Bhaiyya Ghareeb Zainab Tera Kafan Na Laayi

O Brother, Lonely Zainab Did Not Bring You A Kafan.

Laashe Hussain Par Hai Zainab Ki Ye Duhaayi

Upon the body of Hussain is this cry of Zainab!

Misle Batool Haqq Se Mahroom Hoon Main Ab Tak Shabbir Tere Gham May Maghmoom Hoon Main Ab Tak Tadpa Rahi Hai Mujhko ‘Abbas Ki Judaai

Like Batool, I remain deprived of my rights to this day. O Shabbir, I remain consumed by the grief of your loss to this day. The separation from Abbas continues to torment me.

Afsos Ke Sakina Naazon Se Jo Pali Hai Jo Tumko Yaad Karke Zindan May Chal Basi Hai Usko Mili Na Bhaiyya Zindan Se Rehaai

Alas, Sakina, who was raised with such tenderness, She passed away in the prison while remembering you. She never received her release from the prison, O brother.

Humpar Sitam Ay Bhaiya Dhaate Rahe Sitamgar Saydaniyo Ke Sar May Aati Thi Khaak Udkar Bazaar Ka Wo Manzar Zainab Na Bhool Paayi

O brother, the oppressors kept inflicting cruelty upon us. Dust would blow onto the heads of the noble ladies (Sayyedas). Zainab has not been able to forget that scene of the bazaar.

Haaton Se Moo(n) Chupakar Bazaar Mein Gayi Thi Narghe Mein Ashkiyaan Ke, Be-Parda Main Khadi Thi Guzri Hai Kya Behen Par Kaise Bataun Bhai

I walked through the bazaar covering my face with my hands. Surrounded by the cruel mob, I stood unveiled. How can I tell you, brother, what your sister has endured?

Sabse Bari Musibat Kya Hai Kisi Ne Poocha Bemaar Sar Jhuka Kar Rote Huwe Ye Bola Is Ek Saanahe Par Aksar Mohib Ne Socha Barbaad Hogaya Jab Aale Nabi Ka Kunba Baad E Hussain Kyun Kar Baaqi Rahi Khudaayi

When someone asked what the greatest tragedy was, The sick one (Imam Sajjad) lowered his head and wept as he said: 'The sisters being taken to Shaam, and seeing Zainab without her veil.' Upon this one tragedy, Mohib often wondered: When the family of the Prophet was destroyed, Why did the creation remain after Hussain?
