Farewell, farewell, farewell, Oh Hussain!
These sounds of lamentation and these gatherings,
The decor of matam, noha and sorrow…
How I wish these hearts would always remain in this state!
Ah, my heart breaks, how can I bring myself to say….
Farewell…..
Oh my Guest, this is my last salutation,
That I be sacrificed for you! This is my last salutation….
Oh King of the Dignified! This is my last salutation…
My heart is empty, as this is my last salutation….
Farewell….
May any mistakes be forgiven,
I could not serve you as you so deserve,
It hurts me that I could not do matam till my heart was content,
For your sake why could I not have given my own head….
Farewell….
If I live another year, I will grieve again,
Everyone together will cry in your sorrow again,
But even if I die, this will always live on….
Oh, but what a shame, I didn't cry till my heart was content….
Farewell…..
Farewell, oh Hussain, oh Hussain, farewell,
Farewell, oh King of the East and West, farewell!
Oh, the light of Ahmed's daughter's eyes, farewell!
On Mujahid's lips is the cry of farewell….
