Khwaab Mein Zahra Ne Baba Ko Jo Dekha Ek Shab Khush Hui Paas Mai Baba Ke Chali Jaungi Ab Haye Rone Lagi Bachon Ka Khayal Aa Gaya Jab Ye Khabar Hi Na Hui Paas Hussain Aa Gaye Kab Amma Dhoondenge Kahan Yaad Agar Aayengi Hum To Mar Jayenge Agar Aap Chali Jayengi

One night, when Zahra (s.a.) saw her father (the Prophet) in a dream, She rejoiced, thinking, 'Now I shall go to be with my father.' But alas, she began to weep when she thought of her children, And she did not even realize when Hussain (a.s.) had come to her side. 'Where will they look for you, Mother, if they remember you? We will surely die if you depart from us.'

Maa Ne Jab Ye Suna Dil Tadapne Laga Pyar Karte Huye Fatima Ne Kaha

When the Mother heard this, her heart began to ache, And with great affection, Fatima (s.a.) spoke:

Dekho Hussain Mere Hussain Aise Nahi Kehte

Look, Hussain, my Hussain, Do not say such things.

Maa Kisi Ki Hamesha Rahi Hai Kabhi Mai Bhi Bichdi Thi Amma Se Bachpan Mein Hi Maa Ke Jaane Ka Dukh To Bahot Tha Magar Dekho Mai Bhi To Bin Maa Ke Jeeti Rahi Tumko Meri Qasam Tum Se Bichde Jo Hum Zabt Karna Hai Ay Laal Maa Ka Ye Gham

Has anyone's mother ever stayed forever? I too was separated from my mother in my childhood. The pain of a mother's departure was immense, but, Look, I too kept living without a mother. I swear to you, if I am separated from you, You must endure this grief of your mother, O my son.

Haal Maine Kisi Ko Sunaya Nahi Khud To Royi Ali Ko Bataya Nahi Mera Pehlu Shakista Hai Bas Isliye Apne Seene Se Tujhko Lagaya Nahi Tooti Hai Phasliyan Kar Na Paayi Bayan Kitni Takleef Mein Jee Rahi Hai Ye Maa

I have not told my condition to anyone, I wept myself, but did not tell Ali (a.s.). My side is broken, and that is the only reason, Why I have not held you to my chest. My ribs are broken, I could not even express it, In how much agony this mother is living.

Mujhko Maloom Hai Mere Noor E Nazar Pyaas Lagti Hai Tumko Bahot Raat Bhar Pyaas Sehne Ki Aadat Bhi Daalo Zara Pyaasa Rehna Pade Kab Kahan Kya Khabar Pyaas Tum Ko Lage Aur Na Pani Mile Ye Dua Hai Ke Wo Din Na Aaye Kabhi

I know, O light of my eyes, That you feel very thirsty throughout the night. Try to get used to enduring thirst a little, Who knows when or where you might have to remain thirsty. That you feel thirsty and find no water— My prayer is that such a day never comes.

Ay Mere Dil Mere Chain Mere Haseen Na Pareshan Ho Maa Abhi Hai Yahin Dekho Marne Ki Ab Baat Karna Nahi Maut Se Pehle Hum Mar Na Jaye Kahin Tum Ho Dunya Meri Tum Se Hai Zindagi Tum Ko Dekhun To Chalti Hai Saansein Meri

O my heart, my peace, my beautiful one, Do not be distressed, Mother is still here. Look, do not speak of dying now, Lest we die before death itself. You are my world, from you is my life, When I see you, my breath continues.

Tumko Khaana Bhi Fizza Khilayegi Ab Aur Savere Wohi Moo Dhulayegi Ab Tum Jahan Jaoge Saath Jayegi Wo Saath Maa Ki Tarha Wo Nibhayegi Ab Paalegi Ab Wohi Zid Na Karna Koi Khush Rahoge To Maa Ko Bhi Hogi Khushi

Now Fizza will feed you your meals, And in the morning, she will wash your face. Wherever you go, she will accompany you, She will fulfill the role of a mother now. She will raise you, do not be stubborn, If you remain happy, your mother will also be happy.

Din Wo Aaya Ke Jab Chal Basi Fatima Maa Ki Mayyat Pe Shabbir Ne Di Sada Tum Bulaogi To Paas Aaunga Mai Toote Bande Kafan Fatima Ne Kaha Aaja Ay Meri Jaan Tujhpe Qurban Maa Jab Hussain Aake Lipte To Boli Ye Maa

The day came when Fatima (s.a.) passed away, Shabbir (Hussain) cried out over his mother's bier, 'If you call me, I will come to you.' The shroud bindings broke, and Fatima (s.a.) said, 'Come, O my life, your mother is sacrificed for you.' When Hussain came and embraced her, this is what the mother said:

Ay Raza Aur Zeeshan Dil Thaam Lo Roke Shabbir Kehte Thay Amma Suno Dekho Tumne Bulaaya To Mai Aa Gaya Jab Bulaunga Aaogi Waada Karo Maa Ne Waada Kiya Beta Chup Hogaya Jab Janaza Utha Phir Na Aayi Sada

O Raza and Zeeshan, hold your hearts, Weeping, Shabbir said, 'Mother, listen, Look, you called me, and I have come. Promise me that when I call, you will come.' The mother promised, and the son fell silent. When the funeral procession rose, no voice came again.

Mere Hussain

My Hussain
