Utho Abbas

Ek Bhatija Ke Siwa Koi Madadgar Nahi

Except for one nephew, there is no helper left

Shaam Jaana Hai Rida Sar Pe Nahi Hai Bhaya

I have to go to Shaam, and I have no veil on my head, brother

Dile Gham Zadaa Kare Ye Buka, Behan Ka Nahi Koi Aasra,

This grief-stricken heart cries out, Your sister has no support left,

Ghar Se Nikli Thi To Mehmil Me Bithaya Tune

When I left home, you seated me in the litter

Safar Dusra Shuroo Hai Mera, Chali Chawd Ke Behan Karbela,

My second journey has begun, Leaving Karbala, your sister departs,

Mayne Yasrab Ki Bhi Galiya Na Kabhi Dekhi Thi

I had never even seen the streets of Medina

Behan Kya Kare Milenge Mujhe, Naye Log Or Naye Raste,

What can your sister do? I will encounter, New people and new paths,

Maa Ki Tarha Se Mein Darbare Sitam Jawoongi

Like Mother, I will go to the court of tyranny

Bataawo Zaraa Mere Bawafaa, Garibul Watan Kare Kya Bhala

Tell me, my loyal one, What is a stranger in a foreign land to do?

Samne Kaise Me Shiri Ka Karungi Socho

Think, how will I face the humiliation?

Karoo Mein Fugaa Bandhi Reshwa, Huwi Kayd Sab Nabi Zaadiya,

I lament, bound in ropes, All the daughters of the Prophet are taken captive,

Kya Gawaara Hein Ke Sab Dekhe Khule Sar Mujko

How is it acceptable that everyone sees me with an uncovered head?

Duwa Do Mujhe Sikha Do Mujhe, Chaloo Kis Tarha Bataado Mujhe,

Give me your blessing, teach me, Tell me how I should walk,

Shimr Marega Sakina Ko Behan Royengi

Shimr will strike Sakina, and your sister will weep

Kerenge Sitam Laeen Har Kadam, Tu Hein Har Kadam Bhulayenge Hum

The accursed ones will commit tyranny at every step, You are at every step, we will remember you

Kaise Jayengi Nabizadi Sitam Gharo Mein

How will the Prophet's daughter go into the houses of tyranny?
