Ghaazi Ka Salam Aaya

The Ghazi's salutations have arrived.

Fizza Teri Wafa Ko Ghaazi Ka Salam Aaya

Fizza, the Ghazi's salutations have arrived for your loyalty.

Zahra Ki Betiyo Ka, Tune Qadam Qadam Par Hai Saath Jo Nibhaya

For every step you took, you remained a companion to the daughters of Zahra.

Zainab Ki Zindagi Ki Karti Rahi Duae Khati Rahi Hai Pathar Sehti Rahi Jafae Bazar Ho Ya Galiya, Darbaar Ho Ya Zinda Shikwa Na Lab Pe Aaya

You kept praying for Zainab's life, enduring stones and suffering cruelties. Whether in the bazaars or the alleys, the court or the prison, no complaint ever came to your lips.

Darya Pe Koi Laasha Pehlu Badal Raha Tha Pardes Me Ali Ka Ghar Baar Jal Rha Tha Zainab Ke Sath Milke, Sholo Pe Chalke Tune Sajjad Ko Bachaya

By the river, a body was shifting in agony; in a foreign land, the household of Ali was burning. Walking through the flames alongside Zainab, you saved Sajjad.

Nauke Sina Se Dekha Shabbir Ne Ye Manzar Karbobala Se Lekar Taa Shaam Har Kadam Par Zalim Ka Taziyana, Apne Kamar Pe Tune Zainab Se Pehle Khaya

From the spearhead, Shabbir witnessed this scene: from Karbala to Shaam, at every step, you took the tyrant's whip upon your own back before Zainab could.

Zainab Gai Jaha Bhi Tu Sath Me Gai Hai Saye Ki Tarah Har Pal Tu Dhoop Me Rahi Hai Qurbaniyo Ko Teri Sab Maante Hai Bibi Apna Ho Ya Paraya

Wherever Zainab went, you accompanied her. Like a shadow, you remained with her in the scorching heat every moment. Everyone acknowledges your sacrifices, Lady, whether friend or foe.

Baba Ko Yaad Karke Roti Thi Jab Sakina Har Baar Usse Kehti Sabir Bohot Thi Zahra Makhdooma Ke Masaeb, Har Shab Suna Ke Tune Bachi Ka Dil Badhaya

When Sakina wept, remembering her father, you would tell her every time how patient Zahra was. By reciting the tragedies of the Lady of the House every night, you comforted the child's heart.

Choda Na Unka Daman Jab Tak Rahi Hai Zinda Izzat Hai Mustafa Ki Zainab Ho Ya Sakina Tune Samajhke Zahra, Har Bibi Ki Lahad Par Shab Bhar Diya Jalaya

You never let go of their hem as long as you lived. Whether it was Zainab or Sakina, they are the honor of Mustafa. Considering them like Zahra, you lit lamps all night at the grave of every lady.

Bimaare Karbala Jab Thak Kar Kahi Pe Baitha Aakar Qareeb Tune Dekar Use Dilasa Kaate Kabhi Nikale, Chhalo Pe Aasuo Ka Marham Kabhi Lagaya

When the Sick One of Karbala sat down, exhausted, you would come near and console him. Sometimes you removed thorns, and sometimes you applied the balm of your tears to his blisters.

Pardesiyo Ki Tarha Tu Ab Bhi Shaam Me Hai Ghar Jaati Kis Tarah Se Zainab Bhi Shaam Me Hai Lagta Hai Ye Takallum, Binte Ali Ke Sar Par Abhi Hai Tera Saaya

Like the strangers, you are still in Shaam. How could you go home when Zainab is also in Shaam? It seems, Takallum, that your shadow is still over the head of the daughter of Ali.

Haay Fizza

Alas, Fizza.
