Shaahe abraar kuja, Shimr Sitamgaar Kuja
Gardan e Shaah Kuja, Khanjar e be-pir kuja
Seene Shabbir Kuja, Khanjar khunkhaar kuja
Makhzan e Asraar kuja, Zaanu e ghaddar Kuja
Aale athaar kuja, Fikra e kuffar kuja
Sili e Shimr Kuja, Sakina e Zaar kuja
Gul e Zanjeer Kuja, Abid e Bimaar kuja
Zainab e zaar kuja – kucha o bazaar kuja
Aale athaar kuja – majma e sharrab kuja
Tok o zanjeer kuja – Aabid e bimaar kuja
Azchahe khalkaan e jahaa Adam o Hawwa
Wa sulaiman, zabihullahe kurbaan – Digar yusuf e kinaan
Digar khatme Rasoolan – sharifaan wa amiraan
Diggar janna o Rizwan, Digar Hura o Dimaan
Hamaa aaho fighaanand – Hama Nawha kunaanand
Hama sina zanaanand – Mam madaanam chee kunam
Waa-aay Hussainam Hussain
Gawhare wala nizam
Hazrate Dara-e-naam
Zaada e shehre khuda
Shafiye roze jazaa
Ay Shaheed e karbala
Hamshabihe Murtaza
Shaahe abraar kuja, Shimr Sitamgaar Kuja
Where is The master of the free (Imam Hussain) compared to where Shimr the damned is
Gardan e Shaah Kuja, Khanjar e be-pir kuja
Where is the neck of Imam Hussain compared to where the poisoned dagger that beheaded him is
Seene Shabbir Kuja, Khanjar khunkhaar kuja
Where is the chest of Imam Hussain compared to where the blood drenched sword is
Makhzan e Asraar kuja, Zaanu e ghaddar Kuja
Where is the holy chest of Imam compared to where the foot that's stepping on it is
Aale athaar kuja, Fikra e kuffar kuja
Where is the holy household compared to where the congregation of the enemies
Sili e Shimr Kuja, Sakina e Zaar kuja
Where is the torment of Shimr la compared to where the pure Sakina sa is
Gul e Zanjeer Kuja, Abid e Bimaar kuja
Where are the heavy shackles compared to the holy neck of Imam Sajjad
Zainab e zaar kuja – kucha o bazaar kuja
Where is the noble Zainab sa compared to the streets and bazaar of Shaam
Aale athaar kuja – majma e sharrab kuja
Where is the pure holy household compared to the congregation of alcoholics
Tok o zanjeer kuja – Aabid e bimaar kuja
Where are the shackles and chains compared to our Holy Imam Sajjad
Azchahe khalkaan e jahaa Adam o Hawwa
Wa sulaiman, zabihullahe kurbaan – Digar yusuf e kinaan
Digar khatme Rasoolan – sharifaan wa amiraan
Diggar janna o Rizwan, Digar Hura o Dimaan
Hamaa aaho fighaanand – Hama Nawha kunaanand
Hama sina zanaanand – Mam madaanam chee kunam
Why are all creations: the universe, Adam (as) and Eve (sa), Suleiman (as), Ismail (as), Joseph (as) of Canaan, the last Prophet (as), the great leaders and commanders, the heavens and its keepers, the angels, and the demons; all crying, reciting eulogies, lamenting, and beating their chests? I don’t know what to do!
Waa-aay Hussainam Hussain
Oh my Hussain - Hussain
Gawhare wala nizam
Oh high ranking gem
Hazrate Dara-e-naam
His highness who has a reputation with Allah
Zaada e shehre khuda
Son of the Lion of Allah
Shafiye roze jazaa
Intercessor on the day of Judgement
Ay Shaheed e karbala
Oh the Martyr of Karbala
Hamshabihe Murtaza
The one who resembled the Holy Prophet
