Laila Ke Dil Se Pucho

Laila Ke Dil Se Pucho

Imran Datoo

This poem remembers the deep sorrows of the Ahlul Bayt after the tragedy of Karbala. It asks us to reflect on the immense pain of a mother who lost her young son.

NohaShahadat Ali Akbar

Sajjad Ko Bhula Na Kabhi Shaam Ka Bazaar Zainab Sare Darbar Ajaayie Imdad Ko, Ya Haidare Karrar, Sajjad Hai Beemaar

Never forget the bazaar of Shaam, where Sajjad was paraded, Zainab stood in the open court, Come to our aid, O Haidar-e-Karrar, for Sajjad is ill.

Rote Hai To Khun Aankhon, Se Behta Hai Subho Shaam, Ye Ranj Ye Aalaam Gardan Mein Gira(n) Tauq Hai, Paaon Mein Chube Khaar, Sajjad Hai Beemaar

When he weeps, blood flows from his eyes, morning and evening, such is his grief and suffering, A heavy iron collar is around his neck, thorns pierce his feet, Sajjad is ill.

Zainab Ke Khule Sar Ko Jo Dekha To Pukaare, Ham Lut Gaye Saare Khu(n) Pusht Se Jaari Hai Ke Hai Durro(n) Ki Bochaad, Haaye Aabide Beemaar

Seeing Zainab's unveiled head, he cried out, 'We have lost everything!' Blood flows from his back due to the rain of lashes, alas, the ill Aabid.

Neze Pe Hai Jo Baap Ka Sar Khun Mein Jo Tar Hai, Qayamat Ka Safar Hai Sone Nahi Deti Hai Ye ZanBete Ki Mawt Ka Gham, Sehti Hai Kaise Maadar, Layla Ke Dil Se Pucho

The father's head is on the spear, soaked in blood; it is a journey of doomsday, The grief of the son's death does not let her sleep; how does a mother endure it? Ask the heart of Laila.

Is Gham Pe, Sabr Kar Na Shikwa Na Lana Lab Par, Layla Ke Dil Se Pucho

In this grief, remain patient, do not bring a complaint to your lips; ask the heart of Laila.

Kohram Ek Bapa Tha Meda'n Laraz Utha Tha Atthara Saal Wala Meda'n Main Jo Gaya Tha Kaise Khabar Suni Thi Aata Hay Nayze Kha Kar Laila K Dil Se Pucho

A great wailing arose, the battlefield trembled, When the eighteen-year-old went into the field, How did she hear the news of him returning struck by spears? Ask the heart of Laila.

Guzri Thi Kia Qayamat Akbar Se Thi Adawat Kya Bataye Koi Ek Maa Ke Dil Ki Haalat Sehti Thi Kia Aziyyat Dil Kis Qadar Tha Muztar Laila Ke Dil Se Pucho

What a doomsday passed, there was such enmity toward Akbar, How can anyone describe the state of a mother's heart? What agony she endured, how restless her heart was; ask the heart of Laila.

Gham Ki Fazaa Se Kaise Khud Ko Nikalti Thi Bay Chain Dil Ko Apne Kaise Sambhaalti Thi Naize Ki Zad Main Tha Jab Seena Tumhara Akbar Laila K Dil Se Pucho

How she would extract herself from the atmosphere of grief, How she would steady her restless heart, When your chest, Akbar, was the target of the spear; ask the heart of Laila.

Sehra Agar Sajana Bhayya Hamain Bulana Sughra Ne Khat Main Likha Ham Ko Na Bhuul Jana Sughra Ke Khat Ko Sun Kar Chalte The Dil Pe Khanjar Laila K Dil Se Pucho

'If you decorate the desert, brother, call us,' Sughra wrote in her letter, 'Do not forget us,' Hearing Sughra's letter, daggers would pierce the heart; ask the heart of Laila.

Khemy Main Leke Lasha Kaise Gaye The Maula Seene Pe Zakhm Akbar Jab Aapke Laga Tha Khemy Se Ran Ki Janib Kaise Gaye The Sarwar Laila K Dil Se Pucho

How did the Master carry the body into the tent, When the wound was struck upon your chest, Akbar, How did the Chief go from the tent toward the battlefield? Ask the heart of Laila.

Zainab Ne Jisko Pala Us Naujawan Ka Lasha Haathoon Pe Shaah E Deen K Ik Maan Ny Kaisy Dekha Pur Dard Hai Ye Manzar Kaise Likhun Main Qaisar Laila K Dil Se Pucho

The body of the youth whom Zainab had raised, How did a mother see it in the hands of the King of Religion? This scene is full of pain, how can I write it, Qaisar? Ask the heart of Laila.

Jeer Ki Jankaar Ay Qul Ke Madadgaar

The clanking of chains, O Helper of all.

Darbaare Yazidi Mein Khade The Sabhi Saadaat, Haaye Zulm Ki Wo Raat Zainab Khule Sar Kehti Thi Ajaao Alamdaar, Sajjad Hai Laachaar

All the noble descendants were standing in Yazid's court, alas, that night of oppression, Zainab, with her head unveiled, would say, 'Come, O Standard-bearer, Sajjad is helpless.'

Dukhiya Thi Sakina Tha Lahu Aankho Se Jaari, Ro Ro Ke Pukaari Rukhsaaro Par Ab Tak Hai Tamacho Ke Bhi Asaar, Suno Aabide Beemaar

Sakina was distressed, blood was flowing from her eyes, she cried out while weeping, Even now, the marks of slaps remain on her cheeks, listen to the ill Aabid.

Safdar Wo Sakina Ka Tadapna Hai Qayamat, Aur Dhoop Ki Shiddat Jallaad Hilaa Deta Hai Zindaan Ko Har Baar, Sajjad Hai Beemaar

Safdar, that writhing of Sakina is like doomsday, and the intensity of the sun, The executioner shakes the prison every time, Sajjad is ill.
