Ro ro maqtal mein kehti thi Zainab bhaiyya baali Sakina kahan hae

Jaake dhoondhun kahan usko bun mein shab hae taareek sannata run mein
Hookh uthti hae mere badan mein bhaiyya baali Sakina kahan hae

Uth ke dariya se Abbas aao saath Akbar ko turn letey aao
Dhoond kar turn Sakina ko laao bhaiyya baali Sakina kahan hae

Ho chuki run mein sham-e ghareeban fouje aada mein ab hae chiraagan
Kooch ke ho rahe hai yeh saaman bhaiyya baali Sakina kahan hae

Bhaiyya dekho toh qismat hamari jayegi kis tarha yeh sawari
Hogi mehmil na ab woh amaari bhaiyya baali Sakina kahan hae

Laashe besar se aawaz aayi gham na khao aye amma ki jaayi
Aao behna bulaata hai bhayi meri baali Sakina yahan hae

Rothay rothay jo neend aagayi hai gham ke toofan mein woh kho gayi hai
Mere seene pah woh so gayi hai meri baali Sakina yahan hai
