Tha Khaimo Me Kohraam Bapa

There was a great lamentation in the tents.

Sabran Zainab Maghmoom Thi Saari Karbobala Shabbir Salame Akhir Ko Aae To Yahi Thi Labpe Sada Sabran Zainab Zainab Zainab Zainab Zainab

Patience, Zainab. All of Karbala was grief-stricken. When Shabbir came for his final farewell, this was the cry upon his lips: Patience, Zainab. Zainab, Zainab, Zainab, Zainab.

Sabran Sabran Ya Zainab

Patience, patience, O Zainab.

Hai Peshe Nazar Khaliq Ki Reza Har Laash Uthakar Laata Hu Hai Tere Hawale Zarf O Niba Mai Janibe Maqtal Jata Hu Jab Akhri Rukhsat Ko Aae Shabbir Ne Ye Zainab Se Kaha

The pleasure of the Creator is before my eyes. I bring back every martyr's body. I entrust to you the vessel of patience and endurance, As I head toward the battlefield. When he came for the final farewell, Shabbir said this to Zainab.

Sab Margae Meri Baari Hai Ab Teri Ye Zimmedari Hai Roye Na Sakina Mere Bina Ye Bachi Jaan Se Pyari Hai Pamaal Sue Aspaa Hoga Zainab Tere Bhayya Ka Lasha

Everyone has passed, now it is my turn. Now this responsibility is yours. Do not let Sakina cry without me, This child is dearer than life itself. Trampled by horses it will be, Zainab, the body of your brother.

Mai Jaata Hu Maqtal Ki Taraf Ab Naizo Me Talwaro Me Paigham Mera Pohchana Hai Darbaro Me Bazaro Me Mazloom Hamesha Zinda Hai Allah Ka Rahega Naam Sada

I am going towards the battlefield, Now amidst the spears and swords. My message must be delivered, In the courts and in the bazaars. The oppressed one is always alive, And the name of Allah will remain forever.

Ae Zainab Mai Zinda Hu Abhi Ankho Me Nahaye Tere Nabi Sabir Ki Bahen Banke Rehna Ae Binte Nabi Ae Binte Ali Jab Shame Ghariba Aae Behen Ho Lab Pe Tere Shukran Shukran

O Zainab, I am still alive, The Prophet is bathing in your eyes. Remain the sister of the patient one, O daughter of the Prophet, O daughter of Ali. When the evening of the strangers comes, sister, May 'Shukran, Shukran' (Gratitude) be upon your lips.

Teero Pe Badann Hoga Mera Aegi Sadae Wawaila Awaaz Ye Hogi Amma Ki Aur Khaak Udaenge Nanaa Aur Baba Ali Ke Roze Par Jibreel Karenge Aaho Buka

My body will be upon the arrows, The cry of lamentation will arise. This will be the voice of Mother, And Grandfather will scatter dust in grief. And at the shrine of Father Ali, Gabriel will weep and wail.

Allah Nigehbaa Hai Tera Ai Binte Ali Binte Zehra Ye Ehle Jafa Ye Ehle Sitam Jab Cheen Le Tere Sar Se Rida Allah Ko Rakhna Apne Gawah Wo Malik Hai Maula Tera

Allah is your Protector, O daughter of Ali, daughter of Zahra. When these people of tyranny, these people of oppression, Snatch the veil from your head, Keep Allah as your witness, He is the Master, He is your Lord.

Akhir Ye Qayamat Ka Manzar Kis Tarha Sunaega Safdar Kese Ye Kahu Ae Ehle Aza Akho Me Lahu Phatta Hai Jigar Bhai Se Lipatkar Bibi Ne Jis Waqt Kaha Ab Na Kehna

In the end, this scene of doomsday, How will Safdar narrate it? How can I say, O mourners, Blood is in the eyes, the heart is bursting. Clinging to her brother, the Bibi, At the moment she said, 'Do not say anything more.'
