Ek Baar Watan Lot Ke Aaja
Irfan Haider
Bibi Sughra waits alone in Medina for her brother Ali Akbar to return from his journey. She pleads with him to come back before her illness takes her life.
Ek Baar Watan Lot Ke Aaja
Return to your homeland just once.
Isse Pehle, Ke Muje Maut Aajaye, Mere Bhaya, Ali Akbar,
Before death comes to me, My brother, Ali Akbar,
Sugra Ki Kasam Hai Tujhe Akbar Kya Tujko Gawaara Hai Ke Mar Jawoo Tarap Kar Aaja Mein Teri Chand Si Soorat Ki Balaloo, Dulha Na Sahi Mein Tujhe Dulha Sa Banaaloo, Dil Mein Hai Jo Armaan Nikale Teri Khwahar,
I swear by Sugra, O Akbar, Is it acceptable to you that I die in agony? Come, let me sacrifice myself for your moon-like face, If not a groom, let me at least dress you like one, Let your sister fulfill the desires held within her heart.
Bhabhi Ke Liye Meine Jo Poshak Banayi, Roti Hu Use Dekh Kar Deti Hu Duhaee, Hai Shaam-O-Sahar Ek Sadaa Mere Labo Par
The garment I made for your bride, I weep seeing it, crying out in anguish, From evening until dawn, there is one cry upon my lips.
Kiya Tujko Meri Yaad Sataa Ti Nahi Bhaya, Mein To Tujhe Ek Pal Bhi Bhulati Nahi Bhaya, Kyu Bhool Gaya Tu Mujhe Pardes Mein Jakar
Does my memory not torment you, brother? I do not forget you for even a single moment, brother, Why did you forget me after going to a foreign land?
Kaano Mein Jo Aawaz Azan Aati Hein Bhaya, Tasweer Teri Dil Mein Utar Jaati Hai Bhaya, Roti Hu Ye Kehkar Ali Akbar Ali Akbar
When the sound of the Adhan reaches my ears, brother, Your image descends into my heart, brother, I weep, saying 'Ali Akbar, Ali Akbar'.
Roti Huye Har Eid Guzari Meri Bhaya, Ati Thi Mujhe Yaad Tumhari Mere Bhaya, Yaado Se Hai Abaad Tere Baad Mera Ghar
I have spent every Eid in tears, brother, I was always remembering you, my brother, After you, my home is only inhabited by memories.
Bimar Tarap Ti Hai Dawaa Koi Nahi Hai, Is Ghar Mein Udasi Ke Siwa Koi Nahi Hai, Thakti Bari Yaad Se Diwaar Kabhi Gar
The sick one (Sugra) writhes in pain, and there is no medicine, In this house, there is nothing but sadness, (Even) the walls are weary from the weight of memories.
Rukhkar Ke Suwe Karbobela Roti Hu Bhayi, Milne Ki Shabo Roz Duwa Karti Hu Bhayi, Nana Ki Ziyarat Ko Taras Ti Hu Baradar
Turning towards Karbala, I weep, brother, Day and night I pray to meet you, brother, I yearn for the Ziyarat of the Prophet (Nana), brother.
Tum Bin Mai Jiyu Ye Koi Aasan Nahi Hai, Hoga Tera Phir Koi Armaan Nahi Hai, Hoga Ye Tera Aakhri Ehsan Bahan Par
It is not easy for me to live without you, There will be no other desire left for you, This will be your final favor upon your sister.
