Haye Shaam E Ghareeba'n

Alas, the evening of the strangers (the night after Ashura).

Ashoor Ki Wo Shaam Qayamat Ka Wo Samaa Haaye... Aaye Najaf Se Milne Ali, Jis Ghadi Waha'n Beti Lipat Ke Baap Se Karti Thi Ye Fugha'n Arey Athara Bhaiyo Ki Bahen Ab Nahi Rahi Baba.. Baba.. Badal Do Naam Mai Zainab Nahi Rahi

That evening of Ashura, that scene of the Day of Judgment, Alas... When Ali came from Najaf to meet her there, His daughter clung to her father and lamented thus: 'Oh, the sister of eighteen brothers is no more, Father, Father, change my name, I am no longer Zainab.'

Baba Mai Lut Gayi..

Father, I have been plundered (ruined).

Karbobala Basa Ke Yeh Zainab Ne Di Sadaa

Having settled in Karbala, Zainab cried out:

Nazrein Mila Na Payenge Ek Dusre Se Hum Aye Mere Babajaa'n Tumhe Abbas Ki Qasam Ankhein Na Kholna Mere, Sar Par Nahi Rida

We will not be able to meet each other's eyes, Oh my dear father, I swear to you by Abbas, Do not open your eyes, for I have no veil upon my head.

Pehle Ke Jaisi Aapki Beti Nahi Rahi Pehchan Ne Mein Aapko Kuch Der Yu Lagi Beenayi Bhi Gayi Meri Akbar Bhi Chal Basa

Your daughter is no longer as she once was, It took me a while to recognize you, My eyesight has faded, and Akbar has also departed.

Sar Rakhke Zakhmi Seene Pe Royi Wo Tishnakaam Akbar Ne Kar Diya Mere Parde Ka Intezaam Chehre Pe Khoon Hai Mere Kadiyal Jawaan Ka

Resting her head on his wounded chest, she wept, the thirsty one, Akbar has arranged for my veil (modesty), On my face is the blood of my strapping young son.

Haye, Ujdi Hai Ek Roz Mein Amma Ki Kayenaat Kitne Janaze Utthe Hai Is Ghar Mein Ek Saath Bikhri Hui Hai Dasht Mein Tasweer E Fatima

Alas, in one day, Mother's (Fatima's) universe has been devastated, How many funeral biers have risen from this house at once, Scattered in the desert is the image of Fatima.

Shahzadiyo'n Ki Tarha Se Rakhha Tha Aapne Jaate Hue Hussain Ko Saupa Tha Aapne Wo Dekhiye Sina Pe Hai Sar Mere Bhai Ka

You had kept me like a princess, You had entrusted me to Hussain when you left, Look there, my brother's head is upon the spear.

Baba Najaf Qareeb Hai Har Shaam Aaungi Mai Qabr Par Hussain Ki Shamme Jalaungi Tum Saath Apne Le Chalo Ab Kaun Hai Mera

Father, Najaf is near, I will come every evening, I will light candles on Hussain's grave, Take me with you, who is left for me now?

Ye Kehte Kehte Mir Takallum Wo Ro Padi Abid Ko Jalte Khaimo Se Laayi Hu Mai Abhi Beto Ka Imtehaan Bhi Beti Ne Dediya

Saying this, Mir Takallum, she began to weep, 'I have just brought Abid from the burning tents,' The daughter has also passed the test of her sons.
