Shaam e Ghariban

Khaimo Ki Raakh Udti Hai Muztar Hai Bibiyan Sholo Ke Darmiya Hai Ghira Ek Naatawan Milti Nahi Hai Ehle Haram Ko Kahi Amaan Zainab Ke Lab Pe Bus Hai Sada Haay Bhaijan Kese Karu Mai Shaam E Ghariban Ke Gham Bayaan

The ashes of the tents are flying, the ladies are in distress, A helpless one is surrounded by the flames. The family of the Prophet finds no refuge anywhere, On Zainab's lips, there is only the cry, 'Alas, my brother!' How can I describe the grief of the Evening of the Strangers (Shaam-e-Ghariban)?

Farzand E Fatima Ka Zamee Par Kata Hai Sar Laaya Hai Zuljanah Ye Rote Hue Khabar Khaime Jalane Aagai Hai Fauje Badsiyar Aisa Luta Ke Fir Na Basa Fatima Ka Ghar Faila Hai Dasht E Zulm Me Charo Taraf Dhua

The son of Fatima has had his head severed upon the earth, Zuljanah has brought this news while weeping. The army of the wicked has come to burn the tents, They looted it in such a way that Fatima's house could never be rebuilt, Smoke has spread in all directions across the desert of tyranny.

Jo Shere Haq Ka Sher Tha Sahil Pe Mar Gaya Ehle Haram Pe Zulm Ka Aghaaz Hogaya Khoone Sagheer Chehrae Shabbir Dho Gaya Asghar Nikal Ke Jhoole Se Maqtal Me Kho Gaya Dhundhe Rabab Ab Tumhe Asghar Kahan Kahan?

He who was the Lion of the Lion of God (Ali) died on the riverbank, The beginning of tyranny upon the Prophet's family had begun. The blood of the infant washed over the face of Shabbir (Hussain), Asghar left his cradle and was lost in the battlefield, Where can Rubab search for you now, Asghar?

Bistar Me Aag Abid E Muztar Ke Lag Gai Zainab Ke Sar Pe Chadar E Zahra Nahi Rahi Baali Sakina Bangai Tasweer Dard Ki Binte Abu Turab Ki Ye Haay Bebasi Ansu Lahu Ke Roti Hai Maqtal Me Ek Maa

Fire has caught the bed of the distressed Abid (Imam Sajjad), Zahra's veil no longer remains on Zainab's head. Young Sakina has become the portrait of pain, This is the helplessness of the daughter of Abu Turab (Ali), A mother is weeping tears of blood in the battlefield.

Aai Hai Aisi Shame Ghariban Zameen Par Bache Panaah Dhundh Rahe Hai Idhar Udhar Dil Muztarib Hai Dard Se Larzeeda Hai Nazar Loota Hai Ehle Zulm Ne Binte Nabi Ka Ghar Aflaak Sun Rahe Hai Sakina Ki Hichkiya

Such an Evening of the Strangers has descended upon the earth, The children are searching for refuge here and there. The heart is restless, the vision trembles with pain, The people of tyranny have looted the house of the Prophet's daughter, The heavens are listening to the sobs of Sakina.

Ashre Ka Din Tamaam Hua Raat Aagai Kitne Hi Chaand Taare Zamee Aaj Khagai Uthta Hai Dil Me Dard Ghata Gham Ki Cha Gai Kitne Diye Hawae Sitam Tu Bujha Gai Phaili Hui Hai Charo Taraf Haul Nakiya

The day of Ashura has ended, the night has arrived, How many moons and stars has the earth consumed today? Pain rises in the heart, the clouds of grief have gathered, How many lamps has the wind of oppression extinguished? Terror and fear have spread in all directions.

Kab Tak Rahega Aur Ghamo Dard Ka Bayaan Safdar Bapa Hai Shore Fugha Rok Le Zaba Nauhe Pe Tere Rote Hai Sab Tifl Aur Jawa Tune Bayaan Kar Diya Jab Gham Ki Daastan Aasi Tere Gunaah Hue Hai Dhua Dhua

For how long will the description of grief and pain continue? Safdar, the noise of lamentation is rising, stop your tongue, All the children and youth are weeping at your Noha, When you narrated the story of the grief, O sinner, your sins have turned into smoke (been forgiven).
