Behta Pani

Shahid Baltistani

The captives of Karbala watch the river flow while suffering from intense thirst. They refuse to ask for water after witnessing the sacrifice of the standard-bearer.

Aag Seene Me Lagata Raha Behta Pani Bade Ashur Aseero Ne Jo Dekha Pani

The flowing water ignited a fire in the chest, After Ashura, when the captives Beheld the water.

Aag Seene Me........

A fire in the chest........

Jab Alamdar Ke Bazu Ko Kalam Dekhliya Phr Aseero Ne Kisi Se Bhi Na Maanga Pani...

When they saw the arms of the Standard-bearer severed, Then the captives asked no one for water anymore...

Ek Hasrat Se Woh Darya Ki Taraf Dekhti Hai Bachhe Aa Aa Ke Jo Kehte Hai Sakina Pani

With a deep longing, she gazes toward the river, As the children come, one by one, crying to Sakina for water.

Wada Asghar Se Nibhate Hue Dam Tod Gai Saye Me Aai Na Maa Ne Piya Thanda Pani

Fulfilling her promise to Asghar, she breathed her last, She did not come into the shade, nor did the mother drink cold water.

Kash Saqlain Mere Khwab Ko Tabeer Mile Marde Dam Mere Gale Se Nahi Utra Pani.

I wish, Saqlain, that my dream could find fulfillment, That at the moment of death, water would not pass down my throat.
