Dete hai aza'n akbar

Karbal ke bayaaba me, dete hai'n aza'n akbar.
Yasrab me jise sughra, betaab huvi sunkar.

Beemaar bahan khat me, likhti hai biraadar ko.
Din raat tadapti hu, bhaai se juda ho kar.

Karbal se madeene me, ab jald chale aao.
Le jaao muje aakar, taskeene dile khwaahar.

Sughra ne kaha ro kar, khat de ke yeh qasid ko.
Baba ko suna dena, tu haale ghame dukhtar.

Maqtal me java'n beta, galtaan lahoo me hai.
Zakhmi hai kamar sheh ki, or koi nahi yaavar.

Laashe pe khate sughra, pad kar yeh kaha sheh ne.
Hai waqte namaaz aaya, uthke do aza'n akbar.

Thi khasta kamar *sheh ki* aankho me andhera tha.
Mayyat ali akbar ki jab leke chale sarwar.

Ek hashr sa barba hai, khayme me shahedee'n ke.
Hai girya kuna'n zainab, hai mehve fugha'n maadar.

Navshad ajab haalat, sarwar ki huvi usdam.
Jab maa ne vaqaar apna, sajde me jukaaya sar.
