Haay Sughra Bata
Nadeem Sarwar
Imam Hussain stands alone over the body of his son Ali Akbar while holding a letter from his daughter Sughra. He wonders how to tell her that everyone she loves is gone.
Haay Sughra Bata
Alas, O Sughra, tell me
Maula Matal Mei Sar Ko Jhukaaye Laash-E-Akbar Pe Tanha Khare Hai Dheeme Dheeme Tapakte Hai Aansu Haay Sughra Ka Khat Parh Rahe Hai Bole Kya Mei Jawaab Is Ka Du
The Master stands with his head bowed in grief, Standing alone by the corpse of Akbar. Slowly, tears are falling, Alas, he is reading Sughra's letter, Saying, 'What answer can I give to this?'
Haay Sughra Bata Kya Likhu(n) Aur Sughra Bata Kya Likhu(n)
Alas, O Sughra, tell me what should I write? And O Sughra, tell me what should I write?

To whom should I read your letter now? Who will rise to answer my call? Those who were awake at night have now fallen asleep (in death).
Haay Sughra Wo Bhaayi Tera Jisne Tujh Se Tha Wada Kiya Kha Gayi Usko Karbobala
Alas, O Sughra, that brother of yours, Who had made a promise to you, Karbala has consumed him.

Shab Ko Dulha Banaya Jisse Raas Aayi Na Mehendhi Jisse Royi Sehre Ki Lariyaa(n) Jisse
