Ajeeb Waqt Hai Yeh Fatima Ke Beton Pe Janaza Baba Ka Ghar Se Uthayen Woh Kaise Behan Ko Jab Bhi Chudate Hain Badh Ke Mayyat Se Woh Baar Baar Lipatti Hai Baap Se Jaake

What a strange time this is for the sons of Fatima. How can they lift their father's funeral bier from the house? Whenever they try to pull their sister away from the body, she rushes back and clings to her father again.

Margaya Baap Magar Manti Nahi Zainab Chudane Se Bhi Kafan Chhodti Nahi Zainab

The father has passed away, but Zainab will not accept it. Even when they try to pull her away, Zainab will not let go of the shroud.

Kabhi Woh Baba Ke Gaalon Pe Gaal Rakhti Hai Kabhi Woh Shane Hilati Hai Matha Chumti Hai Yateemi Kya Hai Abhi Jaanti Nahi Zainab Chudane Se Bhi Kafan Chhodti Nahi Zainab

Sometimes she rests her cheek against her father's cheek; sometimes she shakes his shoulders and kisses his forehead. Zainab does not yet know what it means to be an orphan. Even when they try to pull her away, Zainab will not let go of the shroud.

Qareeb Aake Kabhi Chehra Dekhte Hain Hussain Behan Ki Sanson Ki Aawaz Sun Rahe Hain Hussain Padar Se Lipti Hai Kuch Bolti Nahi Zainab Chudane Se Bhi Kafan Chhodti Nahi Zainab

Hussain comes close and looks at the face; Hussain listens to the sound of his sister's breathing. Zainab is clinging to her father and says nothing. Even when they try to pull her away, Zainab will not let go of the shroud.

Yeh Pehla Gham Hai Abhi Rok Le Behan Aansu Kaha Hussain Ne Zainab Ke Chum Kar Bazu Yeh Tera Kufay Mein Gham Aakhri Nahi Zainab Chudane Se Bhi Kafan Chhodti Nahi Zainab

This is the first grief, sister, hold back your tears now. Hussain said, kissing Zainab's arm. This grief of yours in Kufa is not the last, Zainab. Even when they try to pull her away, Zainab will not let go of the shroud.

Gire Jawan Ki Lashay Pe Jis Tarah Koi Giri Thi Baap Ki Mayyat Pe Is Tarah Beti Hassan Uthate Rahe Par Uthi Nahi Zainab Chudane Se Bhi Kafan Chhodti Nahi Zainab

Just as one falls upon the corpse of a youth, so the daughter fell upon the funeral bier of her father. Hassan kept trying to lift her, but Zainab would not rise. Even when they try to pull her away, Zainab will not let go of the shroud.

Yeh Roke Fizza Se Kehne Lage Hussain O Hassan Woh Zakhm Dekh Rahi Hai Hatake Hatake Kafan Shikasta Baap Ka Sar Bhoolti Nahi Zainab Chudane Se Bhi Kafan Chhodti Nahi Zainab

Weeping, Hussain and Hassan began to say to Fizza: She is looking at the wound by moving the shroud aside. Zainab cannot forget the broken head of her father. Even when they try to pull her away, Zainab will not let go of the shroud.

Nishani Baba Ki Seene Se Jab Lagayegi Usay Amamay Se Baba Ki Khushbu Aayegi Lahu Laga Hai Magar Ponchti Nahi Zainab Chudane Se Bhi Kafan Chhodti Nahi Zainab

When she presses the memento of her father to her chest, she will smell her father's scent from his turban. There is blood on it, but Zainab will not wipe it away. Even when they try to pull her away, Zainab will not let go of the shroud.

Madad Ko Aayen Baqee Se Fatima Zahra Woh Dekh Dekh Roti Hai Hai Baap Ka Chehra Abhi Kisi Ki Taraf Dekhti Nahi Zainab Chudane Se Bhi Kafan Chhodti Nahi Zainab

Fatima Zahra comes from Baqi to help; she looks and weeps at the face of her father. Zainab is not looking at anyone right now. Even when they try to pull her away, Zainab will not let go of the shroud.

Tumhari Aas Pe Jee Legi Ab Behan Abbas Qareeb Aake Chudado Tumhi Kafan Abbas Tumhara Kehna Kabhi Talti Nahi Zainab Chudane Se Bhi Kafan Chhodti Nahi Zainab

Sister will live now on your hope, Abbas. Come close and you yourself pull her away from the shroud, Abbas. Zainab never ignores what you say. Even when they try to pull her away, Zainab will not let go of the shroud.

Qareeb Aaye Jo Ghazi Behan Ne Choda Kafan To Bole Ghazi Se Zeeshan Aur Raza Yeh Hassan Tumhara Chehra Agar Dekhti Nahi Zainab Chudane Se Bhi Kafan Chhodti Nahi Zainab

When Ghazi came close, the sister let go of the shroud. Then Zeeshan and Raza say this to Ghazi: If Zainab does not see your face, she will not let go of the shroud.
