Mere Baba Ke Azadar

Meri Turbat Meri Gurbat Ka Pataa Deti Hai Abhi Zinda'n Se Sakina Ye Sadaa Deti Hai

My grave bears witness to my loneliness and exile, Even now, from the prison, Sakina calls out this cry.

Aaj Tak Baba Ke Seeney Ko Tarasti Hoon My Yaad Karti Hoon Unhey Aur Tadaptii Hoon My Raat Hotii Hai To Aahat Se Bhi Dartii Hoon My Aaj Tak Shimr Ke Durro Se Laraztii Hoon My Tum Jo Aajaatey Hai Pal Bhar Ko Ghar Lagtaa Hai Warna Zindaa Se Mujhey Aaj Bhi Darr Lagtaa Hai

To this day, I yearn for my father's chest, I remember him and I writhe in agony. When night falls, I tremble even at the slightest sound, To this day, I shudder at the memory of Shimr's lashes. When you come, for a moment it feels like home, Otherwise, I am still afraid of this prison even today.

Meri Gardan Merey Kaano Se Lahuu Jaari Hai Saans Leney Mey Abhi Tak Mujhey Dushwaari Hai Mustaliq Shaam E Gareeba Se Ye Beydaari Hai Shimr Ka Qauf Lahad Mey Bhi Bohat Taari Hai Tum Jo Aajaatey Ho Tab Jaan Mey Jaa'n Aati Hai Aisa Lagtaa Hai Lahad Par Meri Maa Aati Hai

Blood still flows from my neck and my ears, I still find it difficult to breathe. Since the evening of the strangers (Sham-e-Ghareeban), this sleeplessness has persisted, The fear of Shimr hangs heavy even in the grave. When you come, life returns to my soul, It feels as if my mother has come to my grave.

Aabley Paav Ke Chalney Nahi Detey They Mujhey Qaar Raaho Ke Sambhalney Nahi Detey They Mujhey Zaqm Pehlu Ke Badalney Nahi Detey They Mujhey Dard Halqey Se Nikalney Nahi Detey They Mujhey Garm Reytii Pey Bhi Soney Ki Ijaazat Na Milii Baap Ki Yaad Mey Roney Ki Ijaazat Na Milii

The blisters on my feet would not let me walk, The thorns of the path would not let me steady myself. The wounds on my side would not let me turn, The pain would not let a cry escape my throat. I was not even allowed to sleep on the hot sand, I was not allowed to weep in memory of my father.

Jispey Sotii Thi Wo Seena Huwa Aisa Chalni Jaisey Zindaan Mey Hai Mera Kaleja Chalni Qalb E Akbar Ko Karey Jis Tarah Naiza Chalni Jaisey Mashkeeza Labb E Nehr Huwa Tha Chalni Chalni Chalni Mera Dil Mera Jigar Hai Ab Tak Jaari Marqad Mey Bhi Zaqmo Ka Safar Hai Ab Tak

The chest I used to sleep upon was torn to shreds, Just as my heart is torn in this prison. Like the spear that pierced the heart of Akbar, Like the water-skin that was riddled at the riverbank. Torn, torn, my heart and my soul remain torn to this day, Even in the grave, the journey of my wounds continues to this day.

The chest I used to sleep upon was torn to shreds, Just as my heart is torn in this prison. Like the spear that pierced the heart of Akbar, Like the water-skin that was riddled at the riverbank. Torn, torn, my heart and my soul remain torn to this day, Even in the grave, the journey of my wounds continues to this day.

Ek Sitamgaar Ney Maanga Tha Kaneezi Mey Mujhey Mujhpey Phekey Gaye Sadqey Ke Hazaaro Qurmey Sang Barsaatey Rahey Mujhpey Layee'n Kotho Se Khaaye Ghum Ashq Piye Aur Kahi Tootey Faaqey My Ney Dukh Jheley Hai Darbaar Ke Baazaaro Ke Phir Bhi Thandey Na Kalejey Huwey Kuffaaro Ke

A tyrant had demanded me as a slave, Thousands of alms were thrown at me (in mockery). The accursed ones kept raining stones upon me from the rooftops, I swallowed my grief, drank my tears, and endured broken fasts. I suffered the agonies of the markets and the courts, Yet the hearts of the infidels were not cooled (satisfied).

Dukh Merey Shaam E Gareeba Se Chaley Shaam Talak Durrey Khaaye Hai Jo Paani Ka Liya Naam Talak Maut Hamwaar Thi Aagaaz Se Anjaam Talak Sirf Gundey Hi Nahi Lutgaya Aaraam Talak Pursa Deney Nahi Sab Log Sataaney Aaye Qaid Qaaney Mey Layee'n Mujhko Rulaaney Aaye

My sorrows began from the evening of the strangers and lasted until Sham (Damascus), I received lashes whenever I even mentioned the name of water. Death was my companion from the beginning to the end, Not just my jewelry, but even my peace was plundered. They did not come to offer condolences, they came to torment me, The accursed ones came to the prison to make me weep.

Abr Mey Bhi Meri Gardan Ka Hai Rassi Ka Nishaa'n Qaid E Tanhaayi Hai My Hoon Ye Andhera Zindaa'n Sab Rihaa Hogaye Hai Qaid Meri Aah O Fugaa Sunti Hoon Hai Yehi Nazdeek Phupii Ka Bhi Makaa'n Ye Sitam Wo Hai Ke Gunjaayish Faryaad Nahi Me Wo Qaidi Hoon Meri Qabr Bhi Aazaad Nahi

Even in the grave, the mark of the rope remains on my neck, I am in solitary confinement, I am in this dark prison. Everyone has been released, my only companions are my sighs and cries, I hear that my aunt's dwelling is also nearby. This is such a tyranny that there is no room left for lamentation, I am such a prisoner that even my grave is not free.

Shaam Jaana Ho Mayassar Tumhey Rehan O Raza Marqad E Baali Sakina Se Ye Aati Hai Sadaa Karbala Jaao To Leyjaana Ye Paigaam Mera Yaad Karti Hai Bohat Tumko Sakina Baba Ye Bhi Kehna Ke Har Ek Zaqm Haraa Hai Ab Tak Reesma Khulgayi Majrooh Galaa Hai Ab Tak

If you are blessed with the opportunity to go to Sham, O Rehan and Raza, This cry comes from the grave of the young Sakina: If you go to Karbala, take this message of mine, 'Sakina remembers you very much, O Father.' Also tell him that every wound is still fresh, The rope has been removed, but the throat remains wounded to this day.
