Reh Gaye Dasht Main Tanha
Syed Raza Abbas Zaidi · 2023
The poem remembers the family of the Prophet left alone on the hot sands of Karbala. It recalls the thirst and the loss they faced under the burning sun.
So Rahy Hain Sab Mere Waali O Dilbar Rait Par Bano Bethi He Rahain Ge Zindage Bhar Rait Par
All my masters and beloveds are sleeping on the sand, Bano sits here, and will remain here for the rest of her life on the sand.
Reh Gaye Dasht Main Tanha To Watan Yaad Aya Pani Paya To Har Ek Tashna Dahan Yaad Aya Leky Har Chez Madiny Se Chali The Zainab Bhai Ke Lash Pe Pohnchi To Kafan Yaad Aya
Left alone in the wilderness, the homeland came to mind, Upon finding water, every parched mouth was remembered. Zainab had set out from Medina with everything prepared, But reaching her brother's corpse, she remembered the shroud.
