Karbal Ki Kahani Jab - With English Translation

Karbal ki kahaani jab, koi bhi Sunaye ga
Whenever someone recited the story of Karbala

Dil walo ke ankho se Ek darya bahaaye ga.
Those with a heart weep uncontrollably

Wo Qafela sarwar ka, jo shaan se nikla tha
Hussain's caravan seemed magnificent when it left

Sughra ko khabar kya thi, na lot ke aaye ga.
Sughra didn't know, it was never coming back

Mehmaan bulaya hai, ay kufiyo sarwarko
The residents of Kufa! You have invited Hussain as your guest

Kya kumba shahe deen ka, paani nahi payega.
The Family of Hussain didn't even get water

Zehra Zehra pursa lo bahater ka
Zahra accept our condolences for the 72

Paamal huwa Kaasim, jab ghoro ki taapo se
Qasim was trampled by the hoofs of horses

Kis tarha chacha teri, mayyat ko uthaye ga.
How will he give a funeral to Hussain?

Zehra Zehra Qasim ka bhi pursa lo
Zahra accept our condolences for Qasim

Tha hatho ke katne ka, kuch gham na dilawar ko
Hussain had no sorrow over sacrificing his arms

Saydaniyo ka parda, ab kon bachaye ga
He was distraught over who will protect the ladies' hijabs

Zehra Zehra Abbas ka pursa lo
Zahra accept our condolences for Abbas

Tooti hai qamar sheh ki, ghabra Na mager Akber
Hussain's back is broken but don't be alarmed Akbar

Farzande nabi teri, mayyat ko uthaye ga.
The son of The Prophet will retrieve your body

Zehra Zehra Akber ka bhi pursa lo
Zahra accept our condolences for Akbar too

Sote hee na thay Asghar, juhlay me tarapte thay
Asghar couldn't sleep, he was trembling in his cot

Mader ko khaber kya thi, ek teer sulaaye ga.
What did his mother know that an arrow would make him sleep

Zehra Zehra Asghar ka bhi pursa lo
Zahra accept our condolences for Asghar

Ashaab ne dam tora, Shabbir ke zanu par
Hussain comforted all his companions in their final moments

Kis zaanu par sar apna, Shabbir kataayenga?
Who will offer Hussain a shoulder when Hussain is being slaughtered?

Sarwar ne uthae thay, sab saathiyo ke laashe
Hussain retrieved the bodies of all his supporters

Shabbir tera laasha, ab kon uthayen ga
Who will retrieve Hussain's body?

Zehra Zehra Shabbir ka pursa lo
Zahra accept our condolences for Hussain

Kerbal ki kahaani jab, koi bhi Sunaye ga
Whenever someone recited the story of Karbala

Dil walo ke ankho se Ek darya bahaaye ga.
Those with a heart weep uncontrollably
