Baba Mere Baba

Zainab Ka Tha Noha Baba Mere Baba

This was Zainab's lament: 'Father, my father'.

Main Zainab Hoon, Pehchano Zara

I am Zainab, please recognize me.

Kyun Sunte Nahi Beti Ki Sada

Main Zainab Hoon, Pehchano Zara

I am Zainab, please recognize me.

Hazrat Ka Musalla Hai Khaali, Kya Subah Qayamat Laayi Hai Suraj Ko Jagatey Thay Tum Toh, Ab Neend Yeh Kaisi Aayi Hai Main Kab Se Hilati Hoon Shana

Qurbaan Main Uski Ghairat Pe, Khamosh Tumhara Beta Hai Dehleez Pe Hujre Ki Kab Se, Sar Apna Jhukaye Baitha Hai Abbas Pe Taari Hai Sadma
