Haye.. Haaye

Alas... Alas

Bayaan Karta Hu Zindaa'n Mein Kya Qayamat Thi Ghareeb Baba Se Jis Dum Ghareeb Beti Mili Wo Apne Baba Ke Sar Se Lipat Ke Rone Lagi Tadap Ke Li Jo Sakina Ne Akhri Hichki Kaleja Phat-Ta Hai Kaise Sunau Wo Manzar Rakhe The Beti Ne Rukhsar Baap Ke Muh Par

I describe what a calamity occurred in the prison When the destitute daughter met her destitute father She clung to her father's head and began to weep With a convulsion, Sakina took her final breath My heart tears apart, how can I describe that scene The daughter had placed her cheek against her father's face

Andheri Qaid Mein Phir Kya Hua Suno Aage Behen Ko Dekha Jo Baba Ke Sar Se Lipte Hue Tadap Ke Baali Sakina Ke Paas Aa Pohche Jo Nabz Dekhi To Sajjad Ne Kaha Roke Utha Rahi Thi Jo Ghum Wo Thak Gayi Ghum Se Phuphi Humari Sakina Bichhad Gayhi Hum Se

Listen further to what happened in the dark prison Seeing his sister clinging to their father's head Sajjad rushed in agony to where Sakina lay When he checked her pulse, Sajjad wept and said The grief she was bearing, she grew weary of that grief Our aunt, Sakina has departed from us

Laraz Raha Tha Wo Zindaan Aah O Girya Se Ye Bole Abid E Muztar Ghareeb E Zahra Se

That prison was trembling with sighs and weeping The restless Abid said this to the destitute one of Zahra

Chhudau Kaise? Chhudau Kaise Mai Sar Aapka Sakina Se? Mili Hai Kitne Dino Baad Apne Baba Se Bohot Ghareeb Hu Ye Ghum Utha Na Paunga Bahan Ki God Se Mai Sar Chhuda Na Paunga

How do I separate? How do I separate your head from Sakina? She has met her father after so many days I am very helpless, I will not be able to bear this grief I will not be able to separate the head from my sister's lap

Sar E Hussain Chhudaya Jo Ya Ali Keh Kar Kaha Sakina Se Tum Par Salam Aye Khwahar Na Jaane Kitne Hai Ehsaan Aapke Mujhpar Ye Bhai Kaise Utarega Qabr Ke Anadar Ye Dekho Jakda Hai Zanjeer Mein Humara Badan Tumhara Laasha Na Bhai Se Uth Sakega Bahan

When I separated Hussain's head, saying 'Ya Ali' I said to Sakina, 'Peace be upon you, oh sister' I do not know how many favors you have upon me How will this brother lower you into the grave? Look, our body is shackled in chains Your brother will not be able to lift your corpse, sister

Sitamgaro Ne Jo Karbobala Mein Bandhi Thi Gale Mein Hogayi Paywast Haye Wo Rassi Chhini Thi Baliya'n, Hai Kaan Aaj Bhi Zakhmi Sitam Ki Hadd Ye Hui Aap Margayi Pyaasi Ayaa'n Hai Chehre Pa Ab Tak Nishaa'n Tamacho Ke Chupau Kaise Bhala Mai Ye Neel Gaalo Ke

The rope that the oppressors tied in Karbala Alas, it became embedded in her neck Her earrings were snatched, her ears are still wounded today The limit of oppression was that you died thirsty The marks of slaps are still visible on your face How can I hide these bruises on your cheeks?

Woh Raahe Shaam Woh Ghurbat Bhulau Mai Kaise? Ek Aisa Mod Tha Ghazi Ka Sar Tha Naize Pe Jab Unke Saamne Laakar Pakad Ke Baalo Se Tamache Maare The Zalim Ne Tumko Has Has Ke Laeen Kehta Tha Abbas Ab Na Aayega Nahi Hai Koi Jo Durro Se Ab Bachaega

How can I forget that path to Shaam and that desolation? There was a turn where Ghazi's head was on a spear When they brought you before it, grabbing you by your hair The tyrant slapped you while laughing The accursed one used to say, 'Abbas will not come now' 'There is no one left to save you from the lashes now'

Pukari Laashe Sakina Pe Zainab E Muztar Ye Karbala Mein Qayamat Guzar Gayi Tumpar Phuphi Ke Saath Khadi Dekhti Rahi Manzar Chalaya Bhai Ke Sukhe Gale Pe Jab Khanjar Kaha Ye Bhai Ne, Do Mera Saath Aye Zainab Rakho Sakina Ki Ankho'n Pe Haath Aye Zainab

The restless Zainab cried over Sakina's corpse 'This calamity passed over you in Karbala' Standing with her aunt, she kept watching the scene When the dagger was run across my brother's parched throat My brother said, 'Support me, oh Zainab' 'Place your hand over Sakina's eyes, oh Zainab'

Phuphi Bhatije Se Kehti Thi Mat Karo Faryaad Tumhara Saath Mai Deti Hu Sayyed E Sajjad Padi Hai Hum Pe Qayamat Se Bhi Badi Uftaad Tumhari Tarha Mere Haath Bhi Nahi Azaad Hai Ab Ye Shaam Ka Zindaan Hi Watan Iska Yehi Jala Hua Kurta Hai, Ab Kafan Iska

The aunt said to her nephew, 'Do not lament' 'I am with you, Sayyed-e-Sajjad' 'A calamity greater than the Day of Judgment has befallen us' 'Like yours, my hands are also not free' 'Now this prison of Shaam is her homeland' 'This burnt shirt is now her shroud'

Kaha Ye Saniye Zahra Ne Bibiyo Aao Janaza Bali Sakina Ka Saath Uthwao Jo Apne Baba Ko Roti Thi Usko Dafnao Nahi Hai Pani To Turbat Pe Ashk Barsao Wo Raat Aayi Thi Zeeshan Aur Raza Kaisi Lahad Mein So Gayi Beti Ghareeb E Zahra Ki

The second Zahra (Zainab) said, 'Ladies, come' 'Help lift the funeral of young Sakina' 'Bury her who used to weep for her father' 'If there is no water, then shed tears upon her grave' 'What a night it was, Zeeshan and Raza' 'The daughter of the destitute one of Zahra went to sleep in the grave'
