Darpesh ho Taiba ka safar, kaisa lagay ga
Guzrein jo wahan shaam o sehar, kaisa lagay ga.

Chorus:
Bara acha lagay ga, bara pyara lagay ga, bara meetha lagay ga

Aye kash Madinay mein mujhay mout youn aaye
Qadmoom main ho sarkar kay sar kaisa lagay ga.

[ Chorus ]

Aye pyaray Khuda daikhoon mein sarkar ka jalwa
Mil jayen dua to jo asar kaisa lagay ga.

[ Chorus ]

Aaqa ka gada hoon aie jahannum bhi to sun lay
Woh kaisay jalay jo keh ghulam e Madani ho.

Aye kash main ban jayoon Madinay ka musafir
Phir rooti hui Taiba ko baraat chali ho.

Jab dur say hai itna haseen Gumbad e Khizra
Iss paar yeh aalam hay udhar kaisa lagay ga.

[ Chorus ]

Taibba ki sa’aadat to youn patay hain hazaron
Murshid ka saath ho jo safar kaisa lagay ga.

[ Chorus ]

Aa jayein meray ghar mein agar Rehmat e Aalam
Main kaisa lagoon ga mera ghar kaisa lagay ga.

[ Chorus ]

Darpesh ho Taiba ka safar, kaisa lagay ga
Guzrein jo wahan sham o sehr, kaisa lagay ga.

Bara acha lage ga, bara pyara lage ga, bara meetha lage ga

If you ask me, why do I stand here,
So unafraid of everything around me.
Proudly I would say, I am a Muslim.

If you ask her, why does she dress that way,
All covered up in a world that gives it all away.
Proudly she would say, I am a Muslim.

Chorus:
Deenil Islam deeni
Wala ‘ardab gheiru deeni
Muhammad elli hadeeni
Nourel iman

If you ask me, surely this cannot be,
You give your wealth so free, and you say your life is charity.
It ain’t hard to see, I am a Muslim.

If you ask him, why does it hurt so,
When he sees injustice, even though it’s folks he doesn’t know,
With tears in his eyes he says, I am a Muslim.

Chorus

If you ask her, why doesn’t she cry,
There’s no one by her side, she’s the only one that’s left behind.
Patiently she sighs, I am a Muslim.

If you ask him, why does he still pray,
Five times a day when so many others have strayed.
Smiling he would say, I am a Muslim.

Chorus

If you ask me, why do I love you
No matter where you are, we are the greatest Ummah
With the beating of our hearts, we are Muslim.

La-illah-ha-illalah Muhammad-ur-rasullulah
There is only one God
La-illah-ha-illalah Muhammad-al-Mustapha
Muhammad is the messenger

Dil madinah mera bana Aaqa (SAW),
Ho mujhe chashm-e-nam ataa Aaqa (SAW).

Ab huzoori ho, dur doori ho,
Phir madinay mujhe bula Aaqa (SAW).

Maut kay baad, bhi suroor aaye,
Aisi ulfat ki mai pila Aaqa (SAW).

Mujh ko Siddiq (Radi Allahu Anhu) ki sadaqat ka,
Koi zara Tu (SAW) kar ataa Aaqa (SAW).

Kash roay Khashiyat-e-Rab say,
Behr-e-Farooq (Radi Allah Anhu) dil mera Aaka (SAW).

Behr-e-Usman (Radi Allah Anhu) ba haya mujh ko,
Dijiye dolat-e-haya Aqa (SAW).

Behr-e-Mola Ali (Alaihis Salaam) mujhe ghalba,
Dushmano per tu kar ataa Aaka (SAW).

Az paye Fatima (Radi Allahu Anha) mujhe apnay,
Ishq mein har ghari rula Aaka (SAW).

Behr-e-Hasnain (Radi Allahu Anhu) day panah mujh ko,
Paikar-e-sabr or riza Aaqa (SAW).

Mujh ko sadqay mein Bu-Hanifa (Radi Allah Anhu) kay,
Aalim-e-baa amal bana Aaqa (SAW).

Waasta tujh ko Ghous-e-Azam (Radi Allah Anhu) ka,
Naik seerat mujhe bana Aaqa (SAW).

Waasta tujh ko Alahazrat (Radi Allah Anho) ka,
Tu mujhe muttaqi bana Aaqa (SAW).

Mere ahlo-ayaal ore mujh say,
Door ho jaye har bala Aaqa (SAW).

