Shahid Baltistani · 2011

The poem reflects on how the tragedy of Karbala continues to echo through time, as mourners face persecution just as the family of the Prophet did.

Haye Mazlum Hussain Haye Hussain Ya Hussain Haye Hussain Shah Hussain Halmin Nasir Yansurna

Alas, the oppressed Hussain! Alas, Hussain, O Hussain, alas, Hussain, King Hussain! Is there any helper to help us?

Deene Islam Hai Yu Hazrate Shabbir Ke Saath Jaise Quran Baya Hota Hai Tafseer Ke Saath Kya Sitam Ho Gaya Islam Ki Taqdeer Ke Saath Qatl Shabbir Hue Narae Takbeer Ke Saath Kal Talak Zulm Hue Deen Ke Madadgaro Par Aaj Hote Hai Sitam Sheh Ke Azadaro Per Hussain Kal Bhi Tha Mazloom Aur Aaj Bhi Hai Sitam Ki Zid Pe Hamara Imam Aaj Bhi Hai Aza Ke Farsh Ka Hal Min Payam Aaj Bhi Hai

The religion of Islam is with Hazrat Shabbir (Hussain), Just as the Quran is explained through its interpretation (Tafseer). What a tragedy befell the destiny of Islam, Shabbir was martyred amidst the cries of 'Allahu Akbar'. Until yesterday, oppression was inflicted upon the helpers of the faith, Today, tyranny is inflicted upon the mourners of the King (Hussain). Hussain was oppressed yesterday and remains so today, Our Imam remains today, standing against the stubbornness of tyranny, The message of 'Hal Min' (Is there any helper?) still resonates from the carpet of mourning today.

Hussain Kal Bhi....

Hussain was oppressed yesterday...

Nazar May Phirte Hai Karbobala Ke Sab Manzar Zameen Pe Bikhra Hua Tha Hussain Ka Lashkar Kahin Kate Hue Bazu Kahin Kate Hue Sar Gali Gali May Wohi Qatle Aam Aaj Bhi Hai

All the scenes of Karbala pass before my eyes, Hussain's army was scattered upon the earth, Here severed arms, there severed heads, That same massacre continues in every street today.

Juloose Girya-O-Matam Pe Zulm Itne Huve Sitam Ke Maare Hue Ab Khoon May Doobe Huve Barasti Dhoop May Maon Se Bache Litpe Huve Sawaal Karte Hai Kya Fauje Shaam Aaj Bhi Hai

So much oppression has been inflicted upon the processions of weeping and mourning, Those struck by tyranny are now drenched in blood, In the scorching sun, children clinging to their mothers, Are asking, 'Does the army of Sham (Syria) still exist today?'

Huve Thay Jis Tarha Qasim Ke Laash Ke Tukde Shaheed Hote Hai Yuhin Ghulam Qasim Ke Janaze Unke Bhi Kandhon Pe Uth Nahi Sakte Ye Gathriyon Ke Kafan Ka Nizam Aaj Bhi Hai

Just as the body of Qasim was torn into pieces, So too are the servants of Qasim being martyred, Their funeral biers also cannot be lifted upon shoulders, This system of burial shrouds for bundles (of remains) continues today.

Hussain Kehne Pe Zainab Ko Taziana Laga Phir Uske Baad Na Aziyat Ka Silsila Na Ruka Halmin Nasir Yansurna Haay Naam Veer Hussain Da Lendi Rahi Jiwe Zainab Durre Khaake Shabbir Da Matam Gam Khwara Enjekita Ya Hussain... Enje Kita Sar Katwake Hayee Usi Ko Maar Diya Jisne Ya Hussain Kaha Yazeed Zadon Ka Jaari Wo Kaam Aaj Bhi Hai

Zainab was whipped for saying 'Hussain', And after that, the chain of suffering did not stop. Is there any helper to help us? Alas, just as Zainab kept taking the name of her brother Hussain while enduring lashes, The mourning of Shabbir is the comforter of grief, It was done like this, O Hussain... it was done by getting the head severed, alas! They killed the very person who said 'Ya Hussain', That work of the followers of Yazid continues today.

Imame Asr Ki Faryaad Ab Bhi Hai Akbar Zamana Hogaya Veeran Fatima Ka Hai Ghar Lahoo Ke Ashk Bahata Hai Abide Muztar Mere Gharane Pe Ghurbat Ki Shaam Aaj Bhi Hai

The cry of the Imam of the Age (Imam Mahdi) still remains, Akbar, An age has passed, and the house of Fatima remains desolate, The distressed Abid (Imam Sajjad) sheds tears of blood, 'The evening of loneliness and exile still hangs over my household today.'
