Na Leja Na Leja Zuljanah

Na Leja Na Leja Zuljanah

Syed Irfan Haider Rizvi · 2000

Bibi Sakina pleads with her father's horse, Zuljanah, not to take Imam Hussain away to the battlefield where he will not return. She worries about who will comfort her once he is gone.

Jo Jata Hain Makhtal Mey, Palatkar Nahi Ata, Sab Chahane Walo Ko Qaza Agaye Raan Mey, Main Sahe Nahi Paunge Yatime Ke Sitam Ko, Ye Aste Wafadar Se Kehti Thi Sakina,

Whoever goes to the battlefield does not return, Death has come to all loved ones in the field of battle, I will not be able to bear the cruelty of being an orphan, This is what Sakina was saying to the loyal horse.

Na Leja Na Leja Zuljanah, Mere Baba Ko Na Leja

Do not take him, do not take him, O Zuljanah, do not take my father away.

Main Sounge Kiske Seene Par-02 Le Jayega Tu Jo Baba Ko

Upon whose chest will I sleep, If you take my father away?

Main Tere Sumo Se Lipti Hoon, Faryad Ye Tujhse Karte Hoon Main Daag-E Yatime Ke Daar Se, Din Raat Tarap Kar Roti Hoon Bich Re Jo Padar Ke Sine Se- (02), Hain Itna Yakeen Mar Jaunge.

I am clinging to your hooves, I am making this plea to you, From the fear of the scar of being an orphan, I weep and writhe day and night, If I am separated from my father's chest, I am certain I will die.

Lazim Hain Wafadare Tujh Par, Har Simte Se Ghere Hain Laskar Be Deen Layeno Ke Baan Me, Aaqa Pe Na Chal Jaye Khanjar Royege Teri Aaqa Zadi- (02), Key Tujh Ko Gawar Hain Ye Din.

Loyalty is incumbent upon you, the army has surrounded from every side, In the arrows of the faithless wretches, may a dagger not strike my master, Your master's daughter will weep, if this day is acceptable to you.

Rokounge Nahi Tera Rasta, Bus Mujh Ko Bata De Tu Itna Hain Tujh Ko Khabar Aaqa Tera, Karta Hain Pyar Mujhe Kitna Main Sounge Kiske Seene Par- (02), Le Jayega Tu Jo Baba Ko.

I will not block your path, just tell me this much, Do you know how much your master loves me? Upon whose chest will I sleep, if you take my father away?

Baba Ke Siwa Ab Koye Nahi, Har Gam Satayenge Layeen Zalim Se Bachaye Kuon Mujhe, Na Apna Watan Na Apni Zamee Bin Baap Ki Bachchi Par Zalim- (02), Ab Aur Qayamat Dhayenge.

There is no one left but my father, the wretches will torment me with every sorrow, Who will save me from the oppressors? I have neither my homeland nor my own land, Upon a fatherless child, the oppressors will now unleash further calamities.

Main Kaise Jeeunge Tu Hi Bata, Jab Paas Nahi Honge Baba Kuch Roz Agar Zinda Bhi Rahi, Yaadon Ke Sahare Main Tanha Ek Zinda Laash Ki Surat Se- (02), Main Jeti Rahunge Ro Ro Kar.

You tell me, how will I live when my father is not near? Even if I remain alive for a few days, I will be alone with only memories, Like a living corpse, I will keep living while weeping.

Sooti Thi Sukon Se Ye Dukhtar, Mazlum Hussain Ke Seene Par Ab Mere Muqaddar Me Hoga, Is Khak-E Bayaba Ka Bistar Kis Tarha Mujhe Neend Ayenge- (02), Yaad Ayega Baba Ka Seena.

This daughter used to sleep in peace upon the chest of the oppressed Hussain, Now in my destiny will be the bed of this desert dust, How will sleep come to me? I will remember my father's chest.

Soon Kar Ye Sakina Se Bola, Wo Aste Shahed-E Karbobala Mat Ro Aye Meri Aaqa Zadi, Main Kaise Ruku Batla De Zara Hain Hukm Imamat Chalne Ka- (02), Aur Ek Taraf Noha Hain Tera.

Hearing this from Sakina, the horse of the Martyr of Karbala spoke, Do not weep, O daughter of my master, tell me how can I stop? There is the command of Imamate to move forward, and on the other side is your lament.

Chalta Hoo To Furkat Teri Hain, Ruk Ta Hoo To Hukm Zaruri Hain Ruk Jaoun Teri Khatir Lekin, Chalna Bhi Meri Majburi Hain Chalte Hain Kaleje Par Khanjar- (02), Sun Sun Ke Tere Gham Ke Nale

If I move, it is your separation, if I stop, the command is necessary, I would stop for your sake, but moving is also my compulsion, Daggers strike my heart, hearing your cries of grief.

Noha Ye Sakina Ka Sunkar, Youn Goya Hua Roke Sarwar Thi Usme Yatime Bhi Teri, Bachpan Me Jo Utra Tha Mehjar Haq Ki Marze Par Hoon Razi- (02), Bekar Hain Ye Kehna Tera.

Hearing this lament of Sakina, the Master spoke while weeping, In it was also your orphanhood, which descended in childhood in the cradle, I am content with the will of Truth, your pleading is in vain.

Khamosh Hui Shah-E Ki Dukhtar, Ye Baat Shah-E Din Ke Sunkar Irfan Bayan Ab Kaise Kare, Ruh Daad Masayeb Ki Mazhar Uthti Thi Sakina Ke Dil Se- (02), Phir Bhi Ye Sadaye Ro Ro Kar.

The King's daughter fell silent, hearing these words of the King of Faith, How can Irfan describe it now? The manifestation of the story of tragedies, Still, these cries used to rise from Sakina's heart, weeping and wailing.
