Ay Waa-e-Nehre Alqama
Nadeem Sarwar · 2013
The river Alqama continues to flow while the family of the Prophet suffers from intense thirst on its banks. It is a tragic scene where water is abundant but denied to the thirsty.
Ay Waa -E- Nehre Alqama
Oh, the lament for the River Alqama
Darya Behta Raha Saamne Usi Darya Ke, Pyaase Tadapte Hai- Darya Behta Raha
The river kept flowing Right before that very river, the thirsty ones writhed in agony- The river kept flowing
Bana Jinke Khaatir Paani, Unhi Ko Mila Na Unhi Se To Shikha Isne, Zameen Par Barsna Sitam Hai Dikha Kar Inko Hai Pani Bahana Haay
Those for whom the water was created, they did not receive it From them, it learned to rain down upon the earth What cruelty it is, to show it to them And let the water flow away, alas
Swaere Ishi Darya Pe, Alam Waala Aaya Kisi Tishnalab Bachi Ka, Woh Mashkiza Laaya Chidi Mashk Us Pyase Ki Woh Wapas Gaya Na, Haay
In the morning, the Standard-Bearer came to this very river He brought the water-skin of a thirsty little girl The water-skin of that thirsty one was pierced And he did not return, alas
Woh Jiski Azaan Gunji Thi, Sawere Sawere, Chada Din To Baba Uska, Usi Ko Sambhaale Pukaara Hai Khaq Ab Dunia Tere Baad Beta, Haay
He whose Azaan echoed early in the morning When the day rose, his father was the one holding him Now the world calls out in dust After you, my son, alas
Udhar Bekafan Tha Bhai, Behan Beridaa Thi Jaalti Huwi Khaimo Ko, Ajab Shaam Aayi Koi Maa Pukari Baba Luta Mera Qunba, Haay
Over there was the brother without a shroud, and the sister without a veil A strange evening came upon the burning tents Some mother cried out, 'Father' My family has been looted, alas
Amire Arab Ka Beta, Libaase Gharibi, Rehan Aur Sarwar Hum Na, Yeh Bhule Kabhi Bhi, Woh Darya Ka Behta Paani Woh Pyaase Ka Sajdaah Haay
The son of the Commander of the Arabs, in the garb of poverty Rehan and Sarwar, we shall never forget this That flowing water of the river And the prostration of the thirsty one, alas
Ay Waa -E- Nehere Alqama
Oh, the lament for the River Alqama
