Main Zainab Hoon

Shaam E Ghareeba'n Khaak Pe Kunba Zakhmi Payro Se Chal Chalke Zainab Deti Hai Pehra Dekha Ke Sawaar Aata Hai Koi Zainab Yu Tadap Kar Chillayi Ab Lootne Ko Kya Hai Baaqi? Awaaz Sawaar Ki Ye Aayi Pehchan Tera Baba Hu Ali Baba Se Lipat Kar Di Ye Sada Ghar Ujad Gaya Mera Kuch Na Raha Mera Kuch Na Raha, Mera Kuch Na Raha

The evening of the strangers (Shaam-e-Ghareeban) The family is on the dust Walking with wounded feet Zainab keeps watch Seeing someone approach on horseback Zainab cried out in agony What is left to be looted now? The rider's voice replied: Recognize me, I am your father, Ali Clinging to her father, she cried out: My home is destroyed, nothing is left for me Nothing is left for me, nothing is left for me

Kaisi Ye Khiza'n Aayi Baba Mai Kuch Na Bacha Payi Baba Na Chadar Na Ghazi Baba Na Mera Raha Bhai Baba Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah Ghar Ujda Hai, Dil Rota Hai Hai Khoon Mein Tar Lashkar Saara

What kind of autumn has arrived, Father I could not save anything, Father Neither my veil nor Ghazi (Abbas), Father Nor did my brother remain, Father Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah The home is ruined, the heart is weeping The entire army is drenched in blood

Mai Bhen Athara Veeran Di Pardesich Baba Ujad Gayi Darda'n Di Maari Di Teri Hai Matamdar Bahattar Di Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah Meku De Pursa Maqtoolan Da Ujdi Ku Gal Gal Laa Baba

I am the sister of eighteen desolate ones In this foreign land, Father, I am ruined Stricken by pain, I am yours I am the mourner of the seventy-two Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah Give me condolences for the martyred Embrace this ruined daughter, Father

Ashoor Ka Din Aisa Guzra Aabad Chaman Barbaad Hua Pyasa Tanha Bhai Mera Pyaro Ke Laashe Laata Raha Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah Kayi Baar Gira, Gir Girke Utha Mazloom Ghareeb E Karbobala

The day of Ashura passed in such a way A flourishing garden was laid to waste My thirsty, lonely brother Kept bringing the bodies of his loved ones Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah He fell many times, and rising after falling The oppressed stranger of Karbala

Jado Ghazi Chadiya Ghode Ton Mere Muk Daye Naal Bhirawan De Teri Sharma Wali Zainab Nu Nayi Bhulne Dard Ridawan De Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah Baba, Baba, Meku Turna Sikha Me Wajnayi Shaam Nu Rassiya Pa

When Ghazi (Abbas) fell from his horse My support from my brothers ended Your modest Zainab Will not forget the pain of the ropes Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah Father, Father, teach me how to walk I have been tied with ropes to be taken to Shaam

Pardesi Allah Rasi Te Nayi Keeta Taras Zara Baba Na Maaro Wasite Dendi Rayi Quran Ko Sirte Jaa Baba Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah Nayi Bas Challiya Koi Ujdi De Mera Veer Laeena Dita

The stranger of Allah is on the ropes They showed no mercy at all, Father I kept pleading, 'Do not hit me' While the Quran was being raised on spears, Father Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah There is no end to the suffering of the ruined one They have taken my brother away

Ab Khaak Pe Hai Kunba Saara Ye Shame Ghareeba'n Hai Baba Khaime Bhi Jale Asbaab Luta Koi Na Raha Abid Ke Siwa Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah Waha'n Jashn Bapa Yaha'n Aaho Buka Ye Shaam Hai Shaam E Ashura

Now the entire family is on the dust This is the evening of the strangers, Father The tents have burned, the belongings looted No one remains except Abid (Imam Sajjad) Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah There, they celebrate; here, there is wailing This evening is the evening of Ashura

Na Ro Zainab Ye Bole Ali Aa Seene Se Lag Jaa Beti Kar Hausla Meri Shehzadi Abhi Shaam Ki Manzil Hai Baqi Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah Boli Dukhiya Tum Karna Dua Karna Hai Safar Bazaro Ka

'Do not weep, Zainab,' said Ali 'Come, embrace me, my daughter Have courage, my princess The destination of Shaam is still ahead' Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah The sorrowful one said, 'You pray for me I have to travel through the bazaars'
