Utarun Kaise Mai Teeron Se Teri Laash Hussain

Utarun Kaise Mai Teeron Se Teri Laash Hussain

Ameer Hasan Aamir

Bibi Fatima sits beside her son Hussain on the battlefield of Karbala. She struggles to lift his body because it is covered in countless arrows.

Utarun Kaise Main Teeron Se Laash-E-Hussain

How can I remove the arrows from your body, Hussain?

Pisar Ke Pehlu Mein Baithi Yeh Kehti Thi Zahra

Sitting by her son's side, Zahra was saying this:

Ghara Hai Teeron Ki Toh Teergi Mein Lakht-E-Jigar Madad Ko Apni Main Kisko Bulaun Noor-E-Nazar Samajh Mein Kuch Nahi Aata Main Kya Karun Beta

You are surrounded by the darkness of arrows, piece of my heart, Whom shall I call to help you, light of my eyes? I cannot understand what I should do, my son.

Nazar Nahi Mujhe Aata Hai Tera Tan Beta Dhuan Dhuan Meri Nazron Mein Hai Yeh Ban Beta Ke Mera Qalb Toh Ab Ban Gaya Hai Karbala

I cannot see your body, my son, Everything in my sight is filled with smoke, my son, For my heart has now become Karbala.

Zamanay Walon Ka Ehsas Dekho Mar Bhi Chuka Tha Jis Pe Naaz Woh Abbas Dekho Mar Bhi Chuka Uthaye Hathon Ko Kehti Thi Fatima Zahra

Behold, the conscience of the people of this age has died, He whom I was proud of, Abbas, has also died, Raising her hands, Fatima Zahra was saying:

Hai Teer Tan Mein Ya Teeron Pe Hai Yeh Tan Beta Hazara Yahi Karti Hun Bas Jatan Beta Tarapta Hai Tu Jo Beta Bilakti Hai Mamta

Are the arrows in your body, or is your body upon the arrows, my son? I am making thousands of attempts, just this, my son, When you writhe in pain, my motherly love wails.

Paraye Des Mein Tujhko Qaza Ne Ghera Hai Tujhe Ghutan Ne Nahi Is Fiza Ne Ghera Hai Main Kaise Dekhun Tujhe Laal Ab Tarapta Hua

In a foreign land, death has surrounded you, It is not suffocation, but this atmosphere that has surrounded you, How can I watch you writhing in pain, my beloved son?

Yeh Kalma Goyon Ne Bint-E-Nabi Ko Ajr Diya Tujhe Toh Nara-E-Takbeer Keh Ke Qatl Kiya Karungi Hashr Ke Maidan Mein Ab Tera Nauha

This is the reward the 'believers' gave to the Prophet's daughter, They killed you while shouting the Takbeer, I will now recite your elegy on the Day of Judgment.

Na Tujhko Aasman Raas Aaya Na Zameen Beta Jhuki Hai Teeron Pe Zakhmi Teri Jabeen Beta Ke Jisko Choomte Thay Subah-O-Shaam Mere Baba

Neither the sky nor the earth proved favorable to you, my son, Your wounded forehead is bowed upon the arrows, my son, The same forehead that my father used to kiss morning and evening.

Jahan Jahan Se Bhi Main Khenchti Hun Teer-O-Tabar Wahan Wahan Nazar Aata Hai Ek Naya Manzar Kahin Hai Pasliyan Tooti Kahin Chida Seena

Wherever I pull out an arrow or a blade, A new scene appears before my eyes, Somewhere ribs are broken, somewhere the chest is pierced.

Ae Shams Aur Ae Aamir Dua Karo Rab Se Na Is Tarah Se Koi Maa Pisar Ka Gham Dekhe Mere Toh Lab Pe Sada Rehta Hai Yahi Nauha

O Shams and O Aamir, pray to the Lord, That no mother should ever see the grief of her son in this way, This is the elegy that always remains on my lips.
