Where were you Furaat on that day of Ashura?

Your tears flowed on the sand, but you spared none for Husayn 

You abandoned him for three days

But you spared none for Husayn

1.

Akber's adhaan rang out so clear that day in Karbala

The tents were sobbing loudly but you spared none for Husayn

2.

Aun and Muhammad rode into the battlefield so brave

Their mother's tears saved Islam but you spared none for Husayn

3.

Akber pleaded with his father for just a sip to drink

You even served the horses but you spared none for Husayn

4.

Asghar lay on the burning sand licking his lips so parched

Rubaab's tears flowed so freely but you spared none for Husayn

5.

Abbas rode out to see you to fulfil Ruqayya's wish

The mashk spilt on the sand but you spared none for Husayn 

6.

They set the tents on fire on Shaame Gharibaa

Ruqayya wept fearfully but you spared none for Husayn

7.

Hur's wife brings you to the camp on Shaame Gharibaa

A cup-full for Ruqayya but you spared none for Husayn
