Jab karbala ki shaam mei koyi nahi raha, Ai shaam-e-gharibaan
mazloom-e-karbala ka sar tan se tha juda ai shaam-e- gharibaan
Khaak urh rahi thi khaymo mei, zainab thi berida ai shaam-e-gharibaan
rone ki pit ne ki aati rahi sadaa ai shaam-e-gharibaan
(Ai shaam-e-gharibaan) x6

2. (Haay karbala ki shaam ka manzar ajib tha) x2
