Gham Sakina Ko Mile

Mir Hasan Mir

A young girl named Sakina suffers great pain in a dark prison after the tragedy of Karbala. She remembers her father and the home she lost.

Gham Sakina Ko Mile Itne Musalmaanon Se

Sakina received so much grief from the Muslims.

Haaye Sakina Haaye Zindaan

Alas, Sakina! Alas, the prison!

Haye Mar Gayi Par Na Kabhi Haath Hate Kaanon Se... Haye

Alas, she died, but her hands never moved away from her ears.

Shaam Jaate Hue Naake Se Giri Yun Bacchi Mashk Ghazi Ki Giri Jaise Kate Shaanon Se.... Haye

As they went to Shaam, the child fell from the camel just as the water-skin of Ghazi fell when his shoulders were severed.

Chaunk Uthti Thi Madine Me Ye Kehkar Baano Koi Aawaz Mujhe Deta Hai Veeranon Se.....haye

In Medina, Bano would startle awake, saying, 'Someone is calling out to me from the desolate wilderness.'

Kitni Berahmi Se Zaalim Ne Utaare Wo Gauhar Shah Beti Ko Jo Pehnaaye The Armaanon Se.... Haye

With such cruelty, the tyrant tore off the jewels that the King (Hussain) had adorned his daughter with, with such love and longing.

Mujhko Kurte Me Hi Dafnana Sakina Ne Kaha Mat Kafan Mangna Aye Bhai Musalmaanon Se...haye

Sakina said, 'Bury me in my torn shirt; do not ask for a shroud from these Muslims, O brother.'

Koi Ghaibat Me Unhe Dekh Ke Khoon Rota Hai Rissta Rehta Hai Lahu Aaj Bhi Jin Kaanon Se....haye

Someone, seeing them in their absence, weeps tears of blood, for blood still trickles from those ears even today.

Sab Chale Jaate Hai Shabbir Ko Rokar Akbar Ek Bacchi Nhi Jaati Hai Azakhaanon Se....haye

Everyone leaves the mourning halls after weeping for Shabbir, Akbar, but one child never leaves.
