Zuljanah Noha (Official Video) - Mesum Abbas Noha 2020

Zuljanah was the horse of Imam Hussain (as) in Karbala in the year 680 (61AH). This noha describes the dialogue that took place between the horse Zuljanah and Imam Hussain's daughter Sakina (sa). On the10th of Muharram, when Zuljanah returned from the plains of Karbala without Imam Hussain (as) on its back, Sakina knew her father had been martyred. In this heartwrenching noha, she pleads and begs the horse to tell her where he has left her father, so she could find his body and talk to him one last time. Even today, every 10th Muharram, azadars around the world bring a Shabih (replica) of the Zuljanah to the juloos (processions) on Ashura. The noha has been written by Mazher Abidi and composed/recited by Mesum Abbas Naqvi.

LYRICS:

Dooba lahu me laut ke, aaya jo Zuljanah
Samjhi Sakina Baba ko, laaya he Zuljanah
Dekhi jo zeen khaali toh, karne lagi ye bayn
Zuljanah, Zuljanah

Zuljanah, Zuljanah, Kuch Toh Bata Mujhko Zuljanah

Jo gaya he ghar se aa nahi saka… Haye Zuljana, Haye Zuljanah
Shaam hogaye he, din guzar gaya… Haye Zuljana, Haye Zuljanah
Kyun teri bage kateen zulm kya huwa
Khoon se tar he jabeen zulm kya huwa

Kyun he zeen khali, Baba he kahaan… Haye Zuljana (2x)
Pusht kyun he zakhmi, khoon he rawaan… Haye Zuljana (2x)
Mere Baba ke wafadar kuch bata
De mujhe sabr aur karaar kuch bata

Teer he badan par tere jaa ba jaa… Haye Zuljana (2x)
Kyun nahi bata-ta, Kya sitam huwa… Haye Zuljana (2x)
Teri khamoshi me he gham ki kya khabar
Kya me samjhun ke juda hogaye padar

Haath jorh kar me keh rahi thi naa… Haye Zuljana (2x)
Ji sakungi kayse Baap ke bina… Haye Zuljana (2x)
Ab jo dunya me mere Baba na rahe
Kon seene pe sulaye ga ab mujhe

Uth gaya jo sar se saaya-e-padar… Haye Zuljana (2x)
Soye gi Sakina kayse khaak par… Haye Zuljana (2x)
Shimr le jayega ab baaliya meri
Haye Saadat ki chadar bhi chiney-gi

Qatl ho gaya kya Fatima ka laal… Haye Zuljana (2x)
Ye dukhi Sakina ho ke pur malaal… Haye Zuljana (2x)
Tujh se ro-ro ke kar rahi thi ilteja
Mere Baba ko suu-e-dasht na leja

Har taraf he laashey, har taraf lahoo… Haye Zuljana (2x)
Dhundu me padar ko, kayse chaar-su… Haye Zuljana (2x)
Ayse be-dard la'eeno ke darmiyaan
Tu bata laashe padar paaungi kahaan

Bayn be-khata ke sun ke ro diya… Haye Zuljana (2x)
Sar jhuka ke apna ran ko chal diya… Haye Zuljana (2x)
Kya kahein Mesum aur Mazhar Abidi
Keh ke ye khaak par Sakina gir gayi
