Sir Dekh Ke Shabbir Ka Shereen Ne Pukara

Syed Raza Abbas Zaidi

Shereen waits for years to see her master Imam Hussain. When the caravan arrives in Sham, she is devastated to see only his severed head.

NohaZindan Shaam

Haye... Haye..

Alas... Alas...

Jab Shereen Ke Ghr Kafela Shabir Ka Aya Zainab Se Kaha Kaun Ho Batlao Zaiefa Hum Sheer Hu Shabir Ki Zainab Ne Pukara Milne Ke Liye Aie Hai Tujse Tere Maula

When the caravan of Shabbir arrived at Shereen's home, She asked Zainab, 'Who are you, tell me, O elderly lady?' 'I am the sister of Shabbir,' Zainab cried out, 'I have come to meet you, your Master has come to see you.'

Wada Jo Kiya Apne Mai Bhool Na Paie Is Gar Me Wo Ghr Chor Ke Jis Din Se Hu Aie Taqti Hu Usi Roz Se Mai Apka Rasta

The promise you made, I could not forget, Since the day I left that home to come to this one, From that very day, I have been watching the path for you.

Wo Bate Rulati Hai Jo Yasrab Me Hui Thi Ab Aya Samaj Apne Q Chadaren Di Thi Be Parda Nabi Zadiya Hai Sath Me Maula

Those conversations from Yathrib (Medina) make me weep, Now I understand why you gave me those veils, The granddaughters of the Prophet are unveiled with you, my Master.

Bais Baras Shereen Ne Kis Tarha Guzare Din Raat Isi Soch Me Kat Te The Hamare Ek Roz Zarur Aienge Maula Ka Hai Wada

How Shereen spent these twenty-two years, Day and night were spent in this very thought, That one day, surely, the Master will come, for it is His promise.

Do Saal Ke Sajjad The Bhuli Nhi Shereen Phuphiya Jo Kabhi Aie Toh Akhe Nhi Kholi Be Parda Hui Phuphiya Toh Kis Tarha Se Dekha

Sajjad was two years old, Shereen has not forgotten, When the aunts came, she did not open her eyes, How did she see them when they were unveiled?

Akbar Ki Wiladat Ka Suna Jis Ghadi Maine Bus Me Jo Mere Hota Hai Ajati Madine Mil Paie Na Akbar Se Ye Afsos Rahenga

The moment I heard of Akbar's birth, If it had been in my power, I would have come to Medina, That I could not meet Akbar will remain a regret.

Sunti Thi Ke Ek Apki Beti Hai Sakina Socha Tha Ke Sath Aiengi Jab Aienge Aka Jis Tarha Se Woh Aie Hai Dekha Nahi Jata

I used to hear that you have a daughter, Sakina, I thought she would come with you when you, my Master, arrived, The way she has come, it is unbearable to look at.

Maqtal Me Bhala Aap Pe Kya Zulm Hue Hai Wo Baal Mere Samne Matti Me Ate Hai Jin Balo Ko Khud Fatima Zehra Ne Sawara

What cruelties were inflicted upon you in the battlefield? Those hairs are coming into the dust before me, The very hair that Fatima Zahra herself used to groom.

Mathe Ka Lahu Apki Ankho Me Bhara Hai Chuma Tha Muhammad Ne Jo Wo Khush Gala Hai Hai Reesh Mubarak Me Lahu Apke Maula

The blood from your forehead has filled your eyes, That blessed throat which Muhammad used to kiss, There is blood in your blessed beard, my Master.

Zeeshan O Raza Kehti Thi Shereen Yehi Ro Ke Aie Kash Mai Mar Jati Ye Din Ane Se Pehle Hai Apka Sir Aaj Mere Samne Rakhna

Zeeshan and Raza, Shereen was saying this while weeping, 'I wish I had died before this day came, That today your head is placed before me.'
