Ghar Ghar Matam

Mourning in every home

Ya Hussain

O Hussain

Gar Gar Matam, Dar Dar Matam, Tera Hota Rahe Maula Matam

Mourning in every home, mourning at every door, may your mourning continue to happen, O Master.

Basti Basti Farya Farya, Tera Hota Rahe Maula Matam

In every settlement, in every cry, may your mourning continue to happen, O Master.

Tere Matami Ay Mere Maula, Dunya Ke Kisi Kone Me Gayaa Musruf Raha Matam Me Tere Deta He Sukoon Tera Matam

O my Master, wherever your mourners have gone in any corner of the world, they remained occupied in your mourning; your mourning grants peace.

Jab Dil Ne Kaha Ayi Zehra, Mere Gar Me Bahaane Ashke Aza Bas Maine Bichake Farshe Aza Kuch Der Kiya Barpa Matam

When my heart said, 'Zehra has come, shed tears of grief in my home,' I simply spread the mourning carpet and held a mourning gathering for a while.

Kal Haath Bandhe The Zainab Ke, Majboor Behen Thi Matam Ke Majlis He Teri Ghar Ghar Barpa Ab Karti Hai Sab Dunya Matam

Yesterday, Zainab's hands were bound, the helpless sister was in mourning; today, your gathering is held in every home, and now the whole world mourns.

Abbas Ke Shane Kat To Gaye, Masum Tere Pyaase Hi Rahe Gazi Ke Liye Bacho Ke Liye, Gazi Ke Liye Bacho Ke Liye Ab Karta Hai Darya Matam

Abbas's arms were severed, and your innocent ones remained thirsty; for the Ghazi, for the children, now even the river mourns.

Aashoor Ko Jab Suraj Nikla, Zehra Ke Bhare Gar Ko Dekha, Par Chand Ne Zainab Ko Dekha Karti Hai Bhare Gar Ka Matam

When the sun rose on Ashura, it saw Zehra's full household, but the moon saw Zainab, who mourns for that full household.

Karbal Se Safar Tha Shaam Ka Jab, Lashe Pe Pukari Ye Zainab, Taa Hashr Teri Mazloomi Par Karnaa Hai Mujhe Bhaya Matam

When the journey from Karbala to Shaam began, Zainab cried out over the body, 'Until the Day of Judgment, I must mourn your oppression, my brother.'

Jo Karbobala Se Shaam Gayi, Wo Binte Zahra Binte Ali, Sab Maye Behne Milkar Ab Karti Hai Sadaa Uska Matam

She who went from Karbala to Shaam, the daughter of Zahra and Ali—now all mothers and sisters together constantly mourn for him.

Bimar Tha Aur Zanjeere Thi, Pairo Ke Tale Jalti Thi Zamin, Sajjad Ke Gham Me Roro Kar Karta Hai Har Ek Rasta Matam

He was ill and in chains, the ground burned beneath his feet; weeping in the grief of Sajjad, every path now mourns.

Basti Basti Karya Kaya Tera Hota Rahe Maula Matam

In every settlement, in every cry, may your mourning continue to happen, O Master.
