Na Milenga Tuje Shabbir Sa Bhayi

You will not find a brother like Shabbir (Hussain).

Na Milenga Na Milenga Na Milenga Tujhe Shabbir Sa Bhai Zainab

You will not find, you will not find, You will not find a brother like Shabbir, O Zainab.

Dhundhne Jayegi Gar Sari Khudai Zainab Na Milenga Tujhe Shabbir Sa Bhai Zainab

Even if the entire world were to search, O Zainab, It would not find a brother like Shabbir, O Zainab.

Aapne Ashko Se Jala Jala Shame Gariba Ke Chirag Tu Hai Atthara Chirago Ki Ekai Zainab

By lighting the lamps of the night of desolation (Shaam-e-Ghariban) with your own tears, You are the unity of eighteen lamps, O Zainab.

Jene Keya Shame Gariba Me Sitam Tute Hai Umar Bhar Chain Se Fir So Nahi Pai Zainab

The oppression that broke upon you on the night of desolation, After that, Zainab could never sleep in peace for the rest of her life.

Do Pisar Tune To Do Bazu Diye Gazi Ne Pahle To Rasume Wafa Tune Nibhai Zainab

You gave two sons, and Ghazi (Abbas) gave his two arms, First, you fulfilled the traditions of loyalty, O Zainab.

Surkh Ye Kiske Lahoo Se Hui Poshak Teri Lash Keya Sine Se Akbar Ki Lagai Zainab

With whose blood did your garment become red? Did you press the body of Akbar to your chest, O Zainab?

Pani Ko Dekh Ke Kyukar Na Jigar Tukde Ho Kha Gai Hai Tere Gazi Ko Tarai Zainab

How could your heart not shatter at the sight of water? The thirst has consumed your Ghazi, O Zainab.

Hay Kis Shan Se Nikli Thi Watan Se Zainab Kaisi Gurbat Ko Samete Huye Aai Zainab

Alas, with what dignity Zainab had left her homeland, And with what desolation she returned, O Zainab.

Ruhe Abbas Alamdar Na Tadpe Kyukar Be Rida Shaam Ke Darbar Me Aai Zainab

How could the soul of Abbas the Standard-bearer not writhe in agony? When Zainab entered the court of Shaam without her veil.

Beyth Kar Laash-E-Sakina Pe Ye Abid Ne Kaha Maar Dala Unhe Baba Ki Judaayi, Zainab

Sitting by the body of Sakina, Abid (Imam Sajjad) said, The separation from her father killed her, O Zainab.

Dhundhne Jayegi Gar Sari Khudai Zainab Na Milenga Na Milenga

Even if the entire world were to search, O Zainab, It will not find, it will not find.
