mind you we are a minority
among the muslims it is true
we believe in the same god
his holy prophet his holy book too
yet we are exterminated
like vermin by muslims
treated on par with the jews
yes muslims love killing muslims
a eunuch silence prevails
in the community among
muslims of every hue
quetta lahore kill the shia
any place will do
ramzan the story of karbala
for you
barbarism is nothing new
those who kill the shias
the pact with yazid
their messiah renew
beshumar lanat
is what we give in lieu
weeping scriptures
tattered pages off the holy koran
in a bombed shia mosque
faith mixed with human blood
is what a suicide bomber
on the soul of Islam imbues
misplaced martyrdom
misguided jehad
nubile virgins the only excuse

ek tasveer
ek bachpana
waqt ke beete
hue lamhe
un lamhon
ko wapas
dhaurata hai
ankh se behta hua
ansu hauz
main gir jata hai
ab ham is kabil
ho gaye
lekin bachapana
bar bar yad ata hai
ek tasavar ban jata hai
alam ka pani
main gota karana
woh phool zanjir kama
ek ek beeta wa pal
haqeeqat ban jata hai
moghul masjid
jahan khuda
khud apne bandhon
ko imam hussain
ki majlis sunata hai
farshe aza par
hamari nasal
hamare buzurg
ko bulata hai
sara sama
kap jata hai
anewale kal ka
hame zahoor
dikhata hai

she already inherits
her heritage
in her mothers womb
what others take years
to seek
their spirit was willing
their inclination weak
a love of the imam
through
this picture speaks
within the silhouette
of my shia soul
she peaks
gods touch
gods godliness
on her chubby cheeks
the fountainhead
of our future
the innocent and the meek

is is it because
we believe
in Allah
Mohomed
Fatima
Hassan
Hussain
you shed our blood
like your yazidi forefathers
what do you gain
yes a few die but with
a larger force we
come back again
with our blood sweat tears
our matam our majls our juloos
trampling your 'yazidi domain
on the soul of humanity
as teardrops we rain
yes we are followers of Ali
children of Hussain

The Shia Pain Continues

From 21 Ramzan
a door that leads
towards Moharam
from father to son
the shia pain
continues
his back bleeds
his chest bleeds
is head a fountain
of a river of blood
ghame hussain
his only excuse
a 1400 year
old protest
on the soul
of humanity to diffuse
who killed imam hussain
it was neither the hindus
nor the jews
accursed yazid
his gang of butchers
we accuse
yazidiyat
the path we shun
hussainiyat
the path we choose
our anguish
our pain or pathos
timelessly
we let loose
a mothers pain
a mothers tears
a path as our virtue
yes we are shias
in black winding sheets
of sorrow yesterday
today tomorrow
it is true
