Ye Deti Hai Marqad Se Zahra Sada

Ameer Hasan Aamir

Bibi Fatima asks from her resting place why her grave has no shelter or roof to protect it from the sun. She questions why she was treated with such unkindness after the Prophet passed away.

Ya Zahra Ya Zahra Ya Zahra Ya Zahra

O Zahra, O Zahra, O Zahra, O Zahra

Ye Deti Hai Marqad Se Zehra Sada Meri Kabr Par Saayeba Kyu Nahi Hai

From her grave, Zahra calls out: "Why is there no shelter over my grave?"

Batao Musalmaano Meri Khata

Tell me, O Muslims, what was my fault?

Bataye Koi Kyu Na Mujhse Vafa Ki Mai Beti Nahi Kya Rasule Khuda Ki Mujhe Kis Liye Di Gayi Ye Saza

Let someone explain why they did not show loyalty to me. Am I not the daughter of the Messenger of God? For what reason was I given this punishment?

Na Rahne Diya Chaen Se Kyu Daher Me Lagaayi Gayi Aag Kyu Mere Ghar Me Sataya Gaya Kyu Mujhe Bekhata

Why was I not allowed to live in peace in this world? Why was fire set to my house? Why was I tormented despite being innocent?

Meri Bekasi Pe Tadapta Hai Suraj Mera Marseeya Roz Padhta Hai Suraj Mai Taaba Qayamat Karugi Gila

The sun agonizes over my helplessness; the sun recites my elegy every day. I will continue to complain until the Day of Judgment.

Jinhone Sataya Vo Saaye Me Soye Sataye Gaye Jo Vo Din Raat Roye Ye Munsif Ne Insaaf Kaisa Kiya

Those who tormented me sleep in the shade, while those who were tormented weep day and night. What kind of justice has this judge dispensed?

Tum Apne Makaano Me Aaram Se Ho Tapish Ke Bina Chaen Se So Rahe Ho Garaz Bhi Koi Tumko Isse Hai Kya

You are at ease in your homes, sleeping peacefully without the heat of suffering. Do you even care about this at all?

Mai Karti Rahungi Savalat Tumse Kabhi To Milenge Jawabat Tumse Kabhi To Sunega Koi Ye Sada

I will continue to ask you questions. One day, I will receive answers from you. One day, someone will hear this cry.

Mujhe Hasrato Se Mohammad Ne Paala Kabhi Dhoop Me Bhi Na Baahar Nikaala Amal Kyu Na Sirat Pe Tumne Kiya

Muhammad raised me with such longing and care; he never even let me step out into the sun. Why did you not act according to his character?

Baroze Jaza Sakhtiya Jab Sahoge Kabhi Tumne Socha Bhi Hai Kya Kahoge Agar Tumse Puchega Baba Mera

When you endure the hardships on the Day of Judgment, have you ever thought about what you will say if my Father asks you?

Sunaega Noha Ye Jab Jab Bhi Aamir Rulaenge Asif Baqi Ke Manazir Har Ek Simpt Se Aayegi Ye Sada

Whenever Aamir recites this noha, the remaining scenes will make Asif weep. From every direction, this cry will arise.
