گرمی کا روزِ جنگ کی شدت کا کیا بیاں
پتھر بھی موم ہو گئے گرمی سے ناگہاں
Garmi ka roz-e-jang ki shiddat ka kya bayaan
Patthar bhi mom ho gaye garmi se naagahaan
Complete NAZM with English Translation, Roman Urdu & Tashreeh
میر ببر علی انیس مرثیہ نگاری کے وہ عظیم شہنشاہ ہیں جن کی منظر کشی، فصاحت اور بلاغت اردو ادب کی بلندیوں کا استعارہ ہے۔ یہ مسدس کربلا کے میدان میں تپتی دھوپ، پیاس اور گرمی کی شدت کا وہ لرزہ خیز نقشہ کھینچتا ہے جو دنیا کے کسی بھی حماسی کلام میں نظیر نہیں رکھتا۔
Mir Babar Ali Anees is universally acclaimed as the supreme monarch of the Urdu Marsiya (elegy). In this immortal Musaddas, Anees deploys unmatched hyperbole, vivid sensory imagery, and sublime dramatic rhythm to paint the scorching desert furnace of Karbala and the spiritual steadfastness of Imam Hussain (A.S.) and his thirsty companions.
گرمی کا روزِ جنگ کی شدت کا کیا بیاں
پتھر بھی موم ہو گئے گرمی سے ناگہاں
Garmi ka roz-e-jang ki shiddat ka kya bayaan
Patthar bhi mom ho gaye garmi se naagahaan
لو وہ چلی کہ الاماں وہ تشنگی کہ الاماں
خشک اس طرح ہوئی ہے زباں جیسے کہ کماں
Loo woh chali ke al-amaan woh tishnagi ke al-amaan
Khushk is tarah hui hai zubaan jaise ke kamaan
سورج فلک پہ شعلہ زن اور خاک آگ تھی
پیاسی تھی فوجِ شاہ مگر سر بکف کھڑی
Sooraj falak pe shola-zan aur khaak aag thi
Pyaasi thi fauj-e-shah magar sar-ba-kaf khadi
دریا پہ پہرے دار تھے اور نہر بند تھی
تلوار کٹ رہی تھی مگر بات بند تھی
Darya pe pehre-daar thay aur nehr band thi
Talwaar kat rahi thi magar baat band thi
Garmi ka roz-e-jang ki shiddat ka kya bayaan Patthar bhi mom ho gaye garmi se naagahaan Loo woh chali ke al-amaan woh tishnagi ke al-amaan Khushk is tarah hui hai zubaan jaise ke kamaan Sooraj falak pe shola-zan aur khaak aag thi Pyaasi thi fauj-e-shah magar sar-ba-kaf khadi Darya pe pehre-daar thay aur nehr band thi Talwaar kat rahi thi magar baat band thi
How can one portray the blistering fury of the battle's oppressive noon? Even callous stones melted into wax beneath the relentless blazing sun! The desert wind blasted like a furnace, crying mercy; oh, what unendurable thirst! Parched tongues had arched rigid inside mouths, like drawn bows! The sun was aflame in the heavens while scorching sand burned like coal; Yet the thirsty camp of the righteous King stood resolute with lives upon their palms! Sentries guarded the river Euphrates and water access was ruthlessly barred; Swords clashed and cleaved in martyrdom, yet steadfast faith never wavered!
In these iconic verses, Mir Anees exhibits his consummate mastery of epic narration. He portrays the hostile, molten environment where even stone turns to wax under the solar crucible. Despite the Euphrates being cut off by enemy guards, the spiritual resolve of the Imam's retinue remains unshaken, turning bodily thirst into eternal spiritual triumph.
