Aaj Shaheedu'n Ka Hai Chehlum

Aaj Shaheedu'n Ka Hai Chehlum

Farhan Ali Waris

The caravan of the Ahlul Bayt returns to the plains of Karbala on the day of Arbaeen to mourn the martyrs. They gather to remember the sacrifices of Imam Hussain and his companions.

NohaArbaeen

Ho Raha Hai Dasht Mai'n Matam Aaj Shaheedu'n Ka Hai Chehlum Shaam Se Aya Hai Kafila

Mourning is taking place in the desert, Today is the Chehlum (40th day) of the martyrs, The caravan has returned from Shaam (Damascus).

Haye Loot Ka Saman Mila Mil Gai'n Ridae'n Sab Matam e Hussain Ko Taras Gaye The Tashna Lab Ab Kare'n Ji Khool K Matam

Alas, the looted belongings were found, and the veils were recovered, The parched lips had longed for the mourning of Hussain, Now let us mourn with all our hearts.

Haye Be Rida Jo Bibia'n Thi'n Aaj Hui Ba Rida Apne Apne Warisu'n Ko Ro Rhi Hai'n Ghamzada Khone Lga Dasht Ka Aalam

Alas, the ladies who were unveiled are veiled once more today, Grief-stricken, they weep for their respective heirs, The state of the desert has begun to bleed.

Haye Koi Ye Kehne Lgi Haye Mere Bawafa Haye Ali Akbaram Keh K Koi Ro Diya Dil Ye Sadaa Deta Tha Pe Ham

Alas, someone began to say, 'Oh, my loyal one,' And someone wept, crying out, 'Oh, my Ali Akbar,' The heart was calling out to them.

Haye Sani e Zehra Ne Phir Aa K Haram Se Kaha Aiye Sab Mil K Hum Karte Hai'n Majlis Bapa Laiye Abbas Ka Parcham

Alas, the successor of Zehra (Zainab) came and said to the household, 'Come, let us all gather to hold a Majlis (gathering), Bring the standard of Abbas.'

Haye Dasht e Bayaban Se Phir Wo Mukhatib Hui'n Laal o Gohar Sab Mere Kha Gai Teri Zameen Dekh Le Saadat Ka Matam

Alas, she addressed the desolate desert once again, 'Your earth has consumed all my precious gems and pearls, Witness the mourning of the Prophet's progeny.'

Haye Seena Zani Thi Kahi'n Or Kahi'n Shor o Shen Ek Sadaa Chaar Soo Goonj Uthi Ya Hussain Ho Gai Ashkoo'n Se Zamee'n Nam

Alas, there was chest-beating here, and cries of lamentation there, A single call echoed in all four directions: 'Ya Hussain!', The earth became damp with tears.

Haye Bain Ye Fizza K The Karb o Bala Kuch Bta Kese Ruke Aankh Se Ashkoo'n Ki Ye Alqama Kese Kare'n Zabt Bhala Hum

Alas, these were the laments of Fizza: 'Oh Karbala, tell us something, How can the river of tears from our eyes be stopped? How can we possibly restrain ourselves?'

Haye Thaam Liya Haath Se Qalb Ko Sajjad Ne Laakh Dilase Diye Zainab e Nashaad Ne Aa Gai'n Masooma e Alam

Alas, Sajjad held his heart with his hand, Though the sorrowful Zainab offered a million consolations, The innocent one of the world (Sakina) had arrived.

Ek Hi Paigham Hai Mazhar o Farhan Ka Pursa Mohammad Ko De'n Aiye Ehl e Aza Kijiye ZANjEER Ka Matam

There is but one message from Mazhar and Farhan: 'Oh mourners, come offer condolences to Muhammad (SAW), Perform the mourning with chains.'
