Na Des Apna Hai
Irfan Haider · 2005
Bibi Zainab stands in the desert of Karbala, mourning her brother Imam Hussain. She laments that she has no shroud to cover his body in this strange and hostile land.
Karbala Se Chali Ek Bekas Behen Haa Is Aalam-E-Gurbat Mein Watan Yaad Aaya Sab Shaheedo Ko Kehti Huvi Alveda Bhai Ki Laash Pe Pahunchi To Kafan Yaad Aaya Khud Ko Naaqe Se Gira Kar Zainab Kehne Lagi Ro Kar
A helpless sister departed from Karbala, Alas, in this state of exile, she remembered her homeland. Bidding farewell to all the martyrs, When she reached her brother's corpse, she remembered the burial shroud. Throwing herself from the camel, Zainab began to weep and say:
Na Des Apna Hai Na Log Apne Hai Mai Kaise Kafan Doo Mere Mazloom Baradar
Neither is this land ours, nor are these people our own, How can I provide a shroud for my oppressed brother?
Ye Dekh Zara Ay Tashna Dahan Shano Ko Mere Jakde Hai Rasan Aur Uspe Sitam Hai Sar Par Nahi Chadar
Look here, O parched-lipped one, Ropes bind my shoulders, And as an added cruelty, there is no veil upon my head.
Kal Saath Tere Har Gaam Chali Ab Qaidi Bani Aur Shaam Chali Is Dard Ke Maare Roti Hoo Khule Sar
Yesterday I walked every step alongside you, Now I have become a captive, heading toward Shaam (Damascus), Overcome by this pain, I weep with my head unveiled.
Baba Hai Ameer E Kauno Makan Hai Tera Laqab Sardare Jina Zainab To Hui Hai Be-Chadar Be-Ghar
Our father is the Master of the Universe, Your title is the Leader of the Youth of Paradise, Yet Zainab has become unveiled and homeless.
Ay Bhai Teri Ghurbat Ki Qasam Ta Marg Nahi Bhuloongi Ye Gham Pardes Mein Aa Kar Noha Hai Labon Par
O brother, I swear by your exile, Until death, I will not forget this grief, Having come to this foreign land, this lament is upon my lips.
Kya Zulm Sahe Tujhko Hai Khabar Hai Aale Mohamad Khaak Basar Haftum Se Nahi Hai Pani Bhi Meinassar
You know what oppression we have endured, The Family of Muhammad is covered in dust, Since the seventh day, even water has not been available.
Hota Jo Madina Bhai Mere Mil Jaata Kafan Mazloom Tujhe Is Dashte Bala Mein Majboor Hai Khwahar
Had we been in Medina, my brother, You would have received a shroud, O oppressed one, In this desert of calamity, your sister is helpless.
Hai Kushta-E-Tayghe Zulm Bata Jab Koi Mera Yawar Na Raha Maqtool-E-Jafa Hai Abbas Aur Akbar
Tell me, O victim of the sword of tyranny, When no helper remained for me, Abbas and Akbar were also martyred by cruelty.
Kya Kya Na Hui Zainab Pe Jafa Sab Qaime Jale Asbaab Luta Par Sab Se Bada Hai Ye Gham Mere Dil Par
What injustices were not inflicted upon Zainab? All the tents burned, our belongings were looted, But this is the greatest grief upon my heart.
Irfan Aur Mazhar Kehna Sake Jo Binte Ali Ne Bayn Kiye Phat'ta Hai Kaleja Is Baat Ko Sunkar
Irfan and Mazhar could not express, What the Daughter of Ali lamented, The heart tears apart upon hearing these words.
