Hussain Maula Hussain

Hussain, my Master, Hussain.

Sina Pe Bol Raha Hai Hussain Ibne Ali Lahoo Mein Apne Naha Kar Hazaar Sadme Utha Kar Yazeediyat Ko Mita Kar Khuda Ke Deen Ka Parcham Baland Maine Kiya Kisi Yazeed Mein Taaqat Kahan Jhukaye Mujhe Safar Ba Noke Sina Khud Pasand Maine Kiya Sune Ye Saara Zamana Hussain Ki Awaaz Qubool Is Liye Naize Ki Nauk Ki Maine Mera Kata Hua Sar Dushmano Se Past Na Ho Mai Sar Uthaye Huwe Dushmano Se Kehta Hoo Hussain Hota Wohi Hai Jise Shikast Na Ho Mere Azadaron Ay Mere Ghamkharon Tumhare Azm Ko Mere Salaam

From atop the spear, Hussain ibn Ali speaks: Bathed in my own blood, Enduring a thousand sorrows, Erasing the path of Yazid, I raised the banner of God's religion high. Where is the power in any Yazid to make me bow? I chose this journey upon the spear-point myself. Let the whole world hear the voice of Hussain: I accepted the spear-point for this reason, So my severed head would not be lowered before the enemy. With my head held high, I say to the enemies: Hussain is he who knows no defeat. My mourners, oh my sympathizers, I salute your resolve.

Rahe Salamat Ta Qayamat Rahe Salamat Ishq E Hussaini Range Wafa Dikhlaata Hai Warna Kaun Kisi Ki Khaatir Apna Khoon Bahata Hai

May it remain safe until the Day of Judgment, May the love of Hussain remain safe. It displays the color of loyalty, Otherwise, who for the sake of another, Would shed their own blood?

Ye Kaale Kapde Jo Zeb E Tan Hai Ishq E Hussaini Ki Hai Daleel Jhoole Amaari Taaziyadari Seena Zani Pani Ki Sabeel Ahle Aza Ko Ye Tehzeebe Ishq E Hussain Sikhata Hai

These black clothes that adorn our bodies, Are the proof of the love of Hussain. The cradles, the processions, the mourning rituals, The chest-beating, the water stations (Sabeel), These etiquettes to the mourners, The love of Hussain teaches.

Ye Chote Bache Aur Shabbe Daari Yun To Bada Mushkil Hai Safar Socho Agar Tum Ahle Zamana Ishq E Hussaini Ka Hai Asar Ishq E Hussain Hi In Bachon Ko Farshe Aza Tak Laata Hai

These small children and the night-long vigils, Though the journey is very difficult, Think, oh people of the era, It is the effect of the love of Hussain. It is the love of Hussain that brings these children, To the mourning carpet (Farshe Aza).

Dekho Zara Tum Kaabe Mein Jaa Kar Sirf Musalman Honge Wahan Farshe Aza Wo Wahid Jagah Hai Apne Paraye Sab Hai Jahan Aata Wohi Hai Farshe Aza Par Jisko Hussain Bulaata Hai

Just look by going to the Kaaba, Only Muslims will be there. The mourning carpet is that unique place, Where friends and strangers are all present. Only he comes to the mourning carpet, Whom Hussain calls.

Wo Jo Binaye Farhse Aza Hai Hum Hai Usi Bibi Ki Dua Ishq E Hussaini Tha Uske Dil Mein Aur Hamein Virse Mein Mila Jisko Mila Virse Mein Ye Matam Ahle Aza Kehlaata Hai

She who is the foundation of the mourning carpet, We are the prayer of that very Lady (Zainab). The love of Hussain was in her heart, And we received it as an inheritance. He who receives this mourning as an inheritance, Is called a mourner (Ahl-e-Aza).

Ishq E Hussaini Dil Mein Basa Kar Zinda Rakhi Ghazi Ne Wafa Jisne Wafa Ko Zinda Rakha Hai Bali Sakina Ka Hai Chacha Usko Dua Deti Hai Sakina Jo Bhi Alam Ko Utha'ta Hai

By harboring the love of Hussain in his heart, Ghazi (Abbas) kept loyalty alive. He who has kept loyalty alive, Is the uncle of young Sakina. Sakina prays for him, Whoever raises the flag (Alam).

Ishq E Hussaini Se Hai Namazein Ishq E Hussaini Farshe Aza Ishq E Hussaini Sholon Pe Chalna Seena Zani Zanjeer O Khama Ishq E Hussaini Ti Taaqat Se Matami Khoon Mein Nahata Hai

From the love of Hussain come the prayers, The love of Hussain is the mourning carpet. The love of Hussain is walking on flames, Chest-beating, chains, and blades. With the power of the love of Hussain, The mourner bathes in blood.

Suno Mazhar O Irfan Ay Azadaran E Man Yehi Wo Shohdaye Karbala Hai Jinhone Hal Min Ki Sada Par Laabbaik Kaha Aur Mere Ishq Mein Apni Jaano Ka Nazrana Pesh Kiya

Listen, Mazhar and Irfan, oh my mourners, These are those martyrs of Karbala, Who said 'Labbayk' (I am here) to the call of 'Hal Min' (Is there any helper?), And in my love, offered the sacrifice of their lives.
