Tuta huwa dil leke kaha jayegi Zainab, Gabrayegi Zainab

Bhayya ko Madine me kahaan paaegi Zainab – Gabrayegi Zainab

Where will Zainab go with her broken heart? It will destroy Zainab

When in Madina she longs for her brother, it will destroy Zainab

Puchenge ye sab log ke bazu pe huwa kya

Kis kis ko nishaan rassi ke dikhlaegi Zainab – Gabrayegi Zainab

When people ask her what happened to your arms

Who will Zainab show the bruises of the ropes to – it will destroy Zainab

Phat jaega bas dekhte hi ghar ko kaleja

Dil dhundhega tumko to kaha paaegi Zainab – Gabrayegi Zainab

Her heart will break when she see’s her house

When her heart searches for you, where will it find you – it will destroy Zainab

Be parda huwi qaid bhi khwahar ne uthaayi

Kya jaaniye kya kya abhi dukh paaegi Zainab – Gabrayegi Zainab

Without a veil, being a prisoner – you took on this responsibility

Who knows what other painful burdens you will carry – It will destroy Zainab

Kaisa ye bhara ghar huwa barbaad Ilaahi

Iss ghar ko na abaad kabhi paaegi Zainab – Gabrayegi Zainab

O Allah! How did this household get destroyed

Zainab will never be able to reconcile this household – It will destroy Zainab

Beta Aliakber jo watan jaaegi nashaad

Suni teri sone ki jagaa paegi Zainab – Gabrayegi Zainab

Oh Aliakber, when she returns home

How will Zainab sleep in peace – It will destroy Zainab

Keh dijiyo Akber se phupi jaati hai aawo

Ghar jaake ziyarat ko taras paaegi Zainab – Gabrayegi Zainab

Tell Aliakber his aunt is going home

Zainab will crave seeing your face when she gets home – It will destroy Zainab

Lo aakhri mujraah hai watan jaaneka saamaan

Samaan e safar ka karo ghar jaayegi Zainab
