Zulm Ke Teegh Uthi

Sayyed Sadiq Asghar Rizvi

Bibi Zainab stands in the court of the tyrant Yazid to speak the truth. She carries the message of her brother Imam Hussain to the world.

NohaZindan Shaam

Zulm Ke Teegh Uthi Sabr Ke Shamshir Chali. Banke Zahra Ke Duaayaye Tathir Chali.

The sword of tyranny was raised, but the blade of patience struck back. She walked forth, becoming the very embodiment of Zahra's prayer of purification.

Teri Aukat Batane Ke Liye Sun Lye Yazid. Lehjaa Haider Ka Liye Zainabye Dilgir Chali.

Listen, Yazid, to know your true worth, Zainab, heavy-hearted, walked forth with the very tone of Haider (Ali).

Wo Kataa Zulm Ka Sar Wo Hua Seena Chalni. War Pe War Hua Jab Talak Takrir Chali.

The head of tyranny was severed, the chest (of truth) was pierced, Yet blow after blow, her sermon continued to strike.

Maqsade Hazrate Shabbir Bachaney Ke Liye. Leyke Ghazi Ka Alam Shah Ki Hamshir Chli.

To preserve the mission of Hazrat Shabbir (Hussain), The sister of the King (Hussain) walked forth, carrying the standard of Ghazi (Abbas).

Kaarey Shabbir Ko Anjaam Diya Zainab Ne. Apne Hatho Pe Liye Din Ki Taqdir Chali.

Zainab brought the mission of Hussain to its completion, Carrying the destiny of the faith in her own hands, she walked forth.

Wo Khud To Qaid Se AzadHo Gaya Ay Zahir. Qaid Zalim Ko Kiye Paun Ke Zanjer Chali.

He (Hussain) himself became free from captivity, O Zahir, But the chains on her feet shackled the tyrant instead.
