Shaheed Ab Tumhare Hawale Mai Apne In Ghamzadon Ko Sambhale Le Jaa Rahi Hoo Khaafila

I leave all the martyrs in your care now, While I, taking care of these grief-stricken ones, Am leading the caravan away.

Bhaiya Sakina Ko Na Laayi Zainab Zindan Mein Us Ko Chod Aayi Zainab Roti Rahi Wo Mehlakha

Brother, Zainab did not bring Sakina, Zainab left her behind in the prison, That beautiful one kept weeping.
