NohaZindan Shaam

Baba Main Mar Jaungi

Father, I will die.

Na Duniya Ye Mujhpar Rehem Khaa Rahi Hai Sitam Dha Rahi Rhi Sitam Dha Rahi Hai Ghamo Se Ghuzar Jaungi Baba Mar Jaungi

This world shows me no mercy, It inflicts cruelty upon cruelty, I will pass away from these sorrows, Father, I will die.

Lahu Mere Kano Se Rista Hai Baba Badan Mera Nake Se Ghista Hai Baba Main Nake Se Gir Jaungi

Blood drips from my ears, Father, My body scrapes against the camel's saddle, Father, I will fall from the camel.

Na Bunde Hai Baqi Na Baqi Rida Hai Mera Haal Pehle Se Kafi Juda Hai Main Kis Taraha Ghar Jaungi

Neither earrings remain, nor does my veil remain, My state is vastly different from before, How will I return home?

Mujhe Hai Yaqeen Ayee. Mere Pyare Baba Na Pehchan Payegi Yun Mujhko Sughra Main Yasrab Agar Jaungi

I am certain, oh my beloved Father, Sughra will not be able to recognize me like this, If I ever return to Yathrib.

Hai Waqte Madad Bababa Tumse Gila Hai Ghulami Me Mujhko Laen Mangta Hai Kanezi Me Gar Jaungi

It is the time for help, Father, I have a complaint against you, The wretched ones demand me in slavery, If I am taken into bondage.

Asiri Me Ab Aur Jina Nhi Hai Mujhe Qaid Khane Me Rehna Nhi Hai Andhero Se Dar Jaungi Baba

I cannot live any longer in captivity, I do not wish to remain in this prison, I will be terrified by the darkness, Father.

Jo Zinda Ammu Bhi Thy Sath Baba Na Socha Tha Maine Kabhi Baba Aysa Laeno Me Ghir Jaungi

When Uncle was also alive with us, Father, I had never imagined, Father, that such a thing would happen, That I would be surrounded by the wretched ones.

Sare Shah Rota Tha Naize Pe Mehwar Sakina Ye Kehti Thi Jab Jab Bhi Rokar Baba Main Mar Jaungi

The head of the King wept upon the spear, Mehwar, Whenever Sakina would say, weeping, Father, I will die.
