Majlis o matam sikhaya shukriya zainab ka hai

Zikr e gham ki ibtedaa hi, tazkera Zainab ka hai
Majlis o Maatam sikhaya, shukriya Zainab ka hai

Saat sau kursi nashi’n hai, takht par Ibn e Sitam
Is bhare darbar mein bhi, dabdaba Zainab ka hai

Baarhaa sar Gaazi ka aata hai jaanib farsh ki
Kaise sar naize pe rehta, sar khula Zainab ka hai

Quwwat e baazu e Shabbir, hai Sakina ka chacha
Ye Ali ka mojiza hai, hausla Zainab ka hai

Karbala, bazaar e Kufa, Shaam ka darbar, qaid
Sakhtiyaa’n itni, kaleja phool sa Zainab ka hai

Ek zaeefa mein numaaya hai bahattar ka wajood
Baad e Asr e Gham Haram ko, aasra Zainab ka hai

Har Imam e Waqt ne taa’zim ki jis Bibi ki
Ye Khuda hi jaanta kya martaba Zainab ka hai

Nauha kya ek sher bhi tu likh nahi’n sakta ‘Salim’
Kya teri auqaat ye to, mojiza Zainab ka hai
