Stuck in my head - Ali Maula

Credits - Translation is from here - http://subhafernando.blogspot.in/2009/11/ali-maula-kurbaan.html.

"Ali Maula" from Kurbaan.

La fatah illa ali
(Theres no man as strong/brave as Ali)
La saife illa zulfiqar
(Theres no true sword except Zulfiqar [the sword given by prophet Mohammed])

Himmatein ataa karo
O madadgaar maula
(Give me strength oh God the helper)

Aap hi ho quwwate
Parwardigaar maula
(Thou art the power/energy oh God)

O shahe mardaan, shere yazdaan
Jaan fida tumpe maula
(Oh King of men, the lion of yazdan
my life is on you oh Lord)

Jazbaat kya hain maula
(what are feelings oh lord)
Haalat kya hain maula
(what are situations )
Ke shaatir iske
(shaatir - excellent)
Saare vaar hain
(everyone is defeated? ... even the best are defeated?)
Ohhoo…
Har saanse khwahish sile
(theres a dream in every breath)
Saazish hai kuch hain gile
(there are some conspiracies and some complaints )
Ke mushkilaatein Beshumaar hain
(there are countless problems)

Treatment for insect bite

Cortaid 10 (hydrocortisone 1%). This hydrocortisone cream improves both itching and swelling/redness. It actually has anti-inflammatory effects, not just symptomatic relief like the topical anesthetics. However, it does take longer for full effect than topical anesthetics.
