Jangal mein bharey ghar ko lutaa aayi hai Zainab
Ay shehr-e-madeena
Aabid ko kisi tarha bachaa laayi hai Zainab
Ay shehr-e-madeena
Bandhwaa ke rasan haathon mein aur khutbey sunaa ke
Gharbaar lutaa ke
Deewar badhey kufr ke dhaa aayi hai Zainab
Ay shehr-e-madeena
Jis shehr mein shahzaadiyon ki tarha rahi thhi
Naazon ki palee thhi
Sar nangey usi shehr mein ho aayi hai Zainab
Ay shehr-e-madeena
Jo hijr-e-pidar mein rahey har waqt pareshaan
Soyi nahin ek aan
Us bachchi ko zindaan mein sula aayi hai Zainab
Ay shehr-e-madeena
Thha pyaar bohot bhai ko jis bhaai ke damm se
Dil phhat-ta hai gham se
Saahil pe akela usey chhod aayi hai Zainab
Ay shehr-e-madeena
Chhe maah ke Asghar ko bhi jhoole ke bajhaaye
Dukh dard chhupaaye
Aaghosh mein turbat ke sulaa aayi hai Zainab
Ay shehr-e-madeena
Thhe Aun-o-Mohammad jo mere aankhon ke taare
Maamu ke dulaare
Qurbaan unhein bhaai pe kar aayi hai Zainab
Ay shehr-e-Madeena
Thhaa Akbar-e-naashaad jo us ghar ka ujaala
Wo gesuwon waala
Marqad mein akela usey chhod aayi hai Zainab
Ay shehr-e-Madeena
Naadim hai bohot laa saki Qasim ko na humraah
Wa hasrat-o-dardaa
Kubraa ko magar saath le aayi hai Zainab
Ay shehr-e-Madeena
Paani jo piye ahle watan pyaas na bhoolein
Muh ashqon se dho le
Kehne ko ye bhaai ka payaam laayi hai Zainab
Ay shehr-e-Madeena
Manzar ko bhula sakti nahin taa damm-e-aakhir
Kehne se qaasir
Jo shaam ke darbaar mein dekh aai hai Zainab
Ay shehr-e-Madeena
Jis waqt Khuda jaanta thha nikley thhe ghar se
Chaadar chhini sar se
Ab tak na masaaib se nikal paayi hai Zainab
Ay shehr-e-Madeena
Shabbir ko royega taa hashr zamaana
Hai gham ka fasaana
Majlis ke bina shaam se laut aayi hai Zainab
Ay shehr-e-Madeena
Ay shehr-e-madeena
Aabid ko kisi tarha bachaa laayi hai Zainab
