Pardes mein Zainab kho baithi

Pardes mein Zainab kho baithi

athara baras ke paale ko

Rotey hai khade sab aale nabi

athara baras ke paale ko

Armaan na nikla Bano ka

hae laash pah nauha Bano ka

Payegi kahan yeh kookh jali

athara baras ke paale ko

Dil thaam ke Akbar ki maadar

kehti hae yeh Sarwar se rokar

Kho aaye kahan aye ibne Ali

athara baras ke paale ko

Naazon se muraadon se paala

shaadi ka zamana jab aaya

Maidaan mein khokar baith gayi

athara baras ke paale ko

Shabbir se kehti hae Zainab

mujh ko toh bada hae iska taa-ab

Kyon maine liya tha tumse aqi

athara baras ke paale ko

Qismat ka karoon main kis se gila

khidmath ka ewaz kuch bhi na mila

Sehra bhi na Zainab baandh saki

athara baras ke paale ko

Kehte thay yeh shahe Karbobala

taqdeer mein yoonhi likha tha

Ab sabr karo aye binte Ali

athara baras ke paale ko

Showkat pah qayamat ka gham hae

Showkat yeh ghazab ka maatam hae

Baaleen pah khade rotey hain nabi

athara baras ke paale ko
