Karbala, while taking Asghar in its lap, says:This is that Ali that never lived in a house


Chhe mah ke ghareeb musafir ko sompkeKehne lage Hussain ye qabre sagheer se

Ma soch ti thi dhal tha he din ho rahi he sham

Jhoole me lot aayega shayad woh tishnaqaam

His mother thought that the sun is setting and its evening, the thirsty boy would come back into his

cradle


Lekin ghazab huwa ke woh jhula bhi jalgaya Ye woh Ali he jis ko kabhi ghar nahin mila

But what a strange sight that even his cradle got burnt, This is that Ali who never stayed in

a house





Galiyon me shehre kufa ki bazaare sham meShireen ke ghar kabhi kabhi darbare sham me

Sometimes in the alleys sometimes in the city of Kufa or in the streets of Shaam, Sometimes in the house

of Shireen and sometimes in the court of Shaam


Marne ke baad bhi abhi Asgher safar me tha Ye woh Ali he jis ko kabhi ghar nahin mila

Even after Ali Asghar died he was still travelling, This is that Ali who never stayed in

a house





Nanhe se sar ko yaas se bas takte rehte the Phir khun ro ke sayyade sajjad kehte the

Sayyade Sajjad used to hold his head in despair and would cry and say:

kept turning around and saying


Rakhio sambhal kar ise ay arze nainava Ye woh Ali he jis ko kabhi ghar nahin mila

Oh land of nainawa take care of him because, This is that Ali who never stayed in a house





Dar he ye phir se koi sina par utha na leLipta huwa he ab bhi woh seene se baap ke

Out of fear that someone else will put him on another spear, he is still hugging the chest of

his father,


Ro ro kehrahi he takallum ye karbala Ye woh Ali he jis ko kabhi ghar nahin mila

Karabala is still crying and saying, “takallum” This is that Ali who never stayed in a house
