Mujhko Tanha Na Kabhi Chodke Jaana Baba

Mujhko Tanha Na Kabhi Chodke Jaana Baba

Abbas Bandali

Spoken as the sick young Bibi Sughra in Madina, she begs her father Hussain not to leave her behind as the caravan sets out for Karbala. If they never meet again, she asks only that he come and light a lamp upon her grave.
