Shimr Ne Pehle Sakina Ko Dikhaya Khanjar

Kabhi Haider Ne Gala Rakha Kabhi Zahra Ne Kitne Masoom Pe Zalim Ne Chalaya Khanjar Baap Par Waar To Beti Pe Tamache Barse Jab Bhi Qatil Ka Sakina Ne Hataya Khanjar

Sometimes Haider shielded his throat, sometimes Zahra did, Yet the tyrant ran the dagger across such an innocent one. Strikes fell upon the father, and slaps rained down upon the daughter, Whenever Sakina tried to push away the killer's dagger.

Pher Kar Muh Ko Ali Kehne Lage Ya Zahra Itni Be Dardi Se Zalim Ne Phiraya Khanjar Wa Hussaina Ka Hua Shor Takallum Barpa Shimr Mukhtar Ke Jab Saamne Laaya Khanjar
