Ye sin, ye hashr, ye sadmay naye naye Bibi, Kahan pa baithi ho khayme to jal gaye Bibi
This tender age, this crowding, such pain Where are you sitting? Alas the tents are burnt!

The distant dawn, the long night Where are you in this silent, melancholy night
Zameen garm, yateemi ki sakhtiyan Bibi Wo seena jis pa ke soti theen ab kahan Bibi

Abhi kaleje main ek aag si lagi hogi Abhi to goad ke garmi na kam hui hogi
Your heart is still burning, Your lap is still warm,
nahin andhere main kuch soojhta kidhar dhundhen tmhara chaand kahan chhup gaya kidhar dhundhen
I cannot find anything in this dark night I do not know where your full moon is hidden
na is tarah koi kheti hari bhari ujri tumhari maang bhi ujri hai god bhi ujri
Never has a family so prosperous been destroyed, You have lost your husband as well as your child

Bache to agle baras ham hain aur ye gham phir hai Jo chal base to ye apna Salaam-e-Aaakhir hai
