Zehra ko dafn karke jo aaye bashor-o-sheen
Ghar mein kisi tarah se bhi milta nahi tha chain
Hilta tha aasmaan jo karte the ro ke bain
Zainab ke paas aake yeh kehne lage Hussain
Zainab sambhalo jaan meri nikli jaati hai
Khushboo tumhare paas se Amma ki aati hai
Bole Zainab se Shah yeh ro kar
Haaye bin maa ke ho gaye hum log
Ab pukaarun kise main maa keh kar
Haaye bin maa ke ho gaye hum log….
Haaye mamta ki meethi-meethi si
Woh sadaayein sunaayi deti hain
Ghar ki deewaar-o-dar mein goshon mein
Mujhko Amma dikhaayi deti hain
Dil pe kaise rakhun main yeh patthar
Haaye bin maa ke ho gaye hum log….
Kaun khaana humein khilaayega
God mein pyaar se bithayega
Kaun ab baar-baar raaton ko
Uth ke paani humein pilaayega
Zindagi sakht ho gayi hum par
Haaye bin maa ke ho gaye hum log….
Aisa lagta hai apne hujre se
Meri Amma nikal ke aayengi
Baahen phailaaye, muskuraate hue
Humko seene se phir lagaayengi
Par khayaalon ki hai yeh raahguzar
Haaye bin maa ke ho gaye hum log….
Saare kapde atte hain mitti mein
Gard baalon mein hai, chuda jaao
Tumko Amma qasam hai Nana ki
Apne bachchon ke paas aa jaao
Neend aati nahi humein shab bhar
Haaye bin maa ke ho gaye hum log….
Haaye bikhri hai ja-ba-ja ghar mein
Kaisi-kaisi nishaaniyaan maa ki
Baithi roti hai us jagah Kulsoom
Jahaan tooti thi pasliyaan maa ki
Jalta darwaaza bhi gira un par
Haaye bin maa ke ho gaye hum log….
Kis tarah bhool jaaun ae Zainab
Maa ka deewaar-o-dar mein pis jaana
Aankh mein baar-baar phirta hai
Woh tamaache, waseeliyaan khaana
Gham se phat jaaye na hamaara jigar
Haaye bin maa ke ho gaye hum log….
Ghar mein chhaaya hai aisa sannata
Jaise toofaan aa ke guzra hai
Dekho deewaar-o-dar pe ae Zainab
Khoon maadar ka ab bhi taaza hai
Ja ke kis ko dikhaayein daagh-e-jigar
Haaye maa ke ho gaye hum log….
Boli Zainab yeh Shah se ro kar
Ab na humko sulaayengi Amma
Chaahe jitna bhi hum sadaayein dein
Kabhi waapas na aayengi Amma
Thokarein khaayenge sabhi dar-dar
Haaye bin maa ke ho gaye hum log….
Aini lafzon mein likh nahi sakte
Aansuon ki zubaan jo behte the
Hashr barpa tha ek bachchon mein
Ro ke Aamir sabhi yeh kehte the
Dil ko aata nahi yaqeen pal bhar
Haaye maa ke ho gaye hum log….
