Lo Alamdar Alamdar Alamdar Chala

Maskh Khande Par Rakhi Pyaas Kuch Aur Badi Aagayi Wo Bhi Gadi Janibe Neher Chali Leke Farare Ki Hawa

He placed the water-skin upon his shoulder, and the thirst grew even more. The moment arrived, and he headed towards the river, carrying the breeze of flight (courage).

Shor Mojo Se Utha Marhaba Sakeala Boli Ghazi Pe Wafa Ke Siwaai Ko Bada Sarko Jhukay Dariya

A roar rose from the waves, 'Welcome, O Water-Bearer!' Loyalty spoke upon the Ghazi, for who else could make the river bow its head?

Pani Chulu Me Liya Door Se Ek Tir Laga Di Sakina Ko Sada Pani Lata Hey Meri Jaah Abhi Tera Sakah

He took water in his cupped hands, but an arrow struck from afar. He called out to Sakina, 'My life, your water-bearer is bringing water now.'

Mashk Barmati Bhari Khud Bhi Pyasa Tha Jari Tashnagi Kehtirahi Pani Piley E Alamdar Moka He Mila

The water-skin was filled to the brim, while he himself remained thirsty. His thirst kept saying, 'Drink the water, O Standard-Bearer, the opportunity has arrived.'

His only effort was to deliver the water now. He had no other desire, until the arrow of cruelty struck the water-skin of Sakina.

Arrow upon arrow rained down; the shoulders of the Ghazi were severed. Abbas fell on the battlefield, calling out, 'Come to my aid, O son of Zehra!'

Aake Laashe Pe Ghire Shahedi Rote Hue Phir Yeh Farmane Lage Chod Gaye Tum Bhi Hame Daste Bala Me Tanha

The King of Faith (Hussain) came and fell upon the body, weeping. Then he began to say, 'You too have left me alone in this desert of calamity.'
