Jannat Ke Do Shehzaade

Irfan Haider

The two princes of heaven, Hasan and Hussain, faced great suffering on earth. One was poisoned and the other was killed in the desert of Karbala.

(Janaat Ke Do Shezade Zehra Ke Dil Ke Chen)

The two princes of Paradise, the comfort of Zehra's heart.

(Shezada-E-Hasan Shezada-E-Hussain)

Prince Hasan, Prince Hussain.

Ik Shahazada-E-Sabzkaba (Ummat Ne Jisko Zahr Diya) Ik Shezade Per Teg Chali Roti He Jisko Kerbobala

One prince, the wearer of green, was given poison by the Ummah. Upon the other prince, the sword fell; Karbala weeps for him.

Tabut Ko Ik Shezade Ke (Tiro Ne Sajaya Wawaila) Ik Shezade Ke Laashe Ko Tiro Ne Uthaya Wawaila

Alas! Arrows adorned the coffin of one prince. Alas! Arrows lifted the body of the other prince.

Jo Teer Janeze Per Aye (Wo Teer Chale The Khaiber Se) Paiwast Huwe Jab Lasho Me Wo Teer Bikhar Te The Nale

The arrows that struck the funeral bier were the same that had flown since Khaibar. When they pierced the bodies, cries of lamentation scattered everywhere.

Janaat Se Inhey Shezado Ke (Malboos Khuda Ne Bheje The) Nam Pake Muhammed Ke Jinke Un Shezado Per Zulm Huwe

God had sent garments from Paradise for these very princes. Those who bore the holy name of Muhammad, such tyranny was inflicted upon them.

Yasrab Me Rahen Ya Karbel Me (Ansu Na Kahi Rukh Ne Paye) Ye Soch Ke Akser Rota Hu Ye Log Zamin Pe Kyu Ayen

Whether they stayed in Yathrib or in Karbala, their tears could never be staunched. I often weep thinking, why did these holy souls even come to this earth?

Kya Khub Bapa Ho Ka Badla (Dono Ko Diya Is Dunya Ne) Be Dard Zamene Se Laikin Kaarte Hi Rahe Ta Umr Wafa

What a fine reward for loyalty this world gave to both of them. Yet, despite a heartless world, they remained loyal until the end of their lives.

Farman-E-Ali Ye Shehre Khuda (Beto Ne Sahe Kya Rang Aur Mahan) Ik Shezada Ko Zehr Mila Ik Shezada Mehroom-E-Kafan

This is the decree of Ali, the City of God: see what trials the sons endured. One prince received poison, the other prince was denied a shroud.

In Shezado Ko Zehra Ne Kal (Chaki Pis Ke Pala Thaa) Ye Shezade Jab Katl Huwe Kar Te The Paygamber Bhi Noha

Zehra had raised these princes in the past by grinding the hand-mill herself. When these princes were martyred, even the Prophet lamented for them.

En Shezado Ke Julo Ko (Jibril Julaya Ker Te The) Lasho Pe Inhi Shehzado Ke Ye Keh Ke Farishte Rote The

Gabriel used to illuminate the procession of these princes. Upon the bodies of these very princes, the angels would weep, saying this.
