Efforts: Syed-Rizwan Rizvi

Karbala ek Aftaab aur uski tanweeren bohut
Ek kitabae aanghee iski hain taqdeeren bohut
Karbala, Karbala ek Aftaab ....

Panjatan ke naqsh seeney mein saja kar rakh liye
Qasid e taqdeer ne dikhlayee tasweeren bohut
Karbala, Karbala ek Aftaab ....

Hain bahattar tan shareek e maqsad e gibrieel azeem
Ek khalile khwab tha jiski hain tabeeren bohat
Karbala, Karbala ek Aftaab ....

Fauq e Akbar ne azan mein bhar diya kuch aur rang
Yuhn to mahshar tak suni jayengi gi taqdeeren bohat
Karbala, Karbala ek Aftaab ....

Nusrat e haq mein tere uqba bani Hurr e Jari
Haath mal kar rah gayen duniya ki jaagireen bohut
Karbala, Karbala ek Aftaab ....

Ruk saka kab rasta Sher e Khuda ke Sher ka
Rokne ko lakh thi saahil par shamsheeren bohut
Karbala, Karbala ek Aftaab ....

Bezabaan Asghar ne patthar dil hila kar rakh diye
Sun chucke the ashqiya purzor taqreeren bohut
Karbala, Karbala ek Aftaab ....

Goshiwareen khaich kar ghudka tamachey bhi lagaye
Jaise thin us phool si bachchi ki taqdeeren bohut
Karbala, Karbala ek Aftaab ....

Bedeiyan pairoon mein aur gardan mein tauq e khaardaar
Phir bhi pahnayen gaye Aabid ko zanjeeren bohut
Karbala, Karbala ek Aftaab ....
