Abbas Tera Haq Hai

Mir Takallum

TRANSLATION

Abbas, Abbas, Abbas

Abbas, it is your right that the world cries for you

When day and night Fatima Zahra weeps for you

Abbas, it is your right that the world cries for you

When the tyrant stands guard with lashes in hand

How can Sakina weep over your body?

Abbas, it is your right that the world cries for you

When the young man’s body couldn’t be lifted

At that moment, our master wept for you more than Akbar

Abbas, it is your right that the world cries for you

Zainab said, “O Ghazi, on Sham-e-ghareeban (the night of the orphans),

Seeing me without veil made my father cry for you”

Abbas, it is your right that the world cries for you

When using his hands to support him in sujood,

Sajjad always weeps for you on his prayer mat

Abbas, it is your right that the world cries for you

O how you fell from the horse without hands

Hearing this, the people in Madina wept for you

Abbas, it is your right that the world cries for you

The waterskin is somewhere, your body and arms elsewhere

Where will Fatima Zahra go to weep for you?

Abbas, it is your right that the world cries for you

The tears Sakina held back for you,

Sajjad now sheds at your silent grave

Abbas, it is your right that the world cries for you

O moon of the Hashemite, Why wouldn’t your lovers cry for you—

While reciting the Surah of the Sun (Surah ash-Shams)?

Abbas, it is your right that the world cries for you

I wish my eyes bled tears

May Mir Takallum (the poet) one day mourn for you like this

When day and night Fatima Zahra weeps for you

Abbas, it is your right that the world cries for you
