Haye Jab Imam Main Bana
Nadeem Sarwar · 2013
Imam Sajjad remembers the moment he became the leader of the family after the tragedy of Karbala. His aunt Bibi Zainab comforts him amidst the burning tents.
Marsiya Tha Ik Ghareeb Ka (Haaye Jab Imam A.s Main Bana)
It was the elegy of a stranger (Alas, when I became the Imam)
Haaye Aashur Ko Ghash Se Jo Phuphi A.s Jaan Ney Uthaaya Jalta Hua Lut'ta Hua Samaan Nazar Aaya Baba A.s Na Alamdaar A.s Na Lashkar Tha Hamara Maan Behno'n Ke Sar Per Bhi Ridaa'on Ko Naa Paya Uss Haal Main Dastaar-e-Imamat Ko Sambhala
Alas, when my dear aunt awoke from her faint on Ashura, She saw the scene burning and being plundered. Neither my father, nor the standard-bearer, nor our army remained, She could not find veils on the heads of mothers and sisters, In that state, I took up the mantle of Imamate.
Chhaa Chuki Thi Shaam Ki Ghatta Jal Raha Tha Haaye Ghar Mera A.s Lut Raha Tha Maal o Zar Mera A.s Hanss Rahey They Ham A.s Pe Ashkiyaa Saamney Phuphi A.s Thin Berida
The clouds of the evening had gathered, Alas, my house was burning, My wealth and possessions were being looted, The enemies were laughing at us, And before me, my aunt stood unveiled.
Merey Samney Thi Karbala Girya o Buka Ka Shor Tha Mayyatain Pari Theen Jaa Ba Jaa Ro Rahi Thi Nehr-e-Alqama Aur Main Ye Dekhta Raha
Karbala was before my eyes, There was a clamor of weeping and wailing, Dead bodies lay scattered everywhere, The river Alqama was weeping, And I kept watching this.
Mujh Se Keh Rahi Thin Ye Phuphi S.a Masnad-e-Rasool S.a.w.w Jal Gai Chal Gai Hussain A.s Per Chhurri Ab Imam-e-Waqt A.s Ho Tumhi Ho Rahi Thi Aisey Ibteda
My aunt was saying to me, The seat of the Prophet has burned, The knife has passed over Hussain, Now you are the Imam of the time, This is how the beginning was unfolding.
Haaye Shaamiyo'n Ka Ashdahaam Aur Wo Ghairato'n Ka Qatal-e-Aam Khoon Ro Raha Tha Subh-o-Shaam Keh Ke Haaye Shaam Haaye Shaam Kyun Naa Uss Ghari Main A.s Mar Gaya
Alas, the crowd of the Syrians, And that massacre of honor, Morning and evening, blood was weeping, Saying 'Alas, O Shaam, alas, O Shaam', Why did I not die in that moment?
Aaj Ham Pe Tang Hai Zameen Ro Rahi Hain Zainab-e-Hazeen S.a Main Ba Haisiyat Imam-e-Deen A.s Rakh Raha Hoon Khaak Per Jabeen Kar Raha Hoon Sajda-e-Khuda
Today the earth is narrow for us, The sorrowful Zainab is weeping, I, in the capacity of the Imam of the Faith, Am placing my forehead upon the dust, Performing the prostration to God.
Sarwar o Zafar Wo Shaam-e-Gham Haaye Wo Musibat o Alam Wo Yateem-e-Shah A.s Per Sitam Mar Raha Tha Jo Qadam Qadam Keh Raha Tha Jo Basad Buka
Sarwar and Zafar, that evening of grief, Alas, that calamity and sorrow, That oppression upon the orphan of the King, Who was dying with every step, Who was saying with a hundred cries.
