Koi Ghaibat Mei

Mir Hasan Mir

The hidden Imam lives in solitude, spending his days weeping as he remembers the great sorrows of his family in Karbala. He carries the heavy weight of their pain in his heart.

Koi Ghaybat Mei

Someone in occultation

( Koi Ghaibat Mei Betha Khoon Keh Aansoo Bahata Hai )

Someone, sitting in occultation, sheds tears of blood

Usse Zainab Ka Jaab Bazar Jana Yaad Ata Hai

He remembers the time Zainab had to go to the bazaar

Koi Ghamkhar Ghaibat Mei Mayesar Hi Nahi Usko (So Tanhayi Mei Har Noha ) Woh Khud Ko Hi Sunataa Hai

He has no companion available to him in his occultation, so in solitude, he recites every elegy to himself

( Unhi Galiyon Mei Chal Chal Kar Jaha Chalti Rahe Zainab ) Nisha ( N) Zainab Keh Qadmo (N) Keh Woh Hathoo Se Mita Ta Hai

Walking through those very streets where Zainab once walked, he erases the traces of her footsteps with his own hands

( Baqiyye Mei Sada e Wa Hussaina Ghunj Uthti Hai ) ( Woh Jaab Bhi Qabr e Zahra) Aa Keh Seene Se Lagata Hai

The cry of 'Wa Hussaina' echoes in Baqi, whenever he comes to the grave of Zahra and holds it to his chest

( Nahi Thamte Hai Uski Aankh Se Aansoo Kisi Soorat ) Usse Behsheer Ka Jab Muskarana Yaad Ata Hai

The tears from his eyes do not stop in any way, whenever he remembers the smiling face of Behsheer

( Pidar Ki God Ki Khatir Sakina Jab Bhi Roti Hai ) ( Woh Lori Baap Ke ) Lehjey Mei Beti Ko Sunata Hai

Whenever Sakina cries for her father's lap, he sings a lullaby to the daughter in the voice of her father

( Khayaal Ata Hai Jab Bhi Parda e Zainab Ka Mehdi Ko ) Kabhi Talwar Par Woh Haath Rakhta Hai Hatata Hai

Whenever the thought of Zainab's veil comes to Mehdi, he places his hand on his sword, then pulls it back

( Woh Hujjat Hai Ussi Ka Kaam Hai Iss Dard Ko Sehna ) (Kisi Khaqi Keh Dil Mei ) Juan Yeh Gham Kaab Samata Hai

He is the Proof (Hujjat), it is his task to bear this pain; how could this grief ever fit into the heart of a mortal?
