Bibi Saqeena (s.a.): The Daughter of Hussain Who Cried Herself to Sleep in Chains, Honored by Syed Ali Arbaz Jafri and Anjuman-e-Imamia Malir
When the tents were reduced to ash and the swords of Yazids army rested, the tragedy of Karbala had only begun. Among the prisoners taken from the smoldering battlefield was a child fragile, trembling, and grieving. Bibi Saqeena (s.a.), the youngest daughter of Imam Hussain (a.s.), became a symbol of pure innocence caught in the storm of tyranny. Her cries in the dungeon of Kufa and Damascus echo through generations. Her death, while still in chains, has shaken the hearts of millions and continues to inspire remembrance.
Syed Ali Arbaz Jafri has given voice to her pain through soul-crushing nohas that portray her longing for her father and the agony of captivity. His work is not only a tribute but a revival of the emotional core of azadari.
In one of his most viewed performances, Saqeena Baba Ko Pukarti Rahi, Arbaz Jafri narrates the sleepless nights and broken sobs of Bibi Saqeena (s.a.) as she begged to see her father one last time. The noha has become a digital elegy, shared in mourning gatherings, majalis, and across platforms during Safar and Arbaeen.
Anjuman-e-Imamia Malir dedicates a full night of majlis to Bibi Saqeena (s.a.), often bringing children to the stage with shackles to symbolize her pain. The community stands in silence as the youngest members reenact her final moments, a scene that leaves even the most stoic weeping.
Keywords like Bibi Saqeena noha, daughter of Imam Hussain in prison, Arbaz Jafri Saqeena tribute, childrens majlis Malir, and Saqeena Shia history have been intentionally placed to ensure the story reaches global audiences and search visibility is maximized.
This remembrance is not seasonal. It is a responsibility. Bibi Saqeena (s.a.) was denied water, comfort, and dignity, but her story was not buried. It lives in every tear shed during matam and in every voice that calls her name through noha.
