Irfan Haider

Bibi Sakina calls out to her father, Imam Hussain, while walking through the difficult streets of Shaam. She remembers sleeping peacefully on his chest and laments her current suffering.

Naiza Sawar Baba

O Father, rider of the spear

Ek Bachi Phool Si Jis Ka Sakina Naam Tha, Ro Rahi Thi Shaam Ki Rahon Mein Wokarke Buka Karte The Tum Kitna Pyar Baba.

A flower-like child named Sakina, was weeping on the paths of Shaam, crying out, 'How much you used to love me, Father.'

Ay Mere Naiza Sawar Baba

O my Father, rider of the spear

Chal Nahi Sakti Sakina Raaste Dushwar Hai. Ablen Hein Pawon Mai Or Ab Lo Mai Khar Hai. Ankh Hai Nam Dil Figaar Baba.

Sakina cannot walk, the paths are difficult. There are blisters on my feet, and now there are thorns too. My eyes are tearful, my heart is wounded, Father.

Nile Hein Rukhsar Mere Aur Gale Mai Hai Rasan Khushnagi Ba Warsi Lachari Ki Or Be Watan Ek Hai Dil Gham Hazar Baba.

My cheeks are bruised, and there is a rope around my neck. The thirst, the helplessness, and being homeless; I have one heart, but a thousand sorrows, Father.

Aap Ke Sine Pe Baba Chein Se Soti Thi Mai Aap Tarapte Jo Kisi Bat Pe Roti Thi Mai Roti Hu Zaro Katar Baba.

I used to sleep peacefully on your chest, Father. If you were ever restless, I would cry; now I weep bitterly, Father.

Be Rida Sab Bibi Ya Hai Shaam Ka Bazar Hai Zabt Gayara Nahi Hai Sabr Bhi Dushwar Hai. Sabr Ke Parwardigar Baba.

All the ladies are unveiled, and this is the bazaar of Shaam. I have no patience left, and endurance has become difficult. O Lord of patience, Father.

Milna Sakungi Kabhi Mai Aap Se Ay Baba Jaan Aap Ka Roza Banenga Karbala Ke Darmiyan. Shaam Me Mera Mazar Baba.

I will never be able to meet you again, O dear Father. Your shrine will be built in the midst of Karbala, and my grave will be in Shaam, Father.

Yaad Isi Baat Pe Ata Hai Ghar Aksar Muje. Aaj Kanizi Mai Bula Ta Hai Sitamgar Muje. Koi Nahi Gham Guzar Baba.

This is what makes me remember home so often. Today, the oppressor calls me into slavery. There is no one to share my grief, Father.

Khatithi Jab Bhi Tamache Shimre Sitamgar Se Aap Ke Chehre Ke Samt Ba Kasi Aur Yaad Se. Dekhti Thi Bar Bar Baba.

Whenever I received slaps from the oppressive Shimr, in my helplessness and memory, I would look repeatedly towards your face, Father.

Kon Hai Pursa Ne Haal Pyas Buja Yenga Kon Baliya Meri Sitamgaro Se Dilayenga Kon So Gaye Sab Jaanisar Baba

Who is left to ask about my state, who will quench my thirst? Who will save me from the oppressors? All the devoted ones have fallen asleep, Father.

Aap Ke Sina Pe Baba Chain Se Soti Thi Mai Aap Tarapte Jo Kisi Bat Pe Roti Thi Mai Roti Hu Zaro Katar Baba.

I used to sleep peacefully on your chest, Father. If you were ever restless, I would cry; now I weep bitterly, Father.

Be Rida Sab Bibi Ya Hai Shaam Ka Bazar Hai Zabt Gayara Nahi Hai Sabr Bhi Dushwar Hai. Sabr Ke Parwardigar Baba.

All the ladies are unveiled, and this is the bazaar of Shaam. I have no patience left, and endurance has become difficult. O Lord of patience, Father.

Mil Na Sakungi Kabhi Mai Aap Se Ay Baba Jaan Aap Ka Roza Banenga Karbala Ke Darmiyan. Shaam Me Mera Mazar Baba

I will never be able to meet you again, O dear Father. Your shrine will be built in the midst of Karbala, and my grave will be in Shaam, Father.
