Hazrat Nabi jahan se gaya wa musibata

Sar aaj Fatema ka khula wa musibata

Our Master, the Prophet has been murdered – what grief!

Today Fatima has become an orphan – what grief!

Kehti hay Fatima ke hui mein yatim aaj

Sar par mera pidar na raha wa musibata

Fatima is saying ‘today I become an orphan’

My father hand is no longer over my head – what grief! 

Haider ka kya mein haal kahu woh bhi rote hai

Har dam pukaarte hai woh wa musibata

How can I describe the state of Imam Ali as – he too is heartbroken

Constantly calling out – what grief! 

Yaro qayamat aaj padi hai jahaan mei

Pite khare hay shehr e khuda wa musibata

Friends today judgement day befallen this earth

Imam Ali stands overcome with sorrow - what grief! 

Kehta hai Jibraeel ba daraghe kibriya

Tera Habib jagse gaya wa musibata

Jibraeel is lamenting and weeping at the arsh of Allah

Calling yout, "Your beloved has passed away"

Shehzadi mei jahan ki jo aaj tak rahi

Ab mera sara zor luta wa musibata
