Haan Ye Hai Shehr-e-Shaam

Choti Shehzaadi Ka He Yahin Par Qayam, Aaj Roze Pe He Roshni Subho Shaam, Pursa Daaron Ka He Maatmi Azhdahan, Phat Raha He Jigar Sochta Hun Agar, Kaisa Tareeq Tha, Kaisa Weeran Tha, Kaisa Weeran Tha Kal Ye Zindaan Tha, Bara Roi Sakina Yahaan

The young princess once stayed right here. Today, there is light at her shrine from morning till evening, and a massive crowd of mourners gathers. My heart tears apart when I think of how dark and desolate it was—how desolate this prison was yesterday, where Sakina wept so bitterly.

Dekh Kar Binte Zehra Ka Yun Sar Khula, Noke Neza Se Ghazi Ka Sar Girgaya, Haye Ghazi Ki Ghairat Ka Ye Imtehaan, Sar Patakne Lagi Saari Shehzadiyan, Bara Roi Sakina Yahaan

Ik Qayamat Si Darbar Mein Aagayi, Jab Sakina Kaneezi Mein Mangi Gayi, Na Padar Na Chacha Bhai Bhi Natawa, Tori Sajjad Ghaiz Mein Beriyan, Bara Roi Sakina Yahaan

Boli Kya Haal Apna Bataaoun Tujhe, Chhor Ke Jabse Baba Gaye Hein Mujhe, Mein Yateem Hogayi Aur Kya Ho Bayaan, Meri Gardan Mein Bandhi Gayi Rassiyan, Bara Roi Sakina Yahaan
