Zalim Abhi Khanjar Na Chala

Zalim Abhi Khanjar Na Chala

Sachey Bhai · 2010

Bibi Zainab watches from the tent door as her brother, Imam Hussain, lies in the desert. She begs the enemy to stop and wait before harming him.

Abhi Khanjar Na Chala Abhi Khanjar Na Chala Zaalim Abhi Khajar Na Chala

Do not strike with the dagger yet, do not strike with the dagger yet, O tyrant, do not strike with the dagger yet.

Jab Giray Ghode Se Maqtal Mein Shahe Karbobala

When the King of Karbala fell from his horse onto the battlefield,

Khanjare Zulm Liye Shimre Sitamgaar Badha Di Tadap Kar Dar E Qaime Se Ye Zainab Ne Sada

Shimr, the oppressor, advanced with the dagger of cruelty in hand, And from the door of the tent, Zainab cried out in agony:

Loot Mat Behre Khuda Fatima Zehra Ka Chayn Aur Kuch Dayr Teher Ja Arey Zaalim Ke Hussain Bakshishe Ummate Jad Ki Abhi Karte Hai Dua

For the sake of God, do not plunder the peace of Fatima Zehra, Wait a little longer, O tyrant, for Hussain, He is still praying for the salvation of his grandfather's Ummah.

Teen Din Hogaye Pyasa Hai Nabi Ka Jaani Zibha Karna Hai To Do Ghoont Pilade Pani Kund Khanjar Hai Mere Bhai Ka Sookha Hai Gala

It has been three days that the beloved of the Prophet has been thirsty, If you must slaughter him, then give him two sips of water first, The dagger is blunt, and my brother's throat is parched.

Bosagaahe Nabawi Hai Ye Gala Ay Zaalim Sheh Ragay Deen Pe Khanjar Na Chala Ay Zaalim Choomte Thay Isi Halqoom Ko Mahboob E Khuda

This throat is the place the Prophet used to kiss, O tyrant, Do not strike the dagger upon the jugular vein of the Faith, O tyrant, The Beloved of God used to kiss this very throat.

Chod Kar Khuld Zara Faatahe Khyber Aa Le Aur Kuch Dayr Teher Ja Ke Payambar Aa Le Aati Hi Hogi Wo Aa Lene De Amma Ko Zara

Let the Conqueror of Khyber (Ali) come from Paradise for a moment, Wait a little longer, let the Prophet come, She must be arriving soon, let Mother (Fatima) come to take him.

Kya Karoo Ja'un Kahan Kis Ko Pukarun Bhai Kaise Dekhegi Tumhe Todte Dam Majaayi Ya Ilaahi Mujhe Shabbir Se Pehle Le Utha

What should I do, where should I go, whom should I call, O brother? How will your sister watch you breathe your last? O God, take me away before Shabbir.

Haye Kis Dil Se Karoo Tazkira E Jor O Jafa Kat Gaya Saamne Zainab Ke Shahe Deen Ka Gala Cheekhti Reh Gayi Zainab Sare Maqtal Ba Khuda

Alas, with what heart can I recount this oppression and cruelty? The throat of the King of Faith was severed before Zainab's eyes, And by God, Zainab remained screaming across the battlefield.
