Haai Shaam Ka Baazaar

Alas, the bazaar of Shaam.

Sajjad Se Rone Ka Sabab Puch Raha Hai Jo Shaam Me Guzri Hai Woh Sab Puch Rahaa Hai

They are asking Sajjad the reason for his weeping, They are asking about everything that transpired in Shaam.

Woh Lakho Tamasai Be Parda Fufi Behne Aise Na Lahu Roye Bimaar Ki Fir Aakhen Is Gam Ki Aziyyat Ne Use Maar Diya Hai

Those millions of spectators, and my aunt and sisters unveiled, Never before had the eyes of the ailing Imam wept such tears of blood, The agony of this grief has killed him.

Kis Tarah Karaar Aaye Bimaar Ko Ay Logon Sar Naizon Pe Pairon Ke Aate Hai Nazar Jisko Yeh Juror Musafir Ki Yeh Kaisi Sazaa Hai

How can the ailing Imam find peace, O people? When he sees the heads on spears walking alongside his feet, What kind of punishment is this for these innocent travelers?

Aakhon Se Hai Khun Zaari Khar Hai Bimaari Janjir Hai Pairon Me Aur Tawk Bhi Hai Bhaari Jalti Hai Zamin Saari Aur Garm Hawaa Hai

Blood flows from his eyes, and illness is a thorn, There are chains on his feet and a heavy yoke around his neck, The entire earth is burning and the wind is scorching.

Zaagir Nahi Maangi Zanjir Nahi Badli Saaye Me Nahi Baitha Poshaak Nahi Badli Maan Behno Ki Khaatir Woh Rida Maang Raha Hai

He did not ask for property, he did not change his chains, He did not sit in the shade, he did not change his clothes, For the sake of his mother and sisters, he is asking for the veils (Rida).

Zinda Se Masaaeb Bhi Har Waqt Rulaate Hai Mar Jaye Na Zainab Ye Kahi Shoch Rha Hai

Even the tragedies of the prison make him weep at every moment, He is wondering if Zainab might die from this grief.

Jinda Se Rihaa Hoke Bhi Jinda Me Hain Sajjad Ek Nanhi Si Turbat Karti Hai Faryaad Markar Bhi Rahun Qaid Me Kya Meri Khataa Hai

Even after being released from the prison, Sajjad remains in the prison, A small grave cries out, 'What is my crime, that even after death I must remain in captivity?'

Be Zakhm Bhi Sajjad Ko Jine Nahi Deta Zakhmon Se Sakina Ke Jo Chipkaa Raha Kurtaa Woh Khun Bharaa Kurta Hi Kafan Us Ko Banaa Hai

Even without wounds, life does not let Sajjad live, He, who was peeling the shirt stuck to Sakina's wounds, That blood-soaked shirt became her shroud.

Baazaar Me Darbaar Me Jinda Me Roye Chaalis Baraz Mawt Ke Armaan Me Roye Rehan Mera Maula Tadaptaa Hi Rahaa Hai

He wept in the bazaar, in the court, and in the prison, For forty years he wept, longing for death, Rehan, my Master has remained in constant anguish.
