O Lady, O Pure One, alas, Mother Zahra.
Hasan Hussain Ki Zakhmi Ghareeb Maa Zahra. Tamachay Khati Hai Beton Ke Darmiyaan Zahra.
The wounded, lonely mother of Hasan and Hussain, Zahra. Zahra endures slaps while standing between her sons.
Kamar Ke Sath Shikasta Hoye Hain Bazu Bhi. Tumhari Tooti Nahi Sirf Pasliyaan Zahra.
Along with your back, your arms were also broken. It was not just your ribs that were shattered, Zahra.
Jo Sans Leti Hai Pehlu Mein Dard Bharta Hai. Keh Ab Tu Le Bhi Nahi Sakti Hichkiyaan Zahra.
Every breath you take fills your side with pain, For now, you cannot even draw a sobbing breath, Zahra.
Tamacha Mara Hai Zalim Ne Iss Tarha Tum Ko. Zameen Pe Toot Ke Bikhari Hain Baliyaan Zahra.
The oppressor struck you with such force, That your earrings broke and scattered upon the ground, Zahra.
Hasan Hi Jane Keh Masjid Se Ghar Tak Aate Hoye. Tamachay Kha Ke Giri Hai Kahan Kahan Zahra.
Only Hasan knows, on the way back from the mosque to the house, How many times Zahra fell after being struck.
Chupaye Kaisay Ali Ki Nigah Se Fizza. Tere Lahu Se Bhira Hai Tera Makaan Zahra.
How can Fizza hide it from Ali's gaze? Your house is filled with your blood, Zahra.
Kuch Our Hai Dushwari Sans Lainay Mein. Kahin Jo Sunti Hai Bachoon Ki Siskiyaan Zahra.
There is an added difficulty in breathing, Whenever Zahra hears the sobbing of her children.
Ali Se Poch Rahe Hain Hussain Rotay Hoye. Kya Taziyane Ke Qabil Hai Meri Maa Zahra.
Hussain asks Ali, while weeping, 'Is my mother, Zahra, worthy of being lashed?'
Koi Salam Ka Deta Nahi Jawab Ossay. Hai Tanha Fatah-E-Khaybar Ki Qadar Daan Zahra.
No one returns her greeting of peace, Zahra, the one who cherished the Conqueror of Khaybar, is left alone.
Bacha Ke Layi Hai Khanjar Talay Se Apna Imam. Bari Ameer Thi Zainab Tumhari Maa Zahra.
She saved her Imam from beneath the dagger, Zainab's mother, Zahra, was truly wealthy (in spirit/sacrifice).
Hussain Tadpe Takallum Na Kyun Tah-E-Khanjar. Tumhare Hath Pe Durron Ke They Nishaan Zahra.
Why would Hussain not writhe in agony beneath the dagger, Takallum? When upon your hands were the marks of the lashes, Zahra.
