bandha ke aas mukaddar ne dil hee tod diya
kadam kadam pe sahaaro ne saath chhod diya
ya ilaahee bhej de muskil usha vaalo ko aaj
ya ilaahee bhej de muskil usha vaalo ko aaj
kaatima jahara ke pyaare kar bala vaalo ko aaj
ya ilaahee bhej de muskil usha vaalo ko aaj

unase hee ab aah lagee hai gam ke is tuphan mein
unase hee ab aah lagee hai gam ke is tuphan mein
ghunt na jaaye saans meree umeed ke aramaan mein
umeed ke aramaan mein
yaad karati hu mohamad us toopha vaalo ko aaj
ya ilaahee bhej de muskil usha vaalo ko aaj

jindagi rusava huee ab mujh se jiya jaata nahin
jindagi rusava huee ab mujh se jiya jaata nahin
jahar gam ab to kisee ko rut kiya jaata nahee
ab to jiya jaata nahin
khaash ho jaaye khabar vo re khuda vaalo ko aaj
ya ilaahee bhej de muskil usha vaalo ko aaj

Fate, with a cruel hand, shattered the heart,
Each step, the supports crumbled, tearing us apart.
O God, send forth the dawn, the solace we crave,
O God, send forth the dawn, the dawn to save,
For Zahra's loved ones, turn the trials to grace,
O God, send forth the dawn, to this desolate space.

From them, now, a sigh rises in this storm of grief,
From them, now, a sigh rises, beyond belief,
May my breath not be choked by despair's cruel sting,
By hope's fading dreams, may no shadow cling,
I remember Muhammad, through this tempest's rage,
O God, send forth the dawn, upon life's stage.

Life, now disgraced, I can no longer bear,
Life, now disgraced, beyond all compare,
The poison of sorrow, no comfort can find,
No escape, no peace for this weary mind,
May news reach them, those blessed by God's decree,
O God, send forth the dawn, and set my spirit free.
