Shahid Baltistani

Imam Hussain prays in the night for a daughter to bring him peace. Allah grants his wish, but that peace is lost in the tragedy of Karbala.

Shab Ki Tareeki Mein Namaze Shab Ke Baad

In the darkness of the night, after the night prayer,

Mera Mazloom Imam Dua Maang Raha Hai Mere Maula Tujhe Waasta Is Ghareeb Ke Ashkon Ka Sukoone Dil Ke Liye Kar Mujhe Sakina Ata

My oppressed Imam is making a supplication. My Lord, I beseech You by the tears of this stranger, Grant me Sakina for the peace of my heart.

Allah Allah Allah Allah Namaze Shab Mein Koi Baap Maangta Hai Dua Allah Allah Allah Allah Sukoone Dil Ke Liye Kar Mujhe Sakina Ata

Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah. In the night prayer, a father is making a supplication. Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah. Grant me Sakina for the peace of my heart.

Diya Hai Sabr To Mujhko Qaraar Bhi Dede Mehek Batool Ki Hyder Ka Pyar Bhi Dede Usay Mai Dekhun To Yaad Aaye Mujhko Maa Zahra

If You have given me patience, then grant me solace too. Give me the fragrance of Batool and the love of Hyder. When I look at her, may I be reminded of Mother Zahra.

Wo Mere Seene Pe Soye To Dhadkane Khush Ho Chale Wo Ungli Pakad Kar To Aahatein Khush Ho Wo Maange Pani To Haathon Ko Mai Karun Kooza

If she sleeps on my chest, may my heartbeats be joyful. If she walks holding my finger, may my footsteps be joyful. If she asks for water, may I make my hands into a cup for her.

Suna Hai Beti Janaze Ki Hoti Hai Raunaq Mujhe Bhi Chahiye Quran E Zindagi Ka Waraq Milay Janaze Ki Raunaq Bara E Karbobala

I have heard that a daughter is the splendor of a funeral. I too desire a page from the Quran of life. May I receive the splendor of a funeral for the sake of Karbala.

Ibadaton Ka Sila Tujhse Maangta Hoo Mai Yehi To Ek Dua Tujhse Maangta Hoo Mai Charaghe Qaima Bhujaun To Wo Ho Misle Diya

I am asking You for the reward of my worship. This is the only prayer I ask of You. When I extinguish the lamp of the tent, may she be like a light.

Sataye Yaad Usay Jab Hamare Seene Ki To Qaid Khane Mein Majlis Bapa Kare Meri Phupi Ke Saath Musalle Pe Wo Kare Girya

When the memory of my chest troubles her, May she hold a gathering for me in the prison. May she weep on the prayer mat alongside her aunt.

Khuda Ne Sunli Dua E Hussain Ibne Ali Mili Wo Beti Jo Bilkul Shabihe Zahra Thi Sukoon Mil Gaya Sheh Ko Sakina Naam Rakha

God heard the prayer of Hussain ibn Ali. He received a daughter who was exactly the image of Zahra. The King found peace and named her Sakina.

Magar Sukoon Ye Karbobala Mein Jaata Raha Hui Yateem Sakina Bandha Rasan Mein Gala Hussain Rote Thay Kehke Barsare Naiza

But this peace vanished in Karbala. Sakina became an orphan, a rope was tied around her neck. Hussain wept, saying from atop the spear.

Sitam Ye Shaam Ke Darbar Mein Hua Kaisa Jise Hussain Ne Apne Khuda Se Maanga Tha Usay Kaneezi Mein Apni Kisi Ne Maang Liya

What kind of cruelty happened in the court of Sham? She whom Hussain had asked for from his God, Someone asked for her as his slave-girl.

Pasay Hussain Sakina Ne Wo Sitam Dekhe Tadap Ke Kehti Thi Bacchi Padar Ke Laashe Se Chupalo Khoon Bhare Daaman Mein Mujhko Ay Baba

After Hussain, Sakina saw those cruelties. The child would say, writhing in pain, to her father's corpse: "Hide me in your blood-stained cloak, O Father."

Sar E Hussain Se Aayi Sada Sar E Maidan Namaz E Shab Ki Dua Ka Asar Sakina Jaan Karenga Teri Hifazat Wo Naam Hai Jiska

A voice came from the head of Hussain on the battlefield: "The effect of the night prayer's supplication is Sakina, my life. He will protect you, whose name is..."

Rehaan Azmi Kehti Thi Karbala Ki Faza Hai Baap Beti Ka Ye Imtehan Kaisa Khuda Har Ek Zulm Pe Dono Ke Lab Pe Hai Ye Sada

Rehaan Azmi, the atmosphere of Karbala was saying: "What kind of test is this for a father and daughter, O God? On every cruelty, this is the cry on the lips of both."
