Ye Ghazi Alamdar Ki Jagir He Logo

Ye Ghazi Alamdar Ki Jagir He Logo

Irfan Haider

The caravan returns to Karbala to mourn the martyrs. They declare this land belongs to the loyal standard bearer Abbas.

NohaArbaeen

Ye Ghazi Alamdar Jab Karwaan Karbobala Lot Ke Ayaa. Kulsum Ne Mehmil Ke Jo Parde Ko Hataaya. (Dil Thaam Ke Ye Kafle Waalo Ko Bataayaa)

This is the Ghazi Alamdar's domain. When the caravan returned from Karbala, Kulsum pulled back the curtain of the litter. (Holding her heart, she told the people of the caravan:)

Ye Ghazi Alamdar Ki Jagir He Logo

O people, this is the domain of Ghazi Alamdar.

Farshe Aza Shabbir Ke Matam Ka Bichaawo

Spread the mourning carpet for the lamentation of Shabbir.

Jis Sher Ke Shano Pe Hame Naaz Tha Har Dam. Bacho Ke Liye Aas Tha Jis Sher Ka Parcham (Parcham Mere Abbas Ka Is Ban Me Sajawo)

The lion on whose shoulders we always took pride, who was the hope for the children—the lion whose banner (adorn this desert with the banner of my Abbas).

Awaaz Dekar Dashte Mein Baba Ko Bulawo. Bhabhi Kaha Ho Matame Akbar Kare Awo (Majlis Ke Liye Fatima Zehra Ko Sadaa Do)

Call out into the desert to summon the father. Ask, 'Sister-in-law, where are you? Come, let us mourn Akbar.' (Call upon Fatima Zahra for the gathering.)

Un Bekaso Pe Rona Jinhe Pyaas Ne Mara. Wo Aun-O-Muhammad Bhi Hai Shabbir Pe Wara (Un Bekaso Ki Pyaas Bhi Ashko Se Bujaado)

Weep for those helpless ones whom thirst killed. Even Aun and Muhammad were sacrificed for Shabbir. (Quench the thirst of those helpless ones with your tears.)

Hai Sab Hi Shahadat Se Dhani Haq Ke Musafir. Wo Awsaja Wo John O Habib Ibn Mazahir (Chehlum Har Ik Mazloom Ka Karbal Me Manawo)

All the travelers of Truth are wealthy with martyrdom. Those like Awsaja, John, and Habib ibn Mazahir. (Observe the Chehlum of every oppressed one in Karbala.)

Wo Saamne Dekho To Hai Behta Huwa Darya. Lekin Labe Darya Nahi Ab Foj Ka Pehra (Jee Khol Ke Ab Pani Piyo Sab Ko Pilawo)

Look ahead, there is the flowing river. But now, there is no army guarding the riverbank. (Now drink water to your heart's content and give it to everyone.)

Ham Aagaye Zindaan Se Magar Qayd Hai Dukhtar. Ammu Ko Bulati Rahi Din Rat Jo Ro Kar (Zindaan Se Masoom Sakina Ko Bulawo)

We have returned from the prison, but the daughter remains captive. She who kept calling for her uncle day and night, weeping. (Bring the innocent Sakina back from the prison.)

Sab Aurte Bazaare Jafaa Me Rahi Purgham. Bechadere Ke Karb Se Karti Rahi Matam (Behaal Hai Sab Unse Kaho Sar Ko Chupaawo)

All the women remained grief-stricken in the bazaar of tyranny. They kept mourning in the agony of being unveiled. (They are in a distressed state; tell them to cover their heads.)

Hai Dhoop Ke Maidan Me Mere Be Zubaan Asghar. Saye Me Nahi Jaa Saki Is Dard Se Madar (Ik Sayeba Ab Turbate Asghar Pe Banawo)

My speechless Asghar is in the sun-scorched field. Because of this pain, his mother could not even go into the shade. (Now build a canopy over Asghar's grave.)

Farwa Kahaa Hai Unse Kaho Aaj To Paiham. Jee Bharke Karo Qasime Dilgir Ka Matam (Ik Raat Ke Noshaah Ki Dulhan Ko Bataa Do)

Where is Farwa? Tell her to mourn incessantly today. Mourn the sorrowful Qasim to your heart's content. (Inform the bride of the one-night bridegroom.)

Sar Pite Ke Rote Hai Sare Markade Shabbir. Sajjad Hai Noha Kuna Or Zainabe Dilgir (Dil Khol Ke Rone Do Inhe Chup Na Karawo)

They are all beating their heads and weeping at the shrine of Shabbir. Sajjad is reciting the elegy, and the sorrowful Zainab is there. (Let them weep freely; do not silence them.)
