Syed Raza Abbas Zaidi

Haaayee Hussain Bewatan Khanjar Tale Hu Pyaasa, Bhai Raha Na Beta ,Ay Waarise Ruqayyah Nana Se Jaake Kehna , Maine Nibhaya Waadaa Ammaa…..haaaye

Alas, Hussain is a stranger in this land. Under the dagger, I am thirsty; I have no brother, no son left. O inheritor of Ruqayyah, go to the Prophet and tell him: I have fulfilled my promise. Mother... alas.

Amma Gawah Rehna

Mother, be my witness.

Khanjar Tale Bhi Dekho Sajde Me Sar Hai Mera Nau Laakh Qaatilo Ne Tanha Samaj Ke Ghera Wada Nibha Raha Hu

Even under the dagger, behold, my head is in prostration. Nine hundred thousand killers surrounded me, thinking I was alone. I am fulfilling my promise.

Che Roz Ho Gaye Hai Mujhe Paani Na Mila Akbar Ki Naujawaani ,Asghar Ki Bezubaani Sehra Me Kho Chukka Hu

Six days have passed, and I have not received water. Akbar's youth, Asghar's silence (innocence), I have lost them in this desert.

Tiro Ne Chhaan Daalaa , Amma Mere Badan Ko Kitna Garib Hu Ab Mohtaaj Hu Kafan Ko Halat Baadshaah Hu

Arrows have riddled my body, Mother. I am so destitute now, I am in need of a shroud, (Yet) I am a king in my state.

Jalti Hui Zaameen Par Tiro Ka Hai Bichona Is Haal Me Na Dekhe Mujhko Meri Sakina Tiro Pe So Raha Hu

On the burning earth, there is a bed of arrows. May my Sakina not see me in this condition. I am sleeping upon arrows.

Kuch Der Pehle Amma Asghar Ko Dafn Karke Bano Ko Jab Khabar Di , Ankho Me Ashk Bharke Khud Laash Ban Gaya Hu

A short while ago, Mother, after burying Asghar, When I gave the news to Bano, with tears filling my eyes, I myself became a corpse.

Sine Se Naujawan Ke Kaise Nikaale Barchi Barchi Ke Saath Amma , Meri Bhi Saas Tuti Binaai Dhundta Hu

How did I pull the spear from the chest of my youth? With the spear, Mother, my own breath also broke. I am searching for my eyesight.

Aap Aye Hai Sunaane , Naade Ali Sunaane Mujhko Talab Kiya Hai , Amma Mere Khuda Ne Jaake Me Jaa Raha Hu

You have come to recite, to recite Nadi Ali. My God has summoned me, Mother. I am going now.

Rehan Aur Raza Ki Jo Naukri Hai Amma Zakhmo Ka Tere Marham Noha Jari Hai Amma Mai Unko Chahta Hu

The service that Rehan and Raza perform, Mother, is a balm for your wounds, a continuous lament, Mother. I love them.

Haaaye Hussain Bewatan

Alas, Hussain is a stranger in this land.
