Betiyon Ke Paas Le Jao

Betiyon Ke Paas Le Jao

Syed Raza Abbas Zaidi · 2021

After being struck by a sword, a wounded Imam Ali asks his sons to take him to his daughters. He wishes to see them one last time before he passes away.

Jab Chali Talwar Haye Zehar Mein Dobi Hoi Sar Shikasta Ho Gaya Uth Na Sakay Maula Ali They Sirhaney Shabar-O-Shabeer Our Abbas Bhi Baap Ko Jab Betiyon Ki Yaad Tarpaney Lagi

When the sword, alas, soaked in poison struck, His head was shattered, Maula Ali could not rise. Shabar (Hassan), Shabeer (Hussain), and Abbas were at his bedside, When the memory of his daughters began to torment the father.

Dekh Kar Beton Ka Chehra Yeh Ali Kehne Lagay Waqt Kam Hai Betiyon Ke Pas Le Jao Mujhe

Looking at the faces of his sons, Ali began to say, 'Time is short, take me to my daughters.'

Dekh Kar Zainab Ko Meri Sans Mein Sans Aaye Gi Dekh Kar Kulsoom Ko Yeh Zindagi Barh Jaye Gi Baap Kuch Din Our Jee Le Betiyon Ke Samne

Seeing Zainab will bring life back to my breath, Seeing Kulsoom will extend this life of mine. Let the father live a few more days in front of his daughters.

Zakhm Zarbat Ka Wahan Yeh Dekhna Zahir Na Ho Khon Sar Se Saaf Kar Ke Phir Amama Bandh Do Betiyaan Ghabra Na Jaein Meri Halat Dekh Ke

Ensure the wound from the strike is not visible there, Clean the blood from my head and tie the turban again. Lest my daughters become distressed seeing my condition.

Haye Phir Shabeer Se Rotay Hoye Bolay Ali Woh Agar Mangay Tu De Dena Nishani Baap Ki Yeh Musalla Sath Rakh Lo Meri Zainab Ke Liye

Alas, then weeping, Ali said to Shabeer (Hussain), 'If she asks, give her this token of her father. Keep this prayer mat with you for my Zainab.'

Iss Liye Hi Baap Se Beti Ka Hai Rishta Hai Ajab Betiyaan Hain Baap Ki Maiyyat Pe Ronaq Ka Sabab Khush Naseebi Hai Khuda Beti Atta Kar De Jisay

This is why the bond between a father and daughter is unique, Daughters are the reason for the radiance at a father's funeral. It is good fortune for whom God grants a daughter.

Apne Baba Ke Janazay Par Jo Roein Fatima Oss Ghari Main Apni Zainab Ke Liye Rota Raha Kitna Mushkil Hai Bicharna Betiyon Ka Baap Se

The way Fatima wept at her father's funeral, In that moment, I kept weeping for my Zainab. How difficult it is for daughters to be separated from their father.

Kal Main Jab Kulsoom Ke Ghar Se Chala Roney Lagi Mere Seene Se Lipat Kar Mujh Se Yeh Kehne Lagi Ja Rahe Hain Laut Kar Phir Aaeingay Kab Ghar Mere

Yesterday, when I left Kulsoom's house, she began to cry, Clinging to my chest, she began to say to me, 'You are leaving, when will you return home to me?'

Le Chalo Ab Betiyon Se Door Main Kaisay Rahon Zainab-O-Kulsoom Ke Ja Kar Main Shaney Chom Loon Haan Issi Kofay Mein Hoon Gay Hath Dono Ke Bandhay

Take me now, how can I remain away from my daughters? Let me go and kiss the shoulders of Zainab and Kulsoom. Yes, in this very Kufa, both of their hands will be bound.

Dekh Kar Abbas Ka Chehra Ali Ne Yeh Kaha Samne Rehna Hamesha Orh Kar Meri Abba Betiyaan Jeeti Rahein Chehra Tumhara Dekh Ke

Looking at Abbas's face, Ali said this, 'Always remain in front, wearing my cloak (aba), May my daughters live, seeing your face.'

Haye Zeeshan-O-Raza Jab Hukam Baba Ka Suna Ghar Ki Janib Le Chaley Betay Basad Aah-O-Baqa Our Ali Beton Se Ro Ro Kar Yehi Kehte Rahe

Alas, Zeeshan and Raza, when they heard the father's command, The sons took him towards the house with much sighing and lamentation, And Ali kept saying this to his sons while weeping.
