Lasha Qasim Ka Nazar Aya

Lasha Qasim Ka Nazar Aya

Ali Zaidi · 2019

When Imam Hussain sees the torn body of his nephew Qasim, he remembers his brother Hasan. Gathering the scattered pieces into his cloak and lifting the young bridegroom still wearing his wedding garland, the grief of losing Hasan comes flooding back.

NohaShahadat Qasim

Lasha Qasim Ka Nazar Aaya, Hasan Yaad Aaye

When the body of Qasim came into sight, Hasan was remembered

Us Ghari Roye Bohat, Sheh Ko Hasan Yaad Aaye

In that moment, the King wept deeply, for Hasan came to his mind

Mehendi Armaano Ki Haa,to Mey Laga Kar Maa Ney Sehra Maathay Pey Haye Sehra Maathay Pey Sajaaya Ya Toh Hasan Yaad Aaye

With such hopeful longing, his mother had applied the henna — When the wedding garland was placed upon his brow, alas, Hasan was remembered.

Haye Qasim Na Teray, Tukre Badan Ke Hotay Rokay Seenay Say Haye, Lagaa Ya Toh Hasan Yaad Aaye

Alas, would that the body of Qasim had not been torn to pieces — When he pressed those fragments to his chest, Hasan was remembered.

Tukre Qasim Ke Chunne, Aur Aba Main Daalay Baandh Kar Laasha Haye, Uthaya Toh Hasan Yaad Aaye

Gathering the scattered pieces of Qasim and placing them in his cloak — When he bound the body together and lifted it, alas, Hasan was remembered.

Faizi Shabbir Jo Qa,sim Ka Janaza Laaye Zakhmi Teeron Kay Haye, Janazay Me Hasan Yaad Aaye

O Faizi, when Shabbir bore the funeral of Qasim — Amid the wounds of arrows, alas, in that procession Hasan was remembered.
