Bhai Bhai Pukarti Rahi Mai - With English Translation

Bhai bhai pukarti rahi mai, phir bhi khanjar nahi ruka amma
Mother, I kept calling for my brother but the dagger didn't stop

shimr ne ki phir aisi ghustakhi..(2) mujhse dekha nahi gaya amma
I couldn't watch shimr's insolence, Mother

bhai bhai pukarti rahi mai, phir bhi khanjar nahi ruka amma
Mother, I kept calling for my brother but the dagger didn't stop

Tum jo zulfe sawara karti thi
The locks of hair that you used to brush

unhi zulfo mein haath tha uska
Were the ones shimr held

jaha'n bose diye the nana ne
Where The Prophet used to kiss

usi gardan se khoo'n tapakta tha
Is the neck where blood poured

sare shabbir yu uthaye hue
Carrying the head of Hussain

shimr khaime tak aagaya amma
He reached our camp, Mother

bhai bhai pukarti rahi mai, phir bhi khanjar nahi ruka amma
Mother, I kept calling for my brother but the dagger didn't stop

Dekh kar mujhko bayn karte hue
shimr saw me lament for Hussain

shimr har baar muskarata raha
he kept smiling

meri nazro ke saamne zalim
I witnessed

waar ginkar churi chalata raha
the attack of knives, there were precisely

haye 13 zarbe thi aur kund khanjar tha
13 swords and a dull dagger

aur shabbir ka gala amma
And Hussain's throat, Mother

bhai bhai pukarti rahi mai, phir bhi khanjar nahi ruka amma
Mother, I kept calling for my brother but the dagger didn't stop

Charo janib se gher rakha tha
Surrounded from all 4 sides

tere noore nazar ko lashkar ne
Was the light of your eyes

teer barsata tha koi uspar
Some rained arrows onto him

koi patthar se maarta tha
Some threw rocks

haye ret zakhmo pe wo girata raha
Some poured the dessert sand on his wounds,

jisko patthar nahi mila amma
those who couldn't find rocks

bhai bhai pukarti rahi mai, phir bhi khanjar nahi ruka amma
Mother, I kept calling for my brother but the dagger didn't stop

Tegh Jis Dum Koi Chali Uspar
When a sword attacked Hussain

Haye ABBAS (ASWS) Kehke Roya Tha
He cried for Abbas

Teer Peshani Pe Laga Jis Dum
When an arrow struck Hussain's forehead

Haye ASGHAR (ASWS) Zabaa'n Pe Aaya Tha
He cried for Asghar

Haye AKBAR (ASWS) Pukara bhaiya Ne
Hussain cried out for Akbar

Jab Bhi Neza Koi Laga Amma
When a spear struck him

bhai bhai pukarti rahi mai, phir bhi khanjar nahi ruka amma
Mother, I kept calling for my brother but the dagger didn't stop

Haye jab chalaya tha shimr ne khanjar
When shimr ran his dagger

maine aanko'n se apni dekha tha
I witnessed with my own eyes

haath apne uthake pehlu se
You lifted your hands

tune sukhe gale pe rakha tha
And placed them on Hussain's parched throat

ungliya'n zakhmi hogayi hongi
Your fingers must be injured

haath mujhse to naa chupa amma
Mother, don't hide your hands from me 

bhai bhai pukarti rahi mai, phir bhi khanjar nahi ruka amma
Mother, I kept calling for my brother but the dagger didn't stop

Aisi Nafrat Thi Unke Seeno Mein
There was so much hate in the hearts of the Syrians

Ye Bhi Socha Na Shaam Walo Ne
They didn't even think

Deen E Islam Mein Zabiha Tak
Even animals in Islam

Zibha Pyaase Nahi Kiye Jaate
are not slaughtered thirsty

Haye Teen Din Se HUSAIN (AS) Pyaasa Hai
Hussain was thirsty for 3 days

Ye Bhi Socha Nahi Gaya Amma
It didn't occur to them

Bhai Bhai Pukarti Rahi Mai, Phir Bhi Khanjar Nahi Ruka Amma
Mother, I kept calling for my brother but the dagger didn't stop
