wo sare hussain, wo jaabir, woh karbala

wo shaam se palat ke jab aaya tha qafila

naqon ke jo chalnay se ubharne lagi sada

jaabir ne bhad ke qafilay waalon se ye kaha

ruk jao ke ye saltanat-e  ibn-e-ali hai

naqon pe yahan aana badi  be-adabi hai

jab is sada ko zainab-e-dilgeer ne suna

roi jigar ko thaam ke aur ro ke ye kaha

parwar-digar shukr hai tera bahot bada

jageer hai ye ghazi ki aati hai ye sada

phir is ke baad naaqay se khud ko gira diya

abbas ki behan ne tadap ke ye di sada

arey zainab hoon bhai zainab hoon bhai

bhai mai zainab hoon

ye karbala hai jageer teri

hum aaye teri jageer may

reh jaaye zindaan may hi sakina

ye bhi likha tha taqdeer may

pehchano mujh ko ay mere ghazi

zinab hoon, ay bhai

bazaar-e-kufa se woh guzarna

ehle haram ke salaar ka

bhaiya sajaya tha ashqiyaan ne

ek ek kona bazaar ka

pehchano mujh ko ay mere ghazi

zainab hoon, ay bhai

bhaiya tumhari ghairat ki khatir

baalon se parda karti rahi

chadar nahin thi sar per jo meray

ek ek qadam par marti rahi

pehchano mujh ko ay mere ghazi

zainab hoon, ay bhai

bhaiya sakina ko ek shaqi ne

maanga kaneezi main jis ghadi

mai binte zehra mai binte Haider

bhaiya laraz kar mai reh gayi

pehchano mujh ko ay mere ghazi

zainab hoon, ay bhai

kaisa andhera zindaan tha wo

jisme sakina jaan se gai

baba chacha se mujh ko mila do

masoom ro ro kehti rahi

pehchano mujh ko ay mere ghazi

zainab hoon, ay bhai

kurta jo uska khoon may bhara tha

us ko banaya mai ne kafan

jab dafn karte thay us ko abid

tharra-raha tha un ka badan

pehchano mujh ko ay mere ghazi

zainab hoon, ay bhai

zindan se chut kar main aa gai hoo

ranj-o-alam ki chadar liye

baazar-e-kufa may hain jo guzray

ankhon may saare manzar liye

pehchano mujh ko ay mere ghazi

zainab hoon, ay bhai

rehan zainab ki ye fughan thi

abbas-e-ghaazi ki laash per

deti kafan mai ay bhaiyya tumko

chinti na sar se chadar agar

pehchano mujh ko ay mere ghazi

zainab hoon, ay bhai
