Zindan Khul Gaya Hai Sakina Watan Chalo

Zindan Khul Gaya Hai Sakina Watan Chalo

Rajab Ali Khan · 2022

Imam Sajjad visits the small grave of his sister Sakina in the prison of Shaam to tell her it is time to leave for home. He mourns that he must leave her behind in the cold earth.

Zindan Khul Gaya Hai Sakina Watan Chalo, Sajjad Keh Ke Gir Pade Choti Si Qabr Par..

The prison has opened, Sakina, let us go home, Sajjad said this and collapsed upon the small grave..

Mazloom Aise Gir Pada Turbat Pe Behan Ki, Jaisa Hussain The Gire Akbar Ki Lash Par..

The oppressed one fell upon his sister's grave, just as Hussain had fallen upon Akbar's corpse..

Dekho Nahi Rahi Mere Hathoon Mein Ab Rasan, Jane Laga Hai Qafila Ab Laut Kar Watan, Lekin Tu Behan Shaam Mein Qaidi Hi Reh Gayi, Kha Kar Tamachay So Gayi Zindaan Ki Khak Par..

Look, the ropes are no longer on my hands, the caravan is now departing to return home, but you, sister, remained a prisoner in Sham, having endured slaps, you fell asleep on the dust of the prison..

Karta Hoon Yaad Ro Ke Main Manzar Woh Dard Ka, Kano Ke Zakhm Par Jo Tamacha Tujhe Laga, Baba Ko Tu Sina Pe Sada Deti Reh Gayi, Baba Sina Pe Rotay They Tab Tujh Ko Dekh Kar..

I weep as I recall that painful scene, the slap that struck you upon your wounded ear, you kept calling out to Father while on the spear, Father would weep on the spear when he saw you..

Amma Ki Tarha Tujh Ko Na Mil Payi Thi Rida, Baba Ki Tarha Tujh Ko Kafan Bhi Na Mil Saka, Pathar Bhi Khaye Shaam Mein Tu Ne Meri Tarha, Naqay Se Gir Ke Ho Gayi Teri Bhi Khum Qamar..

Like Mother, you could not find a veil, like Father, you could not even find a shroud, you too endured stones in Sham just like me, having fallen from the camel, your back too became bent..

Main Le Ke Tujh Ko Shaam Se Wapis Na Ja Saka, Baba Ko Kya Bataon Main Ab Ja Ke Karbala, Kurtay Mein Dafn Ke Kar Banai Teri Lehad, Abid Ko Khoon Rulaye Ga Yeh Dard Umr Bhar..

I could not take you back with me from Sham, what shall I tell Father when I go to Karbala? I made your grave by burying you in my shirt, this pain will make Abid weep tears of blood for a lifetime..

Karbal Mein Chhin Gayi Thi Tere Sar Se Jo Rida, Wapas Main La Chuka Hoon Usay Dekh Tu Zara, Sar Par Main Tere Rakhta Rida Apne Hath Se, Afsos Haye Shaam Mein Tu Na Rahi Magar..

The veil that was snatched from your head in Karbala, I have brought it back, look at it, I would have placed the veil on your head with my own hands, but alas, you were no longer in Sham..

Amma Ke Bain Sun Ke Nikalti Hai Jaan Meri, Kehti Hai Umr Bhar Na Woh Saye Mein Jaye Gi, Kaise Uthaon Ujadi Hoi Maa Ko Tu Bata, Teri Lehad Se Maa Ki Bhi Hatti Nahi Nazar..

My soul departs hearing Mother's lamentations, she says she will never go into the shade for the rest of her life, tell me, how do I lift up this devastated mother? Mother's gaze does not shift from your grave..

Woh Rukhsat E Hussain Pe Zainab Ka Imtehaan, Aisa He Aaj Phir Se Hai Zindan Ka Samaa, Sajjad Ho Rahe Hai Juda Aise Behen Se, Uthte Hai Ro Ke Qabr Se Girte Hai Qabr Par..

That trial of Zainab at the departure of Hussain, the scene in the prison today is just the same, Sajjad is separating from his sister in such a way, he rises weeping from the grave and falls back upon the grave..

Likhoo Shahab Kis Tarha Mehshar Ka Marhala, Tha Gham Ki Inteha Pe Bhi Abid Ka Hosla, Zinda Behan Ki Qabr Se Uth Kar Chale Gaya, Ahwal E Gham Sunanay Ko Baba Ki Qabr Par..

How should I write, Shahab, of the stage of Judgment Day? Even at the height of grief, Abid's courage remained, he rose from his sister's grave and departed, to narrate the tale of sorrow at Father's grave..
