Added 2026-06-21
Haye neyzey pe woh zainab ki rida takta raha
Alas, Abid (as) kept gazing at Zainab's (sa) veil raised upon a spear
Shaam aake bhi woh har pal karbala takta raha
even on reaching Shaam, every moment he kept gazing back toward Karbala
Haye neyzey pe woh zainab ki rida takta raha
Alas, Abid (as) kept gazing at Zainab's (sa) veil raised upon a spear
Khoon rota hi raha abid magar chaaron taraf
Woh sakina tere kaanon ki dawa takta raha
Abid (as) kept weeping tears of blood, but on every side
O Sakina (sa), he kept searching for a remedy for your wounded ears
Haye neyzey pe woh zainab ki rida takta raha
Alas, Abid (as) kept gazing at Zainab's (sa) veil raised upon a spear
Bheer thi chaaron taraf aur wa hijaaba ki sada
Patharon ki baarishon mein raasta takta raha
There were crowds on every side, and the cry of 'our veils!'
amid the raining stones, he kept watching for a way forward
Haye neyzey pe woh zainab ki rida takta raha
Alas, Abid (as) kept gazing at Zainab's (sa) veil raised upon a spear
Haye ghayoor woh syed aur darbaar e yazid
Kon zainab lafz sun ker chup raha takta raha
Alas, that honor-bound Sayyid, and the court of Yazid
who, hearing the word 'Zainab', stayed silent and only gazed on
Haye neyzey pe woh zainab ki rida takta raha
Alas, Abid (as) kept gazing at Zainab's (sa) veil raised upon a spear
Woh jo ghairat ka khuda tha woh jawaan saala zaeef
Woh ali ki betiyon ko be rida takta raha
He who was the very embodiment of honor, young in years yet frail
kept gazing at Ali's (as) daughters left without their veils
Haye neyzey pe woh zainab ki rida takta raha
Alas, Abid (as) kept gazing at Zainab's (sa) veil raised upon a spear
Jab khabar aai sakina ye jahan chor gayi
Sun kay abid mar gaya phir phir khara takta raha
When the news came that Sakina (sa) had left this world
hearing it, Abid (as) died within, then stood and gazed on, again and again
Haye neyzey pe woh zainab ki rida takta raha
Alas, Abid (as) kept gazing at Zainab's (sa) veil raised upon a spear
