Shimr Se Kehte The Shahe Mashraqain - Bali Sakinaa Hay Maire Dil Ke Chain

Imam Hussain as kept telling Shimr la, My daughter Sakina is the flower of my heart

Ahmede mukhtar kaa jaani hun mein, Haider safdar ki nishaani hun mein

Dine payambar ki jawaani hun mein, Fatemaa kaa yusufe saani hun mein,

Bhaai hassan hay meraa mein hun hussein - Baali sakinaa hay maire dil kaa chain

I am the grandson of Ahmad, the spitting image of Ali

I am the youth of the religion of Muhammad, I am the second Prince of Fatima

My brother is Hasan, I am Hussain, My daughter Sakina is the flower of my heart

Dekh yatima ko satayaa to kya, Dukhte huwe dil ko dukhayaa to kya

Gurkiyaan dede ke rulayaa to kya, Mun pe tamache bhi lagayaa to kya

Sehm ke marjaaye gi bitul hussein - Baali sakinaa hay maire dil kaa chain

What would happen if you tormented my orphan (Sakina) or if you hurt her heart?

What about making her cry by threatening her or by slapping her face?

Out of grief the daughter of Imam Hussain will die, My daughter Sakina is the flower of my heart

Zabhaa pyaasaa mujhe kartaa hay tu Kehre khudaa se nahi dhartaa hay tu

Paaon maire sine pe raktaa hay tu Haath maire khoon se bartaa hay tu

Tu bhi na paayegaa maire baad chain - Baali sakinaa hay maire dil kaa chain

You are slaughtering me whilst I am thirsty, are you not afraid of Allah

You’re placing your feet on my chest, you are filling your hands with my blood

You will never find solace after doing this, My daughter Sakina is the flower of my heart

Sajde mein shabbir ki ghardan kati, Sar khule darbaar mein zainab gayi,

Paaon mein sajjad ke bheri pari, Shiimr ne naatiq naa sifaarish suni,

Chalbasi zindaan mein bintul hussein - Baali sakinaa hay maire dil kaa chain

Imam Hussain was beheaded in prostration, Zainab was paraded without her hijab

Shackles were put on the feet of Sajjad, Shimr didn’t listen nor did he have any pity

The daughter of Imam Hussain passed away in prison, My daughter Sakina is the flower of my heart
