Ghareeb e Zahra Ka Badan
Syed Raza Abbas Zaidi · 2022
The poem describes the broken state of Imam Hussain's body on the hot sands of Karbala after the battle. It recounts the sorrowful moments witnessed by his family.
Hussain.. Hussain.. Hussain
Hussain... Hussain... Hussain
Kiya Hai Paamal Isko Ran Mein Hai Zakhm Hi Zakhm Is Badan Mein Nahi Hai Koi Uthaane Waala Bahot Akela Hai Is Watan Mein Idhar Ki Sab Phasliyan Udhar Hai Udhar Ki Sab Phasliyan Idhar Hai
It has been trampled upon in the battlefield, This body is nothing but wounds. There is no one to lift it, It is so alone in this land. The ribs from this side are on that side, The ribs from that side are on this side.
Jo Garm Reti Pe Be-Kafan Hai Ghareeb E Zahra Ka Ye Badan Hai
The one who lies on the hot sand without a shroud, This is the body of Zahra's stranger son.
Ye Wo Badan Hai Ke Jiska Seena Haan Choomte Thay Shah E Madina Bhara Hai Teeron Se Haye Ghurbat Kahan Pe Soyegi Ab Sakina Yehi Wo Seena Hai Jispe Chad Kar Layeen Ne Kaata Hussain Ka Sar
This is the body whose chest, Yes, the King of Madina used to kiss. It is filled with arrows, alas, the tragedy, Where will Sakina sleep now? This is the very chest upon which, The accursed one climbed and severed Hussain's head.
Hui Thi Wo Jinki Naal Bandi Thay Aam Ghodon Se Aur Wazni Jo Ghode Daude Thay Is Badan Par Kuchalna Unki Khusoosiyat Thi Na Jaane Kis Tarha Maa Ne Dekha Sumon Ke Neeche Ghareeb Beta
Those horses whose shoes were forged, Were heavier than ordinary horses. The horses that galloped over this body, Crushing was their specific intent. I do not know how the mother watched, Her stranger son beneath the hooves.
Layeen Wo Bajdal Tha Naam Jiska Sirhane Jab Is Badan Ke Pahuncha Angoothi Kis Tarha Loot'ta Wo Tha Zakhmi Haathon Pe Warm Itna Na Utri Zaalim Se Jab Angoothi To Kaat Kar Le Gaya Wo Ungli
That accursed one, whose name was Bajdal, When he reached the head of this body, How could he steal the ring? There was so much swelling on the wounded hands. When the ring would not come off for the tyrant, He cut off the finger and took it.
Akela Laakhon Se Zakhm Kha Kar Ye Sogaya Jab Sitam Utha Kar Andhere Ban Mein Isi Badan Se Behen Ne Patthar Hataye Aakar Na Jaane Zainab Ne Kaise Dekha Ghareeb Bhai Ka Zakhmi Laasha
Alone, having suffered millions of wounds, When he fell asleep after enduring such oppression, In the dark wilderness, from this very body, The sister came and removed the stones. I do not know how Zainab looked upon, The wounded corpse of her stranger brother.
Saron Ko Naizon Pe Jab Chadhaya Sar Ek Chota Sa Mil Na Paaya Layeen Ne Naiza Zameen Pe Maara To Laasha Asghar Ka Saath Aaya Pidar Ke Zakhmi Badan Pe Rakh Kar Chalaya Nanhe Galay Pe Khanjar
When they raised the heads upon spears, One small head could not be found. The accursed one struck his spear into the ground, And Asghar's corpse came along with it. Placing it upon the father's wounded body, They ran the dagger across the tiny throat.
Pidar Ke Seene Pe Sone Waali Jab Is Badan Ke Khareeb Pahunchi Ye Aake Shimr E Layeen Ne Dekha Pidar Se Lipti Hui Hai Beti Pakad Ke Baalon Se Jab Chudaya Badan Zameen Par Tadap Raha Tha
The one who used to sleep on her father's chest, When she reached near this body, The accursed Shimr came and saw, The daughter was clinging to her father. When he pulled her away by her hair, Her body was writhing on the ground.
Kahin Pe Talwar Ke Nishan Hai Kahin Pe Naize Hai Barchiyan Hai Lahoo Bhi Zakhmon Se Ris Raha Hai Ghareeb Ki Zakhmi Aediyan Hai Badan Hai Ye Chaak Chaak Haye Bahri Hai Zakhmon Mein Khaak Haye
Somewhere there are marks of swords, Somewhere there are spears and lances. Blood is also oozing from the wounds, The stranger's heels are wounded. This body is torn to pieces, alas, It is filled with dust in the wounds, alas.
Hussain Ki Jab Lehad Pe Jaana Raza O Zeeshan Yaad Rakhna Bichi Hai Turbat Mein Ek Chatayi Ye Dil Ki Aankhon Se Dekh Lena Wahin Ye Zakhmi Badan Rakha Hai Sagheer Seene Pe So Raha Hai
When you go to Hussain's grave, Raza and Zeeshan, remember this: A mat is spread inside the tomb, See this with the eyes of your heart. There, this wounded body is kept, And the infant is sleeping on his chest.
