کیا صرف مسلماں کے پیارے ہیں حسینؓ؟
چرخِ نوعِ بشر کے ستارے ہیں حسینؓ
Kya sirf musalmaan ke pyaare hain Hussain?
Charakh-e-nau-e-bashar ke sitaare hain Hussain

شاعرِ انقلاب جوشؔ ملیح آبادی (1898–1982) کی یہ نظم کربلا، حریت اور انسانی آزادی کی سب سے زیادہ پڑھی جانے والی نظم ہے۔ جوش نے امام حسینؓ کی عظیم قربانی کو کسی ایک فرقے یا مذہب کے دائرے سے نکال کر پوری انسانیت کا مشترکہ ورثہ قرار دیا۔ یہ شعر 'انسان کو بیدار تو ہو لینے دو / ہر قوم پکارے گی ہمارے ہیں حسینؓ' دنیا بھر میں انصاف، سچائی اور ظلم کے خلاف مزاحمت کا آفاقی استعارہ بن چکا ہے۔
Josh Malihabadi's 'Hussain Aur Inqilab' is a monumental revolutionary anthem in modern Urdu literature. Hailed as 'Shair-e-Inqilab', Josh de-sectarianizes the tragedy of Karbala, presenting Imam Hussain's sacrifice as a universal beacon for all oppressed peoples resisting tyranny. The immortal lines—'Let humanity awaken / Every nation will proclaim: Hussain belongs to us!'—have become global rallying cries for social justice.

Kya sirf musalmaan ke pyaare hain Hussain?
Charakh-e-nau-e-bashar ke sitaare hain Hussain
انسان کو بیدار تو ہو لینے دو
ہر قوم پکارے گی ہمارے ہیں حسینؓ
Insaan ko bedaar to ho lene do
Har qaum pukaare gi hamare hain Hussain
عباسؔ کا علم ہے کہ حریت کا نشاں
باطل کے اندھیروں پہ کوندتی ہے کماں
Abbas ka alam hai ke hurriyat ka nishaan
Baatil ke andheron pe kaundti hai kamaan
شبیرؓ کی شہادت ہے بقائے آدم
ظالم کے ستم پہ ہے صدائے ماتم
Shabbir ki shahadat hai baqa-e-aadam
Zaalim ke sitam pe hai sada-e-maatam
Kya sirf musalmaan ke pyaare hain Hussain?

Is Hussain beloved only to the community of Muslims? Hussain is the guiding luminous star of all humankind! Let humanity awaken to true consciousness and justice: Every nation on earth will proclaim: 'Hussain belongs to us!' The banner of Abbas is the eternal beacon of universal liberty, Flashing like lightning against the despotic gloom of falsehood! The martyrdom of Shabbir is the enduring salvation of human dignity, An unceasing lament echoing over the ruins of tyranny!
Josh Malihabadi deploys his thundering rhetorical power to universalize the ethical legacy of Karbala. The opening stanzas dismantle narrow sectarian ownership: Imam Hussain belongs not merely to one religious denomination, but shines as a guiding star for all humankind. True moral awakening inevitably leads every culture to embrace Hussain as the champion of universal rights. The concluding verses frame the stand of Karbala as the ultimate catalyst for human liberty: the flag of Abbas stands as the eternal banner of freedom, and the sacrifice of Hussain guarantees the moral survival of humanity against tyrannical usurpation.
