Shaam-e-Ghariban

The sun sets over the battlefield of Karbala, leaving the family of the Prophet without their protectors. The tents are burning, and the women and children are left alone in the dark.
Sadaat Hai Pardes Hai Aur Shaam-E-Ghariban Saadat Hai Pardes Hai

Kayamat Ke Manzar Sare Kabalaa Hai Na Salaar Hai Aur Na Lashker Bachaa Hai Qayamat Ka Manzar Khudda Yaa Kisi Par Na Raat Aaye Aisi Ye Kehte Huwe Suraj Gurur Ho Gayaa Hai Qayamat Ka Manzar Kya Waqt Hai Ghazi Nahi Zainab Hai Nigheban
The scene of Judgment Day is all over Karbala. There is no commander left, nor is there an army—what a scene of doomsday. O God, may such a night never come upon anyone. Saying this, the sun has set—what a scene of doomsday. What a time this is; the Ghazi (Abbas) is gone, and Zainab is the guardian.

Daryaa Pe Tarapta Hai Hai Alamdaar Kaa Laashaa Maqtal Me Ajab Haal Se Ati Hai Sakina Khaimo Kaa Dhuwan Aankh Me Jhal Taa Huwaa Daman
The body of the Standard-bearer writhes on the riverbank. Sakina comes from the battlefield in a strange state, The smoke of the tents in her eyes, her hem burning.
Kehte Hai Ye Jhalte Huwe Khaymon Mei Musalle Sajjad Tahajud To Zara Chain Se Perhle Afsoos Ye Mohlat Bhi Nahi Dete Musalman
The prayer mats in the burning tents seem to say: 'Sajjad, offer your Tahajjud (night prayer) in peace.' Alas, these Muslims do not even grant this respite.
