Keeping screen awake…
abbas qatl hogaye mehshar huwaa bapaa
Abbas (as) has been martyred! It was as if the Day of Judgment had erupted!
bekas imaam hogaye bhaayi huwaa judaa
The Imam (Husayn (as)) is left alone, his brother has been separated [from him]!

Abbas (as) has been martyred! It was as if the Day of Judgment had erupted!
ab khatm hai laraayi alamdaar chalbasaa
doray imaam kehte huwe haaye kyaa huwaa
Now the battle is over, the flag bearer (Abbas (as)) has passed away!
The Imam (Husayn (as)) rushed [to him], crying, "Oh, what has happened?!"
pohnche jo girte padte to dekhaa yeh haal zaar
shaane qalam hai sher hai zakhmi padaa huwaa
He stumbled and fell as he arrived, only to see such a pitiable state.
His arms are severed, the lion (Abbas (as)) lies wounded.
bole lipatke ghaazi se kuchh to karo kalaam
kyaa haal hogayaa mere bhaayi yeh kyaa huwaa
He embraced the Ghazi (Abbas (as)) and pleaded, "Please, say something!"
What state has befallen you, my brother? What has happened?!
kyun aankh khol kar hame tum dekhte nahin
abbas bole teer hai maulaa lagaa huwaa
Why don't you open your eyes and look at me?
Abbas (as) replied, "My Master, an arrow has struck [my eye]."
pyaasi sakinaa se mai bohot sharmsaar hun
afsos hai ke waadaa na mujhse wafaa huwa
I am deeply ashamed before thirsty Sakina (as).
It is a regret that I could not fulfill my promise.
