Pukari Banu e Muztar, Sakina dafn hoti hay

Utho ay Qasimo Akbar, Sakina dafn hoti hai

Banu was lamenting – my daughter Sakina is being buried

Come! O Qasim! O Akber! – Sakina is being burried

Kahan ho Fatema Zehra, Kaleja phat gaya mera

Bahu ko tham lo aa kar, Sakina dafn hoti hai

Where are you Fatima Zahra, my heart is broken

Come comfort your daughter in law – Sakina is being burried

Kafan ke waste paya, Bada ka ek phata kurta

Koi waris nahi sar par, Sakina dafn hoti hai

Her shroud was her tattered and torn clothes

There is no supporter to help us – Sakina is being burried

Khuda ke waste beta, Mujhe bhi sath do dafna

Akeli kya karun ji kar, Sakina dafn hoti hai

For Allah’s sake, burry me with my daughter

What do I have to live for now that I’m all alone – Sakina is being burried

Khade karte ho kya logo, Sab aa kar fateha pad lo

Mujhe pursa do ro ro kar, Sakina dafn hoti hai

Why are you just watching O people? Come recite Fatiha for her

Give me condolences as I grieve – Sakina is being burried
