Ye kafela layja
Ale nabi ka kafela, jab shaam ko chala.
Kehne lagi hussain se.
Hamshir alvidaa.
Ane lagi ik lashaye be sar se ye sadaa
(Ye kafela layja zainab, kafela layja) x2
(Maine basayi karbala) x3
Tu shaam ko basaa
(Ye kafela layja zainab, kafela layja) x2
1. Kuch gham na kar jo raah me sehne hai sakhtiya
Sajaad mera kafele ka honga sarwan
(neze pe tere saath hi) x3
jayenga sar mera
(Ye kafela layja zainab, kafela layja) x2
2. Shiri ka ghar bhi raah me aayenga ay bahan
Tujko agar pehchan na paye wo purmehen
(kehna ke pura hogaya) x3
waada ye gham zadaa
(Ye kafela layja zainab, kafela layja) x2
3. Ay zainab teri raah me ayenga ek makaam
Hatim bulaayenga wahaa le le ke sabkaa naam
(karna wahaa bhi sabr tu) x3
karna na bad duwaa
(Ye kafela layja zainab, kafela layja) x2
4. Aysi bhi manzil raah me ayengi nawha ghar
Uthegi teri simt jo na paak har nazar
(quraan sunayenga wahi) x3
neze pe sar mera
(Ye kafela layja zainab, kafela layja) x2
5. ek aysi basti ayengi kuch pehle shaam se
takseem hongi chaadare rahib ki naam se
(phir chinlenge chaadare) x3
aakar wo ashkiya
(Ye kafela layja zainab, kafela layja) x2
6. Ay behna tera raah me hoga ye haal bhi
Bache judaa hojayenge jismo se khaal bhi
(har ghaam tere haal pe) x3
rowengi sayidaa
(Ye kafela layja zainab, kafela layja) x2
7. Ja zainab ja abaad kar zindaane shaam ko
Zainab sulaadena wahi us tishna kaam ko
(jiske gohar bhi chingaye) x3
Daman bhi hai jalaa
(Ye kafela layja zainab, kafela layja) x2
8. Shahzadi meri shaam se aye jo karbala
Kartithi apne bhayi ki markad pe ye buka
(zindaan basaa ke aagayi) x3
tumne jo ye kahaa
(Ye kafela layja zainab, kafela layja) x2
