Haaye

Alas!

Salam Karke Jo Ehle Haram Ko Shahe Huda Rawana Janibe Maqtal Hue To Roke Kaha Sukoon E Qalb O Jigar, Aye Meri Sakina Aa Gale Lagalu Tujhe Alwidayi Hai Lamha

After bidding farewell to the women of the household, the King of Guidance (Imam Hussain) turned towards the battlefield, and stopping, said: 'O peace of my heart and soul, come here, my Sakina, Let me embrace you, for this is the moment of final goodbye.'

Ab Hum Na Aaenge, Maqtal Me Shab Guzarenge Na Tum Pukarna Humko Na Hum Pukarenge Bole Sheh Hum Toh, Marne Chale Aye Sakina Bus Ab Sochle

We will not return now; we shall spend the night on the battlefield. Do not call out to us, and we shall not call out to you. The King said, 'I am going to my martyrdom, O Sakina, just contemplate this now.'

Tumko Rehna Hai Zindaan Me

You have to live in the prison.

Khwab Mat Dekhna Ghar Ke Tum ..Haaye Ghar Na Jaogi Ab Marke Tum ..Haaye Zakhm Khaogi Pathar Ke Tum

Do not dream of returning home, alas. You will not go home, even after you die, alas. You will suffer wounds from stones.

Kis Tarha Se Batau Tujhe ..Haaye Hum Palat Kar Na Aaenge Ab ..Haaye Hai Jahan Mere Ansaar Sab ..Haaye Hum Rahenge Wahi'n Aaj Shab

How can I tell you, alas, That we will not return now, alas. Where all my companions are, alas, That is where we will stay tonight.

Lagke Sona Phuphi Ke Gale ..Haaye Tashnagi Hadse Badh Jaegi ..Haaye Alqama Tumse Sharmaegi ..Haaye Phir Bhi Kuch Kar Nahi Paegi

Sleep while clinging to your aunt, alas. The thirst will exceed all limits, alas. The Alqama (river) will feel ashamed before you, alas, Yet it will not be able to do anything.

Shikwa Karna Na Abbas Se ..Haaye Hai Tamache Muqaddar Tera ..Haaye Ae Meri Dukhtare Ghumzada ..Haaye Tujhpe Hogi Na Kya Kya Jafa

Do not complain to Abbas, alas. Slaps are your destiny, alas. O my grief-stricken daughter, alas, What cruelties will not be inflicted upon you?

Ek Rasan Hogi Barah Gale ..Haaye Tu Hai And Teri Majbooriyan ..Haaye Sun Meri Laadli Meri Jaan ..Haaye Hum Kahan Honge Aur Tum Kahan

One rope will bind twelve necks, alas. You are alone and your helplessness, alas. Listen, my darling, my life, alas, Where will I be, and where will you be?

Ab Sadae'n Na Dena Mujhe ..Haaye Hogi Chehre Pe Garde Safar ..Haaye Khoon Kaano Ka Rukhsaar Par ..Haaye Ae Sakina Meri Nauhagar

Do not call out to me now, alas. There will be the dust of travel on your face, alas. Blood from your ears will be on your cheeks, alas, O my mourning Sakina.

Mere Daman Ko Ab Chhod De ..Haaye Yaad Sughra Ki Tadpaegi ..Haaye Jab Watan Ki Hawa Aaegi ..Haaye Ashk Aankho'n Se Barsaegi

Let go of my hem now, alas. The memory of Sughra will torment you, alas. When the breeze of your homeland comes, alas, It will make tears rain from your eyes.

Nanhe Haatho'n Se Mu' Dhanple ..Haaye Humko Rehna Hai Maqtal Me Ab ..Haaye Ab Mulaqat Ho Jane Kab ..Haaye Maut Se Badhke Hai Ye Ghazab

Cover your face with your tiny hands, alas. We have to stay on the battlefield now, alas. Who knows when we will meet again, alas, This calamity is worse than death.

Hum Pukarenge Beti Kise ..Haaye Ae Rehan O Raza Shahe Dee'n ..Haaye Kehte The Aye Meri Naznee'n ..Haaye Mujhko Sadma Ye Kam To Nahi Sabr Reha Hoke Ghar Jaenge ..Haaye

Whom will I call 'daughter' now, alas? O Rehan and Raza, the King of Faith, alas, Used to say, 'O my delicate one,' alas, This grief is not small for me, (They) will go home after being released with patience, alas.
