Ye Bayn Karti Thi Zainab Se Dukhtare Shabbir

The daughter of Shabbir (Hussain) was lamenting to Zainab.

Abhi Bhi Aankho'n Mein Yasrab Ki Hai Mere Tasweer Rehai Milne Mein Aakhir Hui Hai Kyu Takheer Khafa Hai Aaj Talak Mujhse Kyu Meri Taqdeer Khuli Fiza Ke Parindey Rula Rahe Hai Mujhe Watan Ki Yaad Musalsal Dila Rahe Hai Mujhe Dekhti Rehti Hu...dekhti Rehti Hu Har Roz Yahi Shaam Dhale

The image of Yasrab (Medina) is still in my eyes. Why is there such a delay in receiving our release? Why is my destiny still displeased with me today? The birds in the open sky are making me weep, They are constantly reminding me of my homeland. I keep watching... I keep watching, Every day as the evening falls.

Ye Parindey Kaha Jaate Hai Phuphi Shaam Dhale

Where do these birds go, Aunt, as the evening falls?

Ashiyana Hai Kahan Inka Bata Do Aye Phuphi Shab Ki Tareeki Guzarti Hai Kahan Par Inki Kyu Udaa Karte Hai... Kyu Udaa Karte Hai Ek Saath Sabhi Shaam Dhale

Tell me, Aunt, where is their nest? Where do they spend the darkness of the night? Why do they fly... Why do they all fly away together as the evening falls?

Dekh Kar Inko Mujhe Yaad Watan Ki Aaye Meri Aankho'n Mein Madine Ka Samaa Lehraaye Kaifiyat Aisi Hi... Kaifiyat Aisi Hi Hoti Hai Meri Shaam Dhale

Seeing them brings back memories of my homeland, The scene of Medina ripples before my eyes. Such is the state... Such is the state of my heart as the evening falls.

Bhool Jaati Mai Har Ek Gham Ko Sukoo Paa Jaati Unke Seene Pa Yaqeenan Mujhe Neend Aa Jaati Kaash Aajate Mere... Kaash Aajate Mere Baba Abhi Shaam Dhale

I would forget every sorrow and find peace, I would surely fall asleep on his chest. If only my father would come... If only my father would come right now as the evening falls.

Kya Batau Mai Bhala Hota Hai Kya Subha Masaa Aye Phuphi Haal Bura Hota Hai Nanhe Dil Ka Yaad Aate Hi Rukhe... Yaad Aate Hi Rukhe Sibt E Nabi Shaam Dhale

How can I describe what happens to me morning and evening? Oh Aunt, the condition of my little heart is terrible. As soon as I remember the face... As soon as I remember the face of the Prophet's grandson as the evening falls.

Kya Watan Laut Ke Jaana Meri Qismat Mein Nahi Lag Raha Hai Meri Qismat Hai Ye Zindaa Ki Zamee'n Roz Ye Sochti... Roz Ye Sochti Rehti Hu Phuphi Shaam Dhale

Is returning to my homeland not in my destiny? It seems my destiny is this land of the prison. Every day I keep thinking... Every day I keep thinking this, Aunt, as the evening falls.

In Se Kehdo Ke Yaha'n Se Kabhi Guzra Na Kare Apni Aazadi Mujhe Aake Dikhaya Na Kare Baat Ye Dukhtare... Baat Ye Dukhtare Sarwar Ne Kahi Shaam Dhale

Tell them not to pass by here ever again, They should not come and show me their freedom. These words the daughter... These words the daughter of the Master (Hussain) said as the evening fell.

Phir Jawaban Ye Kaha Binte Ali Ne Paikar Mai Batati Hu Tumhe Aye Meri Sheh Ki Dukhtar Apne Ghar Jaate Hai... Apne Ghar Jaate Hai Ye Log Sabhi Shaam Dhale

Then, in response, the daughter of Ali said with composure, 'I will tell you, oh daughter of my King (Hussain), They are going to their homes... These people all go to their homes as the evening falls.'
