Allah Kya Jigar Tha Janaabe Hussain Ka

Khun tha Sabil Rahe Khuda me Husain ka

Oh Allah, what heart Imam Hussain showed

Hussains blood was spilt in Allahs name

Zehra pukarti hai ke faryad ya Khuda

Mera Husain dhoop ke andar hai jal raha

Zahra was crying out complaining to Allah

My dear Hussain is burning in the sun

Batlao me satata hu ya tum satate ho

Mei to Duae deta hu tum Dil Jalate ho

Tell me, am I the oppressor or are you?

On the contrary I am praying for you while you hurt us

Darya bhi rodiya hai samandar bhi rodiya

Nazuk ghale ko dekh ke khanjar bhi rodiya

The river and its banks were brought to tears

Looking at the parched neck of Imam, the blunt dagger cried as well

Kafir talak piye na tum mana kijiyo

Ek fatema ke laal ko paani na dijiyo

Don’t refuse even the disbeliever to quench their thirst

Just  ensure the son of Fatima remains thirsty
