Aye Maut Theherja
Irfan Haider
A grieving mother watches her young son, Ali Akbar, pass away on the battlefield of Karbala. She begs for time to see him as a groom one last time.
Hichkiyan Lete Thay Ali Akbar Umme Laila Ye Bain Karti Thi
Ali Akbar was gasping for breath, and Umm Laila was lamenting in this way:
Poshaak Udhaloon Ke Mai Armaan Nikaloon Ay Maut Teher Jaa Ay Maut Teher Jaa Mai Apne Jawan Laal Ko Dulha To Bana Loon Ay Maut
Let me dress him in wedding attire, let me fulfill my longings, O Death, wait, O Death, wait, Let me at least make my young son a bridegroom, O Death.
Is Laal Ko Mai Kaise Karoon Tere Hawale Ye Chand To Deta Hai Zamane Ko Ujale Is Chand Ki Poshaak Sitaron Se Sajaloon
How can I surrender this beloved son to you? This moon brings light to the entire world, Let me adorn this moon's attire with the stars.
Athara Baras Phoolon Ki Tarha Jise Paala Jaata Hai Mujhe Chod Ke Wo Gesuon Wala Ab Tu Hi Bata Kaise Mai Is Dil Ko Sambhaloon
He whom I raised like a flower for eighteen years, He, the one with the beautiful locks, is leaving me behind, Now you tell me, how do I console this heart?
Dekhe Thay Bahut Khaab Magar Khaak Hue Sab Is Bete Ke Sehre Ki Dua Karti Thi Zainab Dulah Na Sahi Mai Ise Dulah Sa Banaloon
I had seen many dreams, but they all turned to dust, Zainab used to pray for the wedding garland of this son, If not a real bridegroom, let me at least make him look like one.
Har Shaam Jise Lagti Hai Ab Shame Gharibaan Jo Kehti Thi Akbar Ki Dulhan Laaungi Amma Us Fatima Sughra Ko Madine Se Bulaloon
Every evening now feels like the 'Evening of the Strangers' (Shaam-e-Ghariban) to her, She who used to say, 'Mother, I will bring a bride for Akbar,' Let me call that Fatima Sughra from Medina.
Qaime Se Zara Door Khade Rote Hai Sarwar Ek Haat Kalaje Pe Hai Ek Haat Kamar Par Mai Khud Ko Sambhaloon Ke Shahe Deen Ko Sambhaloon
Standing a little distance from the tent, the Master (Hussain) is weeping, One hand is on his heart, the other on his back, Should I console myself, or should I console the King of Faith?
Ye Kiski Nazar Kha Gayi Is Noore Nazar Ko Veeran Kiye Jaate Hai Akbar Mere Ghar Ko Jee Karta Hai Is Chaand Ko Dunya Se Chupaloon
Whose evil eye has struck this light of my eyes? Akbar is leaving my home desolate, I feel like hiding this moon away from the world.
Zainab Ke Labon Par Hai Buka Haaye Muqaddar Kya Sehra Chadhaun Mai Teri Lash Pe Akbar Aur Khud Ko Teri Laash Pe Sadqe Hi Utaroon
On Zainab's lips is lamentation—alas, this destiny, What wedding garland can I place on your corpse, Akbar? And let me sacrifice myself over your body.
Mehendi Na Lagi Haaton May Hai Khoon Badan Ka Pooshak-E-Shahani Ko Mila Daag Kafan Ka Is Laash Pe Athaarveen Mannat Ko Badhaloon
No henna on his hands, only the blood of his body, The royal attire is stained with the marks of a shroud, Let me fulfill the eighteenth vow over this corpse.
Taqdeer Kisi Maa Ko Ye Manzar Na Dikhaaye Maiyat Pe Jawaan Laal Ke Wo Ashq Bahaaye Jee Bhar Ke Ise Dekhloon Aur Ashq Bahaun
May fate never show this sight to any mother, That she sheds tears over the funeral of her young son, Let me look at him to my heart's content and shed tears.
Faryaad Zara Sunle Sakina Ki Zubaani Marjaungi Bichda Jo Mera Yousuf-E-Sani Bhaiya Mere Naraaz Hai Mai Unko Manaloon
Listen to the plea from Sakina's tongue, 'I will die if my Yusuf-e-Sani (the second Joseph) is separated from me, My brother is angry, let me appease him.'
Maa Roti Rahi Mazhar-O-Irfan Tadapkar Aur Aakhri Hichki May Safar Kargaye Akbar Maa Kehti Rahi Mai Ise Dulah To Banaloon
The mother kept weeping, Mazhar and Irfan, in agony, And with his final gasp, Akbar departed on his journey, While the mother kept saying, 'Let me at least make him a bridegroom.'
