Karte hai matam haram Abbas ka

Hogaya Marna Sitam Abbas Ka

The household is lamenting Abbas – Abbas is no longer

Haye labe nehr hua kya gazab

Aagaya honton pedam Abbas ka

O what a tragedy occurred at the river bank - Abbas’s soul has departed this world 

Shahe madina ki kamar juk gayi

Jab hua bazu qalam Abbas ka

Imam Hussain’s back broke – when the hands of Abbas were cut

Kehte he roro ke ye ehle haram

Aata hay zakhmi alam Abbas ka

The holy household were weeping lamenting that the alam of Abbas was being brought back

Toot gayi baali Sakina ki aas 

Hogaya bazu qalam Abbas ka

The hopes of Sakina were broken when the hands of Abbas were cut
