Ali Aa Gaie…

Ali has arrived...

Jub Khuda Ko Pukara Ali Aagaie, Jub Ali Aagaie Zindagi Aagaie

When I called upon God, Ali arrived, When Ali arrived, life itself arrived.

Zindagi Bandagi Raushni Aagai, Raushni Aagai Aagai Aagai

Life, worship, and enlightenment arrived, Enlightenment arrived, it arrived, it arrived.

Maut Inke Muhibbhon Ko Aati Nahi, Aa Bhi Jaaie To Phir Bach Ke Jaati Nahi Maut Ka Khatar Maut Se Kya Hai Dar, Is Se Bach Na Bhi Kya Aagai Aagai

Death does not come to those who love him, And if it does come, it cannot escape [without bowing to them]. What is the danger of death? Why fear death? What is there to be saved from it? It has arrived.

Teri Masnad Pe Gairon Ko Bithla Diya, Warise Mustafa Mazhar e Kibriya Tu Ali o Wasi o Wali Hi Raha, Manzilat Me Teri Kya Kami Aagaie

They seated strangers upon your throne, O Inheritor of the Prophet, Manifestation of God's Majesty. You remained Ali, the Successor, and the Saint, What deficiency could possibly come to your status?

Hum Ke Sarsar Ishk o Tawalla Me The, Jaante Hi Na The Nafraton Dushmani Yeh Tabarrah Bhi Wallah Kya Cheez Hai, Hum Ko Agiyar Se Dushmani Aagaie

We were completely immersed in love and devotion, We did not even know of hatred or enmity. By God, what a thing this 'Tabarrah' (disassociation) is, That we have learned enmity towards the adversaries.

Maslak e Ishk Me Maangna Aaib Hai, Mai Bhi Khamoosh Hun Woh Bhi Khamosh Hai Unko Sub Hai Khabar Isliye Chup Hun Mai, Kya Hua Aankh Me Gar Nami Aagaie

In the path of love, asking is considered a flaw, I am silent, and He is silent too. He knows everything, which is why I am quiet, What does it matter if a tear has appeared in my eye?

Khums Dena Mawaddat Ki Ek Shart Hai, Aur Na Dena Bhi Misle Fidak Hai Gunah Hak Ke Saadat Zehra Ke Makrrooz Se, Jub Tabarra Suna To Hasi Aagai

Paying Khums is a condition of love (for the Ahl al-Bayt), And not paying it is a sin like the usurpation of Fadak. When I heard the disassociation (Tabarrah) from those who are debtors to the rights of the descendants of Zahra, I had to laugh.

Kyun Na Roie Woh Kismat Ko Apni Sada, Jin Ka Pura Mukddar Hai Lanat Zada Jin Ki Kismat Me Apne Hi Aamal Se Binte Ahmad Ki Naarazgi Aa Gai

Why should they not always weep for their fate, Those whose entire destiny is cursed? Those in whose fate, by their own deeds, The displeasure of the Daughter of Ahmad has arrived.

Sura e Aale Imran Bhi Hai Gawah, Misle Kausar Hui Aal Unko Ata Woh Jo Kehte The Abtar Nabi Ko Mere Unki Kismat Me Hi Abtari Aagai

Surah Aale Imran is also a witness, That the progeny (Aal) was granted to him like Kausar. Those who used to call my Prophet 'Abtar' (cut off/childless), It is in their own fate that 'Abtari' (being cut off) has arrived.

Ishk e Haidar Me Phirte The Shaam o Sahar, Unke Maddah Hai Sare Jin o Bashar Unki Aawargi Ka Safar Dekh Kar, Zahn Me Fikr e Aawargi Aagai

We used to wander morning and evening in the love of Haidar, All Jinn and mankind are his admirers. Seeing the journey of his wandering (devotion), A thought of wandering has entered my mind.

Shairi Ki Sharait Bata Bhi Gaie Aur Mai e Ishk e Haidar Pila Bhi Gaie Sibte Jafar Mai Kurban e Ishk Ke Ibne Jaafar Ko Bhi Shairi Aagai

He taught the conditions of poetry, And he made me drink the wine of Haidar's love. I, Sibte Jafar, am a sacrifice to this love, For even the son of Jafar has learned the art of poetry.
