Rukh Se Ik Baar Kafan Aur Hata Do Bhiya Mere Baba Ka Mujhe Chehra Dikha Do Bhiya

Brother, remove the shroud from His face just once, Brother, let me see my father's face.

Haye Haider Ke Janaze Pay Ajab Manzar Tha Betiyan Qadmon Se Lipti Theen Bsd Aah O Baqa Barh Ke Shabbir Ne Jo Chehray Se Kafan Band Kya Dekh Kar Bhai Ke Chehray Ko Yeh Zainab Ne Kaha

Alas, what a strange scene it was at Haider's funeral, Daughters were clinging to his feet with a hundred cries and laments. When Shabbir stepped forward and lifted the shroud from the face, Seeing her brother's face, Zainab said this.

Aaj Baba Jo Mere Ghar Se Chalay Jayengay Phir Mujhe Shaam-E-Gharibaan Mein Nazar Ayenge Itnay Din Kaisay Guzarungi Batado Bhiya

Today, when Baba leaves my home, I will only see Him again in the evening of the oppressed (Shaam-e-Gharibaan), Brother, tell me, how will I spend these days?

Jaisay Amma Ki Rida Mein Thi Shafa Nana Ki Kya Yeh Mumkin He Ke Aُth Jayen Mere Baba Bhi Meri Chadar Mere Baba Ko Udha Do Bhiya

Just as the Prophet's healing was in Mother's cloak, Is it possible that my Baba will also rise? Brother, drape my chadar over my Baba.

Khoon Baba Ki Jabeen Se Woh Gira Tha Jis Pay Apne Baba Ki Nishani Mein Bana Lungi Ussay Mere Baba Ka Musala Mujhe Lado Bhiya

The blood that fell from Baba's forehead, I will make it a keepsake of my father, Brother, bring me my Baba's prayer mat.

Kaisay Batlaon Yeh Dil Gham Se Phataa Jata He Kya Judda Baap Se Ho Kar Bhi Jiya Jata He Apni Behnoon Ko Faqat Itna Batado Bhiya

How can I explain that this heart is bursting with grief? Can one even live after being separated from a father? Brother, just tell your sisters this much.

Haye Shabir Se Zainab Ne Kaha Ro Rokar Sona Lagta He Amame Ke Bina Baba Ka Sir Sir Pay Baba Ke Amaamh To Sajado Bhiya

Alas, Zainab said to Shabbir while weeping, Baba's head looks lonely without the turban, Brother, adorn Baba's head with the turban.

Aarhi Baqiya Hongi Se Sada Sun Ke Meri Sir Pay Baba Ke Na Prhjaye Nazar Amma Ki Zakham Amma Ki Nighaoun Se Chupalo Bhiya

Hearing my cry, Mother will surely come from Baqi, May Mother's gaze not fall upon Baba's head, Brother, hide the wound from Mother's eyes.

Gham Mein Baba Ke Tadapta He Zara Dekho To Daur Betha He Bula Lao Mere Ghazi Ko Paas Kuch Der To Baba Ke Bithado Bhiya

Look at how he is suffering in grief for Baba, He is sitting far away, go call my Ghazi, Brother, make him sit near Baba for a while.

Ghar Se Jata Tha Janaza Jo Ali Ka Bahar Betiyan Kehti Theen Zeshaan O Raza Ro Rokar Aakhri Baar To Baba Se Milado Bhiya

When Ali's funeral was leaving the house, Zeshaan and Raza, the daughters were saying while weeping, Brother, let us meet Baba one last time.
