Utha koi janaza, fir Fatema ke ghar se

Dunya tadap rahi hay, Faryaad ki asar se

Another corpse is being lifted in the house of Fatima

The earth is trembling in grief

Kya zehr tha ke chira, yun sina e Hassan ko

Kat kat ke gir rahe the, tukde dilo jigar ke

What sort of poison was given to Imam Hasan

That his liver is being cut into pieces

Baade rasul aisa, dushman huwa zamana

Zahra ke ladle ki, mayyat pe teer barse

After the Prophet the people became so oppressive

They fired arrows at the corpse of his grandson

Kabre Rasool tadpi, tharra gaya Madina

Aansu lahu ke tapke, Zahra ke chashmo tarse

The Prophets grave shook as a silence fell over Medina

Zahra cried tears of blood for her son

Kya inqelaab aaya, sibte nabi ka laasha

Pehla-u Mustafa mein, do gaz zameen ko tarse

Tabut se lipat kar Shabbir ayse tadpe

Jaise abhi utha hai, Saya Ali ka sar se

Imam Hussain wept so bitterly on the corpse of his brother

As much as he did when his father Ali was murdered

Neendh aagayi hai shayad, aaghoshe Fatema mei

Zapki nahi thi aankhe, Shabbar ne raat bharke

Ehle haram na jana, bache ne jaan de di

Ghas kar gaye the Qasim, lipte huwe pidar se
