Ya Asma 2 (O Asma 2)

يا أسماء، لا تلوميني

O Asma, do not blame me (for my weeping)

رأيت ضلعا من ضلوع فاطم كسير

I saw a rib from among Fatima's ribs broken

يلي توصي بالصبر، گلت الصبر زين

(Asma said to Imam Ali:) "O You who advise us to be patient, you say that patience is beautiful"

گال إلها إي بس مو على فگد أم الحسين

He said to her, yes, but not over the loss of the mother of Husayn

شأصبر و أنا منها شفت مكسور ضلعين

How can I be patient when I saw her ribs broken?

و بعيني يا أسماء شفتها حمرة العين!

And with my own eyes, O Asma, I saw the redness of her eye

تخفي بالحجاب آثار السطره البالخد

She hides beneath her hijab, the traces of the slap upon her cheek

شما تخفي الصواب يظهر عالمتن الأسود

However much she hides the injury, it appears upon her blackened back

شصاير ورا الباب، و چم إيد عليها التمتد؟

How could this have happened, behind the door? And how many hands were stretched against her?

يوم الدار، ما الذي دارا؟

On the Day of the House, how did this take place?

و لم إذا نظرتها بطرفها تدير؟

And why, whenever I look at her, does she turn her gaze away?

يا أسماء، لا تلوميني

O Asma, do not blame me (for my weeping)

رأيت ضلعا من ضلوع فاطم كسير

I saw a rib from among Fatima's ribs broken

أسماء خليني أبث من صدري الأوجاع

Asma, let me pour out from my chest these pains

كسر الخواطر مو أقل من كسر الأضلاع

The breaking of hearts is no less than the breaking of ribs

عايش عگبها عيشة الحي وكت النزاع

After her, I live the life of a living body trapped in the endless agony of death

خيبر على متني أخف من ثگل الوداع

Khaybar upon my back is lighter than the weight of the farewell

ما عندي متون تساعدني بشيل الزهرة

I have no back left to help me carry al-Zahra

و لا عندي عيون تسعدني بسيل العبرة

Nor do I have eyes that can aid me in the flowing of tears

يا أسماء وشلون يعيش الي يشيع عمره

O Asma, how can the one who buries his whole life continue to live?

لا والله، لست أسلوها

No, by Allah, I will never stop thinking about her

أدفنها و قبرها بمهجتي حفير

I bury her, while her grave is dug within my very soul

يا أسماء، لا تلوميني

O Asma, do not blame me (for my weeping)

رأيت ضلعا من ضلوع فاطم كسير

I saw a rib from among Fatima's ribs broken

چانت تكابر عالأسى و من تبچي سكتة

She would put on strength against sorrow, and when she wept, she wept silently

و اسألها: شنهو اليوجعچ؟ وتگلي: إنت!

I would ask her, "What is hurting you?" and she would tell me, "Seeing your agony"

علي تخفي صوابها و المخفي شفته

She hid her injury from me, but I saw what had been hidden

بالمغتسل رض الصدر بيميني جسته

At the burial, with my right hand I felt the crushing of her chest

حگي يا أسماء، لو ذوب شحمة عيني

It is my right, O Asma, even if it melts the skin of my eye...

و أصرخ يزهراء، رحتي بسرعة و عفتيني

To cry out, "O Zahra, you left so quickly and left me behind"

حكم القدر شاء، تخلص بالهم سنيني

The decree of fate willed that my years should end in sorrow

أبكيها، و هي تبكيني

I weep for her, while she makes me weep

مضت بطول حزنها و عمرها قصير!

She departed with the long length of her sorrow, though her lifetime was short

يا أسماء، لا تلوميني

O Asma, do not blame me (for my weeping)

رأيت ضلعا من ضلوع فاطم كسير

I saw a rib from among Fatima's ribs broken

خزانة الأسرار وتضم عني الأسرار؟

You are the treasury of secrets, yet you conceal secrets from me?

و آنا ادري بالصار و أغض طرفي عن الصار

While I know what happened, and I lower my gaze from what happened

صدر اللي بيه يغفى الحسن بيه غافي مسمار

The chest where Hasan would sleep, has been pierced with a nail

و إيد التهز مهد الحسين انچوت بالنار

And the hand that rocked Husayn's cradle, has been set on fire

يا أسماء معقول، كل هذا الصاير بيها!

O Asma, how can it be that all of this happened to her?

و ما چانت تگول، چم سوط تلوى عليها

And she would never say how many whips were hit across her

خل حسرتي تطول، للموت و ما أوفيها

Let my heartbreak last until death, I will never recover from it

ما تخفيه الحزن و القبرا

The sadness and the grave, could not conceal her pain

و ظلمها بدا بنكث بيعة الغدير

And her oppression began with the breaking of the pledge of Ghadir

يا أسماء، لا تلوميني

O Asma, do not blame me (for my weeping)

رأيت ضلعا من ضلوع فاطم كسير

I saw a rib from among Fatima's ribs broken
