Abh Bhi Aati Hai Sakina Ki Sadain
Added 2026-06-21
abh bhi aati hai sakina ki sadain logon, hy zindaano say
Even now, O people, Sakina's (as) cries still echo from within the dungeons
meray baba ko mila do, main duaain dun gi
siskian lay kai jo kehti thi musalmano say
Please reunite me with my father [Husayn (as)], and I will bless you with my prayers!
These were the words she (Sakina (as)) used to cry out to the people, through her sobs…
abh bhi aati hai sakina ki sadain logon, hy zindaano say
Even now, O people, Sakina's (as) cries still echo from within the dungeons
bolay sajjad sakina, yeh muqadaar tera
bay watan tujh ko liye phirta hun bazaron main
aur lahu aaj bhi jaari hain teray kaano say
Sajjad (as) then said to Sakina (as), "This is our shared destiny!"
"I carry you, homeless, through these marketplaces…"
"And blood still flows today from your ears [from when your earrings were torn out]!"
abh bhi aati hai sakina ki sadain logon, hy zindaano say
Even now, O people, Sakina's (as) cries still echo from within the dungeons
ja kai maqtal main pukaari, yeh sakina roo kaar
bhaiya qasim meray akber tum kahan ho saare
meray baba ko bacha lo, aakai shaitanon say
Going to the battlefield, Sakina (as) cried out, weeping heavily…
"Oh, my brother Qasim (as)! My Akbar (as)! Where are all of you?!"
"Please come and save my father (Husayn (as)) from these devils!"
abh bhi aati hai sakina ki sadain logon, hy zindaano say
Even now, O people, Sakina's (as) cries still echo from within the dungeons
labay dariya say alamdar ki aayi yeh saada
ay sakina tujh sai shaarminda hain chacha tera
paani phoncha na saka haye katay shaano say
From the riverbank, a voice came, that of the flag bearer, Abbas (as)!
"Oh Sakina (as)! Your uncle (Abbas (as)) is filled with shame towards you…"
"Alas, I could not deliver water [to you] with my severed arms!"
abh bhi aati hai sakina ki sadain logon, hy zindaano say
Even now, O people, Sakina's (as) cries still echo from within the dungeons
