Teer Se Aise Chuda Sookha Gala Asghar Ka

The parched throat of Asghar was pierced by an arrow in such a way

Ae Maa Ke Laadle Baba Ke Sahare Behno Ke Dulare Ae Chhe Mahine Wale

O beloved of your mother, support of your father, Darling of your sisters, O six-month-old

Munh Khula Reh Gaya Khoon Behta Raha Asghar Ka Teer Jab Kheencha Toh Munh Pher Liya Rote Hue Zakhm Shabbir Se Dekha Na Gaya Asghar Ka

His mouth remained open, Asghar's blood kept flowing. When the arrow was pulled out, he turned his face away weeping, Shabbir could not bear to look at the wound of Asghar

Aasman Kaanp Gaya Aur Zameen Rone Lagi Baap Ne Chehre Pe Jab Khoon Mala Asghar Ka

The sky trembled and the earth began to weep, When the father smeared the blood of Asghar upon his own face

Pusht Ke Chalon Se Tar Hone Lagi Jalti Zameen Shah Ne Qabr Mein Jab Lasha Rakha Asghar Ka

The burning earth began to dampen from the blisters on his back, When the King (Hussain) placed the body of Asghar into the grave

Teer Ke Baad Lahad Mein Use Neza Maara Haaye... Neza Maara Qatl Ek Roz Mein Do Baar Asghar Ka

After the arrow, they struck him with a spear in the grave, Alas... they struck him with a spear, Asghar was killed twice in a single day

Haaye... Saath Baar Aage Badhe Peeche Hate Shah Lekin Lasha Khaimon Mein Na Le Jaya Gaya Asghar Ka

Alas... The King moved forward and stepped back seven times, but, The body of Asghar was not taken back to the tents

Kheencha Neze Se Badan Aur Zameen Par Rakh Kar Hans Ke Zaalim Ne Gala Kaat Liya Asghar Ka

He pulled the body from the spear and placed it on the ground, Laughing, the tyrant slit the throat of Asghar

Haaye... Ek Khilone Ki Tarah Khela Uchala Phenka Shaam Ke Bachon Ko Sar Jab Bhi Mila Asghar Ka

Alas... Like a toy, they played with it, tossed it, and threw it, Whenever the children of Shaam found the head of Asghar

Kaise Zeeshan Bayan Koi Kare Pyaas Uski Khushk Lab Ho Gaye Jab Naam Liya Asghar Ka

How can anyone, Zeeshan, describe his thirst? My lips went dry the moment I took the name of Asghar
