Bibi Zainab laments the tragic loss of her brother Abbas at Karbala and the immense suffering that followed for the family.
Haay Baba
Alas, Father
Mar Gaya Baba, Teri Zainab Ko Abbas Ka Marna Maar Gaya
Father, I am destroyed; the death of Abbas has destroyed your Zainab.
Bin Baazuon Ke Woh Ghazi Ka Ghoray Se Girna Maar Gaya
The falling of that Ghazi from his horse, without his arms, destroyed me.
Jab Khaimay Mein Aaye Shah-E-Umam, Haathon Mein Tha Bas Khaali Parcham Abbas Nahin Ab Aayega, Bhai Ka Yeh Kehna Maar Gaya
When the King of the Nations came to the tent, holding only an empty standard; the words of my brother that 'Abbas will not return' destroyed me.
Main Sher Ke Jaise Bhai Ka Pehchaan Nahin Paayi Laasha Qasim Ki Tarah Se Ghazi Ka Tukron Mein Bikharna Maar Gaya
I could not recognize the body of my lion-like brother; the way the Ghazi was scattered in pieces, like Qasim, destroyed me.
Jab Aankh Se Teer Nikaala Tha, Main Dekh Rahi Thi Khaimay Se Mere Ghazi Ka Khoon Sarwar Ke Haathon Se Tapakna Maar Gaya
When the arrow was pulled from his eye, I was watching from the tent; the sight of my Ghazi's blood dripping from Sarwar's hands destroyed me.
Yeh Shaam Ke Zalim To Apne Ghoron Ko Pilaate Hain Paani Haathon Mein Liye Khaali Koze, Bachon Ka Bhalakna Maar Gaya
These tyrants of Shaam give water to their horses; the sight of the children wailing with empty water-skins in their hands destroyed me.
Jab Se Yeh Suna Hai Ke Pyaasa Saqqa-E-Sakina Maara Gaya Ab Paani Nahin Mil Paaye Ga, Asghar Ka Samajhna Maar Gaya
Ever since I heard that the thirsty water-bearer of Sakina has been killed; the realization of Asghar that 'now water will not be found' destroyed me.
Zalim Ne Charhaya Tha Ran Mein Jis Nezay Par Abbas Ka Sar Us Nezay Se Baba, Meri Chaadar Ka Utarna Maar Gaya
The spear upon which the tyrant raised the head of Abbas in the battlefield; from that very spear, Father, the removal of my veil destroyed me.
Raahwaar Pe Ho Kar Bhi Jis Ke Khat Paon Zameen Par Kheenchte Thay Us Bhai Ka Asghar Jaisi Turbat Mein Simatna Maar Gaya
He, whose feet used to drag on the ground even while riding his horse; the way that brother was curled up in a grave like Asghar destroyed me.
Maqtal Mein Bohat Dhoonda Us Ne, Laasha Na Mila, Do Haath Mile Un Haathon Se Meri Bachi Ka Ro Ro Ke Lipatna Maar Gaya
He searched a lot in the battlefield, the body was not found, only two hands were found; the way my child wept and clung to those hands destroyed me.
Zeeshan Kaha, Yeh Zainab Ne Jab Shah Pe Chali Terah Zarbein Ghazi Ko Sadaayen De De Kar Bhai Ka Tadapna Maar Gaya
Zeeshan says, when Zainab saw thirteen blows struck upon the King; the way my brother writhed in agony while calling out to the Ghazi destroyed me.
