Haye Haye Ali Asghar

Mir Sajjad Mir

A mother mourns her baby Ali Asghar after he is lost in the desert of Karbala. She remembers his small life and the tragedy that took him.

NohaShahadat Ali Asghar

Haye Haye Ali Asghar

Alas, alas, Ali Asghar

Maa Ke Dulhare Ali Asghar Aankho Ke Taare Ali Asghar Aag Lagi Hai Khaimo Me Ae Mere Pyare Ali Asghar

Mother's beloved, Ali Asghar Light of my eyes, Ali Asghar Fire has broken out in the tents Oh my dearest, Ali Asghar

Maa Kehti Thi Jalte Huye Jhule Se Lipat Kar

Clinging to the burning cradle, the mother would say:

Har Simt Nazar Ata Hai Maqtal Me Andhera Tum Raat Ko Uth Jao Agar Neend Se Beta Gabhrana Nahi Paas Hai Bhayya Ali Akbar

Darkness is visible everywhere in the battlefield If you wake up from your sleep at night, my son Do not be afraid, your brother Ali Akbar is nearby

Jis Teer Se Naake Ko Girate Hai Zameen Par Wo Teer Laga Nanhe Se Halkum Pe Aa Kar Tum Khoon Ugalte Rahe Baba Se Lipatkar

The arrow used to fell a camel to the ground Struck your tiny throat You kept spitting blood, clinging to your father

Qatil Tera Mil Jaaye To Khud Poochh Lu Us Se Kya Jurm Tha Chhe Maah Ke Bachche Ka Bata De Us Ne To Bulaya Bhi Nahi Maa Mujhe Keh Kar

If I could find your killer, I would ask him myself Tell me, what was the crime of a six-month-old child? He didn't even call out to me, saying 'Mother'

Zalim Ne Tujhe Kabr Se Is Tarha Nikala Seene Pe Laga Jis Ghadi Asghar Tere Naiza Mayyat Ko Teri Dekh Ke Bola Ali Akbar

The tyrant pulled you from the grave in such a way The moment the spear struck your chest, Asghar Seeing your corpse, Ali Akbar cried out

Ab Tak Meri Aankho Se Wo Manzar Nahi Jata Gardan Se Teri Khoon Tapakta Raha Beta Rumaal Bhi Bandha Na Gaya Tere Gale Par

That scene still does not leave my eyes Blood kept dripping from your neck, my son I could not even tie a handkerchief around your throat

Majboor Thi Ghar Me Tere Paani Hi Nahi Tha Kis Tarha Dhulati Bhala Me Khoon Bhara Chehra Dadi Se Shikayat Nahi Karna Meri Jaa Kar

I was helpless, there was no water in the house for you How could I have washed your blood-stained face? Do not go and complain about me to your grandmother

Tum Mar Gaye Ye Baat Abhi Tak Nahi Maani Zid Karti Hai Bhai Ko Pilaungi Me Paani Kuza Liye Maqtal Me Khadi Hai Teri Khwahar

She still has not accepted that you have died She insists, 'I will give water to my brother' Your sister stands in the battlefield, holding a water-jug

Mara Hai Sitamgar Ne Sakina Ko Tamacha Ghazi Ki Tarha Tumse Bhi Dekha Nahi Jata Bandh Aankhe Kiye Rote Ho Tum Nauke Sina Par

The oppressor has slapped Sakina Like Ghazi, you too cannot bear to watch You are weeping with closed eyes upon the tip of the spear

[Sajjad] Wo Kehti Thi Chala Bhi Nahi Jata Do Char Kadam Baad Hi Gir Jaati Hu Beta Meri Bhi Qamar Kham Hai Teri Laash Utha Kar

[Sajjad] She would say, 'I cannot even walk' 'After just a few steps, I fall, my son' 'My back too is bent from carrying your corpse'
