Fatima Zahra

Sayyeda Tahera Sayyeda Haay Sakina Haay Sakina Zahra Ki Tarah Aasu Bahati Hai Sakina Bachpan Me Zaifa Nazar Aati Hai Sakina

The Lady, the Pure, the Lady, Alas, Sakina, alas, Sakina. Like Zahra, Sakina sheds tears, In her childhood, she appears, As an old and weary woman, Sakina.

Haider Se Shikayat Kiya Karte The Hamesha Zahra Ko Musalmano Ne Rone Na Diya Tha Rone Pe Tamache Yaha Khaati Hai Sakina

They used to complain to Haider always, That the Muslims did not let Zahra weep. Here, for the crime of weeping, Sakina receives slaps.

Kis Karb Se Guzri Hai Bataya Na Kisi Ko Zahra Ne Koi Zakhm Dikhaya Na Ali Ko Sajjad Se Zakhmo Ko Chupati Hai Sakina

She told no one of the agony she endured, Zahra showed no wound to Ali. From Sajjad, her wounds, Sakina hides.

Jalte Hue Darwaze Ko Zahra Ne Bujhaya Dono Ko Musibat Me Kisine Na Bachaya Jalte Hue Daman Ko Bujhati Hai Sakina

Zahra extinguished the burning door, No one saved either of them in their calamity. Her burning hem, Sakina extinguishes.

Zehra Ko Mila Baap Pe Rone K Liye Ghar Allah Re Shabbir Ki Beti Ka Muqaddar Zinda Ko Azakhana Banati Hai Sakina

Zahra found a home to weep for her father, God, look at the destiny of Shabbir's daughter. The prison cell into a house of mourning, Sakina turns.

Darbaare Sahaba Me Gai Fatima Zehra Ye Soch Ke Sajjad Ne Fir Sar Na Uthaya Darbaare Sharabi Me Hai Jaati Hai Sakina

Fatima Zahra went to the court of the companions, Thinking of this, Sajjad did not raise his head again. Into the court of the drunkard, Sakina is taken.

Zehra Bhi Bohot Tadpi Thi Furqat Me Padar Ki Par Baap Ko Is Tarha Sada Deti Hai Bachi Zahra Ko Bhi Turbat Me Rulati Hai Sakina

Zahra also suffered greatly in the separation from her father, But the child calls out to her father in such a way, That even Zahra in her grave, Is made to weep by Sakina.

Dono Ki Hi Turbat Pe Andhero Ka Hai Pehra Yu Lagta Hai Sajjad Sada Deti Hai Zahra Mehdi Tujhe Zinda Me Bulati Hai Sakina

Darkness keeps watch over the graves of both, It seems to Sajjad that Zahra is calling out, 'O Mehdi, in the prison, Sakina calls for you.'
