Ya Rab Koi Masooma Zindaan Mein Na Tanha Ho Noha on Bibi Sakina’s Pain and Imprisonment
The noha “Ya Rab Koi Masooma Zindaan Mein Ma Na Tanha Ho” is a heart-shattering tribute to the suffering of Bibi Sakina (sa), the beloved daughter of Imam Hussain (as), who endured unbearable pain during and after the tragedy of Karbala. This noha touches the raw emotions of every listener as it narrates the haunting moments of a child imprisoned, separated from her family, and left alone in the dark dungeon of Shaam. Her story is not just a moment in Islamic history it’s a wound that continues to bleed in the hearts of believers.
This emotionally powerful noha reflects on the innocence of Sakina (sa), her desperate cries for her father, and the brutal silence she was met with behind the iron bars of Yazid’s prison. Through poetic verses, it gives voice to the unheard pain of a young girl who had just witnessed the brutal martyrdom of her father, uncles, and brothers. In an age of war, cruelty, and injustice, her tears became a symbol of resistance, and her loneliness in the zindaan (prison) still shakes the soul of every mourner.
The title line “Ya Rab Koi Masooma Zindaan Mein Ma Na Tanha Ho” is more than a plea it’s a du’a (supplication) echoing through generations. It urges the world to never allow another child, especially one as pure as Sakina (sa), to suffer such isolation and grief. The noha not only strengthens the emotional connection of Azadars (mourners) to Karbala’s aftermath, but also raises awareness about the depth of sorrow experienced by the family of the Prophet (pbuh) after the battle.
Ya Rab koi Masooma Lyrics Urdu.
یا رب کوئی معصومہ زنداں میں نہ تنہا ہو
پابند نہ ہو آہیں , رونے پہ نہ پہرا ہو
یا رب کوئی معصومہ زنداں میں نہ تنہا ہو
تھی جس کو نیند آتی , شببرؑ کے سینے پر
زنداں در زنداں , اُس کے لئے قضا ہو
زندانوں سے آتی تھی آواز سسکنے کی
جیسے کہ سکینہؑ کو , ہر زندان رو رہا ہو
ٹکرائے نہ وہ کیوں کر زنداں کی دیواروں سے
بھائی سے اور پھپھی سے , جس کو جدا کیا
ہو بے کفن اُسے عابدؑ تنہا ہی اٹھا لائے
کونین کا وارث ہائے ، جس بی بی کا دادا ہو
زندان میں اے نجفی یاد آئی سکینہؑ کی
دل رو رو کہہ رہا ہے , اب نہ اجالا ہو
