Haye Baba, Haye Baba Haye Baba, Haye Baba

Alas, O Father, Alas, O Father Alas, O Father, Alas, O Father

Kalma Goyo May Hui Haye Akeli Zahra

Alas, amidst those who recite the Kalma, Zahra has become alone

Sarey Darbar Gayi Baba Jhutlai Gayi Aap Ki Beti Zahra

I went before the entire court Father, I was called a liar Your daughter, Zahra

Kar Kay Tehreer Kay Tukde Mujhe Lotaya Gaya Mere Masoom Gawahon Ko Bhi Jhutlaya Gaya Kehkahey Sehti Rahi Aur Sanad Chunti Rahi Aap Ki Sachi Zahra

The written deed was torn to pieces and returned to me My innocent witnesses were also dismissed as liars I endured their laughter while gathering the evidence Your truthful Zahra

Jis Gali May Mujhe Zalim Nay Tamacha Mara Jeety Jee Mera Hasan Na Wahan Say Guzra Wo Na Bhulay Ga Kabhi Us Say Dekhi Na Gayi Khaak Pey Girti Zahra

In the alley where the tyrant struck me My Hasan never passed through there while alive He will never forget, he could not bear to see Zahra falling to the dust

Zakham Pahlu Ka To Bacho Say Chupaya Baba Per Yeh Sadma Mujhe Turbat May Bhi Tarpaye Ga Jab Tamachay Khaye Dekha Bacho Nay Mere Rook Na Payi Zahra

I hid the wound on my side from the children, Father But this trauma will torment me even in the grave When my children saw me being struck Zahra could not hold back her tears

Aap Ki Zahra Thi Jalty Hue Dar Ke Nichy Aur Hasntey Hue Us Per Say Musalma Guzray Thukren Khaati Rahi Ya Ali Kahti Rahi Baba Tumhari Zahra

Your Zahra was beneath the burning door And the Muslims passed over it while laughing I kept stumbling, kept calling out 'Ya Ali' Father, your Zahra

Pasliyan Toot Kay Uljhi Hain Kuch Aese Baba Saans Leti Hun To Dukhta Hay Kaleja Mera Hain Shikasta Bazoo Kar Nahi Sakti Wazu Zakhmi Hay Itni Zahra

My ribs have broken and tangled in such a way, Father That my heart aches whenever I take a breath My arm is broken, I cannot perform Wudu Zahra is so wounded

Mujh Say Kehne Lagi Zainab Aey Zaeefa Bibi Yeh Hay Konain Ki Malka Ka Musallah Bibi Aesi Halat Thi Meri Woh Na Pehchan Saki Saamne Bethi Zahra

Zainab said to me, 'O frail lady, This is the prayer mat of the Queen of the Worlds, Bibi' My condition was such that she could not recognize Zahra sitting right before her

Maikh Jaltay Hue Darwazay Ki Jab Surkh Hui Mere Pahlu Say Wo Mohsin Kay Badan May Utri Haye Dam Toor Gaya Wo Mujhe Choor Gaya Zinda Hay Phir Bhi Zahra

When the nail of the burning door turned red It pierced through my side into the body of Mohsin Alas, he breathed his last and left me behind Yet Zahra still lives

Qabar E Zahra Ki Khamoshi Yeh Buqa Karti Hay Mera Mohsin Hay Ju Parday May Mera Mehdi Hay Ab Fidak Ki Khaatir Apne Haq Ki Khaatir Kuch Na Kahegi Zahra

The silence of Zahra's grave proclaims this My Mohsin is in the veil, he is my Mehdi Now for the sake of Fadak, for the sake of her rights Zahra will say nothing more
