Haye Akbar.. Haye Zainab

Alas, Akbar... Alas, Zainab.

Marne Ki Ijaazat Jab Maangi Akbar Ne To Ye Sarwar Ne Kaha Zainab Se Ijaazat Lo Beta Tum Par Hai Zyada Haq Us Ka Qaime Mein Phuphi Amma Ke Jab Athara Baras Waala Pahuncha Maangi Jo Ijaazat Akbar Ne Zainab Ne Pukara Ay Beta Athara Baras Tumko In Haathon Se Paala Hai Mai Kaise Kahun Akbar Marne Ke Liye Jao Akbar Tujhe Dekhun To Chalti Hai Meri Saansein Kis Tarha Se Tujhe Zakhmi Dekhengi Meri Aankhein Mere Gul Badan Mere Naujawan Kaleje Mein Jab Lagegi Sina Meri Jaan Tum Na Seh Paoge Tumhe Kis Tarha Sambhalegi Maa Maloom Hai Zainab Ko Nazuk Tera Seena Hai

When Akbar sought permission to die, the Master (Hussain) said: 'Seek permission from Zainab, son, she has more right over you.' When the eighteen-year-old reached the tent of his aunt, and Akbar asked for permission, Zainab cried out: 'Oh son, I have raised you with these hands for eighteen years. How can I tell you, Akbar, to go to your death? Akbar, when I see you, my breath continues; how will my eyes bear to see you wounded? My flower-bodied one, my youth, when the spear pierces your chest, my life, you will not be able to bear it; how will your mother console you? Zainab knows your chest is delicate.'

Mai Kaise Kahun Akbar Marne Ke Liye Jao Athara Baras Tumko In Haathon Se Paala Hai

How can I tell you, Akbar, to go to your death? I have raised you with these hands for eighteen years.

Ek Baar Zara Apne Baba Ki Taraf Dekho Kis Tarha Uthayenge Wo Tere Janaze Ko Ajab Haal Hai Kamar Mein Hai Kham Hai Abbas Ki Judaai Ka Gham Ghareeb Ul Watan Bahot Thak Chuka Zaeefi Bhi Hai Nazar Bhi Hai Kam Ay Laal Mera Bhai Seh Roz Ka Pyasa Hai

Look just once towards your father; how will he lift your funeral bier? His state is strange, his back is bent; there is the grief of Abbas's separation. The stranger in this land is very tired; there is old age and his eyesight is also failing. Oh my son, my brother is thirsty for three days.

Mai Paalne Waali Hoo Itna To Mera Haq Hai Socha Tha Ke Ek Din Mai Jab Jaungi Dunya Se Lehad Mein Mujhe Utaarega Tu Ye Armaan Hai Yehi Aarzoo Rahe Tu Sada Mere Saamne Ruke Saans Bhi Tere Roo Baroo Ay Laal Abhi Mera Armaan Adhoora Hai

I am the one who raised you, this much is my right. I had thought that when I leave this world one day, you would lower me into the grave. This is my desire, this is my wish: that you always remain before me, that even my breath stops in your presence. Oh son, my desire is still unfulfilled.

Jab Pehle Pehel Tujhko Haathon Pe Uthaya Tha Ye Kehte Huwe Maine Seene Se Lagaya Tha Meri Zindagi Mere Laadle Kisi Ki Tujhe Nazar Na Lage Tujhe Dekhne Ko Bechain Thi Sukoon Mil Gaya Tujhe Dekh Ke Tu Aankhon Ka Taara Hai Tu Raaj Dulara Hai

When I first lifted you in my arms, I held you to my chest saying this: 'My life, my beloved, may no one's evil eye touch you.' I was restless to see you; I found peace only after seeing you. You are the star of my eyes, you are my cherished prince.

Sughra Se Kiya Waada Kya Yaad Nahi Akbar Bemaar Madine Mein Mar Jaye Na Ro Ro Kar Usay Aas Hai Ke Aaoge Tum Jo Waada Kiya Nibhaoge Tum Sakina Se Wo Bahot Door Hai Behan Se Usay Milaoge Tum Beta Tumhe Sughra Se Wo Waada Nibhana Hai

Do you not remember the promise made to Sughra, Akbar? That the sick one in Medina might die from weeping. She has hope that you will return; that you will fulfill the promise you made. She is very far from Sakina; you will unite her with her sister. Son, you have to fulfill that promise to Sughra.

Akbar Teri Shadi Ka Armaan Hai Bahot Hum Ko Hum Seh Nahi Payenge Ay Laal Tere Gham Ko Jabeen Par Teri Jo Sehra Bandhe Tamanna Hai Wo Phuphi Dekhle Dulhan Ko Teri Sajaungi Mai Ay Mere Haseen Jawan Laadle Zainab Ne Abhi Tujhko Dulha Bhi Banana Hai

I have such a great desire for your wedding, Akbar. I will not be able to bear your grief, my son. The turban tied upon your forehead—it is my wish that your aunt sees it. I will decorate your bride; oh my handsome, youthful beloved. Zainab still has to make you a groom.

Ye Kehne Lage Akbar Zainab Ki Sada Sun Ke Afzal To Nahi Amma Mai Dilbare Zahra Se Akele Hai Wo Nahi Hai Koi Musibat Mein Hai Zaroorat Meri Nazar Kis Tarha Milaunga Mai Agar Aap Ne Ijaazat Na Di Kyun Aap Ke Honton Pe Is Waqt Ye Noha Hai

Hearing Zainab's call, Akbar began to say: 'I am not superior, Mother, to the beloved of Zahra (Hussain). He is alone, there is no one else; he is in trouble and needs me. How will I meet his eyes if you do not give me permission? Why is this lament on your lips at this moment?'

Akbar Ki Sada Sun Kar Zainab Ne Ijaazat Di Ruqsat Jo Huwe Akbar Kaisi Wo Qayamat Thi Duayein Khuda Se Karti Thi Wo Mere Laal Ki Khuda Khair Ho Kaha Ya Ali Madad Kijiye Mai Ruqsat Karun Jawan Laal Ko Zeeshan O Raza Phir Na Zainab Ne Pukara Hai

Hearing Akbar's call, Zainab gave permission. When Akbar departed, what a day of judgment it was. She prayed to God, 'May my son be safe.' She said, 'Ya Ali, help me; let me bid farewell to my youthful son.' Zeeshan and Raza, Zainab did not call out again.
