Maa Raaito Illa Jamila

Ali Deep Rizvi

In the court of the tyrant Yazid, Bibi Zainab stands tall and declares that she saw only beauty in the tragedy of Karbala. She reminds the oppressor that the truth of her family will live forever.

NohaZindan Shaam

Pucha Jab Yazeed (L.a) Ne Darbar E Shaam Mein, Manzar Yeh Karbala Ka Tumhe Kis Tarha Laga, Samjha Tha Woh Ke Zainab E Dilgeer Royengi, Lekin Ali Beti Ne Jurrat Se Yeh Kaha,

When Yazid (may he be cursed) asked in the court of Shaam, "How did you find the spectacle of Karbala?" He thought that the sorrowful Zainab would weep, but the daughter of Ali said with courage:

Maa Ra'aito Illa Jamila, Maa Ra'aito Illa Jamila

I saw nothing but beauty, I saw nothing but beauty.

Bint E Haider Ki Yahi Darbar Me Goonji Sada, Kya Samjhta Hai Yazeed E Asr Tu Karbobala...

This was the voice that echoed in the court from the daughter of Haider, What do you understand of Karbala, O Yazid of the era?

We are the heirs of Truth, we are the heirs of the Quran. We are the heirs of God's religion, we are the entirety of faith. Until the Day of Judgment, Karbala is the identity of Islam. What do you understand of Karbala, O Yazid of the era?

Thi Khabar Humko Madiney Se Chala Jab Qafela, Jante Thy Imtehaan E Sabr Hai Rab Ki Reza, Chal Raha Tha Yeh Nabi Ke Daur Se Hi Silsila, Kya Samjhta Hai Yazeed E Asr Tu Karbobala...

Mai Aqeela E Bani Hashim Hu Bint E Murtaza, Meri Maadar Syeda Hai Aur Nana Mustafa , Tu Nijasat Ka Gharana Dekh Yeh Shajra Mera, Kya Samjhta Hai Yazeed E Asr Tu Karbobala...

I am the wise lady of the Bani Hashim, the daughter of Murtaza (Ali). My mother is Syeda (Fatima) and my grandfather is Mustafa (the Prophet). You are a house of impurity, look at my lineage. What do you understand of Karbala, O Yazid of the era?

Tu Samjhta Hai Shaheedon Ka Lahoo Chup Jayega, Shoor E Matam Har Jagha Duniya Ko Yeh Batlayega, Maarqa Yeh Haq O Baatil Ka Hai Yeh Haq Ki Sada, Kya Samjhta Hai Yazeed E Asr Tu Karbobala...

Teen Deen Bhuka O Pyaasa Aale Ahmad Ko Rakha, Zulm Jo Bhi Ho Saka Tujhse Rawa Tune Kiya, Ladke Jaan De Di Nahi Sar Tere Aage Jhuk Saka, Kya Samjhta Hai Yazeed E Asr Tu Karbobala...

You kept the family of Ahmad hungry and thirsty for three days. You committed every cruelty that you could. They fought and gave their lives, but their heads could not bow before you. What do you understand of Karbala, O Yazid of the era?

Sine Mein Barchhi Ka Phaal Akbar Ko Maara Bekhata, Qasim O Asghar O Ghazi Pe Sitam Ki Imtehaa, Dekh Kar Guzri Hu Laashon Ka Yeh Manzar Be Rida, Kya Samjhta Hai Yazeed E Asr Tu Karbobala...

Hum Khuda Ke Deen Ki Hurmat Bachane Aaye Thy, Jante Thy Karbala Mein Ghar Lutane Aaye Thy, Shukr Hai Khaaliq Ka Jissne Surkhuru Humko Kiya, Kya Samjhta Hai Yazeed E Asr Tu Karbobala...
