Badne Laga Jab Shaam E Gariban Ka Andhera Zainab Ne Kisi Shaks Ko Aate Huwe Dekha Tum Kaun Ho Jab Sani E Zehra Ne Ye Poocha Chehre Se Naqaab Apne Utha Kar Wo Pukara Ke Aaya Hai Najaf Chod Ke Beti Tera Baba

When the darkness of the evening of the homeless (Shaam-e-Gariban) began to spread, Zainab saw someone approaching. When the second Zahra (Zainab) asked, 'Who are you?', He lifted the veil from his face and proclaimed, 'Your father has come, leaving Najaf, my daughter.'

Ay Meri Laadli Zainab

O my beloved Zainab

Sunkar Teri Awaaz Lehad Chod Chuka Hoo Tere Liye Main Bandhe Kafan Tod Chuka Hoo Naazon Ki Pali Aa Meri Aaghosh Mein Aaja

Hearing your voice, I have left my grave, For your sake, I have broken the shroud I was bound in, O you who were raised in luxury, come, rest in my embrace.

Abbas Ka Baba Hoo Khabar Hai Tujhe Beti Ghairat Mujhe Nazron Ko Uthane Nahi Deti Beparda Hai Tu Baap Se Dekha Nahi Jaata

I am the father of Abbas, do you know this, daughter? My honor does not allow me to lift my gaze, You are unveiled, and I cannot bear to see you like this.

Kaisa Hai Sitam Tera Bhara Ghar Hua Khaali Pardes Mein Tu Ho Gayi Bin Bhaiyon Waali Tu Rolay Alamdaar Ko Mai Deta Hoo Pehra

What a tragedy, your full house has become empty, In a foreign land, you have become one without brothers, You weep for the Standard-Bearer (Abbas), while I stand guard.

Bachon Ko Ghulamon Ke Barabar Hi Samajhle Bete Na Samajh Khadim E Akbar Hi Samajhle Kar Aun O Mohamed Pe Bhi Kuch Dayr To Girya

Consider the children as equal to slaves, Do not think of them as sons, just consider them servants of Akbar, Weep for a while for Aun and Muhammad as well.

Ghairon Ki Tarha Door Wo Kyu Baithi Hai Jaakar Mai Aa Na Saka Uska Padar Tha Tahe Khanjar Kya Roothi Hai Is Baat Pe Dada Se Sakina

Why does she sit far away like a stranger? I could not come to her, her father was under the dagger, Is Sakina angry with her grandfather for this reason?

Kal Se Hai Safar Tera Bohat Door Ka Beti Ye Soch Ke Phat'ta Hai Kaleja Mera Beti Paidal Tujhe Aadat Nahi Chalne Ki Zyada

From tomorrow, your journey is very long, daughter, Thinking of this, my heart tears apart, daughter, You are not used to walking on foot so much.

Zainab Ne Takallum Kaha Haye Mera Parda Jab Bolae Ali Shaam Ke Darbar Hai Jana Tu Tanha Nahi Jayegi Mai Saath Chalunga

Zainab said, 'O my veil (parda),' says Takallum, When Ali spoke, 'You have to go to the court of Shaam, You will not go alone; I will walk with you.'
