Ya Ali

O Ali

Ya Ali Tu Hi Tu

O Ali, You and only You

Ibtada Sura E Alhamd Say Kerta Ho Kalam Aye Shab E Qadar Teray Sadqay Ata Ho Ilham Ya Ali Teri Madad Say You Likho Tera Moqam Tu Hi Tu Charoo Teraf Deakhnay Lagay Meray Imam Harf Ba Harf Samaat Main Sama Jaye Ali Main Kaho Nuqta E Ba Aur Sada Aye Ali

I begin my speech with the Sura Al-Hamd, O Night of Power (Shab-e-Qadr), may inspiration be granted for your sake. O Ali, with your help, let me write of your status, 'You and only You'—my Imam appears everywhere I look. May every letter, every word, resonate within my hearing, Ali, I utter the dot beneath the 'Ba', and the voice that comes is 'Ali'.

Wo Shab E Tera Rajab Aur Wo Allah Ka Ghar Janab E Baitay Khuda Bint E Asad Ka Wo Safer Hans Ka Jibraial E Ame Detay Tay Dunia Ko Khabar Ghar Main Allah Ka Utra Abu Talib Ka Piser Muntazir Jis Kay Nabi Tay Wo Wali Aya Hai Tot Ker Kaba Bhi Kahta Tha Ali Aya Hai

That night of the thirteenth of Rajab, and that House of Allah, The journey of the daughter of Asad, the guest of God. Smiling, Gabriel the Trustworthy gave the news to the world, Into the House of Allah descended the son of Abu Talib. The Saint (Wali) for whom the Prophet waited has arrived, The Kaaba itself broke open to proclaim: 'Ali has arrived!'

Amad E Mah E Rajab Aur Teri Amad Amad Shaid E Zat E Khudawand Ki Ashhad Amad Nafs E Mabood Ki Amad Sir E Mabad Amad Ghar Main Yadullah Ki Sarmad Amad

The arrival of the month of Rajab, and the arrival of you, The witness to the Essence of the Divine, the testimony has arrived. The Soul of the Worshipped has arrived, the secret of the sanctuary has arrived, Into the House, the eternal remembrance of Allah (Yadullah) has arrived.

Samna Johtay Khuda O Ka Ta Suchi Say Muh Kay Bal Gir Perhay But Ek Teri Angrahi Say

When the false gods faced the Truth, The idols fell face-down at just your stretching.

Sansay Likhta Hai Tu Amwat Raqam Kerta Hai Loh E Mahfooz Pay Ayat Raqam Kerta Hai Aj Or Kal Ki Her Ek Bat Raqam Kerta Hai Sub Kuch Allah Ka Yeahi Hath Raqam Kerta Hai

You write the breaths, you record the deaths, You inscribe the verses upon the Preserved Tablet. You record every matter of today and tomorrow, This is the Hand of Allah that records everything.

Apnay Kaba E Ka Tujay Qibla Banaya Rab Nay Amer Say Phelay Ullal Amer Banaya Rab Nay

The Lord made you the Qibla of His own Kaaba, The Lord made you the Master (Ulil Amr) before He made the command.

Kia Qiamat Sir E Maqtal Teri Talwar Keray Bad E Sir Sir Bhi Kabhi Andaza E Raftar Keray Ek He Jasay Bara Bar Kay Sabhi War Keray Malik Ul Moat Ko Bhi Chalnay Main Lachar Keray

What a calamity your sword creates on the battlefield, Even the wind cannot fathom the speed of its movement. It strikes all as if it were a single, equal blow, It renders even the Angel of Death helpless in his movement.

Teri Shamsheer Tu Bus Apna Hadaf Deakhti Hai Moat Tahk Ker Teray Hatho Ki Teraf Deakhti Hai

Your sword looks only at its target, Even Death, exhausted, looks towards your hands.

Asma Walo Zamee Walo Main Nata Tu Hai Toor Pay Chamka Tha Jo Noor Wo Jalwa Tu Hai Jis Pay Allah Ka Goma Hai Wohi Banda Tu Hai Tarjma Jo Bhi Hai Toheed E Khuda Ka Tu Hai

You are the connection between the dwellers of the heavens and the earth, You are the manifestation of the Light that shone on Mount Sinai. You are the servant upon whom Allah prides Himself, You are the translation of whatever is the Oneness of God.

Noor Ka Dahra Soye Khak You Morhay Rakha Tu Nay Alhamd Ko Walnas Say Jorhay Rakha

You turned the stream of Light towards the earth in such a way, That you kept the 'Al-Hamd' (the beginning of Quran) connected to the 'Wal-Nas' (the end of Quran).

Such Hai Firdoos Pay Kosser Pay Ali Ka Haq Hai Saray Sahra Pay Samandar Pay Ali Ka Haq Hai Mimber E Shafia E Mahsher Pay Ali Ka Haq Hai Had Hai Yeah Kursi E Dawar Pay Ali Ka Haq Hai

It is true, Ali has the right over Paradise and the Kauthar, Ali has the right over every desert and every ocean. Ali has the right over the pulpit of intercession on the Day of Judgment, This is the limit—Ali has the right over the Throne of the Judge.

Ya Ali Jis Nay Amanat Main Khayanat Ki Hai Teray Ghasib Pay Tu Allah Nay Lanat Ki Hai

O Ali, the one who has betrayed the trust, Upon your usurper, Allah has cast His curse.

Hai Yeah Farman E Nabi Khair E Baria Tu Hai Her Zamanay Kay Liay Meer E Zamana Tu Hai Meri Umat Main Misal E Dar E Hita Tu Hai Ya Ali Sura E Ikhlas Ka Chihra Tu Hai

This is the decree of the Prophet: you are the best of creation, You are the Master of the Age for every era. You are the example of the 'Gate of Repentance' (Bab-e-Hitta) in my Ummah, O Ali, you are the face of Sura Ikhlas.

Jasay Quran Kay Suroo Ki Talawat Kerna You Ibadat Hai Teray Rukh Ki Ziarat Kerna

Just as reciting the Suras of the Quran is worship, So too is gazing upon your face an act of worship.

Teaigh Wo Teaigh Ka Hai Adal E Ilahi Jis Say Hath Wo Hath Ka Chalti Hai Khudai Jis Say Ankh Wo Ankh Kay Takta Hai Khuda Bhi Jis Say Kan Wo Kan Khuda Sun Lay Dohai Jis Say

That sword is the sword of Divine Justice, That hand is the hand of God by which the universe moves, That eye is the eye through which even God looks, That ear is the ear through which God hears the plea.

Pa Kay Angoshtari Saial Bhi Yeah Hi Kahta Hai Rab Say Mangi Hoi Khairat Tu Hi Dayta Hai

Upon receiving the ring, the beggar also says this: 'The charity asked of the Lord, You are the one who gives it.'

Lay Ga Allah Ki Janib Say Zamano Ka Hisab Roho Ka Jismo Ka Akbar Subhi Nafsoo Ka Hisab Ba E Wilaeat Jo Howay Nam Kay Sajdoo Ka Hisab Waqt Kay Rozo Kay Ba E Waqt Kay Faqoo Ka Hisab Istara Masnad E Toheed Sajaye Ga Tu Hath Allah Ki Jaga Sub Say Milay Ega Tu

You will take the account of the ages on behalf of Allah, Of the souls, the bodies, O Akbar, the account of all beings. The account of the prostrations made in the name of your Wilayat, The account of the fasts of the time, and the account of the hunger of the time. You will adorn the throne of Oneness in such a way, That in the place of Allah's hand, you will meet everyone.
