Aa Mere Hussain

Shahid Baltistani

A mother calls out to her son in the desert of Karbala. She mourns his loneliness and the pain he suffered.

Ghurbat Se Maa Ke The Bain, Aa Jaa Mere Hussain, Ghurbat Se Maa Ke The Bain

These are the cries of a mother in exile, come back, my Hussain, these are the cries of a mother in exile.

Aa Mere Hussain Aa Jaa Mere Dil Ke Chain

Come, my Hussain, Come back, the peace of my heart.

Tera Janaza Maqtal Mei Tanha, Mei Rorahi Hun Ghurbat Mei Tanhaa, Tune Uthaaye Laashon Hai Pe Laashe, Kaise Rahe Maa Hai (Mushkil Mei Beta) Maa Hun Mera Baa Hussain, Aa Jaa Mere Hussain

Your funeral lies alone on the battlefield, and I am weeping alone in this exile. You lifted corpse after corpse; how can a mother remain (in such difficulty, my son)? I am your mother, my Hussain, come back, my Hussain.

Chalta Tha Meri Ungli Ko Thaame, Karti Thi Tujpar Maa Chalke Saaye, Tu Dhoop Mei Rehgaya Suw-E-Maqtal, Aajaa Tujhe Maa (Kafan Mei Chupaaye) Mehsuus Kar Maa Ke Bayn, Aa Jaa Mere Hussain

You used to walk while holding my finger, and your mother would cast her shadow over you. You were left in the heat of the battlefield; come, let your mother (hide you in a shroud). Feel your mother's cries, come back, my Hussain.

Tere Gale Par Chalaa Hai Jo Khanjar, Aakar Lagaa Hai Teri Maa Ke Dilpar, Ye Soch Kar Mera Dil Jal Raha Hai, Neze Pe Jaaega (Beta Tera Sar) Pareshan Kiye Maa Ne Bayn, Aa Jaa Mere Hussain

The dagger that ran across your throat has struck your mother's heart. Thinking of this, my heart is burning: that your head will be raised upon a spear. My motherly cries have caused distress, come back, my Hussain.
