Manazara

Ek Din Majlis Se Apne Ghar Ki Janib Mai Chala Raaste Me Saamna Waaez Se Mera Hogaya Hasbe Aadat Tanziya Lehje Me Wo Kehne Laga Shirk Hai Ghaire Khuda Par Ashk Barsana Suno Mai Ye Bola Baat Ab Meri Bhi Maulana Suno

One day, as I was walking home from a Majlis, I encountered a preacher on the way. As was his habit, he spoke in a mocking tone, 'Listen, shedding tears for anyone other than God is Shirk (polytheism).' I replied, 'Now, Maulana, listen to my side of the story as well.'

Aadam o Hawwa Ka Kya Bete Pe Rona Shirk Tha Hazrat e Yaqoob Ne Yusuf Pe Kyu Girya Kiya Tu Agar Hai Ummati Sarkaar Ka To Ye Bata Hazrate Hamza Pe Kyu Roye Muhammad Mustafa Yato Ab Sarkaar Se Tu Apna Rishta Tod De Ya Azadaro Pe Waaez Tanz Karna Chhod De

Was the weeping of Adam and Eve for their son Shirk? Why did Prophet Yaqoob (Jacob) weep for Yusuf (Joseph)? If you are a follower of the Prophet, then tell me, Why did Muhammad Mustafa weep for Hazrat Hamza? Either break your ties with the Prophet now, or stop mocking the mourners, O preacher.

Kaat Kar Fir Baat Meri Ye Kiya Usne Sawaal Kyu Madad Haider Se Lete Ho Bajae Zuljalaal Mai Ye Bola Apni Bosida Kitabe To Khangaal Un Me Mil Jaegi Tumko Jung e Khaiber Ki Misaal Tujhpe Ho Jaega Saabit Behes Ye Bekaar Hai Nara e Haider Lagana Sunnat e Sarkaar Hai

Interrupting me, he then asked, 'Why do you seek help from Haider (Ali) instead of the Lord of Majesty?' I said, 'Search through your own dusty books, in them, you will find the example of the Battle of Khaibar. It will be proven to you that this argument is futile; raising the slogan of Haider is the Sunnah of the Prophet.'

Baato Baato Me Jahalat Uski Jab Khulne Lagi Badhte Badhte Baat Zikr e Karbala Tak Aagai Wo Ye Bola Karbala To Jang Shehzado Ki Thi Mai Ye Bola Karbala Hai Zindagi Islaam Ki Tere Shehzade Se Badhkar Yu Mera Shabbir Hai Wo Saraapa Rijs Hai Ye Warise Tatheer Hai

As his ignorance began to be exposed through our conversation, the discussion eventually reached the mention of Karbala. He said, 'Karbala was just a war between princes.' I replied, 'Karbala is the life of Islam. My Shabbir (Hussain) is far greater than your princes; he is the heir of Purity (Tatheer), while the other is the embodiment of filth.'

Mu Banakar Tilmila Kar Fir Chali Uski Zuba Tu Hai Maulai To Haider Ke Fazael Kar Bayaan Mai Ye Bola Is Qadar Bardasht Hai Tujhme Kahan Sochle Dil Par Tere Girne Lage Gi Bijliyan Tere Sehat Ke Liye Kaafi Hai Ye Ghaibi Pukaar Lafata Illa Ali La Saif Illa Zulfiqar

Making a face and trembling with rage, his tongue lashed out again, 'If you are a Maulai (follower of Ali), then describe the virtues of Haider.' I said, 'Where do you have the capacity to bear that? Think, or else lightning will begin to strike your heart. For your health, this unseen call is enough: There is no hero like Ali, there is no sword like Zulfiqar.'

Baat Imaan e Abu Talib Ki Usne Chhed Di Kufr Par Uske Mutabiq Guzri Unki Zindagi Mai Ye Bola Fir To Ye Tauheen Hai Allah Ki Parwarish Kafir Ke Ghar Sarkaar Ki Hoti Rahi Aqd e Paighambar Padha Jisne Wo Insaan Kaun Hai Gar Abu Talib Hai Kafir, Fir Musalmaa Kaun Hai

He then brought up the subject of Abu Talib's faith, claiming that according to him, Abu Talib lived a life of disbelief. I said, 'Then this is an insult to Allah, that the Prophet was raised in the house of a disbeliever. Who is the person who performed the Prophet's marriage contract? If Abu Talib is a disbeliever, then who is a Muslim?'

Fir Mujhe Rota Hua Maidan e Mehshar Me Mila Muskura Kar Maine Pucha Khair To Hai Kya Hua Aah Bhar Kar Wo Ye Bola Haay Mai Maara Gaya Ab Yaqee Aaya Ghum e Sarwar Me Rona Theek Tha Maanta Hu Mai Takallum Tera Kehna Theek Tha

Later, I met him weeping in the Field of Resurrection (Mehshar). Smiling, I asked, 'Is everything alright? What happened?' Sighing, he said, 'Alas, I am ruined. Now I am convinced that weeping for the grief of the Master (Hussain) was right. I admit, Takallum, that what you said was right.'
