Shaam Ki Aurton Ek Waada Karo
Mir Hasan Mir
As the caravan prepares to leave the prison of Shaam, a grieving mother asks the local women to watch over the small, lonely grave of her daughter Sakina.
Shaam Ki Aurton Ek Waada Karo, Roz Qabre Sakina Pe Aaogi Tum
O women of Shaam, make me a promise: that you will come to Sakina's grave every day.
Jab Talak Laut Kar Mai Na Aaun, Aake Shamma Jalaogi Tum
Until I return, you will come and light a candle there.
Surate Shaahe Deen Bekafan Bhi, Mere Jaisi Aseer-e-Mehen Bhi Khaali Kurte Mai Madhfun-e-Ghurbat, Misl-e-Asghar Rahi Bekafan Bhi Kya Kafan Ki Tarah Roz Chadar, Iss Lahad Par Chadhaaogi Tum
Like the King of Religion, she too lies without a shroud; like me, she is a prisoner of sorrow. Buried in poverty in just an empty shirt, she remained shroudless like Asghar. Will you, like a shroud, lay a sheet upon this grave every day?
Eik Yasrab Ki Thi Shaahzaadi, Uska Saqqa Tha Abbas Ghaazi Mashq Laikar Gaya Su-e-Dariyaa, Aur Qabze Mai Karli Taraayi Loriyon Mai Yeh Sachi Kahaani, Roz Isko Sunaaogi Tum
There was a princess from Yathrib, whose water-bearer was Abbas the Warrior. He took the water-skin towards the river, and seized the riverbank. In your lullabies, you will tell her this true story every day.
Hamne Zindaan Se Paayi Rihaai, Ab Behen Paas Hogi Na Bhai Baat Itni Si Bas Yaad Rakhna, Meri Bacchi Hai Gham Ki Sataayi Tumne Bazaar Main Toh Sataaya, Ab Na Isko Sataaogi Tum
We have found release from the prison, now neither brother nor sister will be by her side. Just remember this one thing: my child is tormented by grief. You tormented her in the bazaar, but now you will not torment her anymore.
Jab Kabhi Qaid Khane Main Aana, Beridaa Bibiyon Ko Na Laana Tumko Asghar Bhi Dega Duaaen, Iski Tanhaiyaan Yun Mitaana Chhote Chhote Se Baccho Ko Laakar, Paas Iske Sulaaogi Tum
Whenever you come to the prison house, do not bring unveiled ladies. Asghar will also bless you; alleviate her loneliness in this way: by bringing small children to sleep beside her.
Qabre Bekas Pe Aansun Bahaane, Haal Qaide Sitam Ka Sunaane Qaafla Karbala Ko Chalaa Hai, Iske Baba Ka Chehlum Manaane Itna Kehdo Hamaari Taraf Se, Iska Chehlum Manaaogi Tum
To shed tears on the grave of the helpless, to tell the tale of the prison's cruelty—the caravan has set off for Karbala to observe the Chehlum of her father. Just say this on our behalf: that you will observe her Chehlum.
Mei Sikhati Hoon Gham Ka Saliqa, Kaisay Behlaogi Dil Dhuki Ka Jub Bhi Ronay Ki Avaaz Aaaey, Naam Layna Tum Ibn-e-Ali Ka Baba Aatahy Hain Athay Hain Bibi, Bus Yehi Kehti Jaogi Tum
I am teaching you the etiquette of grief, how to comfort a broken heart. Whenever the sound of crying comes, take the name of the Son of Ali. Say, 'Bibi, your father is coming, he is coming,' and keep saying only this.
Shaamiyon Ki Bahu Betiyon Se, Keh Rahi Thi Woh Akbar Yeh Roke Yeh Amaanat Hai Pardesiyon Ki, Kar Rahi Hun Tumhaare Hawaale Mujhse Ik Baar Bas Itna Kehdo, Apna Waada Nibhaaogi Tum
To the daughters and daughters-in-law of the people of Shaam, weeping, Akbar (Zainab) was saying: 'This is the trust of the strangers, I am leaving her in your care. Just tell me this once: that you will fulfill your promise.'
