Ay Zuljanah Ay Zuljanah

Irfan Haider

Bibi Sakina pleads with her father's horse, Zuljanah, not to take Imam Hussain to the battlefield. She fears she will be left alone and unprotected.

Ay Zuljana Ay Zuljana

O Zuljanah, O Zuljanah

Rahawari Ke Sumo Se Lipat Kar. Karti Thi Bain Bali Sakina.

Clinging to the hooves of the steed, Young Sakina was lamenting.

Ran Me Na Baba Ko Lay Ke Jaa Kya Tuje Maloom Nahi Dasht Hai Kaisa Jo Bhi Gaya Hai Wo Palat Kar Nahi Aya Ab Man Le Kehna Baba Kona Layja Kehti Hai Sakina

Do not take my father to the battlefield, Do you not know what kind of wilderness this is? Whoever has gone there has never returned. Now listen to me, do not take my father away, Sakina says.

Ek Kadam Tune Barhaya Jo Yahan Se Bali Sakina Bhi Guzar Jayengi Jaa Se Ab Man Le Kehna Baba Kona Layja Kehti Hai Sakina

If you take even one step from here, Young Sakina will also pass away from this life, Now listen to me, do not take my father away, Sakina says.

Kitne Naye Zakhm Muje Denge Sitamgaar Baap Ka Saya Jo Utha Aspe Wafa Dar Ab Man Le Kehna Baba Kona Layja Kehti Hai Sakina

How many new wounds will the oppressors give me? Once the shadow of my father is lifted, oh loyal one, Now listen to me, do not take my father away, Sakina says.

Dekh Zara Koyi Mere Paas Nahi Hai Tujko Yatimi Ka Bhi Ehsas Nahi Hai. Ab Man Le Kehna Baba Kona Layja Kehti Hai Sakina
