Haaye Ho Ke Zindaan Se Azad Bint-E- Ali A.s Soo-E-Karbo Bala Karti Matam Chali Ya Hussain A.s ... Pohanchi Jab Karbala Fatima S.a Ki Pali Qabr-E-Shah-E-Shaheedan A.s Pe Aa Ke Ruki Ghodey Ki Zeen Se Jaise Ghazi A.s Girey Aisey Bhai Ki Turbat Pe Zainab S.a Giri Aur Kehny Lagi Merey Mazloom Bekas Bhira

Alas! Having been freed from the prison, the daughter of Ali (a.s.) walked towards Karbala, mourning as she went. Ya Hussain (a.s.)... When the one nurtured by Fatima (s.a.) reached Karbala, she stopped at the grave of the King of Martyrs (a.s.). Just as Ghazi (Abbas) (a.s.) had fallen from his horse's saddle, so did Zainab (s.a.) fall upon her brother's grave, and began to say: 'My oppressed, helpless brother.'

After you, that moment arrived, When your noble head was raised upon a spear, And Shimar (l.a.) snatched away my veil, O my stranger brother.

Rassiyaan De Vich Baniyaan Baanwaa Haaye Sang Bharjaiyaan Banjh Ridawaan Main Shehar Ba Shehar Phirai Vey Pardesiyaa Veeraa

My arms were bound in ropes, Alas, along with my sisters-in-law, without head-coverings, I was paraded from city to city, O my stranger brother.

Haaye Pohnchi Jad Main Shaam Wichaly Haaye Ghar Ghar De Wich Kar Ke Ujaley Ehna Shamiyaan Eid Manai Vey Pardesiyaa Veeraa

Alas, when I reached the midst of Shaam, Alas, having lit up every house (with festivities), These people of Shaam celebrated Eid, O my stranger brother.

Everywhere there was an atmosphere of wine and debauchery, Your sister was without a veil, I was summoned to the court, O my stranger brother.

Ghairataan Wala Putar Muhari Khoon-E-Jigar Akhiyaan Chon Jari Sajjad A.s Na Shaam Bhulai Vey Pardesiyaa Veeraa

Haaye Shimar L.a Diyaan Jhirkaan Ton Dar Gai Wich Zindan Sakina S.a Mar Gai Hik Choley Wich Dafnai Vey Pardesiyaa Veeraa

Alas, frightened by the taunts of Shimar (l.a.), Sakina (s.a.) died in the prison, I buried her in a single garment, O my stranger brother.
