Hal Min Nasirin Yansurna
Added 2026-06-21
hal min nasirin yansurna
aati hai karbal se ye sada
hal min nasirin yansurna
"Is there any helper to help us?!"
This call echoes from Karbala…
"Is there any helper to help us?!"
auno mohammed paas nahi hai, qasim ka lasha hai tukre
bazu kata ke mera ghazi, sogaya hai dariya ke kinare
ghurbat mei thi sheh ki sada
Aun (as) and Muhammad (as) are no longer here; Qasim's (as) body lies in pieces!
My brave Abbas (as), his arms severed, rests by the riverbank…
In this desolate state, Husayn (as) cried out…
hal min nasirin yansurna
"Is there any helper to help us?!"
dekho zaeefi ran mei sheh ki, baap hai burha beta jawaa hai
laasha-e-akbar kaise uthaaye, kitna kathan ye imtihaa hai
kandhe pe rakh ke sheh ne kaha
Look at Husayn's (as) weakness on the battlefield: the father is old, his son is young!
How can he lift Akbar's (as) body?! What an arduous trial this is!
Placing [the body] on his shoulders, Husayn (as) cried…
hal min nasirin yansurna!
"Is there any helper to help us!"
umm-e-rabaab ke ab khayme mei, sheh ne dekha shor bapa hai
khud ko giraake jhule se wo, gutniyo pe ab chalne laga hai
asghar ne jab sunli sada
Now, in the tent of Umm-e-Rabab (as), Husayn (as) saw a commotion!
He had thrown himself from his cradle, and now began to crawl on his knees!
When Ali Asghar (as) heard that call…
hal min nasirin yansurna
"Is there any helper to help us?!"
haath mei asghar ka laasha hai, par nahi hai taqat paawo mei
kaise dikhaaye laash ye maa ko, paala tha wo jisne chaawo mei
aage barhe dekar ye sada
In his hands, the body of Ali Asghar (as), but no strength in his legs!
How could he show this body to the mother who had nurtured him with such love and care?!
He stepped forward, crying out this plea…
hal min nasirin yansurna
"Is there any helper to help us?!"
jhalti zamee par shaah pare hai, shimr sawaar hai ab sine par
sukhi zabaa hai garm hawa hai, garden pe chalta hai khanjar
ik ik zarb pe sheh ne kaha
On the burning earth, Husayn (as) lies fallen, while Shimr now sits upon his chest!
His tongue is dry, the wind is hot; a dagger is moving on his neck!
With every strike, Husayn (as) cried out…
hal min nasirin yansurna
"Is there any helper to help us!"
khayme jhalaaye ghar ko lutaaye, cheeni hai sab zalim ne chadar
jaaye kahaan ghayrat ke maare, sehme khare hai aal-e-payambar
kehti hai zainab beparda, hal min nasirin yansurna
The tents are burned, the household looted; the oppressor has stolen every veil!
Where can they go, those struck by dishonor?! The family of the Prophet (pbuh) stands trembling!
Zaynab (as), unveiled, cries out, "Is there any helper to help us?!"
hal min nasirin yansurna
aati hai karbal se ye sada
hal min nasirin yansurna
"Is there any helper to help us?!"
This call echoes from Karbala…
"Is there any helper to help us?!"
