Ya Hasan Ya Hasan Haye Hasan Ya Hasan Askari

O Hasan, O Hasan, alas Hasan, O Hasan Askari.

Bhejiye Bete Ko Maula Muntazir Hai Matami

Send your son, O Master, the mourners are waiting.

Ya Imame Askari

O Imam-e-Askari.

Daastane Zulm Maula Ab Jahan Se Khatm Ho Jab Talak Mehdi Na Aaye Rokhdije Waqt Ko Al-Ajal Kehke Guzarti Jaa Rahi Hai Har Sadi

May the tale of oppression, O Master, now end from this world. Until Mehdi arrives, halt the passage of time. Every century is passing by, crying out 'Al-Ajal' (Hasten, O Master).

Zaalimo Ne Zehr Maula Aapko Aisa Diya Dast-O-Pa Ke Nakhoono Se Khoon Jari Hogaya Aapki Ghurbat Ko Dekha Yaade Shabbar Aagayi

The oppressors gave you such poison, O Master, That blood began to flow from the nails of your hands and feet. Seeing your loneliness brought back the memory of Shabbar (Imam Hasan).

Dafn Sheh Ne Jis Tarha Se Apne Asghar Ko Kiya Aagaya Nazron May Haaye Manzare Karbobala Apni Turbat Aap Ne Jo Ghar May Khud Tayyar Ki

The way the King (Hussain) buried his own Asghar, Alas, the scene of Karbala appeared before my eyes, (Especially) as you prepared your own grave inside your house.

Yun To Saara Saamra Tha Rone Walon May Magar Haye Bhai Kehke Roye Koi Teri Laash Par Ek Behan Zainab Ke Jaisi Kaash Ke Hoti Teri

Though all of Samarra was among the mourners, yet, (I wish) someone had wept over your funeral bier crying 'Alas, my brother!' I wish you had a sister like Zainab.

Ghar May Daakhil Hogaye Thay Zulm Dhane Ke Liye Pursa Dene Ke Bajaye Qatl Karne Ke Liye Dhoondte Thay Charo Jaanib Tere Mehdi Ko Shaqi

They entered your house to inflict oppression, Instead of offering condolences, they came to kill, The wretched ones were searching in all directions for your Mehdi.

Pardaye Ghaibat May Mehdi Bhi Tadap Kar Rehgaya Gyara Sadiyon Baad Ye Phir Se Sitam Dhaya Gaya Aapke Roze Ka Girna Hai Shahadat Doosri

Behind the veil of occultation, even Mehdi was left in agony, Eleven centuries later, this oppression was inflicted once again, The destruction of your shrine is a second martyrdom.

Madare Shabbir Ka Tameer Roza Dekhle Ghar May Khaaliq Ke Takallum Sheh Ka Matam Dekh Le Kam Kam Se Itni Badhado Matami Ki Zindagi

Behold the construction of the shrine of the Mother of Shabbir (Fatima), In the house of the Creator, Takallum, behold the mourning for the King (Hussain), Increase the life of the mourner by at least this much.
