Baba Baba Mere Baba Namaze Shab Me Koi Baap Mangta Hai Dua Allah Allah Sukoone Dil Ke Liye Kar Muje Sakina Ata

Father, Father, my Father, In the night prayers, does any father pray for this? O Allah, O Allah, Grant me, Sakina, peace of heart.

Jor Kar Nanhay Se Haathon Ko Sakina Ne Kaha Kya Isi Din Ke Liye Mujh Ko Tha Manga Baba

Joining her tiny hands together, Sakina asked, Was it for this day that you had prayed for me, Father?

Jane Kyun Jashn Manate Hain Sata Kar Mujh Ko Apne Bachon Ko Hansate Hain Rula Kar Mujh Ko Shamiyon Ne Mere Rone Ko Tamasha Samjha

I do not know why they celebrate by tormenting me, They make their own children laugh by making me cry. The people of Sham considered my weeping a spectacle.

Baba Jaan Is Ka Sabab Kya Hai Khuda Hi Jane Fatima Naam Kisi Ko Jo Bataya Maine Be Jhijhak Us Ne Sakina Ko Tamacha Mara

Father, only God knows the reason for this, Whenever I told anyone my name was Fatima, Without hesitation, they slapped Sakina.

Aap Ne Eid Pe Jo Dur Mujhe Pehnaye The Shimr Ne Kaanon Se Is Tarah Wo Gohar Noche Dur Nahi, Khoon Bhi Hai Shimr Ke Haathon Mein Mera

The pearls you had adorned me with for Eid, Shimr tore those jewels from my ears in such a way, It was not just the pearls, but my blood too that was on Shimr's hands.

Qabr Tak Bhool Na Payegi Tumhari Beti Kaat Kar Ungli Tumhari Jo Angothi Kheenchhi Pehn Kar Us Ko Hi Zalim Ne Tamacha Mara

Your daughter will not be able to forget until the grave, How he cut your finger to pull off the ring, And wearing that very ring, the tyrant slapped me.

Khums Mein Maang Raha Hai Mera Bhai Chadar Shaam Ke Log Humein Maar Rahe Hain Pathar Aurtain Phenk Rahi Hain Meri Janib Sadqa

In the crowd, my brother is asking for a veil, The people of Sham are pelting us with stones, And the women are throwing charity in my direction.

Aap Ki Laash Ko Jis Tarah Se Pamaal Kiya Jeete Ji Mera Laeenon Ne Wahi Haal Kiya Baandh Kar Ghodon Se Paidal Mujhe Doraya Gaya

The way they trampled your corpse, The wretched ones did the same to me while I was alive, They tied me to horses and made me run on foot.

Us Ne Abbas Ke Badle Yun Sakina Se Liye Reh Gaye Haathon Mein Zalim Ke Kuch Baal Mere Mujh Ko Aaya Hi Nahi Koi Chhurane Wala

In exchange for Abbas, he took this from Sakina, Some of my hair remained in the tyrant's hands, And there was no one to come and rescue me.

Sun Ke Mohsin Yeh Buka Karte The Sab Arsh Nasheen Jo Sakina Thi Sukoon Us Ke Muqaddar Mein Nahi Khoon Mein Doobi Hai Tumhari Wo Tahajjud Ki Dua

Hearing this lament, Mohsin, all the dwellers of the Arsh wept, Sakina, for whom peace was not in her destiny, That prayer of your Tahajjud is now drenched in blood.
