Wah Mere Laal Abbas Abbas Abbas

Oh, my beloved son, Abbas, Abbas, Abbas.

Ghazi Abbas Ko Deke Dee(n) Ka Alam Bole Sibt-E-Nabi Mera Ik Kaam Kar Mere Bazu Alamdar-E-Shaah-E-Wafa Ay Ghani-O-Sakhi Mera Ik Kaam Kar Ay Khuda-E-Wafa Sayyeada Ki Dua Jurraton Ke Wali Mera Ik Kaam Kar Ay Sabke Wali Ay Meri Zindagi Misle Naade Ali Mera Ik Kaam Kar Chahta Hai Ye Shabbir Bhai Mere Aaj Tak Tera Jaaho Hasham Dekhle Is Tarah Shamiyon Se Tu Kar Guftagoo Lahjaye Haidery Ka Bharam Dekhle Ab Ye Parda Utha Inko Jaake Bata Azme Shabbir Azme Hussaini Hai Kya Hum Muhafiz Hai Quran-O-Islam Ke Kis Liye Aaya Hai Bar Sare Karbala Bol Aise Ke Khaliq Ko Kehna Pare Zate Haider Ke Aqqas Kya Baat Hai Aaj Nehje Balagha Ka Khaliq Kahe Wah Mere Laal Abbas Kya Baat Hai Zaate Haider Ke Aqqas Kya Baat Hai Mere Ghazi Jari Teri Kya Baat Hai

Giving the standard of the Faith to Ghazi Abbas, The Prophet's grandson said, 'Do one task for me. My arm, the standard-bearer of the King of Loyalty, Oh Generous and Bountiful one, do one task for me. Oh God of Loyalty, prayer of Sayyeda (Fatima), Guardian of courage, do one task for me. Oh Guardian of all, oh my life, Like the Nadi Ali, do one task for me. This is what your brother Shabbir desires, That today they see your glory and majesty. Speak to the Syrians in such a way, That they witness the awe of the Haidery (Ali-like) tone. Now lift this veil and go tell them, What is the resolve of Shabbir, the resolve of Hussaini. We are the protectors of the Quran and Islam, Why have we come to the plains of Karbala? Speak in such a way that the Creator Himself must say, 'Oh reflection of Haider's essence, what a marvel you are.' Today, let the Creator of the Nahj al-Balagha say, 'Oh my beloved son Abbas, what a marvel you are.' Oh reflection of Haider's essence, what a marvel you are, My brave Ghazi, what a marvel you are.

Wah Mere Laal Abbas Kya Baat Hai Mere Ghazi Jari Tere Kya Baat Hai

Oh my beloved son Abbas, what a marvel you are, My brave Ghazi, what a marvel you are.

Baat Aqa Ki Ghazi Ne Jis Dam Suni Daftan Sher Ne Ek Angraee Li Shaam Ki Fauji Mein Mach Gayi Khalbali Log Kehne Lage Aa Gayi Kya Ali Aur Roohe Ali Muskurane Lagi

The moment the Ghazi heard the Master's words, Suddenly, the Lion stretched himself. Chaos erupted in the Syrian army, People began to ask, 'Has Ali returned?' And the soul of Ali began to smile.

Bole Abbas Ye Lashkare Shaam Se Wo Jo Waqif Nahi Hai Mere Naam Se Ba Khabar Wo Nahi Apne Anjaam Se Munsalik Mei Bhi Hu(n) Unke Paighaam Se Yu(n) Nawaza Mujhe Sheh Ne Inaam Se

Abbas said to the army of Syria, 'Those who are not aware of my name, They are unaware of their own fate. I am also connected to their message, This is how the King (Hussain) has blessed me with this reward.'

Mei Bataawu Tumhe Kon Shabbir Hai Aqse Islam Quran Ki Tafseer Hai Khuld Baagh-E-Iram Uski Jageer Hai Uske Qadmo(n) Tale Hurr Ki Taqdeer Hai Mere Baare Mei Uski Ye Taqreer Hai

Shall I tell you who Shabbir is? He is the reflection of Islam, the interpretation of the Quran. Paradise and the gardens of Iram are his inheritance. The destiny of Hurr lies beneath his feet. This is his declaration regarding me.

Ye Ghulaami Ye Sheh Ka Sharaf Hai Mila Malkae Khuld Ne Mujh Ko Beta Kaha Naam Abbas Zainab Ne Mera Rakha Jhula Shabbir Ne Hai Jhulaya Mera Phir Hasan Ne Gale Se Laga Kar Kaha

This servitude, this honor of the King, I have received. The Queen of Paradise (Fatima) called me her son. Zainab gave me the name Abbas. Shabbir swung my cradle. Then Hasan embraced me and said...

Pyaas Bacho(n) Ki Laayi Yaha Tak Mujhe Mashk Ek Bhar Ke Le Jaawunga Neher Se Mere Aaqa Ne Roka Laraayi Se Hai Warna Roke Mujhe Hosla Hai Kise Mei Hu Betab Sunlo Yahi Ek Sada

The thirst of the children brought me here, I will take a filled water-skin from the river. My Master has stopped me from fighting, Otherwise, who has the courage to stop me? I am restless, listen to this one cry.

Jab Mukammal Huwa Zindagi Ka Safar Bola Shabbir Se Bawafa Nehr Par Apne Pairo(n) Pe Rakh Lijiye Mera Sar Khush Ho Ummul Banee(n) Jab Sune Ye Khabar Mere Bete Se Shabbir Ne Keh Diya

When the journey of life was complete, The loyal one said to Shabbir at the riverbank, 'Place my head upon your feet.' May Ummul Banin be pleased when she hears this news, Shabbir said to my son...

Haay "Rehan-O-Sarwar" Ajab Waqt Tha Hoke Be Dast Jab Mera Ghazi Ghira Bawafa Ka Alam Khu(n) Mei Tar Hogaya Ruh-E-Zehra Pukaari Sar-E-Karbala Tune Saqqayi Ka Haq Ada Kar Diya

Alas, 'Rehan and Sarwar', it was a strange time, When my Ghazi fell, having lost his hands. The standard of the loyal one became soaked in blood. The soul of Zehra cried out at the head of Karbala, 'You have fulfilled the right of being the water-bearer.'
