Jaao Ke Na Ab Deyr Karo

Go now, do not delay any longer.

Qafela Lutgaya Amma Mera Lashkar Na Raha, Amma Nana Ki Nishaani Ali Akbar Na Raha, Rehgaya Dard-E-Kamar Haaye Baradar Na Raha. Ab Khabar Aapne Li Ghar Ki Ke Jab Ghar Na Raha. Aur Ab Dam-E-Zibha Ye Pure Mere Armaa(n) Karna. Arsh Ke Niche Na Baalo(n) Ko Parishaa(n) Karna

Mother, my caravan has been plundered, my army is no more. Mother, Ali Akbar, the likeness of the Prophet, is no more. The pain of my back remains, alas, my brother is no more. Now you have come to check on the house, when the house itself is no more. And now, at the moment of my slaughter, fulfill these desires of mine: do not dishevel your hair beneath the Throne of God.

Ab Laal Tera Zeen Pe Hai Aur Na Zamee(n) Par, Jaao Ke Na Ab Deyr Karo, Dekho Na Amma, Ab Laal Tera Zeen Pe Hai Aur Na Zamee(n) Par

Your son is neither on the saddle nor on the earth anymore. Go now, do not delay; do not look, Mother, your son is neither on the saddle nor on the earth anymore.

Aap Aayi Hai Amma Mei Salaami Ko Na Uttha Hai Dard Kaleje Mei Jo Uthna Nahi Deta Hasrat Se Tere Pehle Mei Dam Mera Nikalta Mei Cheyn Se Sojata Tere God Mei Madar

Mother, you have come, but I cannot rise to greet you. There is such pain in my heart that it will not let me rise. I wish my soul had departed before yours, Mother, so I could have slept peacefully in your lap.

Are Kuch Deyr Mei Neze Pe Rakha Honga Mera Sar Na Dekhna Us Waqt Mujhe Madar-E-Muztar Chaljayenga Us Waqt Tere Qalb Pe Khanjar Gore Abhi Dorenge Meri Laash Ke Uppar

In a little while, my head will be placed upon a spear. Do not look at me then, distressed Mother. A dagger will pierce your heart at that moment, for the horses will soon trample over my corpse.

Mei Subh Se Ta Asr Uthata Raha Lashe Daman Mei Chune Qasim-E-Nawshaah Ke Tukre Lipta Ali Akbar Ka Kaleja Tha Sina Se Amma Mere Chehre Pe Hai Khun-E-Ali Asghar

From morning until the afternoon, I kept lifting the bodies. I gathered the pieces of the young bridegroom Qasim in my cloak. Ali Akbar's heart was pressed against my chest; Mother, my face is stained with the blood of Ali Asghar.

Is Haal Mei Amma Hai Teri God Ka Pala Maqtal Mei Mera Khogaya Har Eik Ujaala Hai Kon Sakina Ko Meri Poochne Wala Soeyngi Mere Sine Pe Kaise Meri Dukhtar

Mother, this is the state of the one raised in your lap. Every light of mine has been lost in this slaughterhouse. Who is there to ask after my Sakina? How will my daughter sleep on my chest now?

Dekho To Qayamt Hai Bapa Ehl-E-Haram Mei Khayme Se Nikal Aayi Hai Zainab Mere Gham Mei Ab Ane Ko Hai Bibiya(n) Bahar Koi Dam Mei Samjaawo Unhe Amma Rahe Khayme Ke Andar

Look, there is chaos among the women of the household. Zainab has come out of the tent in grief for me. The ladies will be coming out any moment now; Mother, persuade them to stay inside the tent.

Lo Saans Ubharne Lagi Dil Doob Raha Hai Nazro(n) Mei Meri Zainab-E-Muztar Ki Rida Hai Abid Se Thi Umeed So Wo Ghash Mei Para Hai Kya Honga Mere Baad Sakina Ka Muqaddar

My breath is struggling, my heart is sinking. The veil of the distressed Zainab is before my eyes. I had hope in Abid, but he lies unconscious. What will be the fate of Sakina after I am gone?

Ay "Sarwar-O-Rehan" Bayaan Kaise Ho Manzar Sheh Kehte The Amma Ye Kara Waqt Hai Mujpar Kistarha Kaleje Se Lagu Aapke Uth Kar Kyu Munga Qadam Aapke Ab Mei Lab-E-Quasar

O Sarwar and Rehan, how can this scene be described? The King (Hussain) said, 'Mother, this is a difficult time for me. How can I rise and embrace you? Why would I not kiss your feet now at the banks of the Kauthar?'
