Hai karbala ke bann mein ghareebon ka arba'een
Shabbir ke mazaar pe Zainab ki hai jabeen
Aansoon bahaa rahey hain khadey Abid-e-hazeen
Aabaad thi Hussain ke khadmon se ye zameen
Ab haal ye hai sar pe koyi saayebaan nahin
Hai karbala ke bann mein ghareebon ka arba'een
Bhaiya hamare waade ki takmeel ho gayi
Aisa safar hua hai ke sar par rida na thi
Darbar-e-shaam mein thi khayamath ki bebasi
Rudaad-e-gham sunaane ki taakhath bhi ab nahi
Hai karbala ke bann mein ghareebon ka arba'een
Maa jaye pehle aag lagi khaimagaah mein
Har gaam ek taaza qayamath thi raah mein
Bachi ki hichkiyon ka hai manzar nigaah mein
Zindaan-e-shaam mein hai Sakina yahaan nahin
Hai karbala ke bann mein ghareebon ka arba'een
Laila tadap rahi hai ke dilbar nahin raha
Lakhthe jigar shabeeh-e-payamber nahin raha
Roney ko ma tho reh gayi Akbar nahin raha
Chehlum jawaan bete ka aur aur maadar-e-hazeen
Hai karbala ke bann mein ghareebon ka arba'een
Abbas-e-naamwar jo harum ka tha paasbaan
Rothi thi yaad karke jise saari bibiyaan
Be aas jiski laash pe the shah-e-do jahan
Laasha kahin tha haath kahin aur alam kahin
Hai karbala ke bann mein ghareebon ka arba'een
Shabbir ke mazaar pe Zainab ki hai jabeen
Aansoon bahaa rahey hain khadey Abid-e-hazeen
Aabaad thi Hussain ke khadmon se ye zameen
Ab haal ye hai sar pe koyi saayebaan nahin
Hai karbala ke bann mein ghareebon ka arba'een
