Khud Baap Jawaan Laal Ki Mayyit Ko Uthaaye

Khud Baap Jawaan Laal Ki Mayyit Ko Uthaaye

Mir Hasan Mir

A father carries the body of his young son across the battlefield. He prays that no parent ever has to witness such a tragedy.

NohaShahadat Ali Akbar

Khud Baap Jawaan

The father himself, the youth

Khud Baap Jawaan Laal Ki Mayyit Ko Uthaaye, Khud Baap Jawaan Laal Ki

The father himself carries the bier of his young son, the father himself [carries] his young son.

Ya Rab Kisi Dushman Pe Bhi Yeh Waqt Na Aaye

O Lord, may this time not come upon even an enemy.

Sheh Se Ali-Akbar Ka Janaza Na Uthega Dariyaa Se Koi Jaake Alamdar Ko Laaye

The Imam cannot lift Ali Akbar's funeral bier; someone go to the river and bring the Standard-bearer.

Yunh Tez Kadam Jaanibe Khaima Chale Sarwar Ghabraake Kahin Ran Mai Na Zainab Nikal Aaye

The Master walks with such hurried steps towards the tents, lest, in panic, Zainab comes out onto the battlefield.

Sehre Ki Jagaa Dekhe Jawaan Bete Ki Mayyat Taqdeer Kisi Maa Ko Yeh Manzar Na Dikhaaye

Instead of a wedding garland, she sees the bier of her young son; may fate never show this sight to any mother.

Yunh Shaam Pohonchne Ki "Taqallum" Ko Hai Jaldi Noha Ali-Akbar Ka Woh Zainab Ko Sunaaye

Taqallum is in such a hurry to reach Shaam, so that he may recite the lament of Ali Akbar to Zainab.
