Ye Azakhana e Hussain Hai
Irfan Haider
This poem describes the sacred nature of an Azakhana where the Ahlul Bayt are believed to be present. It invites believers to keep these places of mourning alive and filled with remembrance.
(Aye Azadaron Suno) X Aye Naunihaalon Suno (Aye Pursadaron Suno) X Hussain Ya Hussain X Hussain Ya Hussain X
(Listen, O mourners) X Listen, O young ones (Listen, O those who offer condolences) X Hussain, O Hussain X Hussain, O Hussain X
Kuch Log Deen E Haq Ko Bachane Ke Waaste Beghar Hue Kuch Aise Ke Har Ghar Me Aa Gaye (Ghar Azakhana Ban Gaya) X Ghar Me Zehra Ke Jab Qadam Aaye Shahe Yasrab Shahe Umam Aye Pursa Lene Ko Agaye Haidar Unke Baccho'n Ke Jab Alam Aye (Farsh Majlis Ka Jab Bichaya Gaya) X Dil Ne Be Sakhta Kiya Noha
Some people, to save the true faith, Became homeless in such a way that they entered every home. (The house became a place of mourning) X When the footsteps of Zehra arrived in the house, The King of Yathrib, the King of the Nations arrived. Haidar came to offer condolences, When the standards of her children arrived. (When the carpet for the gathering was laid out) X The heart spontaneously began to lament.
(Yeh Azakhana E Hussain Hain)
(This is the house of mourning for Hussain)
Dil Me Shohrat Hunar Wafadari Zeenat E Ishq Ki Hain Taiyari Ahle Matam Hi Bas Yeh Khwahish Hain Khana E Haq Me Ho Azadari (Nazr E Maula Ka Ehtemam Bhi Ho) X Hamiyan E Khuda Kare Noha
In the heart lies the fame of the art of loyalty, This is the preparation for the adornment of love. The only desire of the mourners is, That there be Azadari in the House of God. (May there also be arrangements for the offerings of the Master) X May the supporters of God offer lamentations.
Ek Alam Bawafa Ka Sajta Hain Is Alam Par Khuda Ka Saya Hain Hoke Be Dast Woh Sakhi Ab Tak Sari Duniya Ki Jholi Bharta Hain (Aur Duniya Ko Yeh Batata Hain) X Mujhse Milna Ho Toh Yahi Ana
A standard of the loyal one is adorned, Upon this standard is the shadow of God. Having become armless, that generous one still, Fills the laps of the entire world. (And tells the world this) X If you wish to meet me, come here.
Khali Aagosh Wali Maa Behnen Woh Jo Aulaad Ko Tarasti Hain Unko Aulaad Bhi Ataa Hogi Aake Mannat Agar Yaha Maane (Ek Jhoola Yaha Hain Asghar Ka )X Woh Ataa Karke Yeh Bata Dega
Mothers and sisters with empty laps, Those who yearn for children, They too will be blessed with children, If they come and make a vow here. (There is a cradle of Asghar here) X By granting [your wish], he will show you.
Shab Ki Tanhai Me Suno Aksar Ek Bibi Yaha Hain Nauhagar Apne Beta Ka Pursa Lene Ko Khud Baqaiya Se Aayi Hain Maadar (Rone Waalon Se Roke Kehti Hain)x Isko Aabaad Hi Sada Rakhna
In the solitude of the night, listen often, A Lady is here lamenting. To offer condolences for her son, The Mother herself has come from Baqi. (She says to the mourners, while weeping) X Keep this [place] forever inhabited.
Qaid Khane Me Pehli Majlis Ka Aao Ehwaal Suno Ahl E Aza Marsiya Khwaan Bibiyaa'n Saari Zakera Unme Saniye Zahra (Matami Qaidiyo'n Ke Halqe Me )X Noha Padte The Roke Zainul Iba
Of the first gathering in the prison, Come, O mourners, listen to the account. All the ladies were reciting elegies, And among them, the second Zehra (Zainab) was the speaker. (In the circle of the mourning captives) X Zainul Ibad (Imam Sajjad) would recite the lament while weeping.
Hain Gham E Karbala Mere Dil Me Hain Gham E Berida Mere Dil Me Zakhm E Zainul Iba Mere Dil Me Dard E Mushkil Kusha Mere Dil Me (Qabr E Shah E Huda Mere Dil Me)x Ab Mere Dil Ko Bhi Kahe Duniya
The grief of Karbala is in my heart, The grief of the unveiled is in my heart. The wounds of Zainul Ibad are in my heart, The pain of the Remover of Difficulties is in my heart. (The grave of the King of Guidance is in my heart) X Now let the world call my heart [a place of mourning too].
Baat Mushkil Hai Yeh Khuda Ki Qasam Kya Likhe Mazhar Abidi Ka Kalaam Maa Ki Aagosh Me Suna Noha Maa Ki Aagosh Me Kiya Matam (Aur Irfan Jab Alam Dekhe) Maine Rote Hue Padha Noha
This is a difficult matter, I swear by God, What can Mazhar Abidi's words write? I heard the lament in the mother's lap, I mourned in the mother's lap. (And when Irfan saw the standard) I recited the lament while weeping.
