Kuch bhi na bachaya apne liye, ummat ko bachane waale ne

Sajde me jukadi peshani, sar apna kataane waale ne

He sacrificed everything he had – the one who saved Islam

He bowed his head in prostration – the one who was beheaded in sajda

Takdeer ki thokar bhi khayi, ghar apna lutane waale ne

Kya sabr kiya kya shukr kiya – Akber ko uthaane waale ne

What tribulations fate had for him, his household was also plundered

What patience he showed, what thanks he gave – the one who had to carry his son Akbar’s corpse

Pani bhi baha khun bhi barsa, shane bhi kate zakhmi bhi huwe

Dil karliya tiron se chalni – mashkiza bachane waale ne

His blood was shed, the waterbag pierced – his arms were severed

His heart was broken with an arrow – the one who tried to save the waterbag

Kismat ne jagaya Asghar ko, pehchaanli baba ki awaaz

Jule ko tadap kar chor diya – maydaan me jaane waale ne

Destiny awoke Asghar as he recognized his father's call for help

He jumped out of his cradle – the one who was carried into the battlefield 

Jule se nikal kar godi mein, godi se humak ke turbat mein

Is tarha banaayi nani si lahad – Asghar ko uthaane waale ne

From the cradle into his fathers arms, from the comfort of his fathers arms into his grave

How did he dig a small grave – the one who had to burry Asghar

Khaimon ka ujaala ghar ka huwa, ashkon se sitaare doob gaye

Aashur ki shab kya kuch na kiya – Shamma ke bhujaane waale ne

The tents were gleaming with light – as the stars wept through the night

What grandeur he displayed on the night before Ashura – the one who extinguished the candles

Imaan ki ziya jab tez huwi, roke se bhalaa Hur kya rukte

Baatil ki taraf se mun modhna – firdos me jaane waale ne

When his faith was finally tested, Hur had tears in his eyes

He turned his face from evil – the one who rode towards paradise