Muskura kar Ubaid say keh do,
Tu mera banda mein tera Aaqa (SAW).

Sana Khuwaan: Owais Raza Qadri
Kalaam By: Obaid-E-Raza

Dil main ishq e Nabi (SAW) ki ho aisi lagan,
Ruh tarapti rahe dil machalta rahe,
Zindagi ka maza hey kay har saans say,
Ya Muhammad Muhammad (SAW) nikalta rahey.

Dil Main Ishq-e-Nabi Kee Ho Aesee Lagan….

Ya Muhammad Muhammad (SAW) mein kehta raha,
Noor kay motion ki lare ban gaee,
Ayaton sey milata raha ayatayn,
Phir jo dekha to Naat e Nabi (SAW) ban gaye.

Jo bhi ansoo bahe merey Mehboob kay,
Sab key sab abr e rehmat kay cheentay banay,
Chah gaee raat jab zulf lehra gaee,
Jab tabasum kiya chandani ban gaee.

Yeh to maana kay jannat hai bagh e haseen,
Khoobsoorat hey sab khuld ki sar zameen,
Husn e jannat ko phir jab samayta gaya,
Sarwar e ambiya ki galee ban gaee.

Jab chirah tazkira un kay rukhsaar ka,
Waduha par liya, wal qamar keh dia,
Sooraton kee tilawat bhi hoti rahi,
Naat bhi ho gayi baat bhi ban gayi.

Sab say saim zamanay main mazoor tha,
Sab sey beykas tha beybas tha majboor tha ,
Un ko reham agaya merey halaat par,
Meree azmat meree beybasee ban gaee.

Dil mein ishq e Nabi (SAW) ki ho aisi lagan,
Rooh tarapti rahay dil machalta rahay,
Zindagi ka maza hai kay har saans say,
Ya Muhammad Muhammad (SAW) nikalta rahey.

Noha Reciter: Qurban Jafri
Album: Qurban Jafri – 2004

It would be such a pleasure to have you come along with me,
I accept your gracious offer of kindness and company.
But as we walk along young man and as you help me with my load,
I’ve only one request as we travel down this road,

Don’t talk to me about Muhammad.
Because of him there is no peace and I have trouble in my mind,

so don’t talk to me about Muhammad
and as we walk along together we will get along just fine,
and as we walk along together we will get along.

That man upsets me so, and so much more than you could know,
I hear of his name and reputation everywhere I go.
Though his family and his clan once knew him as an honest man,
he’s dividing everyone with his claim that “God is One”
So don’t talk to me about Muhammad.

Because of him there is no peace and I have trouble in my mind,
so don’t talk to me about Muhammad
and as we walk along together we will get along just fine,
and as we walk along together we will get along.

He’s misled all the weak ones and the poor ones and the slaves,
They think they’ve all found wealth and freedom following his ways.
He’s corrupted all the youth with his twisted brand of truth
convinced them they all are strong, given them somewhere to belong.

So don’t talk to me about Muhammad.
Because of him there is no peace and I have trouble in my mind,
so don’t talk to me about Muhammad
and as we walk along together we will get along just fine,
and as we walk along together we will get along.

Thank you now young man, you’ve really been so kind
Your generosity and smile are very rare to find.
Let me give you some advice, since you’ve been so very nice,
From Muhammad stay away, don’t heed his words or emulate his way.

And don’t talk about Muhammad,
or you will never have true peace and trouble is all you will find.
So don’t talk about Muhammad
and as you travel down life’s road you will get along just fine.

Now before we part and go, if it’s alright just the same,
may I ask, my dear young man, who you are? What is your name?

Forgive me – what was that? Your words weren’t very clear,
my ears are getting old – sometimes its difficult to hear.
It is truly rather funny, though I’m sure I must be wrong,
but I thought I heard you said that your name is Muhammad……

Muhammad?

Ash haduallah ilaha il Allah wa Ash hadu ana Muhammad ur-Rasulullah.

Oh talk to me Muhammad!
Upon you I pray for peace for you have eased my troubled mind!
Oh talk to me Muhammad
and as we walk along together we will get along just fine,
and as I travel down life’s road I will get along just fine.

