Kia Kia Sitam Guzar Gaye

Kia Kia Sitam Guzar Gaye

Syed Raza Abbas Zaidi · 2019

Little Zainab notices her mother, Bibi Fatima, looking very sad and weak after returning from the mosque. She gently asks her mother why she is crying and why her appearance has changed so much.

Haye Zahra, Haye Zahra

Alas, Zahra! Alas, Zahra!

Masjid Se Ghar Mein Laut Ke, Jab Aayi Sayyeda Zainab Ne Maa Ka Haal Jo Dekha To Ye Kaha

When the Lady (Sayyeda) returned home from the mosque, Upon seeing her mother's condition, Zainab asked this:

Kya Kya Sitam Guzar Gaye, Ek Din Mein Aap Par Amma Bataiye, Haye Amma Bataiye

What atrocities have befallen you in just one day? Mother, tell me, alas, Mother, tell me.

Baalo Ka Rang Badla Hai, Kyu Jhuk Gayi Kamar

The color of your hair has changed, why has your back bent?

Kyu Kar Chupaye Rakha Hai Kya Dil Mein Dard Hai Kyu Chehra Zard Hai Halat Tumhari Dekh Ke Lagta Hai Mujhko Darr

Why do you keep it hidden? What pain is in your heart? Why is your face pale? Seeing your condition, I feel afraid.

Bus Muskurate Dekha Tha Humne Tumhe Sadaa Batlao Kya Hua Aankhein Hui Hai Aapki, Kyu Aasuo'n Se Tarr

We had always seen you smiling. Tell me what happened? Why are your eyes Drenched in tears?

Maine Suna Hai Masjid Mein Rulwaya Aapko Jhutlaya Aapko Kya Baat Dil Pe Lag Gayi, Uthta Nahi Jo Sar

I have heard that in the mosque, they made you weep, They denied your truth. What words struck your heart so deeply, that you cannot lift your head?

Dar Pe Hamare Pehle To Aate The Subh O Shaam Karne Ko Sab Salaam Nana Ke Baad Phera Hai, Ummat Ne Rukh Kidhar

Before, they used to come to our door morning and evening, To offer their salutations. Since the passing of my Grandfather, where has the Ummah turned its face?

Baba Ka Raaj Hota To Ye Ghum Na Jhelti Ye Din Na Dekhti Haq Cheena Mere Baba Ka, Ummat Ne Kyu Magar

If my Father's rule had prevailed, you would not have endured this grief, You would not have seen this day. Why did the Ummah usurp my Father's right?

Kya Dard Hai Jo Aapko, Har Dum Rulata Hai Dil Dooba Jaata Hai Kyu Roz Jaake Roti Hai, Nana Ki Qabr Par

What is the pain that makes you weep every moment? My heart is sinking. Why do you go and weep every day at my Grandfather's grave?

Ashko Ki Is Rawani Ne, Zainab Ko Aye Raza Sab Kuch Bata Diya Zehra Khamosh Hogayi, Jab Is Sawaal Par

This flow of tears, O Raza, told Zainab Everything. Zahra fell silent, at this question.

Haye Zahra, Haye Zahra

Alas, Zahra! Alas, Zahra!
