Jis Dam Hussain Zeen Se Aaye Zameen Par

Jis Dam Hussain Zeen Se Aaye Zameen Par

Syed Raza Abbas Zaidi · 2023

Imam Hussain lies on the hot sand of Karbala and speaks to his mother, Bibi Fatima, about the pain he feels. He asks her to shield his daughter Sakina from seeing his final moments.

Jis Dum Hussain Zeen Se Aaye Zameen Par Aankho Mein Khaak Aur Badan Tha Lahoo Mein Tarr Jab Sar Utha Ke Dekha To Dhundhla Gayi Nazar Dekha Koi Zaeefa Chali Aati Hai Idhar Amma Ki Khushbu Aayi To Uthne Lage Hussain Tazeem Jab Na Ho Saki, Kehne Lage Hussain

The moment Hussain descended from the saddle to the earth, with dust in his eyes and his body soaked in blood. When he raised his head to look, his vision blurred; he saw an elderly lady approaching. When the fragrance of his Mother arrived, Hussain tried to rise, but unable to stand in respect, Hussain began to say:

Zakhm Itne Hai Ke Uttha Nahi Jaata Amma Milke Nau Laakh Ne Itna Mujhe Maara Amma

I have so many wounds that I cannot rise, Mother. Nine hundred thousand enemies gathered and struck me so much, Mother.

Isse Pehle Ki Meri Beti Yeh Dekhe Aake Shimr Se Keh Do Utar Jaye Mere Seene Se Dekho Soti Hai Yaha'n, Meri Sakina Amma

Before my daughter comes and sees this, tell Shimr to descend from my chest. Look, my Sakina is sleeping here, Mother.

Haye Pardes Mein Yeh Waqt Hai Kaisa Hum Par Dekho Tum Pani Pilati Thi Jise Uth Uthkar Aaj Aghosh Mein, Mar Jaega Pyaasa Amma

Alas, what a time has befallen us in this foreign land. Look at the one whom you used to lift and give water to; today, in my embrace, he will die thirsty, Mother.

Maine Dekha Hai Use Chehre Ke Bal Girte Hue Kat Chuke Haath Mera Bhai Uthega Kaise Deke Aawaz Use, Tum Na Bulana Amma

I saw him falling face-first. His hands are severed, how will my brother rise? Do not call out to him, Mother.

Gurz Talwar O Tabar, Naiza O Bhala Maara Jisko Kuch Bhi Na Mila Usne Tamacha Maara Mujhpe Barsa Diya, Jo Haath Mein Aaya Amma

They struck with maces, swords, axes, spears, and lances. Whoever found nothing else, struck me with a slap. They rained down upon me whatever came to their hands, Mother.

Usne Dekha Hai Abhi Sirf Mera Zakhmi Badan Lad Khadate Hui Girti Hai Sambhalti Hai Bahan Kaise Dekhegi Bahan, Bhai Ka Marna Amma

She has only seen my wounded body so far. Stumbling and falling, my sister tries to steady herself. How will my sister bear to see her brother dying, Mother?

Haye Shabbir Ne Yeh Maa Se Kaha Ro Ro Kar Chalne Wala Hai Meri Sukhi Rago'n Par Khanjar Meri Gardan Pe Abhi, Haath Na Rakhna Amma

Alas, Shabbir said this to his Mother, weeping: The dagger is about to run across my parched veins. Do not place your hand on my neck just yet, Mother.

Itne Armaan Mere Dil Mein Hi Dum Tod Gaye Dekho Tanha Ali Akbar Bhi Hume Chhod Gaye Chidd Gaya Barchi Se, Akbar Ka Kaleja Amma

So many of my desires died within my heart. Look, even Ali Akbar has left me alone. Akbar’s heart was pierced by a spear, Mother.

Akhri Waar Hua Kat Gaya Shabbir Ka Sar Maa Tadapti Rahi Zeeshan O Raza Ro Ro Kar Gunjta Reh Gaya, Maqtal Mein Ye Noha Amma

The final blow struck, and Shabbir’s head was severed. Mother kept writhing in agony, while Zeeshan and Raza wept. This lament remained echoing in the battlefield, Mother.