Dragged from Karbala to Kufa, and then to Shaam
O Zainab, O Zainab

1
When you counted up the children in the dark desperate night
Sakina where are you? Where are you Sakina?
Sakina was clinging to her martyred father’s chest x2
A body so trampled upon, and covered with arrows
O Zainab, O Zainab…

Dragged from Karbala…

2
When the sun rose on the morning of 11th Muharram
It was reluctant to cast its rays upon the scene
The brutal treatment of the women and the children x2
With chains around their necks and wrists and rope on their feet
O Zainab, O Zainab…

Dragged from Karbala…

3
No burial for the menfolk who had been sacrificed
Their bodies had been trampled as they lay on the plains
No chaddar on the ladies as they were dragged away x2
A cradle lying empty on the sands of Karbala
O Zainab, O Zainab…

Dragged from Karbala…

4
The heads of the martyrs were placed upon a row of spears
The children and the women were then dragged along in chains
Imam was ill but he was beaten all along the way x2
The ropes biting into their flesh and leaving them with scars
O Zainab, O Zainab…

Dragged from Karbala…

5
When Zainab and Kulthoom saw the walls of Kufa
They remembered times that they’d spent there with their father
Who would have thought the family of Muhammad x2
Would be paraded in Kufa, in sorrow and such grief
O Zainab, O Zainab…

Dragged from Karbala…

6
In Damascus they were marched in the blazing open sun,
Blood oozing from the lash wounds and the journey’s toils and trials
The townsfolk wondered who they were and gave them dates to eat x2
The people did not recognise they are of Muhammad
O Zainab, O Zainab…

Dragged from Karbala…

Ne guzel yaratmissin nimetlerini

Her zaman ismin dilimizde ey Allah, ey Allah
Her zaman askin kalbimizde ey Allah, ey Allah

From the way of truth we have strayed

Ya habibi ya Hussain

(Sakhi Abbas Jari Ya ilaahi mujhe de) x2

1. Ek jari chaahiye taarike shujaa’at ke liye
Karbala mein mere Shabbir ki nusrat ke liye
Aur na munh se payambar ki hifaazat ke liye
Ya ilaahi mujhe Abbas-sa beta dede
(Jab mere ghar mein Alam hay to Alamdaar bhi ho) x3

2. Shukr sad shukr tera shabbar-o-shabbir diye
Betiyaan ki hai ata zainab-o-kulsoom mujhe
Baad iske meri bas ek dua ke badle
Ya ilaahi mujhe Abbas-sa beta dede
(Jab mere ghar mein Alam hay to Alamdaar bhi ho) x3

3. Aaina sabr-o-shujaat ka bana na mera
Hu bahu meri hi tasweer ho baccha mera
Usko dekhoon to nazar aaye sarapa mera
Ya ilahi mujhe abbas sa beta dede
(Jab mere ghar mein Alam hay to Alamdaar bhi ho) x3

4. Koi be-yar-o-madadgaar agar hojaye
Iltaja behre madad apni zabaan par laye
Mujko awaaz koi de wo madad ko aaye
Ya ilahi mujhe abbas sa beta dede
(Jab mere ghar mein Alam hay to Alamdaar bhi ho) x3

5. Zindagi jiski guzar jaye alamdaari me
Apne baazoo bhi kata de jo fidakaari me
Sabse aage nazar aaye jo wafadaari me
Ya ilahi mujhe abbas sa beta dede
(Jab mere ghar mein Alam hay to Alamdaar bhi ho) x3

6. Naam uska ho jin hoton pe wahan pyas na ho
Koi umeed na toote koi be aas na ho
Yaad karke use tanhai ka ehsaas na ho
Ya ilahi mujhe abbas sa beta dede
(Jab mere ghar mein Alam hay to Alamdaar bhi ho) x3

7. Mere maalik mere honthhon pe jab aayi ye dua
Meri aankhon mein nazar aane lagi Karbobala
Mera Shabbir musibat mein kharaa hay tanhaa
Ya ilaahi mujhe Abbas-sa beta dede
(Jab mere ghar mein Alam hay to Alamdaar bhi ho) x3

8. Jab woh karbal mein ho chawbhees pehel ka pyaasa
Har kadam par use isaar ka jazba dena
Aur mere laal ke haathonko salaamat rakhna
Ya ilaahi mujhe Abbas-sa beta dede
(Jab mere ghar mein Alam hay to Alamdaar bhi ho) x3

9. Ay “kaleem” hogayi maqbool duaa-e-Haidar
Usko “Mesum” kaha hai Fatema Zehra ne pisar
Arzu ki thi Ali ne jo huzur-e-daawar
Ya ilaahi mujhe Abbas-sa beta dede
(Jab mere ghar mein Alam hay to Alamdaar bhi ho) x3
