Awaaz To De Akbar

Girta Hua Ut'ta Hua Aa To Gaya Hoo Mai Magar Gum Hogaya Noor-e-Nazar

Falling and rising, I have finally reached you, but the light of my eyes is lost.

Tu Naujawan Hai Akbar Aur Hai Zaeef Baba Kaise Utha'oon Maiyat Mujhko To Batade Itna Jaana Hai Ab Khaiyaam Tak Kaise Karoon Mai Ye Safar Kham Hogayi Meri Kamar

You are a youth, Akbar, and your father is frail. Tell me, how am I to lift your body? I must return to the tents, how will I make this journey? My back has been broken.

Aayi Sada Jidhar Se Mai Us Taraf Badoonga Awaaz Sunte Sunte Tujhe Ran Mein Dhoond Hi Loonga Tu Hai Jidhar Pyare Mere Dheere Se Ye Kehte Hue Baba Idhar Baba Idhar

From wherever the sound comes, I will move in that direction. Listening for your voice, I will surely find you on the battlefield. Wherever you are, my beloved, softly saying, 'Father, here, Father, here.'

Sughra Ke Naamawar Ko Khat Ka Jawaab Kya Doon Wo Muntazir Hai Usko Barchi Ka Haal Sunadoon Raste Se Ab Nazre Hata Maara Gaya Bhai Tera Kya Bhejdoon Usko Khabar

How shall I answer the letter of Sughra's renowned brother? She is waiting; shall I tell her of the spear? Turn your eyes away from the path, your brother has been slain; what news shall I send to her?

Teri Sada Ko Sun Kar Wo Phir Se Jee Uthegi Hamsheer Teri Warna Shayad Nahi Jee Paayegi Seene Ki Barchi Thaam Ke Sughra Ko Uske Naam Se Ek Baar Himmat Jodh Kar

Hearing your voice, she will come to life again, otherwise, your sister may not survive. Holding the spear in your chest, for the sake of Sughra, gather your strength one last time.

Barchi Se Bas Kaleja Tera Nahi Chida Hai Maqtal Mein Fatima Ne Dil Apna Thaam Liya Hai Bhai Hasan Nana Nabi Baba Ali Dadi Teri Maujood Hai Sab Bhi Idhar

It is not just your heart that has been pierced by the spear; in the killing field, Fatima has clutched her own heart. Your uncle Hasan, your grandfather the Prophet, your father Ali, your grandmother, they are all present here.

Kaise Bayaan Karoon Mai Wo Dard Naak Manzar Sakte Mein Thay Khudaai Rota Tha Saara Lashkar Jab Fatima Ke Laal Ne Haaton Pe Lekar Khaak Se Rakh Kar Kaha Zaano Pe Sar

How can I describe that painful scene? The universe was in shock, the entire army was weeping, when the son of Fatima lifted him from the dust with his hands, and placing his head upon his lap, he spoke.

Laashe Ke Dona Jaanib Baithi Hai Maa'en Dono Seene Ke Bosay Dekar Leti Hai Balayein Dono Zainab Idhar Laila Idhar Choome Tera Zaqmi Jigar Inse To Koi Baat Kar

On both sides of the body sit both mothers, kissing your chest and taking your afflictions upon themselves. Zainab here, Laila there, kissing your wounded heart, please, speak to them.

Akbar Janabe Akbar Khamosh Hogaye Thay Shabbir Sar Jhukaye Laashe Ke Paas Khade Thay Zainab Kabhi Laila Kabhi Behne Kabhi Kabhi Naamawar Kehta Raha Ye Saara Ghar

Akbar, Hazrat Akbar, had fallen silent. Shabbir stood by the body with his head bowed. Sometimes Zainab, sometimes Laila, sometimes the sisters, sometimes the renowned one, the whole house kept saying this.
