Mehendi Laga Ke Qasim

Syed Raza Abbas Zaidi

Young Qasim prepares for his wedding in Karbala, but instead of a celebration, he rides out to the battlefield to sacrifice his life.

NohaShahadat Qasim

Mehendi Laga Ke Qasim Maqtal Ko Ja Rahe Hai

Adorned with henna, Qasim is heading towards the battlefield.

Armaan Maa Phupi Ke Aansoo Baha Rahe Hai Dholi Gayi Thi Mehendi Behno Ke Aansuon Se Pani Na Tha Mayassar Haye Haye Kayi Dino Se Sookhe Hue Labon Ke Chehre Bata Rahe Hai

The mother's desires and the aunt's tears are flowing. The henna had been washed away by the sisters' tears. Water was not available, alas, for many days. The faces with parched lips tell the story.

Abbas Ne Sajaya Akbar Se Sehra Baandha Shadi Ke Ghar May Ya Rab Ye Kaisa Waqt Aaya Baraat Walay Saare Sar Ko Kata Rahe Hai

Abbas adorned him, and Akbar tied the wedding garland. O Lord, what a time has come upon this house of celebration. The entire wedding procession is offering their heads.

Poshak Hai Uroosi Naushah Ke Badan Par Lekin Ye Surkh Dhabbe Kal Thay Kisi Kafan Par Manzar Wo Karbala May Dohraye Ja Rahe Hai

The bridegroom's attire is on the body of the groom, But these red stains were once upon a shroud. That scene is being repeated in Karbala.

Roohe Hasan Ne Aakar Kaisa Ye Haal Dekha Tukdo May Haye Kaise Khud Apna Laal Dekha Apne Jigar Ke Tukde Phir Yaad Aa Rahe Hai

How the spirit of Hasan came and witnessed this state. Alas, how he saw his own beloved son in pieces. The pieces of his own heart are being remembered again.

Newa Jo Hogaye Hai Ibne Hasan Ki Dulhan Ashkon Se Shahe Wala Apna Bhigo Ke Daman Dulhan Ke Sar Pe Misle Chadar Udha Rahe Hai

When the bride of Ibn-e-Hasan bowed her head, The King of the Faithful, soaking his hem with tears, Is draping a veil over the bride's head like a shroud.

Sajjad Ghash Se Uthkar Ek Ek Se Poochte Thay Shaadi Ke Ghar May Sab Ke Uthre Hue Hai Chehre Kya Cheez Ran Se Baba Daaman May La Rahe Hai

Rising from his faint, Sajjad asked everyone one by one, 'In this house of celebration, why are everyone's faces so pale? What is it that Father is bringing back from the battlefield in his hem?'

Khushboo Hena Ki Ab Tak Maujood Hai Faza May Dulhan To Be-Khabar Hai Masroof Hai Dua Hai Damaad Ka Janaza Shabbir La Rahe Hai

The scent of henna is still present in the air. The bride is unaware, busy in prayer. Shabbir is bringing the funeral of his son-in-law.

Rehan Aur Raza Ye Gham Shahe Nainawa Ka Ek Aisa Saneha Hai Maidan E Karbala Ka Har Saal Ahle Matam Jisko Mana Rahe Hai

Rehan and Raza, this grief of the King of Nainawa, Is such a tragedy of the plains of Karbala, That the mourners commemorate it every year.
