Ilahi Al-Madad Hai Rasta Dushwar
Saleem Balrampuri · 2013
This poem honors the courage of Hazrat Abbas, the son of Imam Ali, who remained steadfast by the river despite intense thirst.
Ilahi Al-Madad Hai Rasta Dushwar
O My Lord, grant me Your help, for the path is difficult.
Paani Me
In the water.
Qadam Rakhta Nahi Hai Fikr Ka Rahwaar Paani Me
The steed of thought dares not set foot In the water.
Hai Aisi Baher Jis Per Ashk Bahre-E-Bekaran To Hai Radif Aisi Ke Doobe Qafiya Har Baar Paani Me
It is a meter upon which endless tears flow, A refrain so deep that every rhyme drowns In the water.
Jahan Har Misra Aata Ho Libes-E-Tashnagi Pahne Wahan Mumkin Nahi Sarebiye Ash'aar Paani Me
Where every verse arrives wearing the garment of thirst, There, it is impossible to compose poetry In the water.
Parakhna Aag Me Sone Ka Sunte Aaye The Lekin Ali Ke Laal Ka Parkha Gaya Kirdaar Paani Me
We had only heard of gold being tested in fire, but The character of Ali's son was tested In the water.
Muqabil Sher Ke Aate Jo Pahredar Paani Me To Hote Ek Ke Do, Aur Do Ke Char Paani Me
Had the guards come to face the Lion In the water, One would have become two, and two would have become four In the water.
Pighal Jata Hai Pathar Tashnagi Ki Aag Me Pad Kar Bikhar Jaati Hai Jaise Ret Ki Deewar Paani Me
Even stone melts when cast into the fire of thirst, Like a wall of sand, it crumbles In the water.
Suboot-E-Qabzaye Saqqa Hai Dariya Per Abhi Rauza Batata Hai Utar Kar Saya-E-Deewar Paani Me
The shrine still stands on the river as proof of the Saqqa's dominion, Its shadow descending to tell the tale In the water.
