Alamdar Alamdar - Alamdar Alamdar

The Standard-Bearer, the Standard-Bearer.

Mara Gaya Darya Pe Alamdar Sakina Sheh Bole Mera Kon Hai Gham Khwar Sakina

The Standard-Bearer has been slain at the river, Sakina. The King (Hussain) cried out, 'Who is left to share my grief, Sakina?'

Arman Tha Ghazi Ka Pilaye Tujhe Paani Mashkeeza Chida Bujh Na Saki Tashna Dahani Louta Nahi Darya Se Alamdar Sakina

It was the Ghazi's deepest wish to give you water, But the water-skin was pierced, and your thirst could not be quenched. The Standard-Bearer did not return from the river, Sakina.

Kuch Der Me Hum Tumse Bhichad Jayenge Beti Phir Laut Ke Wapes Na Kabhi Ayenge Beti Hone Ko Hain Zakhmi Tere Rukhsar Sakina

In a little while, I will be parted from you, my daughter, And I will never return to you again, my daughter. Your cheeks are destined to be wounded, Sakina.

Ghazi Ki Wasiyat Hai Yahi Aye Mere Aaqa Khaimon Me Na Le Jayiye Abbas Ka Lasha Sharminda Hai Yun Tujhse Alamdar Sakina

This is the final wish of the Ghazi, 'O my Master, Do not bring the body of Abbas back to the tents.' He is ashamed before you, Sakina.

Kuza Liye Takti Ho Badi Aas Lagaye Ab Koyi Nahin Hai Jo Teri Pyaas Bujhaye Kousar Pe Sajegi Teri Sarkar Sakina

Holding your water-pot, you gaze with such great hope, But there is no one left to quench your thirst. Your court will be adorned at the Fountain of Kousar, Sakina.

Duniyañ Se Gaya Leke Ye Hasrat Tera Saqqa Ab Tujhko Mayassar Kahan Bahon Ka Wo Jhoola Karta Tha Bahut Ghazi Tujhe Pyaar Sakina

Your Saqqa (water-bearer) has departed the world with this longing, Where will you find the cradle of his arms now? The Ghazi used to love you so much, Sakina.

Ab Tujhko Suye Shaam Safar Karna Padega Har Mod Pe Har Koi Sitam Tujhpe Karega Jeena Tera Hojayega Dushwaar Sakina

Now you must travel towards Shaam (Damascus), At every turn, everyone will inflict cruelty upon you, Living will become difficult for you, Sakina.

Jab Shame Ghareeban Me Meri Lash Pe Aana Darya Ki Taraf Jake Na Ammu Ko Jagana Tarpe Ga Tere Gham Me Wafadar Sakina

When you come to my body on the evening of the homeless (Shame Ghareeban), Do not go towards the river to wake your Uncle (Ammu). The loyal one will writhe in pain for your grief, Sakina.

Shabbir Jo Kehte The Sakina Se Ye Qaisar Aur Uski Nigahen Thi Hasan Rahe Wafa Per Ab Laut Ke Aayega Na Jarrar Sakina

As Shabbir (Hussain) said this to Sakina, O Qaisar, And his gaze remained fixed on the path of loyalty, 'The brave warrior will not return now, Sakina.'
