Koi Ho To Chale
Nadeem Sarwar · 2003
The poem calls out to the world, asking if anyone will stand up to help the lonely Imam Hussain as he faces the aftermath of the battle. It reflects on the suffering of his family and the heavy chains placed upon them.
Koi Ho To Chaale Khudaya
O God, if there is anyone, let them come forward.
Koi Ho To Chale
If there is anyone, let them come forward.
Qaafile So Gaya Maqtal Mein Sare Shaam Sabhi Reh Gaya Qaafila Saalar
The entire caravan has fallen asleep in the battlefield by evening; Only the leader of the caravan remains.
Aik Beta Hai Jo Gehwaare Se Utra Naa Kabhi Doosra Beta Hai Beemar
There is one son who never descended from his cradle, And the other son is ill.
Khud Ko Jhule Se Ghira Dete Hai Jaane Waale Kown Aisa Hai Wafaadar
Those who depart cast themselves from the cradle (of sacrifice); Who else is as loyal as this?
Reh Gaya Naizon Ke Jangal Mein Musaffir Tanha Ye Shahadat Ke Hain Aasar
The traveler remains alone in the forest of spears; These are the signs of martyrdom.
Lamha Lamha Ye Sadaa Deti Hai Aashoor Ki Shaam Beriyan Hoti Hain Tayyar
Moment by moment, the evening of Ashura calls out: The shackles are being prepared.
Allah Allah Ye Lahu Pehnaye Huwe Tanhaayi Lut Gayi Kis Ki Ye Sarkaar
O God, this solitude draped in blood; Whose household has been looted?
Ye Hain Naamoos-E-Nabi Khayme Se Kaise Nikle Kya Kare Saahib-E-Kirdaar
These are the honored ladies of the Prophet, how can they leave the tent? What is the man of character to do?
Jaane Ye Kown Pase Khayma Hai Girya Girya Hai Koi Is Ka Azaadar
Who knows who is weeping behind the tent? Is there any mourner for them?
Jis Tarha Se Dare Zindaan Pe Sakina Ro Eey Saath Roo-Ay- Daro Deewaar
The way Sakina wept at the door of the prison, The very doors and walls wept with her.
Kis Ke Lehje Mein Ali Bol Rahen Hai Logo Kown Bola Sar-E-Darbaar
In whose tone is Ali speaking, O people? Who spoke in the court?
Beriyaan Jis Ki Musibat Pe Lahu Roti Hain Kown Aaya Sar-E-Baazar
The one whose shackles weep blood at her suffering, Who has come to the marketplace?
Jo Ho Us Fawj-E-Mukhaalif Ka Sipahi Na Chale Han Magar Hurr Ka Tarafdaar
Let no soldier of that opposing army come forward, Unless it is a supporter of Hurr.
Ye Sadaa Aaj Bhi Maqtal Se Hilal Aati Hai Kown Haq Ka Hai Talabgaar
Even today, this call comes from the battlefield, Hilal: Who is the seeker of the Truth?
