Syed Raza Abbas Zaidi · 2025

Imam Hussain returns to the tents without his brother Abbas. He must tell his young daughter Sakina that her uncle will not return.

Alam Jo Darya Se Aata Hua Dikhai Diya Sakina Dar Pe Jo Pohnchein To Baap Ko Dekha Ye Ro Ke Bachi Ne Poocha Kahan Hain Mere Chacha Alam Sakina Ke Haathon Mein Deke Shah Ne Kaha

When the standard was seen returning from the river, Sakina reached the door and saw her father. Weeping, the child asked, "Where is my uncle?" Placing the standard in Sakina's hands, the King said:

Alam Badha Do Sakina, Chala Gaya Abbas Hussain Ho Gaya Tanha, Chala Gaya Abbas

Raise the standard, Sakina, Abbas has departed. Hussain has become alone, Abbas has departed.

Yaqeen Aata Nahi Tha Ke Mar Gaya Ghazi Main Thapthapata Raha Uske Gaal, Aye Beti Magar Hussain Ki Us Waqt Aas Toot Gayi Jab Aa Ke Maa Ne Bataya, Chala Gaya Abbas

I could not believe that the Ghazi had died; I kept patting his cheeks, oh daughter. But Hussain's hope shattered at that moment, when his mother came and told him, "Abbas has departed."

Sakina Paani Se Kis Ki Nazar Utaarogi Tum Ammu Jaan Kise Keh Ke Ab Pukarogi Woh Yaad Aayega Jab Shaam Tum Sidharogi Nahi Milega Dobara, Chala Gaya Abbas

Sakina, whose evil eye will you ward off with water now? Whom will you call 'Uncle' and summon now? You will remember him when you head towards Shaam; he will not be found again, Abbas has departed.

Pohanch Ke Darya Pe Mashkiza Jab Bhara Usne Sakina Yaad Teri Pyaas Ko Rakha Usne Tha Uske Saamne Paani, Nahi Piya Usne Tumhari Tarah Se Pyaasa, Chala Gaya Abbas

Upon reaching the river, when he filled the waterskin, he kept your thirst in his memory, Sakina. The water was right before him, yet he did not drink. Thirsty just like you, Abbas has departed.

Kisi Ne Gurz Jo Maara To Woh Sambhal Na Saka Katte The Haath, Sahara Woh Kis Tarah Leta Zameen Pe Aise Gira, Zakhmi Ho Gaya Chehra Dobara Uth Nahi Paya, Chala Gaya Abbas

When someone struck him with a mace, he could not steady himself. His hands were severed, how could he take support? He fell to the ground in such a way, his face became wounded; he could not rise again, Abbas has departed.

Kahan Kahan Use Royi Hai Meri Tanhai Kahin Badan Tha, Kahin Haath Kya Ghadi Aayi Bikhar Gaya Mera Battis Saal Ka Bhai Pada Hai Dasht Mein Laasha, Chala Gaya Abbas

Everywhere my loneliness has wept for him. His body was in one place, his hands in another—what a moment has come. My brother of thirty-two years has been scattered; his body lies in the desert, Abbas has departed.

Jawan Bhai Ka Mar Jaana Sakht Manzil Hai Main Kaise Zinda Hoon Yeh Jaanta Mera Dil Hai Magar Sakina Yeh Ek Kaam Sab Se Mushkil Hai Teri Phuphi Ko Batana, Chala Gaya Abbas

The death of a young brother is a difficult trial; my heart knows how I am still alive. But Sakina, this one task is the most difficult of all: to tell your aunt, "Abbas has departed."

Laga Hai Haath Pe Jo Khoon, Yeh Usi Ka Hai Tha Uski Aankh Mein Jo Teer, Maine Kheencha Hai Woh Jaanta Tha Mere Dil Mein Kya Tamanna Hai Pukaar Kar Mujhe Bhaiya, Chala Gaya Abbas

The blood that is on my hand, it is his. The arrow that was in his eye, I have pulled it out. He knew what desire was in my heart; calling out to me "Brother," Abbas has departed.

Zameen Pe Girne Se Dandan Uske Zakhmi The Kate The Hont, Badan Choor Choor Zakhmon Se Tum Aise Haal Mein Ghazi Ko Dekhti Kaise Jabhi To Ghar Nahi Aaya, Chala Gaya Abbas

Upon falling to the ground, his teeth were injured. His lips were cut, his body crushed by wounds. How could you have seen the Ghazi in such a state? That is why he did not come home, Abbas has departed.

Ghadi Woh Aayi Thi Zeeshan Aur Raza Kaisi Kaha Yeh Khemon Mein Jab Shah Ne Mar Gaya Ghazi Giri Zameen Pe Ghash Kha Ke Bibiyan Saari Koi Bhi Sun Nahi Paaya, Chala Gaya Abbas

What a moment it was, Zeeshan and Raza, when the King announced in the tents that the Ghazi had died. All the ladies fell to the ground, fainting; no one could bear to hear it, "Abbas has departed."
