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 hat
Baaleen pah khade rotey hain nabi athara baras ke paale ko
