Laila Duain Kijiye Jeeta Rahay Akbar

Syed Raza Abbas Zaidi

Imam Hussain returns to the tents to ask Bibi Laila to pray for their son Akbar's safety as he heads to the battlefield. He expresses his deep fear of losing his young son and the pain of the coming tragedy.

NohaShahadat Ali Akbar

Haye Haye Haye

Alas, alas, alas.

Marne Ke Liye Jab Chale Maidan May Akbar Peeche Chale Girte Huwe Uth'te Huwe Sarwar Jab Door Hua Shaah Ki Aakhon Se Wo Dilbar Laut Aaye Kaha Maadar E Akbar Se Ye Ro Kar

When Akbar set out to the battlefield to embrace death, The Master (Hussain) followed, stumbling and rising as he walked. When that beloved youth moved out of the King's sight, He returned and said this, weeping, to Akbar's mother:

Laila Duayein Kijiye Jeeta Rahe Akbar

Laila, offer prayers that Akbar may live.

Bete Ke Haq May Maa Ki Dua Radh Nahi Hoti Ruqsat Ki Ghadi Yaad Hai Tum Bhi To Wahin Thi Akbar Ke Kaleje Se Nazar Hat'ti Nahi Thi Laila Hamare Laal Ka Naazuk Sa Hai Seena Seena Pe Na Beta Mera Khaye Koi Barchi

A mother's prayer for her son is never rejected. Do you remember the time of departure? You were there too. My eyes could not turn away from Akbar's heart. Laila, our son has such a delicate chest; May my son not take a spear to his chest.

Is Baat Pe Shabbir Ka Dil Phat'ta Hai Gham Se Aise To Kabhi Door Na Akbar Huwe Hum Se Akbar Ko Jeeta Dekh Ke Hum Jeete Rahe Hai Akbar Ko Marta Dekh Ke Mar Jayenge Hum Bhi

At this thought, Shabbir's heart tears apart with grief. Akbar has never been this far from me before. I have lived only by seeing Akbar alive; Seeing Akbar die, I too shall die.

Mai Bhool Nahi Paunga Ehsaan Tumhara Is Aalam E Ghurbat May Do Tum Saath Hamara Akbar Mera Jawan Aur Hum Par Hai Zaeefi Hum Se To Jawan Laal Ki Mayyat Na Uthegi

I will never be able to forget your favor, That you stood by me in this land of exile. Akbar is my youth, and I am burdened by old age; I will not be able to carry the funeral bier of my young son.

Ab Jald Dua Ke Liye Haaton Ko Uthalo Ay Maadar E Akbar Meri Zainab Ko Bachalo Athara Saal Usne Hi Akbar Ko Hai Paala Kadiyal Jawan Ki Laash Wo Na Dekh Sakegi

Now quickly raise your hands in prayer; O Mother of Akbar, save my Zainab. She is the one who raised Akbar for eighteen years; She will not be able to bear the sight of the young man's corpse.

Sehre Ke Sajane Ka Jo Armaan Hai Laila Armaan Hi Reh Jayega Akbar Jo Na Aaya Akbar Ko Apne Haath Se Hum Dulha Banaye Atharvi Mannat Bhi To Hum Ko Hai Badhani

The desire to adorn him with a wedding garland, Laila, Will remain just a desire if Akbar does not return. I wanted to make Akbar a bridegroom with my own hands; I still have to fulfill the vow of his eighteenth year.

Awaaz Yehi Aati Hai Sughra Ki Watan Se Ek Baar Mila De Khuda Bhai Ko Behan Se Akbar Se Mil Na Paayi To Mar Jayegi Sughra Maloom Hai Tum Ko Meri Bemaar Hai Beti

This is the voice coming from Sughra in our homeland: 'May God unite the brother with his sister just once.' If she cannot meet Akbar, Sughra will die; You know well that my daughter is ill.

Ye Kehte Huwe Laila Ne Haathon Ko Uthaya Jis Tarha Se Yaqoob Ko Yusuf Se Milaya Akbar Ko Ek Baar Tu Sarwar Se Mila De Shabbir Ki Ye Baat Mai Ab Sun Na Sakungi

Saying this, Laila raised her hands, Just as (Prophet) Yaqoob was reunited with Yusuf. 'Reunite Akbar with the Master (Hussain) just once; I cannot bear to hear these words from Shabbir anymore.'

Laut Aaya Jo Maidan Se Shabbir Ka Dilbar Pyasa Hoo Bahot Baap Se Kehne Lage Akbar Pani Ki Baat Aayi To Rone Lage Maula Qaime Ki Simt Dekh Kar Awaaz Yehi Di

When the beloved of Shabbir returned from the battlefield, Akbar began to say to his father, 'I am very thirsty.' When the mention of water came, the Master began to weep; Looking towards the tents, he gave this call:

Zeeshan O Raza Wo Jawan Phir Ran Ko Sidhara Seene Pe Sine Khaayi To Baba Ko Pukara Pahunche Jawan Ke Paas Jab Rote Huwe Sarwar Barchi Yehi Kehte Huwe Seene Se Nikaali

Zeeshan and Raza, that youth returned to the battlefield once more. When he took the spear to his chest, he called out to his father. When the Master reached the youth, weeping, He pulled the spear from his chest, saying this:
