Sakina Yaad Karti Hai

Koi Bhi Zaire Shabbir Jab Bhi Shaam Jaata Hai Diya Qabr e Sakina Par Wo Jaise Hi Jalata Hai Usse Shabbir Ki Dukhtar Ka Ye Noha Rulata Hai Mere Zair Tera Maqbool Ho Zindan Tak Aana Mera Ik Kaam Kardena Ke Jab Tum Karbala Jana Mere Baba Se Ye Kehna Sakina Yaad Karti Hai

Whenever a pilgrim of Shabbir comes to Shaam, the moment he lights a lamp at Sakina's grave, this lament of Shabbir's daughter moves him to tears: 'O my pilgrim, may your coming to this prison be accepted. Do this one thing for me — when you go to Karbala, tell my father that Sakina remembers him.'

Unhe Kehna Sakina Soo Nahi Payi Kabhi Baba Bichona Khak Hai Us Par Badan Zakhmi Yateema Ka Sulana Piyar Se Tera Sakina Yaad Karti Hai

Balaa Ka Khof Hai Baba Mere Is Aashiyane Me Bohot Ghabra Rahi Hun Me Andhere Qaid Khane Me Ujala Teri Aankho Ka Sakina Yaad Karti Hai

There is a dreadful fear, baba, in this dwelling of mine; I am so frightened here in the dark prison. The light of your eyes — Sakina remembers.

Me Laasho Se Ulaj Kar Gir Rahi Thi Neend Ke Maare Kate Sar Se Sar e Maqtal Mere Baba Mere Piyare Ilaiyya Wo Tera Kehna Sakina Yaad Karti Hai

Heavy with sleep, I stumbled and fell over the bodies; upon the field of slaughter, a severed head — O my dear father. That lullaby of yours — Sakina remembers.

Mujhe Darbar Me Zaalim Ye Kehta Tha Sadain De Agar Tujh Se Mohabbat Hai To Tere Pass Ye Aaye Tera Sar Tasht Se Uthna Sakina Yaad Karti Hai

Jahan Tum Or Me Rehte The Kiya Acha Gharana Tha Nahi Tha Shimr Ka Dar Naa Tamacha, Taaziyana Tha Madina Wo Watan Apna Sakina Yaad Karti Hai

Where you and I once lived — what a fine home it was, no fear of Shimr there, no slap, no lash. That homeland Madina — Sakina remembers.

Tera Naad e Ali Parh Kar Mujhe Kehna Meri Beti Dua Hai Tere Baba Ki Kabhi Naa Tu Rahe Piyasi Teri Hasrat Ko Aye Baba Sakina Yaad Karti Hai

Sakina Ne Kaha Yasir Mere Baba Se Ye Kehna Yaqeen Hai Mere Baba Yaad Karte Ho Mujhe Utna Tumhe Zindaan Se Jitna Sakina Yaad Karti Hai
