Sakina, Sakina

Sakina Shaam Mein Mar Kar Yehi Samja Geyi Logo Judaye Baap Kay Seene Ki Muj Ko Kha Geyi Logo

By dying in Shaam, Sakina taught us this, O people: The separation from my father's chest Has consumed me, O people.

Khafas Ghurbat, Udasi Shimr Ka Dar Pyaas Ki Shiddat Sitam Itne Huwe Masoom Ku Maut Aa Geyi Loogo

The prison, the exile, the sorrow, the fear of Shimr, the intensity of thirst; So many cruelties befell the innocent one that death finally came, O people.

Wo Ma Jo Dhoop Mein Akhsar Ali Asghar Ko Roti Thi Sakina Ki Khaza Us Par Kayamat Dhaa Geyi Logo

The mother who often wept for Ali Asghar in the scorching sun, Sakina's passing brought a new apocalypse upon her, O people.

Bandhe Haatho Pe Aik Meemar Laya Behan Ki Mayyit Ye Aulad E Nabi Par Kaise Ghurbat Chaa Geyi Logo

Upon bound hands, a builder brought the sister's corpse; How such profound misery descended upon the Prophet's progeny, O people.

Behan Ki Laash Hatho Pe Liye Sajjad Kehte Thay Gulistan E Imamat Ki Kali Murjha Geyi Logo Padar Ki Khoo Bhari Gardan Pe Bacchi Ne Jo Lab Rakhay Yeh Manzar Deekh Kar Khud Khaza Ghabra Geyi Logo Chacha Baba Baradar Sab Ke Sab Tou Karbala Sooye Sakina Ko Na Jaane Shaam Kaise Dhaa Geyi Logo

Holding his sister's body in his hands, Sajjad said: The bud of the garden of Imamat has withered, O people. When the child placed her lips upon her father's blood-stained neck, Seeing this sight, even Death itself was terrified, O people. Uncle, father, brothers—all of them sleep in Karbala; I know not how Shaam destroyed Sakina, O people.
