Karbala Janey Waalon

Jane Walo Dar-e-Abbas Pe Jab Tum Jana.

Yeh Areeza Mere Maula Ko Suna Kar Aana.

Those of you who are going, when you arrive at the door of Abbas (as)…

Please deliver this plea to my Master, then return.

Sab Se Pehle Unhein Kehna Meri Janib Se Salam.

Phir Yeh Kehna Ke Tarapta Hai Watan Mein Woh Ghulam.

Kuch Nahi Lana Faqat Izn-e-Ziyarat Lana.

First of all, give him my greetings, a salutation from me.

Then tell him that his servant in his homeland is suffering [from yearning].

Don't bring anything back for me, just bring permission to visit [Karbala].

Kehna Hashim Ke Qamar Se Yeh Karein Our Karam.

Dekhney Hain Mujhe Rozon Ke Badaltay Parcham.

Iss Baras Mah-e-Azza Mujh Ko Wahin Dikhlana.

Tell the Moon of Hashim [Abbas (as)] to bestow another act of grace upon me.

I long to see the changing flags over the shrines.

This year, let me witness the month of mourning [Muharram] there [in Karbala].

Kehna Hazrat Se Wasail Ko Kushada Kar Dein.

Mera Iss Saal Zara Rizq Zyada Kar Dein.

Betiyon Beton Ko Humrah Mujhe Hai Lana.

Tell Hazrat [Abbas (as)] to broaden my means.

This year, please increase my sustenance a little.

I need to bring my daughters and sons with me.

Karbala Paison Se Jate Nahi Mujh Ko Hai Khabar.

Tum Bulatay Ho Tu Mil Jata Hai Khud Zaad-e-Safar.

Likha Ho Aana Tu Lagta Nahi Ik Bhi Aana.

I know that one does not go to Karbala merely with money.

When you call, provisions for the journey appear on their own.

If it is written for me to come, not a single penny is needed.

Chotay Hazrat Se Yeh Kehna Ke Hai Ashor Qareeb.

Yeh Bhi Kehna Ke Kya Iss Saal Bhi Tarpay Ga Ghareeb.

Khon Ka Dena Hai Waan Aa Ke Mujhe Nazrana.

Tell the Younger Hazrat [Imam Husayn (as)] that Ashura is near.

Also tell him, will this poor servant suffer [from yearning] this year too?

I want to offer a tribute of blood when I come there.

Unn Se Kehna Nahi Mangoon Ga Main Asaish-o-Chain.

Neend Jab Aaye Gi So jaon Ga Bain Al Haramain.

Kafs Ko Takiya Bana Kar Hai Mujhe So Jana.

Tell them I will not ask for comfort or peace.

When sleep comes, I will sleep between the two Holy Shrines.

I will make the ground my pillow and fall asleep.

Arbaeen Ki Jo Bananey Lagin Fehrist Aaqa.

Naam Mera Bhi Sakina Ke Tasadduq Likhna.

Mujh Ko Bhi Karbala Paidal Hai Najaf Se Jana.

O Master, when you begin to make the list for Arbaeen…

Please write my name too, for the sake of Sakina (as).

I too want to walk to Karbala from Najaf.

Main Agar Sham Gaya Pehle Tu Bolon Ga Yehi.

Aap Ke Ammo Ne Bhaija Hai Sakina Pani.

Tum Abalfazl Ke Sardab Ka Pani Lana.

If I go to Shaam [Damascus] first, I will say this:

"Sakina (as), your uncle has sent water for you!"

"Bring the water from Abul Fazl's [Abbas's (as)] cellar!"

Kaisay Zindah Rahi Bin Aap Ke Asghar Ki Behan.

Mar Gayi Par Na Khuli Bachi Ki Gardan Se Rasan.

Pursa Masoom Sakina Ka Hai Deney Aana.

How did Asghar's (as) sister [Sakina (as)] survive without you?

She died, but the rope around the child's neck was never loosened.

We must come to offer condolences for innocent Sakina (as).
