Dooba Lahu Me Laut Ke Aaya Jo Zuljanah

Mesum Abbas

A young girl waits for her father to return from the battlefield. Instead, his horse comes back alone, covered in blood and arrows.

NohaShahadat Hussain

Dooba Lahu Me Laut Ke, Aaya Jo Zuljanah

Drenched in blood, the Zuljanah has returned

Samjhi Sakina Baba Ko, Laaya He Zuljanah Dekhi Jo Zeen Khaali Toh, Karne Lagi Ye Bayn

Sakina thought the Zuljanah had brought her father back, But seeing the empty saddle, she began to lament

Zuljanah, Zuljanah Zuljanah, Zuljanah, Kuch Toh Bata Mujhko Zuljanah

Zuljanah, Zuljanah, Zuljanah, Zuljanah, tell me something, Zuljanah

Jo Gaya He Ghar Se Aa Nahi Saka… Haye Zuljana, Haye Zuljanah Shaam Hogaye He, Din Guzar Gaya… Haye Zuljana, Haye Zuljanah

He who left home could not return... Alas, Zuljanah, alas Zuljanah, Evening has fallen, the day has passed... Alas, Zuljanah, alas Zuljanah

Kyun Teri Bage Kateen Zulm Kya Huwa Khoon Se Tar He Jabeen Zulm Kya Huwa

Why are your reins severed, what cruelty has occurred? Your forehead is soaked in blood, what cruelty has occurred?

Kyun He Zeen Khali, Baba He Kahaan… Haye Zuljana (2X) Pusht Kyun He Zakhmi, Khoon He Rawaan… Haye Zuljana (2X)

Why is the saddle empty, where is my father?... Alas, Zuljanah, Why is your back wounded, and blood flowing?... Alas, Zuljanah

Mere Baba Ke Wafadar Kuch Bata De Mujhe Sabr Aur Karaar Kuch Bata

O loyal companion of my father, tell me something, Give me some patience and peace, tell me something

Teer He Badan Par Tere Jaa Ba Jaa… Haye Zuljana (2X) Kyun Nahi Bata-Ta, Kya Sitam Huwa… Haye Zuljana (2X)

There are arrows all over your body... Alas, Zuljanah, Why won't you tell me what tragedy has occurred?... Alas, Zuljanah

Teri Khamoshi Me He Gham Ki Kya Khabar Kya Me Samjhun Ke Juda Hogaye Padar

What news of grief is hidden in your silence? Should I understand that my father has been separated from me?

Haath Jorh Kar Me Keh Rahi Thi Naa… Haye Zuljana (2X) Ji Sakungi Kayse Baap Ke Bina… Haye Zuljana (2X)

I was begging you with folded hands, 'No'... Alas, Zuljanah, How will I be able to live without my father?... Alas, Zuljanah

Ab Jo Dunya Me Mere Baba Na Rahe Kon Seene Pe Sulaye Ga Ab Mujhe

Now that my father is no longer in this world, Who will lull me to sleep on their chest now?

Uth Gaya Jo Sar Se Saaya-E-Padar… Haye Zuljana (2X) Soye Gi Sakina Kayse Khaak Par… Haye Zuljana (2X)

Now that the shadow of my father has been lifted from my head... Alas, Zuljanah, How will Sakina sleep on the dust?... Alas, Zuljanah

Shimr Le Jayega Ab Baaliya Meri Haye Saadat Ki Chadar Bhi Chiney-Gi

Shimr will now take away my earrings, Alas, the veil of the Prophet's family will also be snatched

Qatl Ho Gaya Kya Fatima Ka Laal… Haye Zuljana (2X) Ye Dukhi Sakina Ho Ke Pur Malaal… Haye Zuljana (2X)

Has the son of Fatima been martyred?... Alas, Zuljanah, This sorrowful Sakina is filled with grief... Alas, Zuljanah

Tujh Se Ro-Ro Ke Kar Rahi Thi Ilteja Mere Baba Ko Suu-E-Dasht Na Leja

I was pleading with you while weeping, 'Do not take my father toward the desert'

Har Taraf He Laashey, Har Taraf Lahoo… Haye Zuljana (2X) Dhundu Me Padar Ko, Kayse Chaar-Su… Haye Zuljana (2X)

There are corpses everywhere, blood everywhere... Alas, Zuljanah, How can I search for my father in every direction?... Alas, Zuljanah

Ayse Be-Dard La'eeno Ke Darmiyaan Tu Bata Laashe Padar Paaungi Kahaan

Amidst such heartless, cursed people, Tell me, where will I find the body of my father?

Bayn Be-Khata Ke Sun Ke Ro Diya… Haye Zuljana (2X) Sar Jhuka Ke Apna Ran Ko Chal Diya… Haye Zuljana (2X)

Hearing the innocent lament, he wept... Alas, Zuljanah, Bowing his head, he walked toward the battlefield... Alas, Zuljanah

Kya Kahein Mesum Aur Mazhar Abidi Keh Ke Ye Khaak Par Sakina Gir Gayi

What can Mesum and Mazhar Abidi say? Saying this, Sakina collapsed onto the dust
