Dekha zainab ko to abdullah ne rokar pucha

aye zaifa meri zainab ko kahi'n dekha hai

aye zaifa meri zainab ko kahi'n dekha hai..(2)

3. Khaicha karta tha qalatein Ali akbar uski

kitni tazeem kiya karte the Sarwar uski

4. Badliya ghum ki madine pe jo ye chhayi hai

kya wo shehzadiya'n pardes se laut aayi hai

5. Mai hi zainab hu magar aaj hu mai kitni ghareeb

legaya nargha e aada mein mujhe mera naseeb

kaise batlau mai wo shaam ke zindaa'n ki ghutan

hogayi khaak ka pewand sakina dukhiya

uth rahi thi dar o deewar se nauho ki sadaa

mai hi zainab hu masaeb ne mujhe ghera hai..(2)
