Beta Hai Tu Ali Ka

haey, sarwar ki laadli ka ik tu hi tha sahara
paani kisi say us ney maanga nahi dobara
haey jab koi marta tha rukhsaar per tamachay
baba say bhi ziyada us ney tujhe pukara
abbas...
Oh, you were the only support for Husayn's (as) beloved daughter [Sakina (as)]!
She never asked anyone for water again!
Oh, when someone would strike her cheeks…
She called out to you even more than to her Father...
Abbas (as)!
khanjar galay pe jis dam bhai ke chal raha tha.
sattar kadam se manzar zainab ne khud ye dekha.
haaye jab shimr maarta tha gardan pe sheh ke khanjar.
har zarb par tadap kar kehti thi bint-e-zehra
abbas...
At the moment the dagger was cutting across her brother's throat…
From seventy paces away, Zaynab (as) herself witnessed that sight!
Oh, as Shimr struck the dagger onto the neck of Husayn (as)…
With every blow, the daughter of Fatima (as), Zaynab (as), cried out in agony!
Abbas (as)!
taqdeer ke sataaye tere dar pe sar jhukaae’n.
ashkoa’n ki iltija hum ghazi tujhay sunaae’n.
bemaar saaribaa’n ke zakhmoa’n ka waasta hai
jitnay bhi khasta dil hain mola shifa wo paae’n
abbas...
May those tormented by fate bow their heads at your door!
We present our tearful pleas to you!
For the sake of the wounds of the ailing leader of the caravan, Imam Sajjad (as)…
May all who are broken-hearted find healing, oh Abbas (as)!
Abbas (as)!
