Safar e Ishq

Jaldi Qadam Badhao, Aye Aashiqan E Maula Hain Muntazir Tumhari, Karbobala Me Zahra

Hasten your steps, O lovers of the Master; Zahra (s.a.) is waiting for you in Karbala.

Sarhad Pe Karbala Ki, Abbas Bhi Khade Hain Thaame Hue Alam Ko, Tum Se Yeh Keh Rahe Hain

At the borders of Karbala, Abbas (a.s.) is also standing; holding the standard, he is saying this to you.

Woh Ek Saltanat E Ishq, Naam Karbobala Azal Se Parcham E Abbas Hain Nishaan Jiska Jaha Pe Naqsh Hain Maula Hussain Ka Sajda Waha Pe Karne Ko Sajda

That is a kingdom of love, named Karbala; the flag of Abbas has been its symbol since eternity; where the prostration of Master Hussain is imprinted, go there to prostrate.

Baghair Izn Yaha Koi Aa Nahi Sakta Ho Khush Naseeb Ke Tum Aa Rahe Ho Karbobala Jo Zaaereen Me Shaamil Tumhara Naam Huwa Karona Shukr Ka Sajda

Without permission, no one can come here; you are fortunate that you are coming to Karbala; since your name has been included among the pilgrims, perform a prostration of gratitude.

Safar Naseeb Nahi Sabko Yeh Khuda Ki Qasam Hussain Rakhte Hain Khud Apne Zaaeron Ka Bharam Agar Magar Nahi Socho Badhao Apne Qadam Zara Bhi Der Na Karna

By God, this journey is not destined for everyone; Hussain himself upholds the honor of his pilgrims; do not think of 'ifs' or 'buts', move your steps forward; do not delay even a little.

Yeh Karbala Ka Safar, Bakhuda Mawaddat Hain Ajeeb Tarz E Mohabbat Hain Yeh Ibadat Hain Har Ek Munkir E Shabbir Se Baghawat Hain Na Rok Payegi Duniya

This journey to Karbala, by God, is devotion; it is a strange style of love, it is worship; it is a rebellion against every denier of Shabbir (Hussain); the world will not be able to stop it.

Yeh Karbala Hi Batayegi Imtehaan Hain Kya Najaf Se Karbobala Ke Safar Ki Shaan Hain Kya Sabhi Hain Ek Se, Boodhe Hain, Aur Jawaan Hain Kya Har Ek Lab Pe Hain Nara

Only Karbala will reveal what the test is; what is the glory of the journey from Najaf to Karbala; everyone is the same, whether old or young; there is a slogan on every lip.

Habib Ne Hain Yeh Zauja Se Apni Farmaya Bulawa Aisa Kisiko Kabhi Nahi Aya Hussain Ne Mujhe Khat Bhejkar Hain Bulwaya Mujhe Hain Farz Nibhana

Habib (ibn Mazahir) said this to his wife; such a call has never come to anyone; Hussain has sent me a letter and called me; I have a duty to fulfill.

Rihayi Shaam Ke Zindaan Se Haram Ko Mili Tadap Ke Reh Gayi Us Waqt Haye Binte Ali Larazte Lehje Me Abid Ne Jab Sada Hain Yeh Di Khudara Utho Sakina

The ladies of the household received release from the prison of Shaam; the daughter of Ali (Zainab) was left in agony at that moment; when Abid (Imam Sajjad) called out in a trembling voice; "For God's sake, wake up, Sakina."

Haa Is Zameen Pe Firdausi Silsile Hoge Bashar Ki Shakl Malaaek Ke Qaaflein Hoge Jo Zaaereen Ki Khidmat Ke Waaste Hoge Naseeb Dekho Tumhara

Yes, on this land there will be heavenly processions; there will be caravans of angels in human form; who will be there for the service of the pilgrims; look at your fortune.

Itni Aasani Se Tum Log Karoge Yeh Safar Par Suno Aale Mohammad Ke Safar Ka Manzar Nahi Pani Ki Sabeelein Thi, Na Saya, Na Shajar Shaah Ke Kunbe Pe Baraste Rahein Har Dam Patthar Uski Behnon Ka Tha Rassi Me Gala Na Tawan Beta Hain Kaanton Pe Chala Paani Beti Ko Mayassar Na Hua Khud Woh Naize Pe Tadapta Hi Raha

You people will make this journey with such ease; but listen to the scene of the journey of the Family of Muhammad; there were no water stations, no shade, no trees; stones kept raining down on the King's family every moment; his sisters had their necks in ropes; the weak son walked on thorns; the daughter could not get water; he himself kept writhing on the spear.

Dekho Par Mesum O Salwar Kareemi Yeh Zara Apne Zawwaron Ko Deta Hain Woh Ab Bhi Yeh Sada

Look at the generosity of Mesum and Salwar (poets/narrators) for a moment; he still gives this call to his pilgrims today.
