Aa Dekh Mere Ghazi

Keeping screen awake…

aa dekh mere ghazi, uncha hai alam tera

Come and see, my Ghazi (Abbas (as)), your flag still flies high!

dil sine me jab tak hai bhulega na gham tera

As long as there's a heart in my chest, your sorrow will never be forgotten!

aa dekh mere ghazi, uncha hai alam tera

Come and see, my Ghazi (Abbas (as)), your flag still flies high!

zainab ki duwa bankar, ek waqt wo aayenga

har ghar me saja hoga, abbas alam tera

Through Zaynab's (as) prayers, a time will surely come

When in every home, Abbas's (as) flag will be adorned.

dil sine me jab tak hai, bhulega na gham tera

aa dekh mere ghazi, uncha hai alam tera

As long as there's a heart in my chest, your sorrow will never be forgotten!

Come and see, my Ghazi (Abbas (as)), your flag still flies high!

aajati hai zahra bhi, zainab bhi ziyarat ko

jab aat moharam ko, ut-tha hai alam tera

Even Fatima (as) and Zaynab (as) come for pilgrimage

When on the 8th of Muharram, your flag is raised!

dil sine me jab tak hai bhulega na gham tera

aa dekh mere ghazi, uncha hai alam tera

As long as there's a heart in my chest, your sorrow will never be forgotten!

Come and see, my Ghazi (Abbas (as)), your flag still flies high!

jab beh gaya sab paani, tab aas teri tooti

tha sine ke andar ya, mashkizay may dam tera

When all the water spilled, your hope was shattered!

Was your breath truly within your chest, or was your very life in that water-skin?

dil sine me jab tak hai bhulega na gham tera

aa dekh mere ghazi, uncha hai alam tera

As long as there's a heart in my chest, your sorrow will never be forgotten!

Come and see, my Ghazi (Abbas (as)), your flag still flies high!
