Zainab Si Behan Hai
Syed Raza Abbas Zaidi
This poem reflects on the unbreakable bond between Bibi Zainab and her brother Hazrat Abbas during the tragedy of Karbala. It honors their shared strength and the immense sorrow they endured together.
Mehsoos Kare Koi To, Dil Kaap Uthega Sailaab E Ghamo Dard Hai, Roke Na Rukega Khud Kaatib E Taqdeer Basad Dard Likhega Maqtal Ki Zamee'n Roegi, Zindaan Kahega
If anyone feels this, their heart will tremble It is a flood of grief and pain, it will not be stopped The writer of destiny himself will write with great pain The earth of the battlefield will weep, the prison will speak.
Pardes Hai Ghurbat Hai, (Barabar Ki Thakan Hai) Abbas Sa Bhai Hai To, (Zainab Si Bahan Hai)
It is a foreign land, it is exile, (there is equal exhaustion) If there is a brother like Abbas, then (there is a sister like Zainab).
Ek Saniye Zehra Hai, To Ek Saniye Haider Shabbir Ka Ek Bhai Hai, (Aur Ek Hai Khwahar) Hai Boodhe Ali Bhai , (Bahan Rashke Chaman Hai)
One is the second Zahra, the other is the second Haider One is Shabbir's brother, (and the other is his sister) He is the brother of the aged Ali, (the sister is the envy of the garden).
Ek Zamine Chadar Hai, Sabhi Ehle Haram Ka Aur Ek Ki Rida Dhoop Mein, (Saaya Hai Alam Ka) Ek Dharas E Shabbir Hai, (Ek Qalb E Hasan Hai)
One is the earth that is the veil for all the women of the household And the other's veil is in the sun, (the shadow of the standard) One is the solace of Shabbir, (the other is the heart of Hasan).
Dono Ne Wafao'n Ka, Bharam Aise Rakha Hai Ye Hukm Ka Paband Wo, (Paband E Haya Hai) Ek Tashna E Paykar Hai, (Ek Tashna Dahan Hai)
Both have kept the honor of loyalty in such a way He is bound by command, (she is bound by modesty) One is thirsty in body, (the other is thirsty of lips).
Dono Hi Alamdaar E Wafa Hai Sare Maidaa'n Ye Asr Se Pehle Wo, (Pase Shaame Ghareeba'n) Kaapa Huwa Sehma Hua, (Dono Se Hi Rann Hai)
Both are standard-bearers of loyalty on the battlefield He before Asr, she (after the evening of the strangers) Trembling and fearful, (the battlefield is because of both).
Ek Majlis O Matam Ki, Bena Daalne Wali Ek Baad E Shahadat Bhi Hai, (Maidaan Ka Ghaazi) Ek Hai Bani Hashim Ka Qamar, (Ek Kiran Hai)
One is the founder of the gathering and mourning The other, even after martyrdom, is (the warrior of the battlefield) One is the moon of Bani Hashim, (the other is a ray of light).
Bazu The Bandhe Sar Tha, Khula Jab Ke Behan Ka Be Bazu Alamdaar Tha, (Mohtaj Kafan Ka) Dono Ke Kalejo Me, (Musalsal Ye Chubhan Hai)
Her arms were tied, while the sister's head was uncovered The standard-bearer was without arms, (needing a shroud) In the hearts of both, (is this constant piercing pain).
Wo Barsare Naiza Tha, Ye Kaa'nto Pe Rawa Thi Sar Uska Gira Naize Se, (Ye Mehwe Fugha Thi) Ye Khoon Ki Taseer Hai, (Rishto Ki Lagan Hai)
He was atop the spear, she was walking on thorns His head fell from the spear, (she was lost in lamentation) This is the effect of the blood, (the devotion of relationships).
Abbas Ki Ik Aankh Mein Jab Teer Chubha Tha Dil Thaam Ke Zainab Ne, (Basad Dard Kaha Tha) Majboor Hu Bhaiyya Mere, (Haatho'n Me Rasan Hai)
When the arrow pierced one of Abbas's eyes Holding her heart, Zainab (said with great pain) "I am helpless, my brother, (my hands are in ropes)."
Rehan O Raza Zainab O Ghaazi Ki Dua Hai Wallah Ye Shehzaadi, (Sakina Ki Ataa Hai) Is Nauhe Me Taaeed E (Shehenshahe Zaman Hai)
Rehan and Raza, this is the prayer of Zainab and the Ghazi By God, this princess (is the gift of Sakina) In this Noha is the support (of the King of the Time).
