Ya Hussain

O Hussain

Ya Hussain.

O Hussain.

Yazid Bola, Badi Fauj Mere Haath Mein Hai Hussain Bole, Hussain Bole. Hussain Bole Natijaa, Khuda Ke Hath Mein Hai Yazid Bola, Jo Bayyat Karo Khazaana Hai Hussain... Hussain Bole Ke Nana Ko Muh Dikhaana Hai Yazid Bola, Mai Zalim Hu, Zulm Karta Hu Hussain.. Ya Hussain Hussain Bole, Mai Sayyed Hu, Sabr Kar Ta Hu Ya Hussain

Yazid said, "A great army is in my hands." Hussain spoke, Hussain spoke. Hussain said, "The outcome is in God's hands." Yazid said, "If you pledge allegiance, there is treasure." Hussain... Hussain said, "I must show my face to my Grandfather (the Prophet)." Yazid said, "I am a tyrant, I commit tyranny." Hussain... O Hussain. Hussain said, "I am a Sayyed, I practice patience." O Hussain.

Woh Khaime Jal Rahe Hai, Ye Shaam E Ghareeba'n Hai

Those tents are burning, this is the Evening of the Strangers (Shaam-e-Ghareeban).

Ye Ban Me Bikhri Lashein Ab Shaam-E Ka Zindan Hai

These bodies scattered in the wilderness, Now it is the prison of Shaam.

Ik Do Peher Me Ujda, Ghar Aisa Fatima Ka Thee Jis Jagah Pe Khayme Ab Us Jagah Dhuwa'n Hai

In just a few hours, the house of Fatima was ruined so; Where the tents once stood, Now there is only smoke.

Akbar Ne Jab Azaan Di, Ye Bekasi Kaha'n Thi Wo Subho Ki Azaan Thi Ye Shaam Ki Azaa'n Hai

When Akbar gave the Adhan, where was this helplessness? That was the Adhan of the morning, This is the Adhan of the evening.

Besar Koi Namaazi, Be Dast Koi Ghazi Sine Me Ek Jawaa'n Ke Tooti Huwi Sinaa Hai

One worshipper is headless, one Ghazi (Abbas) is armless; In the chest of a youth, There is a broken spearhead.

Pehra Badal Gaya Hai, Zainab Ye Karbala Hai Zainab Ke Hath Me Ab Abbas Ka Nishaa'n Hai

The guard has changed, Zainab, this is Karbala; In Zainab's hand now, Is the standard of Abbas.

Kya Dhund Thi Hai Seena? Aa Paas Aa Sakina Seene Pe Sone Wali Baba Tera Yahaa'n Hai

Why are you searching, Sakina? Come, come closer; You who used to sleep on his chest, Your father is here.

Rehan Ho Ke Sarwar, Hai Sayyeda Ke Naukar Ek Nauhago Hai Inka Ek Inka Nauhakhwaa'n Hai

Rehan and Sarwar are servants of the Sayyeda (Fatima); One is their lamenter (poet), And one is their reciter (noha-khwan).

Ye Ban Me Bikhri Lashein Ab Shaam-E Ka Zindan Hai

These bodies scattered in the wilderness, Now it is the prison of Shaam.
