Mein Rahun Ya Na Rahun

Nadeem Sarwar

Imam Hussain stands alone on the battlefield of Karbala. He declares that even if he is gone, his message and the religion of Islam will live forever.

Ya Hussain

O Hussain

Mabud Taqabbal Minna

O Lord, accept this from us

Mein Rahun Ya Na Rahun Mera Islam Rahega Mera Pegham Rahega Mein Rahun Ya Na Rahun

Whether I remain or not, My Islam shall remain, My message shall remain, Whether I remain or not.

Ay Foje Ashqiya Mera Islam Rahega Quran Rahega Mera Peghaam Rahega

O army of the wicked, my Islam shall remain, The Quran shall remain, my message shall remain.

Jab Zohr Tak Hussain Bahattar Ko Rochuke Akbar Ko Rochuke Ali Asghar Ko Rochuke Ik Dopahar Mein Bawafa Lashkar Ko Rochuke Phir Foje Bad Nasab Se Mukhatib Huwe Imam Hujjat Tamam Karta Hun Sunlo Mera Payaam

By the time of Dhuhr, Hussain had bid farewell to the seventy-two, Farewell to Akbar, farewell to Ali Asghar, In a single afternoon, he had bid farewell to his loyal army. Then the Imam addressed the ill-fated army: 'I am completing the proof, listen to my message.'

Farmaate The Hussain Ke Mein Be Kasoor Hun Roshan He Tumpe Chashme Payambar Ka Noor Hun Faqon Se Mein Nidhal Hun Zakhmon Se Chhur Hun Zakhmon Pe Zakhm Pyaas Ki Shiddat Mein Khawunga Lekin Mein Nana Jaan Se Wada Nibhaunga

Hussain declared, 'I am innocent, It is clear to you that I am the light of the Prophet's eyes. I am exhausted by hunger, I am riddled with wounds. I will endure wound upon wound and the intensity of thirst, But I will fulfill the promise I made to my Grandfather.'

Darya Ko Tum Ne Chheen Liya Maine Kuchh Kaha Pani Dikha Dikha Ke Piiya Meine Kuchh Kaha Daagh Akbare Jawaan Ka Diya Meine Kuchh Kaha Haq Par Hun Mere Haq Mein Sina Bolrahi He Sun Lo Who Azan Meri Zubaa(n) Bol Rahi He

You snatched the river away, did I say anything? You drank water while showing it to me, did I say anything? You gave me the grief of young Akbar, did I say anything? I am on the side of Truth, the spear speaks in my favor, Listen, that Azaan is being spoken by my tongue.

Maqsad He Lailah Ki Baqa Aur Kuchh Nahin Wada Ho Zere Tegh Wafa Aur Kuchh Nahin Iske Siwa Labon Pe Dua Aur Kuchh Nahin Razi Ho Mujhse Mera Khuda Chahta Hun Mein Mein Hun Hussain Sab Ka Bhala Chahta Hun Mein

The purpose is the survival of 'La ilaha' (There is no God but Allah), nothing else, The promise is loyalty under the blade, nothing else, Other than this, there is no prayer on my lips. I only wish for my God to be pleased with me, I am Hussain, I wish for the well-being of all.

Maqsad Nahin He Jang Hamara Khuda Gawah Khat Bhejke He Tumne Bulaya Khuda Gawah Bejurm Tumne Mujhko Sataya Khuda Gawah Khanjar Tale Baland Mein Takbir Karunga Apne Lahu Se Khak Pe Tehreer Karunga

War is not our purpose, God is my witness, You called us by sending letters, God is my witness, You persecuted me without a crime, God is my witness. Beneath the dagger, I will raise the Takbir (Allahu Akbar), With my blood, I will write upon the earth.

Mein Aur Karun Yazeed Ki Bayat Nahin Nahin Badlun Ajal Ke Dar Se Shariyat Nahin Nahin Jeene Ke Badle Chorun Shahadat Nahin Nahin Tum Kon Ho Naqaab Rukhon Se Hataounga Mein Kon Hun Ye Noke Sina Par Bataaounga

That I should pledge allegiance to Yazid? Never, never. That I should change the Sharia out of fear of death? Never, never. That I should abandon martyrdom in exchange for life? Never, never. Who are you? I will remove the masks from your faces, Who I am, I will show upon the tip of the spear.

Aakar Dare Khayam Pe Zainab Ko Di Sada Aa Ay Mere Ghareeb Behen Aakhri Dua Le Aakhri Salam Hussaine Ghareeb Ka Maqsad He Mera Ka Ye Sabaq Tujhko Yaad He Meri Shareeke Kaar Mujhe Etemaad He

Coming to the door of the tents, he called out to Zainab, 'Come, O my poor sister, for a final prayer, Accept the final salaam of Hussain the stranger. Do you remember this lesson of my purpose? I have faith in you, my partner in this mission.'

Zainab Tarap Ke Boli Ke Bhaya Samajhgayi Bhaiya Tere Ishaare Ko Behna Samajh Gayi Mein Kya Teri Ghareeb Sakina Samajh Gayi Khutbon Se Mein Hilaungi Qasre Yazeed Ko Marne Na Dungi Ab Mein Kisi Bhi Shaheed Ko

Zainab cried out, 'Brother, I have understood, Your sister has understood your signal, brother. I have understood, and so has your poor Sakina. With my sermons, I will shake the palace of Yazid, I will not let any martyr die (be forgotten) now.'

Hal Min Nasirin Yansurna

Is there any helper to help us?

Uthtaa Ghobar Zulm Karakti He Bijliyan Zee(n) Se Gire Hussain Uthi Surkh Aandhiyan Nagaah Sar Hussain Ka Aaya Sare Sina Quran Suna Ke Sayyade Mazloom Ne Kaha Lo Nanajaan Wada Wafa Meine Kardiya

The dust of oppression rises, lightning strikes, Hussain fell from his saddle, red storms arose, Suddenly, the head of Hussain appeared upon the spear. Reciting the Quran, the oppressed Master said, 'Behold, Grandfather, I have fulfilled the promise.'

Mabud Taqabbal Minna

O Lord, accept this from us

Ay Sarwaro Rehan Ye Lamha Ajeeb He Neze Pe Lab Kusha Ye Hussaine Ghareeb He Zainab Tumhari Shame Gharibaan Kareeb He Sab Kuchh Tere Hawaale He Ab Tum Sambhalna Apna Khayaal Rakhna Sakina Ko Paalna

O Sarwar and Rehan, this moment is strange, Hussain the stranger is speaking upon the spear. Zainab, your evening of loneliness (Shaam-e-Ghariban) is near, Everything is in your care now, you must handle it, Take care of yourself, and raise Sakina.
