Zuljanah Aye Zuljanah

Kehti Thi Yeh Sakina, Zakhmi Kyun Hai Tu Itna Maqtal Mein Kya Huwa Bata, Zuljanah

Sakina was saying, 'Why are you so wounded? Tell me, what happened in the battlefield, Zuljanah?'

Itna Bata Day Kyun Ghabraya Hai Tu Kyun Mere Baba Ko Chhod Aaya Hai Tu Tairay Qadmon Ki Jab Aawaz Aayi Mein Yeh Samjhi Baba Ko Laya Hai Tu

Tell me this much, why are you so anxious? Why have you left my father behind? When I heard the sound of your footsteps, I thought you had brought my father back.

Na Ghazi Hai Na Bhaiya, Haaye Baba Ka Lasha Maqtal Se Kaun Laaye Ga Tairay Qadmon Mein Yeh Gir Kar Kaha Tha Na Le Ja Baba Ko Mere Na Le Ja

Neither Ghazi is here, nor my brother, alas, the body of my father—who will bring it from the battlefield? When I fell at your feet, I had said: 'Do not take my father, do not take him.'

Tanha Baba Ko Jo Jane Diya Tha Teri Wafa Pay Tha Mujhko Bharosa Tujh Ko Ghazi Ki Qasam, Rakh Le Wafa Ka Bharam Tanha Kyun Lauta Hai Bata

When I let my father go alone, I had faith in your loyalty. I swear to you by Ghazi, keep the honor of your loyalty; tell me, why have you returned alone?

Rukhsat Baba Ki Na Bhooli Sakina Aakhri Baar Jo Soi Sakina Aaker Yeh Khwab Mein Dadi Pukaari Bhejo Hussain Ko Bali Sakina

Sakina has not forgotten the departure of her father. The last time Sakina slept, her grandmother (Fatima) came in a dream and called out, 'Send Hussain to me, young Sakina.'

Tab Se Bichri Hon Dekho, Jane Na Deti Unn Ko Gar Mujh Se Kehti Na Zahra

Look, I have been separated since then; I would not have let him go, had Zahra not told me to.

Gham Kitne Tootay Ghareeb Al Watan Par Naizay Chalay Hain Kya Unn Ke Badan Par Sir To Utha Teri Aankhon Mein Daikhoon Kya Kya Sitam Hue Shahe Zaman Par

How many sorrows have broken upon the stranger in this land? Have spears been driven into his body? Lift your head so I may look into your eyes; what atrocities have been committed upon the King of the Age?

Aansoon Rawan Hain Tairay Baba Kahan Hain Mere Kyun Hai Khamosh Yeh Bata Yeh Zahra Jane Ya Allah Jane Mere Baba Thay Jane Kab Se Pyase

Your tears are flowing, where is my father? Tell me, why are you silent? Only Zahra knows, or Allah knows, how long my father had been thirsty.

Ankhen Tumhari Mujh Se Keh Rahi Hain Maqtal Se Tum Bhi Ho Pyase Hi Lautay Mujh Ko Yaqee Hain Mere Baba Ne Tum Se Pehlay Pani Kahan Piya Hoga

Your eyes are telling me that you too returned thirsty from the battlefield. I am certain that my father, before you, could not have drunk any water.

Mujh Ko Taapon Ki Jo Aati Hai Sada Wehshat Se Phat'ta Hai Kaleja Mera Charon Taraf Hai Zaalimon Ka Pahra Tanha Hain Run Mein Mere Pyase Baba Lasha Pamaal Na Ho, Jaake Bachalay Unn Ko Mai Bhi Marjaungi Warna

The sound of hooves that I hear makes my heart burst with terror. There is a guard of tyrants on all sides. My thirsty father is alone in the battlefield. Go and save him, so his body is not trampled, otherwise I too will die.

Lootay Nah Khaimon Ko Aa Kar Sitamgar Haaye Chhin Jaye Nah Phuppiyon Ki Chadar Kis Ko Pukarungi Itna Bata Day Zalim Jab Khechega Kano Ne Se Gohar Kon Hai Ab Hamara Koi Nahi Sahara Lut Jaye Ga Mera Kunba

May the tyrants not come to loot the tents, alas, may the veils of my aunts not be snatched away. Tell me, whom will I call upon when the tyrant pulls the earrings from my ears? Who is ours now? There is no support; my family will be plundered.

Kehti Hai Karbala Darwaysho Zeeshan Rota Raha Sir Jukaye Zuljanah Kaisay Sakina Ke Baba Ko Laaye Chaane Lagi Hai Ab Shame Gharibaan Rakh Ke Qadmon Mein Sir Ko, Girgya Khaak Par Woh Sun Kar Sakina Ka Noha

Darwaysh and Zeeshan say that Karbala is speaking; Zuljanah kept weeping with his head bowed. How could he bring Sakina's father back? The evening of the homeless (Shame Gharibaan) has begun to spread. Placing his head at her feet, he fell to the dust, upon hearing Sakina's lament.
