Zubaida and the children left their home to discover a new religious refuge
Her husband would catch up with her later, he had to do what men do
It was over a year later when he released from captivity
But at least they survived
Over a million souls didn’t
I sometimes wonder what that time was like for her
But I’ll never know
Thinking of my Dadi Jaan (father’s mother) Zubaida Khan, 1921 – 2016
