Sughra Acha Hi Kiya

Sughra Acha Hi Kiya

Irfan Haider

Bibi Zainab returns from the prison of Shaam and tells Bibi Sughra that she was fortunate not to have been at Karbala. She explains the terrible tragedies she witnessed there.

NohaZindan Shaam

Haye Sughra

Alas, Sughra

Haaye

Alas

Jo Chhut Ke Shaam Ke Zindaa Se Aayi Binte Ali Nabi Ke Roze Pe Sughra Se Roke Kehne Lagi Warna Meri Tarha Chhin Jaati Tumhari Bhi Rida

When the daughter of Ali returned, released from the prison of Shaam, She stood at the Prophet's grave and weeping, said to Sughra, 'Otherwise, like me, your veil would have been snatched away too.'

Sughra Acha Hi Kiya Tum Na Gayi Karbobala

Sughra, it was for the best that you did not go to Karbala.

Tum Charagho Ko Yaha Takti Rahi Shamo Sahar Khoo Rulati Thi Tumhe Roz Yaha Yaad E Padar Tumne Akbar Ke Kaleje Me Na Dekha Naiza

You kept gazing at the lamps here, morning and evening, The memory of your father made you weep tears of blood daily here, You did not see the spear in Akbar's chest.

Kya Batau Ke Waha Kaise Masaeb Toote Ek Hi Roz Me Sab God Ke Paale Chhoote Ek Ek Laash Pe Khaimo Me Qayamat Thi Bapa

How can I describe what calamities befell us there? In just one day, all the children of my lap were lost, For every single corpse, a doomsday erupted in the tents.

Kis Tarha Aun O Mohd Ke Janaze Aaye Shaah Maqtal Se Unhe Kaise Utha Kar Laye Sunke Karti Ho Buka Dekh Ke Aajati Qaza

How the funeral biers of Aun and Muhammad arrived, How the King (Hussain) carried them from the battlefield, Just hearing this makes you weep; if you had seen it, death would have come to you.

Ghash Pe Ghash Khaati Thi Saidaniya Karti Thi Buka Ek Ghatri Me Jo Qasim Ka Sarapa Aaya Us Ghadi Khaima E Sadaat Me Mehshar Tha Bapa

The noble ladies were fainting, one after another, and wailing, When Qasim's body arrived, gathered in a bundle, At that moment, a scene of judgment day erupted in the tents of the Sadaat.

Meri In Ankho Ne Dekha Hai Wo Manzar Dukhiya Baap Ke Kaanpte Haatho Pe Pisar Ka Laasha Saath Akbar Ke Tumhara Bhi Janaza Uthta

My eyes have seen that tragic scene, O sorrowful one, The son's corpse on the father's trembling hands, Along with Akbar, your funeral would have risen too.

Haye Paani Lene Ko Tarai Pe Gaya Tha Saqqa Phir Alamdaar Nahi Sirf Alam Aaya Tha Haye Maqtal Se Kamar Thaame Tumhare Baba

Alas, the Saqqa (water-bearer) had gone to the riverbank to fetch water, Then, not the standard-bearer, but only the standard returned, Alas, your father returned from the battlefield clutching his back.

Maslehat Kya Thi Tumhe Le Na Gaye Kyu Sarwar Asr E Aashoor Khula Raaz Ye Sughra Mujhpar Pushte Shabbir Pe Qatil Tha Sarhane Zehra

What was the wisdom behind why the Master did not take you? On the afternoon of Ashura, this secret was revealed to me, Sughra, Behind Hussain was the killer, and at his head was Zahra.

Haye Kaise Manzar Wo Kare Mazharo Irfan Bayaa Thi Ye Sughra Ke Qareeb Zainab E Muztar Ki Fughaa Mere Baalo Ki Safedi Me Hai Ye Raaz Chhupa

Alas, how can Mazhar and Irfan describe that scene? This was the lament of the distressed Zainab near Sughra, 'In the whiteness of my hair, this secret is hidden.'

Haye Sughra..

Alas, Sughra...
