goonji hai karbala me akbar teri azaa'n
shabbir ki nigah me hai ab dhuwa dhuwa
sajh dhaj ke qaima gaah se nikla ali ka laal
lene lagi balaaye akbar ki bibiyaa'n
bete ko dekh lete the nana ki yaad par
akbar chale jo ran ko to tadpe shahe zaman
zainab quda ke waaste laila ko thaam lo
maqtal me leke aata hu ab lasha e jawaa'n
kya tum chupa rahe ho meri jaan kuch kaho kyu is tarha ragadte ho aye laal edhiya
maqtal se aayi zainab e muztar lahu me tar
rudaade gham sunaati hai chehre ki surqiya
sehra na dekh paaye jawaa'n saal tum gaye
armaan qaak me mila roti hai bibiyaa'n
qalbe hussain zainabo laila bhi chidh gaya
khaakar sina ka phal gaye duniya se meri jaa'n
akbar tumhari yaad me hoti hai beqaraar
soughra ghareeb marti hai furqat me meri jaa'n
