Sar ko jhuka kar qabr pe akar rote rehte hein  Chup ke chupke jane kya kya maula kehte hein Thubbat alaiya ki he sadaaein marqad ke andar
With his head bowed down he comes crying to the grave
In a whispering voice, I don’t know what he is saying  Thubbat alaiya (difficulties on me) is echoing through the grave

The heavens of God shivered, the face of religion has become pale  The sands are filled with blood and the stones are crying
