Nazar se dekh aayega nazar husayn ek hain

added by A

Keeping screen awake…

nazar se dekh aayega, nazar hussain aik hai, mera hussain aik hai

sada khula hai jis ka dar, woh dar hussain aik hai.

When you truly see with understanding, you'll find that Husayn (as) is one of a kind; my Husayn (as) is truly unique!

The door that is always open, that door of Husayn (as) is truly unique.

muhammad in mein chaar hain, ali bhi in mein chaar hain

hassan bhi in mein do banay jo deen ka waqar hai

yeh baar baar sab bane, magar hussain aik hai, mera hussain aik hai

Among them [the Imams] are four named Muhammad, and there are also four named Ali

And there are two Hassans among them, who are the dignity of our faith.

All of these names were repeated again and again, but Husayn (as) is one of a kind! My Husayn (as) is unique!

bazaar mai binte-ali deti thi sadaa bhai abbas kahaan ho

sar par bhi nahi chaadar x 2 laakhon hai tamashaai

abbas kahaan ho

In the marketplace, the daughter of Ali, Zaynab (as), was crying out, "My brother Abbas (as), where are you?"

There's not even a veil on my head… and millions are watching this spectacle

Abbas (as), where are you?

is aalam-e-ghurbat mai koi bhi nahi meraa,

hai khaake safar sar par aur haath rasan bastaa,

pardes mai zainab ko taqdeer kahaan laayi

abbas kahaan ho

In this state of utter helplessness, I have no one left by my side

The dust of this journey covers my head, and my hands are bound by ropes.

To what foreign land has destiny brought Zaynab (as)

Abbas (as), where are you?

paivast hai neze mai sar shaahe shahidaan ka,

yeh dekh ke ai ghaazi phat-taa hai mera sina,

marjaaegi is gham mai, shabbir ki majaayee

abbas kahaan ho

The head of the King of Martyrs Husayn (as), is fixed upon a spear;

Seeing this, oh my warrior Abbas (as), my chest feels as if it will burst!

Husayn's sister will surely die from this grief!

Abbas (as), where are you?

dariyaa ke kanaare tum aadaa se gaye larne,

sab dekh rahi thi mai darvaaza-e-khaima se,

ab jung hamaari bhi dekho to zaraa bhai

abbas kahaan ho

You went to fight the enemies on the bank of the river

I was watching everything unfold from the door of my tent.

Now, just look at our battle too, my brother!

Abbas (as), where are you?

duniyo ka sahara hai baba jo hamaraa hai,

mushkil mai magar maine tumko hi pukaara hai,

ab dhundhti hai tumko bhayya meri binaai

abbas kahaan ho

Our father Husayn (as) is the one in whom the world seeks refuge

But in this hardship, I have only called out to you, Abbas!

Now, brother, my sight searches desperately for you...

Abbas (as), where are you?

be munis-o-yawar hai batlaawo kidhar jaaye,

is tarha to jine se behtar hai ke marjaaye,

fariyaad kare kisse hoti nahi sunwaayi

abbas kahaan ho

Without a friend or helper, tell me, where can I go?

To live like this, it is better to die!

To whom can I plead? There is no one who will listen to my cries...

Abbas (as), where are you!

ai sher yehi meri imdaad ko aajaao

maanga hai kanizi mai zaalim ne sakina ko

hai waqt qayamat ka maasum hai ghabraayi

abbas kahaan ho

Oh Lion Abbas (as), I need your help now

The oppressor has demanded Sakina (as) for servitude!

This is a moment of doom, and the innocent child is terrified...

Abbas (as), where are you?
