aajao chand mere teri pyaas mai bujhao
asghar mai teri maa hu
Come, my moon, let me quench your thirst!
Asghar (as), I am your mother!
mere laadle kahan ho, seene tumhe lagaau
asghar me teri maa hu
My beloved, where are you? Let me hold you to my chest!
Asghar (as), I am your mother!
aajao chand mere teri pyaas mai bujhao
asghar mai teri maa hu
Come, my moon, let me quench your thirst!
Asghar (as), I am your mother!
beta tumhara qatil, mere samne khada hai
jaane kyu has raha hai, chadar bhi lut chuki hai
mu kis tarah chupau, asghar mai teri maa hu
My son, your killer stands right before me!
I don't know why he's laughing… And my veil has also been plundered!
How can I hide my face? Asghar (as), I am your mother!
aajao chand mere teri pyaas mai bujhao
asghar mai teri maa hu
Come, my moon, let me quench your thirst!
Asghar (as), I am your mother!
tere jhule ko sakina, ro ro ke chumti hai
tujhe ghar mein dhundhti hai, teri maut ki khabar mai
kaise use sunau, asghar mai teri maa hu
Sakina (as) kisses your cradle, weeping constantly!
She keeps looking for you in the tent… The news of your death…
How can I possibly tell her? Asghar (as), I am your mother!
aajao chand mere teri pyaas mai bujhao
asghar mai teri maa hu
Come, my moon, let me quench your thirst!
Asghar (as), I am your mother!
meri jaan jaa rahi hai, ye soch soch asghar
is phool se gale par, ye teer kaise jhela
behno ko kya batau, asghar mai teri maa hu
My life is ebbing away, just thinking, Asghar (as)…
How did this arrow strike your flower-like throat?
What can I tell your sisters? Asghar (as), I am your mother!
aajao chand mere teri pyaas mai bujhao
asghar mai teri maa hu
Come, my moon, let me quench your thirst!
Asghar (as), I am your mother!
naize se gir raha hai, nanha sa sar tumhara
dil rota hai hamara, mere haath to bandhe hai
sar kis tarha uthau, asghar mai teri maa hu
From the spear, your tiny head is falling!
My heart cries out! But my hands are tied!
How can I pick up your head? Asghar (as), I am your mother!
aajao chand mere teri pyaas mai bujhao
asghar mai teri maa hu
Come, my moon, let me quench your thirst!
Asghar (as), I am your mother!
jhule ke saath beta, mere haath jal gaye hai
zalim bhi has rahe hai, teri akhri nishani
kis tarha se bachau, asghar mai teri maa hu
My son, my hands burned along with your cradle!
The oppressors are laughing… Your last remaining memory…
How can I protect it? Asghar (as), I am your mother!
aajao chand mere teri pyaas mai bujhao
asghar mai teri maa hu
Come, my moon, let me quench your thirst!
Asghar (as), I am your mother!
jab raat hogi ran mein, hojayega andhera
darna nahi aye beta, daadi kahengi tum se
aa mai tujhe sulau, asghar mai teri maa hu
When night falls on the battlefield, and darkness descends…
Don't be afraid, my son! Your grandmother [Fatima (as)] will tell you…
"Come, let me put you to sleep!" Asghar (as), I am your mother!
aajao chand mere teri pyaas mai bujhao
asghar mai teri maa hu
Come, my moon, let me quench your thirst!
Asghar (as), I am your mother!
tum raat ko hamesha, sunte the maa se lori
ab neend aati hogi, phir god mein lita kar
naad e ali sunau, asghar mai teri maa hu
You always used to hear lullabies from your mother at night…
Now, sleep must be coming… Then, taking you in my lap
I would recite the 'Naad-e-Ali' for you! Asghar (as), I am your mother!
aajao chand mere teri pyaas mai bujhao
asghar mai teri maa hu
Come, my moon, let me quench your thirst!
Asghar (as), I am your mother!
