Ye Kafela Layja

Ale Nabi Ka Kafela, Jab Shaam Ko Chala. Kehne Lagi Hussain Se. Hamshir Alvidaa. Ane Lagi Ik Lashaye Be Sar Se Ye Sadaa

When the caravan of the Prophet's family set out for Shaam, The sister began to say to Hussain, 'Farewell.' From the headless body, this voice began to come:

(Maine Basayi Karbala) Tu Shaam Ko Basaa

I have established Karbala, You establish it in Shaam

Kuch Gham Na Kar Jo Raah Me Sehne Hai Sakhtiya Sajjad Mera Kafele Ka Honga Sarwan (Neze Pe Tere Saath Hi) Jayenga Sar Mera

Do not grieve for the hardships you must endure on the path, My Sajjad will be the leader of the caravan, And along with you, upon the spear, My head will go

Shiri Ka Ghar Bhi Raah Me Aayenga Ay Bahan Tujko Agar Pehchan Na Paye Wo Purmehen (Kehna Ke Pura Hogaya) Waada Ye Gham Zadaa

The house of the lion (Ali) will also come on the path, O sister, If those sorrowful ones do not recognize you, Say that the promise of this grief-stricken one Has been fulfilled

Ay Zainab Teri Raah Me Ayenga Ek Makaam Hatim Bulaayenga Wahaa Le Le Ke Sabkaa Naam (Karna Wahaa Bhi Sabr Tu) Karna Na Bad Duwaa

O Zainab, a place will come on your path, Where the host will call out, taking everyone's name, Even there, show patience, Do not utter a curse

Aysi Bhi Manzil Raah Me Ayengi Noha Ghar Uthegi Teri Simt Jo Na Paak Har Nazar (Quraan Sunayenga Wahi) Neze Pe Sar Mera

Such a destination will also come on the path, O mourner, Where impure eyes will turn towards you, There, my head on the spear Will recite the Quran

Ek Aysi Basti Ayengi Kuch Pehle Shaam Se Takseem Hongi Chaadare Rahib Ki Naam Se (Phir Chinlenge Chaadare) Aakar Wo Ashkiya

A settlement will come just before Shaam, Where veils will be distributed in the name of the monk, Then those wretched ones will come And snatch away the veils

Ay Behna Tera Raah Me Hoga Ye Haal Bhi Bache Judaa Hojayenge Jismo Se Khaal Bhi (Har Ghaam Tere Haal Pe) Rowengi Sayidaa

O sister, this will also be your state on the path, Children will be separated, and even their skin will be torn from their bodies, At every sorrow of your condition, Sayyida (Fatima) will weep

Ja Zainab Ja Abaad Kar Zindaane Shaam Ko Zainab Sulaadena Wahi Us Tishna Kaam Ko (Jiske Gohar Bhi Chingaye) Daman Bhi Hai Jalaa

Go Zainab, go and populate the prison of Shaam, Zainab, put that thirsty one to sleep, Whose pearls were snatched away, And whose hem (of the garment) is burnt

Shahzadi Meri Shaam Se Aye Jo Karbala Kartithi Apne Bhayi Ki Markad Pe Ye Buka (Zindaan Basaa Ke Aagayi) Tumne Jo Ye Kahaa

When my princess returned from Shaam to Karbala, She would wail at her brother's grave, 'I have returned after populating the prison, Just as you had told me to'
