Who is this esteemed lady, what is she asking for?
Islam ki khidmat ka, sila maang rahi hai
For serving the religion,
Har sahib-e-ghairat se rida, maang rahi hai
From every civilised person she is asking for a cloak as compensation
Pardes main marnay ki dua maang rahi hai
And she is asking God to let her transcend in this foreign land
Afsorda hai aflaak, siya posh zameen hai
The sky is now in despair and the earth dons its mourning clothes
Jibreel zara dekhiye ye Zainab to nahin hai
Gabriel! Tell me that's not Zainab!
Yeh kaun si Mastoora hai
Who is this esteemed lady?
