Aye Zaifa Meri Zainab Ko Kahi'n Dekha Hai
Ameer Hasan Aamir
A man named Abdullah asks a stranger if she has seen his wife Zainab after the tragedy of Karbala. The woman reveals her true identity and describes the terrible suffering she endured.
Dekha Zainab Ko To Abdullah Ne Rokar Pucha
When Abdullah saw Zainab, he asked, weeping:
Aye Zaifa Meri Zainab Ko Kahi'n Dekha Hai
O lady, have you seen my Zainab anywhere?
Kis Liye Aayi Hai Karne Mere Ghar Tu Girya
Why have you come to my house to weep?
Kya Mohammad Ki Nawasi Ko Tu Pehchanti Hai Kya Mere Aun O Mohammad Ko Bhi Tu Jaanti Hai Tujhko Maloom Hai Ehwaal Mere Baccho'n Ka
Do you recognize the granddaughter of Muhammad? Do you know my Aun and Mohammad as well? Do you know the plight of my children?
Kitne Mash'hoor The Is Shehr Mein Khairaat Uski Apni Maadar Se Bohot Milti Thi Soorat Uski Odh Kar Ghar Se Nikalti Thi Wo Zehra Ki Rida
How famous was her charity in this city, Her appearance resembled her mother's so much, She would leave the house draped in the cloak of Zahra.
Khaicha Karta Tha Qalatein Ali Akbar Uski Kitni Tazeem Kiya Karte The Sarwar Uski Aur Abbas Diya Karte The Pehra Uska
Ali Akbar would arrange her veil, How much respect Sarwar (Hussain) showed her, And Abbas would stand guard over her.
Badliya Ghum Ki Madine Pe Jo Ye Chhayi Hai Kya Wo Shehzadiya'n Pardes Se Laut Aayi Hai Aagaya Khair Se Kya Sibt E Nabi Ka Kunba
This cloud of sorrow that has covered Medina, Have those princesses returned from a foreign land? Has the family of the Prophet's grandson returned safely?
Roke Abdullah Se Tab Hazrat E Zainab Ne Kaha
Then, weeping, Hazrat Zainab said to Abdullah:
Mai Hi Zainab Hu Masaeb Ne Mujhe Ghera Hai
I am that very Zainab, surrounded by calamities.
Aaj Tum Bhi Nahi Pehchante Chehra Mera
Today, even you do not recognize my face.
Mai Hi Zainab Hu Magar Aaj Hu Mai Kitni Ghareeb Legaya Nargha E Aada Mein Mujhe Mera Naseeb Aur Mere Paas Na Mehmil Thi, Na Maqna, Na Reda
I am Zainab, but today I am so destitute, My fate led me into the siege of the enemy, And I had no litter, no head-covering, no cloak.
Sue Maqtool E Jafa Dasht Mein Bachhe Mere Hadd To Ye Hai Ke Jalaye Gaye Khaime Mere Jal Gaya Sholo'n Mein Besheer Ka Nanha Jhoola
My children are in the desert, towards the unjustly slain, The limit of it is that my tents were set on fire, The infant's small cradle burned in the flames.
Rukn E Sarwar Ne Mala Khoon Ali Asghar Ka Dekha Barchi Mein Jigar Maine Ali Akbar Ka Saamne Mere Kata Hai Mere Bhai Ka Gala
The pillar of the leader (Hussain) was stained with Ali Asghar's blood, I saw the liver of Ali Akbar on the spear, Before my eyes, my brother's throat was severed.
Kahu Kis Tarha Bandhi Thi Mere Shano Pe Rasan Kaise Batlau Mai Wo Shaam Ke Zindaa'n Ki Ghutan Hogayi Khaak Ka Pewand Sakina Dukhiya
How can I tell how ropes were tied to my shoulders? How can I describe the suffocation of the prison of Sham? Poor Sakina has become one with the dust.
Kya Kahe Nayyar O Amir Wo Bhala Ghum Ka Sama Wo Madina Ki Fiza Ho Ya Ho Zainab Ki Fugha Uth Rahi Thi Dar O Deewar Se Nauho Ki Sadaa
What can Nayyar and Amir say of that scene of grief, Whether it be the atmosphere of Medina or the lament of Zainab, The sound of mourning was rising from the doors and walls.
