Baraste patharo me zakhmi jab hui Zainab

Toh roo k ghazi ka sar dekhti rahi Zainab

Kahi pe durro se darbaar me tha maara gaya

Kahi pe sung se bazaar me tha maara gaya

Wohi sitam hue jis jaa khadi rahi Zainab

Sitam ki koofiyo ne hai ayse had kardi

Phirai kufe me jaise thi laash muslim ki

Phirai waise hi rassi se thi bandhi Zainab

Sitam kuch itne laeeno ki fauj karti thi

Laraste kadmo se bazaar me wooh chalti thi

Yun taziyano se zakhmi thi ho chuki Zainab

Yeh shimr logo se has has ke hae kehta tha

Bahen hai baaghi ki yeh jisko humne maar dia

Najaane kis tarah yeh sab thi sun rahi Zainab

Ali ke badle joh shami yeh humse lete hai

Pukari fizza yeh pathar baraste kehte hai

Ali se kitni hai in sabko dushmani Zainab

Jab aai bhai ke maqtal me kaidi hoke bahen

Kata Hussain ka tukdo me iss tarah tha badan

Joh dekhi laash toh naake se gir padi Zainab

Churi gale pe bhi jiske naa dekh pai thi

Wooh dekhti rahi roo rook e gham satai thi

Labo pe bhai ke chalte hue churi Zainab

Waha asad o fazal aasoon ka tha nauha

Mila rehai pe azbaab jab luta saara

Toh der tak rahi chadar ko dekhti Zainab
