Every lady is weeping, And Zainab, with deep longing, Looks at her veil.

Sookhe Huwe Labon Par Bachon Zaban Na Phero Mashk O Alam Ko Dekho Kuch Dayr Mein Yahan Tak Khud Nehr Aa Rahi Hai

Do not pass your tongues over your parched lips, children. Look at the water-skin and the standard; In a little while, the river itself Will come here.

Kyun Mashk Tum Ne Dedi Ghazi Ko Shahzaadi Ay Ranj O Gham Ki Aadi Khush Kyun Hai Ay Sakina Kuch Dayr Ki Khushi Hai

Why did you give the water-skin, O Princess, to the Ghazi? O you who are accustomed to grief and sorrow, Why are you happy, O Sakina? This is but a fleeting joy.

When Ali had kissed The arms of Zainab In the moments of his life, 'My arms will be bound,' Zainab has understood.

Rehaan Azmi Wo Manzar Na Likh Sakunga Bas Itna Keh Sakunga Kehte Thay Shaahe Waala Kam Meri Zindagi Hai

Rehaan Azmi, I will not be able to write Of that scene. I can only say this much: The noble King (Hussain) was saying, 'My life is now short.'
