Zainul aba jahan se gaye wa musibata

Baqir ka sar hay aaj khula waa musibata

Imam Sajjad has left this world – what grief!

Today Imam Baqir has become an orphan – what grief!

Dada to mera zabha huwa tegh se Hussain

Baba ko mere zehr diya waa musibata

My grandfather Hussain was slaughtered thirsty

My father was given poison to kill him – what grief!

Markaz pe jaa ke aaj ke aaj kahuga rasul se

Wali mera koyi na raha, waa musibata

I will complain to the Holy Prophet on the day of Judgement

My father was snatched away from me – what grief!

Ja kar kahuga Fatema ki mei mazaar par

Pota bhi tera aaj muwa waa musibata

I will go to my Grandmother Fatima’s grave and lament to her

Your grandson was made an orphan today – what grief
