Meri Sakina Ko Neend Aa Rahi Hai

Kehdo Hawaon Se Aahista Aayein Kehdo Parindo Se Ghul Na Machayein Kehdo Andheron Se Wapas Na Jayein Jaagi Hui Chain Kuch Pa Rahi Hai

Tell the winds to blow softly, Tell the birds not to make a clamor, Tell the darkness not to depart, For she who has been awake is finally finding some peace.

Shayad Rasan Ki Aziyat Hui Kam Madham Karo Bibiyon Shor-E-Matam Sajjad Zanjeer Bole Na Is Dum Shayad Ghamon Ki Ghadi Ja Rahi Hai

Perhaps the agony of the ropes has lessened, Lower your voices, ladies, quiet the mourning, Sajjad, do not let your chains rattle at this moment, Perhaps the hour of sorrows is passing.

Zindan Ka Dar Zor Se Ab Na Kholo Ay Pehradaro Ab Aahista Bolo Tum Bhi To Jaage Ho Kuch Dayr So Lo Baba Ki Khusboo Isay Aa Rahi Hai

Mai Khush Hoo Ke Soyegi Meri Dulaari Mai Qurban Is Ke Mai Aab Is Ke Waari Bohat Seh Chuki Dukh Ye Ghazi Ki Pyari Magar Nafz Kuch Aur Batla Rahi Hai

I am happy that my darling will sleep, I am a sacrifice for her, I am devoted to her, This beloved of Ghazi has endured so much pain, But her pulse is telling something else.

Magar Ye Hua Kya Ke Zindan Roya Badan Rooh Ke Saath Bachi Ka Soya Na Jaagi Wo Abid Ne Shana Hilaya Aur Ab Maa Ye Kehte Bhi Sharma Rahi Hai

But what has happened that the prison wept? The child's body slept along with her soul, She did not wake when Abid shook her shoulder, And now the mother is even ashamed to say this.

Kahan Tak Likhunga Mai Rehaan Noha Kabhi Shaam Jaaun To Dekhun Wo Rauza Jahan Qaidi Bachi Ka Marqad Hai Tanha Jahan Maa Abhi Bhi Kahe Ja Rahi Hai

How much further shall I write this Noha, Rehaan? If I ever go to Shaam, I will see that shrine, Where the grave of the captive child is lonely, Where the mother is still saying:
