Karo Matam Hussain Ka

Farsh Bichaa Lo Halqa Bana Lo Yeh Keh Raha Hai Mahe Aza

Spread the carpet (of mourning), form a circle, This is what the month of grief (Muharram) is saying.

Yeh Azadari Taaziya Daari Zahra Ke Ghar Se Hai Wafadaari Ansoo Baha Kar Noha Suna Kar Karte Rahengey Ye Pursa Daari Jab Tak Hamari Sansen Hain Baqi Dil Se Yeh Gham Na Hoga Juda

This Azadari (mourning) and Taziya-dari is a sign of loyalty to the house of Zahra (s.a.). By shedding tears and reciting elegies, we will continue to offer condolences. As long as we have breath left, this grief will not be separated from our hearts.

Yeh Jo Hamaray Ghar Par Alam Hai Shahe Wafa Ka Hum Par Karam Hai Saaye Mein Is Ke Maatam Karaingay Jitna Hamaray Seenon Dam Hai Farsh Aza Ka Bichta Rahay Ga Kehte Rahengey Hum Yeh Sada

The standard (Alam) that is upon our house is the grace of the King of Loyalty (Abbas) upon us. In its shadow, we will mourn as long as there is breath in our chests. The carpet of grief will continue to be spread, and we will keep raising this call.

Yeh Maatami Jo Halka Laga Hai Thok Ke Seenah Yeh Keh Raha Hai Maatam Se Hum Ko Rokay Na Koi Zainab Se Hum Ne Wada Kiya Hai Seenay Pay Daaghe Maatam Saja Ke Karte Rahengey Wada Wafa

This circle of mourners that has formed is saying, while beating their chests, Let no one stop us from mourning; we have made a promise to Zainab (s.a.). Adorning our chests with the marks of mourning, we will keep our promise.

Ehley Haram Ko Aur Un Ke Gham Ko Bhool Na Jana Tum Is Karam Ko Jis Ne Khuda Se Manga Tha Ghazi Us Fatima Ne Manga Hai Hum Ko Hai Khush Naseebi Hum Hai Hussaini Aur Hain Duaye Khayrunnisa

Do not forget the Ahl-e-Haram (family of the Prophet) and their grief, do not forget this grace. The same Fatima (s.a.) who asked God for Ghazi (Abbas) has asked for us (as her mourners). It is our good fortune that we are Hussaini, and we are the prayers of the Best of Women (Fatima).

Zahra Hon Raazi Maatam Ho Aisa Jo Is Ka Haq Hai Pursa Ho Waisa Khud Ko Bhula Kar Maatam Karo Tum Ae Azadaron Sharmana Kaisa Hai Yeh Ibadat Chhodo Nazakat Ban Kar Faqeere Karbobala

Let the mourning be such that Zahra (s.a.) is pleased, and the condolences be as is her right. Forget yourselves and mourn, O mourners, why be shy? This is worship; abandon hesitation and become the humble beggars of Karbala.

Sun Kar Bichaao Gham Ka Musalla Hayya Alal Aza Hayya Alal Aza Haath Hamaray Ban Kar Namazi Karte Rahengey Seenay Pay Sajda Baad Iqamat Karlo Niyat Qurbatan Shaahe Wafa

Listen and spread the prayer mat of grief; 'Come to the mourning, come to the mourning.' Our hands, becoming like worshippers, will continue to prostrate upon our chests. After the call to prayer, make your intention for the sake of the King of Loyalty.

Qaid Sitam Se Paake Rihayi Har Bibi Apne Pyaron Ko Roi Us Waqt Lekin Beti Ali Ki Bachon Ko Apne Bilkul Na Roi Chhootey Se Haae Do Sir Jab Aaye Bibiyon Se Zainab Ne Kaha

Upon gaining release from the prison of oppression, every lady wept for her loved ones. But at that time, the daughter of Ali (Zainab) did not weep for her own children at all. When the two small severed heads arrived, Zainab said to the ladies...

Ghar Ghar Mein Maatam Ki Jo Sada Hai Yeh Ehtijaj Karbobala Hai Baatil Ke Mun Pay Hai Ye Tamache Is Ne Hi Haq Ko Zindah Rakha Hai Zeeshan Hum Ko Darwaish Gham Ko Bedaar Rakhti Hai Yeh Sada

The cry of mourning that is in every home is the protest of Karbala. It is a slap on the face of falsehood; this is what has kept the Truth alive. Zeeshan, this cry keeps us, the dervishes of grief, awakened.
