Zahra Ki Betiyon Ki Ridaen Utar Gayi

Zahra Ki Betiyon Ki Ridaen Utar Gayi

Mir Hasan Mir

The veils of Bibi Zahra's daughters were torn away after Karbala, the poet laments. He tells how the ladies were bound with ropes and dragged, how children died on the road to Shaam, and how Sakina's earrings were snatched, leaving her ear wounded.
