Kahan banu ne waweila, Jawaan Akber gaya mara

Lagaya zulm ka neza, Jawan Akber gaya mara 

Lady Banu was lamenting, the youthful Akbar has been martyred

He was killed by a spear, the youthful Akbar has been martyred

Ali Akbar ko roungi, Khula sar apna pitungi

Na pakdo hath tum mera, Jawan beta gaya mara

I will weep for Ali Akber, I will mourn and hit my head

Don’t hold my hands (to stop me), the youthful Akbar has been martyred

Koi kafni manga lao gale me mere pehnao

Rakhungi sog Akbar ka, Jawan beta mara gaya

Someone please get a shroud for him, let me wear it

I will remain in mourning for Akbar, the youthful Akbar has been martyred

Ghame Akbar me roungi mana kyun karte ho mujhko

Rahungi jab talak zinda, Jawan beta gaya mara

I will weep in the mourning of Akber, why are you stopping me?

I will remain in grief the rest of my life, the youthful Akbar has been martyred
