Baba Na Aayenge

Syed Raza Abbas Zaidi

In the dark prison of Shaam, young Sakina waits for her father, Imam Hussain, until she finally finds peace in a dream.

Haaye,

Alas,

Zindaaa'n Mein Jab Sakina Ki Jaa'n Lab Pe Aagayi Boli Wo Roke Kehde Pidar Se Zara Koi Hasrat Thi Nikli Aapki Godi Dum Mera Seene Pe Sar Rakhu To Mujhe Chayn Aaega Choome Qadam Sakina Ke Jhukkar Jo Maut Ne Boli Wo Maa Se Amma Karo Qibla Roo Mujhe

When Sakina's life reached her lips in the prison, She wept and said, "Will someone tell my father? My only wish was to breathe my last in your lap, I would find peace if I could rest my head on your chest." As death bowed down to kiss Sakina's feet, She said to her mother, "Mother, turn me towards the Qibla."

Baba Na Aayenge, Na Mujhe Neend Aayegi Amma Ye Raat Jaan Meri Leke Jayegi

Father will not come, and sleep will not visit me, Mother, this night will take my life away.

Ruk Ruk Ke Saans Aati Hai Kholo Rasan Zara Amma Nikalne Wala Hai Seene Se Dumm Mera Kya Is Andhere Ghar Mein Mujhe Maut Aayegi

My breath comes in gasps, please loosen these ropes, Mother, my soul is about to depart from my chest, Will death really come to me in this dark house?

Lele Ke God Mein Mujhe Roti Hai Kyu Phuphi Kisse Chhupa Rahi Yaha To Koi Nahi Taqdeer Jaane Ab Kya Sitam Mujhpe Dhaayegi

Why do you weep, Aunt, while holding me in your lap? Who are you hiding from? There is no one here, Only fate knows what cruelty it will inflict upon me now.

Phir Rote Rote Aankh Sakina Ki Jab Lagi Dekha Padar Ko Khwaab Mein Bachhi Tadap Uthi Boli Sakina Baba Ke Humraah Jaayegi

Then, as Sakina fell asleep while weeping, She saw her father in a dream, and the child trembled, Sakina said, "I will go with my father."

Aaye The Lene Baba Abhi To Mujhe Yaha Aye Bibiyo Batao Pidar Hai Mere Kaha Kehte The Ab Sakina Mere Saath Jayegi

Father had just come here to take me, O ladies, tell me, where is my father? He said, "Now Sakina will come with me."

Ye Sunke Shor E Girya Utha Yu Ke Al Amaa'n Bheja Yazeed Ne Sare Shabbir Nagahaa'n Qismat Pidar Se Haaye Ye Kaise Milayegi

Hearing this, a cry of lamentation arose, seeking refuge, For Yazid had suddenly sent the head of Shabbir (Hussain), Alas, how will fate reunite her with her father?

Haye Haye Rage Guloo Se Tapakta Hai Khoo'n Abhi Baba Pe Mere Kisne Jafa Is Tarah Se Ki Sadma Sakina Ab Ye Utha Bhi Na Payegi

Alas, blood still drips from the veins of his throat, Who committed such cruelty upon my father? Sakina will not be able to bear this shock now.

Rehan Jab Sakina Ne Thama Sare Hussain Khamosh Hogai Wo Raza Karte Karte Bayn Bano Ko Muddato Ye Sada Ab Rulayegi

Rehan, when Sakina held the head of Hussain, She fell silent, having accepted her fate while mourning, This voice will now make Bano weep for ages to come.
