Shabbir Ko Sajde Mein Zibha Kisne Kiya Hai

Lahore Party

The poet keeps asking one question: who could do such things? Who killed Hussain as he bowed in prayer, burned the tents, tore the veils from the ladies, and put an arrow through the thirsty infant's throat? He demands that those who forbid mourning answer for these crimes.

Shabbir Ko Sajde Mein Zibha Kisne Kiya Hai Mazloom Ke Matam Se Humein Rokne Waalon Ghar Fatima Zahra Ka Taba Kisne Kiya Hai

Who slaughtered Shabbir while he lay in prostration? O you who forbid us to mourn the oppressed one, who was it that burnt to ash the home of Fatima Zahra?

Khaimein Bhi Jalaye Toh Ridaen Bhi Utaari Syadaaniyan Sar Nange Kharhi Roti Thi Saari Hindu They Yahoodi They Isaayee Ya Koi Aur Itna Toh Bata Doh Yeh Gunna Kisne Kiya Hai

They burnt the tents and they tore away the veils; the sayyidas all stood bareheaded, weeping. Were they Hindus, Jews, Christians, or some others? At least tell me this: who committed this sin?

Besheer Ke Hal Qoon Pe Jab Teer Laga Tha Aur Pyaas Se Masoom Ka Haye Khushk Gala Tha Asghar Ne Zubaan Hoton Pe Jab Pheri Thi Logon Tab Khoon Se Tar Khushk Gala Kisne Kiya Hai

Zanjeeron Mein Jakrha Hua Sajjad Muhaari Aur Shimr Ke Zulmon Se Darri Bibiyan Saari Jis Bibi Ka Suraj Bhi Haya Karta Tha Chup Kar Uss Bibi Ke Sar Ko Be Rida Kisne Kiya Hai

Our Sajjad was bound fast in chains, and all the ladies trembled at the cruelties of Shimr. The lady before whom even the sun would hide in modesty, who was it that left her head without a veil?

Barchi Ne Joh Cheera Ali Akbar Ke Jigar Ko Haye Kaise Uthaya Mere Maula Ne Pisar Ko Laila Ka Pisar Lagta Tha Tasveer Nabi Ki Sarkar-e-Risalat Ka Haya Kisne Kiya Hai

When the spear tore through the heart of Ali Akbar, alas, how did my Master lift up his son? The son of Laila was the very image of the Prophet; who was it that violated the honour of the Messenger's house?

Abbas Wafadaar Ke Parcham Ki Nishaani Yaad Aaye Issey Dekh Ke Karbal Ki Kahaani Joh Haath They Zahra Ki Duaon Ka Nateeja Un Haathon Ko Shaano Se Juda Kisne Kiya Hai

The mark of the standard of faithful Abbas, seeing it, the whole tale of Karbala is brought to mind. The hands that were the fruit of Zahra's prayers, who was it that severed those hands from his shoulders?

Akhtar Ko Yeh Ek Masla Sabhi Mil Na Bataen Kiss Jurm Mein Looti Gayi Karbal Mein Ridaen Darbar Mein Khutba Joh Parha Binte Ali Ne Azaanon Se Phir Shor Bapa Kisne Kiya Hai

Let all of you together resolve this one riddle for Akhtar: for what crime were the veils plundered in Karbala? The sermon that the daughter of Ali delivered in the court, who was it that raised the clamour of the call to prayer through it once more?
