Mazloom e Karbala ki Azadar Aa Gai

Syed Zameer Ul Hassan Tanveer Shah (marhoom)

Added 2026-06-22 by H

mazloom e karbala (as) ki azadar aa gai

The mourner for the oppressed one of Karbala, Husayn (as), has arrived!

mazloom e karbala (as) ki azadar aa gai

zainab (sa) barehna sar jo bazaar aa gai

The mourner for the oppressed one of Karbala, Husayn (as), has arrived!

As Zaynab (as) entered the marketplace, her head uncovered!

talwar kay bagair larungi main aesi jang

khutbay parhungi aesay kay dushman bhi hongain tang

daikho hussain (as) tum bhi hamaray jihad ko

zainab (sa) hai aj ban kay alamdar aa gai

Without a sword, I will fight such a battle!

I will deliver such sermons that even the enemies will be distressed!

Look, Husayn (as), you too, at my holy struggle!

Today, Zaynab (as) has arrived, becoming the flag-bearer!

mazloom e karbala (as) ki azadar aa gai

The mourner for the oppressed one of Karbala, Husayn (as), has arrived!

zainab (sa) nay zindagi main na daikhi koi kushi

roti huwi woh sham ki rahon main mar gai

tanha lahad main bhai ko rone kay waste

sarkar panjetan ki woh ghamkhaar aa gai

Zaynab (as) never saw any joy in her life…

Weeping, she passed away on the roads of Shaam [Damascus].

To mourn her brother [Husayn (as)] alone in her grave…

She has come as the sorrowful supporter of the Master of the Panjetan [Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), Ali (as), Fatima (as), Hassan (as), and Husayn (as)]!

mazloom e karbala (as) ki azadar aa gai

The mourner for the oppressed one of Karbala, Husayn (as), has arrived!

jis dum utha yeh shor kay pyase ko mar lo

jaldi karo nabi (saw) kay nawasay ko mar lo

sun kar yeh shor dhundti tanha hussain ko

maqtal main bint e haider e karar (as) aa gai

The moment that cry rose up, "Kill the thirsty one!"

"Hurry, kill the grandson of the Prophet (pbuh)!"

Hearing this uproar, searching for Husayn (as) all alone…

The daughter of Hayder-e-Karrar (Ali (as)) arrived in the battlefield!

mazloom e karbala (as) ki azadar aa gai

The mourner for the oppressed one of Karbala, Husayn (as), has arrived!

chehlum ko karbala main jo pohancha tha qafla

zainab (sa) nay keh kay nakai say khud ko giraya tha

badle chuka kay baba kay saray mairay hussain (as)

chehlum mananay apki zawaar aa gai

When the caravan arrived in Karbala for Chehlum [the fortieth day of mourning]…

Zaynab (as) had thrown herself off her camel, crying out!

"My Husayn (as), I have settled all the scores for our father (Ali (as))!

"Your pilgrim has returned to observe the Chehlum [fortieth day of mourning]!"

mazloom e karbala (as) ki azadar aa gai

The mourner for the oppressed one of Karbala, Husayn (as), has arrived!

mehshar kay roz ayegi jab naib e batool

tanweer yeh kahain gay khuda say mairay rasool

zinda rakhai hain jis nay irade hussain (as) kay

ya rab woh mairay dee’n ki madadgaar aa gai

On the Day of Judgment, when the representative of Batool [Fatima (as)] arrives…

Tanveer, my Prophet (pbuh) will say this to God:

"The one who kept Husayn's (as) intentions alive,"

"Oh Lord, that helper of my faith has arrived!"
