Aap Ke Baad Mujhe Shimar Ne Maara Baba
Keeping screen awake…
aap ke baad mujhe shimar ne maara baba
After you were gone, Shimr beat me, oh Father!
choor zakhmo se huwi teri sakina baba
Your Sakina (as) is covered in wounds, oh Father!
aap ke baad mujhe shimar ne maara baba
After you were gone, Shimr beat me, oh Father!
mujko iss jurm pe zaalim ne tamache maare
mei ne bas apka sar shimar se maanga baba
For this crime, the oppressor slapped me repeatedly!
My only crime was asking Shimr for your head, oh Father!
aap ke baad mujhe shimar ne maara baba
After you were gone, Shimr beat me, oh Father!
kaise iss khaak ke bistar pe mujhe neendh aaye
maa ki aghosh hay na aap ka seena baba
How can sleep ever come to me on this bed of dust?
I have neither my mother's embrace, nor your chest [to rest on], oh Father!
aap ke baad mujhe shimar ne maara baba
After you were gone, Shimr beat me, oh Father!
itni beh rehmi se durr mere layi ne cheene
jaise daadi se fidak logo ne cheena baba
With such cruelty, my earrings were snatched from me!
Just as people snatched Fidak from my grandmother Fatima (as), oh Father!
aap ke baad mujhe shimar ne maara baba
After you were gone, Shimr beat me, oh Father!
moo ke bal dorr te naake se girri thi jab mei
shimr ne baalo se tab mujhko uthaya baba
When I fell from the camel, face down, as it rushed along…
Shimr then picked me up by my hair, oh Father!
