Le Chalo Baba

Le Chalo Baba

Irfan Haider

Bibi Sughra, left behind in Medina while her family travels to Karbala, begs her father Imam Hussain to take her with them. She promises to help care for the family and the children during the difficult journey.

Jab Madine Se Chala Khaafla Karbobala Tha Ye Sughra Ke Labon Par Noha Apne Hamraah Suye Karbobala

When the caravan set out from Medina for Karbala, this lament was on Sughra's lips: "Take me along with you towards Karbala."

Le Chalo Baba Mujhe Le Chalo Baba

Take me along, Father, take me along, Father.

Aap Ki Yaad Mein Ro Ro Ke Mai Marja'ungi Baba Akbar Ki Qasam Chain Nahi Pa'ungi Meri Saanson Ka Bharosa Na Raha

I will die weeping in your memory. Father, I swear by Akbar, I will find no peace. My breath is no longer to be trusted.

Kafile Walon Ko Pani Bhi Pila'ungi Mai Apni Aaghosh Mein Asghar Ko Sula'ungi Mai Baba Ye Aap Se Waada Hai Mera

I will give water to the travelers of the caravan. I will lull Asghar to sleep in my embrace. Father, this is my promise to you.

Mere Kaano Mein Jo Awaaz E Azan Aayegi Mere Akbar Ki Mujhe Yaad Bahot Aayegi Bhai Ki Yaad Na Ban Jaye Qaza

When the sound of the Adhan reaches my ears, I will miss my Akbar dearly. May the memory of my brother not become the cause of my death.

Kaise Akbar Ke Bina Eid Guzaar'ungi Mai Kabhi Tumko Kabhi Ammu Ko Pukar'ungi Mai Jab Koi Paas Na Hoga Baba

How will I spend Eid without Akbar? I will call out for you, sometimes for my uncle, when there is no one near me, Father.

Dhoop Aur Garm Hawa Hogi Safar Mein Dekho Apne Aanchal Mein Chupa'lungi Ali Asghar Ko Yu Na Asghar Ko Karo Mujhse Juda

Look, there will be heat and hot winds on the journey. I will hide Ali Asghar in my veil. Do not separate Asghar from me like this.

Khwab Akbar Ki Uroosi Ke Bahot Dekhe Thay Khaak Hojayenge Ay Baba Sab Armaan Mere Dil Yehi Soch Ke Rota Hai Mera

I had seen many dreams of Akbar's wedding. Oh Father, all my desires will turn to dust. My heart weeps thinking of this.

Chacha Abbas Aur Sakina Phupi Zainab Se Aakhri Baar Mila Do Mujhe Baba Sab Se Phir Ye Bemaar Nahi Degi Sada

Let me meet Uncle Abbas, Sakina, and Aunt Zainab one last time, Father. Then this sick one will not call out again.

Bhaiya Abid Ko Dawa Roz Pilaungi Mai Unki Raahon Mein Nigahon Ko Bichaungi Mai Tum Kaneezo Ki Tarha Behre Khuda

I will give medicine to brother Abid every day. I will lay my eyes upon his path. For the sake of God, treat me like one of your servants.

Acha Mehmil Mein Mujhe Tum Na Bithana Baba Tum Mujhe Raah Mein Paidal Hi Chalana Baba Na Karungi Mai Shikayat Na Gila

Fine, do not seat me in the litter, Father. Make me walk on foot on the path, Father. I will make no complaint, no grievance.

Maine Maana Ke Nahi Kaam Mera Mehzar Mein Baba Itna To Batado Ke Akele Ghar Mein Zinda Reh Payegi Sughra Tanha

I admit that I have no role in the battlefield. Father, just tell me this: in this lonely house, will Sughra be able to stay alive alone?

Jab Kabhi Hoke Madine Se Hawa Aati Hai Aaj Bhi Mazhar O Irfan Ye Sada Aati Hai Apne Hamraah Suye Karbobala

Whenever the wind blows from Medina, even today, Mazhar and Irfan, this voice comes: "Take me along with you towards Karbala."
