Aye Baba Hussaina
Irfan Haider
On the evening after the battle, young Sakina wanders the dark desert alone. She searches the battlefield for her father, Imam Hussain, calling out for him in her thirst and sorrow.
(Shaam E Ghariba'n)
(The Evening of the Strangers/The Evening of Ashura)
Aye Shaam E Ghariba'n
Oh, the Evening of the Strangers
Jab Shaam E Ghariba'n Me Yaad E Padar Aayi Aur Ghabrake Sakina Sare Maqtal Chali Aayi Daaman Tha Jala Aur Labo'n Par Tha Yeh Noha
When the memory of her father came on the Evening of the Strangers, And, distressed, Sakina walked toward the battlefield, Her hem was burnt, and this lament was on her lips:
(Aye Baba Hussaina)
(Oh Father Hussain)
(Ayna Ayna Aye Baba Hussaina) Roti Hain Sakina, Pyaasi Hain Sakina Ayna Ayna Aye Baba Hussaina
(Where are you, where are you, Oh Father Hussain?) Sakina is weeping, Sakina is thirsty, Where are you, where are you, Oh Father Hussain?
(1) Hain Aap Jaha Baba, Mujhko Bula Lijiye Ek Baar Mujhe, Apne Seene Pe Sula Lijiye Bin Aap Ke Duniya Me Bekaar Hai Yeh Jeena
(1) Wherever you are, Father, call me to you, Just once, let me sleep upon your chest, Without you, this life in this world is meaningless.
Hain Kaan Mere Zakhmi, Aur Khoon Bhi Hain Jaari Khaymo'n Ki, Ridaaon Ki, Karti Hu Azadari Kuch Der Sukoon Pau, Mil Jao Agar Baba
My ears are wounded, and the blood is still flowing, I am mourning for the tents and for the veils (that were snatched), If I could find you, Father, I might find some peace for a while.
Kis Samt Tumhe Dhundhu, Maqtal Me Bhatakti Hu Baba Ki Samajhkar Mai, Har Laash Pe Girti Hu Imdaad Karo Meri, Batlao Mujhe Rasta
In which direction should I search for you? I wander through the battlefield, Mistaking every body for my Father, I fall upon them, Help me, show me the way.
Kuch Der Lipatkar Main, Bas Aapke Laashe Se Woh Dard Sunaugi, Baad Aapke Jo Paye Har Baat Batau Main, Mil Jaye Agar Lasha
Clinging to your body for a while, I would tell you of the pain I endured after you, I would tell you everything, if only I could find your body.
Is Dasht Me Roti Hu, Sab Chahne Walo'n Ko Har Samt Andhera Hai, Tarsi Hu Ujalo'n Ko Baad Apke Aye Baba, Taareek Hai Yeh Duniya
In this desert, I weep for all those who loved us, There is darkness in every direction, I yearn for the light, After you, Oh Father, this world is pitch black.
Shabbir Ke Nauhe Se, Phir Gunj Utha Sehra Ho Tere Masaeb Par, Qurban Tera Baba Ek Teer Laga Dil Par, Sunkar Yeh Tera Girya
With the lament of Shabbir (Hussain), the desert echoed once more, May your Father be sacrificed upon your suffering, An arrow struck his heart, upon hearing this weeping of yours.
Irfan Bhi Rota Hain, Is Baat Pe Mazhar Bhi Roti Thi Sakina Bhi, Aur Lashaye Sarwar Bhi Awaaz E Padar Sunkar, Us Samt Chali Dukhiya
Irfan weeps, and Mazhar also weeps at this thought, Sakina was weeping, and so was the body of the Master (Sarwar), Hearing the voice of her father, the sorrowful one walked in that direction.
Aye Baba Hussaina
Oh Father Hussain
