Man is Gods Most Favorite Slave

what is not his he yearns he craves
born helpless he tries to be brave
riding the crest of time wave after wave
dashes his doomed destiny his soul
depraved in the guise of man to save
him from himself he came he forgave
but man crucified him in a kangaroo court
tried him life and resurrection he rose
from the cave man is where he was
to his faults enslaved on his forehead
his cosmic fate engraved socket less eyes
his head shaved vision concave
an optic fiber running shortwave

an alam interlinked to humanity
cosmically linked to fate
from one generation to the next
for his appearance we wait
our destiny has a date
from this world to the next
hussainyat is the gate
shiasm is a path of peace
a spiritual state a drop of a
tear that fell from the eye
of a mother our thirst satiates
what is truth justice equality
if you dont have ahle bayt

hussain ke nam se kya kya basharat pate hain
hussainwale aur aliwale ek hi rang main nazar ate hain
ek ne jeenaa sikaya ek ne markar shahadat hasil ki
hum toh donon ke nam ka khate hain
terrorism thy name is yazid bar bar lanaton
ka nara lagate hain
hussain is hope humility peace humanity
every day is ashura every land is karbala
hum apni sason main keh jate hain

"Shah ast Hussain, Badshah ast Hussain,
Deen ast Hussain, Deen e Panah ast Hussain,
Sar dad, na dad dast, dar dast-e-yazeed,
Haqaa key binaey La ila ast Hussain"

"Ruler is Hussain, Emperor is Hussain,
Religion is Hussain, Sheild of religion (Islam )
is Hussain, Gave his head but not his hand to Yazid,
Maintainer of the truth is no one but Hussain"

"Shah bhe Hussain, badshah bhe Hussain.
Deen bhe Hussain hai, deen ki panah dene waala bhe Hussain hai.
Sar de dia, per na dia apna haath yazeed k haath mein.
Haqeeqat yeh hai k La Ilaa Ha IlLlah ki bunyaad he Hussain hai"

A Living Legend Of Knowledge And Faith - Maulana Mirza Mohomed Athar Saab

155,237 items / 1,223,354 views

I think it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of the needle but to evolve as Maulana Mirza Mohomed Athar Saab one has to be blessed from above, Athar Saab is a pride of our Shia community and an eminent scholar of Islam.

A non controversial Maulana hailing from the city of my birth Shaan e Avadh Lucknow,

Maulana Athar Saab is Humility and Humanity combined in one.. reciting Majlis continuously at the Moghul Masjid Mumbai for over 50 years speaks volumes of his caliber and his expertise on Islamic affairs spiritual and temporal, his Majlis the discourses on the Martyrdom of Imam Hussain, at Karbala the genocide the unnecessary killings under an Islamic tyrant and despot Yazid of the Ummayad Dyasty. shows the path of divergence between the Shias and the Sunnis .

And as this is my humble tribute to a polite person of great standing , whom I have known for several years and shot passionately, and Maulana Saab is the link with my Shia heritage and past, my maternal grand father Daroga Nabban Saab a poet who lived at Pata Nala close to Kankar Kua , a direct descendant of Shia poet Mir Anees.

I was born in my maternal grand fathers house and though I have distance myself from the city of my birth completely it is a memorable moment meeting Maulana Saab or his sons and shooting them at Moghul Masjid.


This time I did miss his son Maulana Yasoob Saab , and Athar Saab was getting ready to go for a recital of majlis at Breach Candy.

Mumbaikar Shias are hardcore fans of Athar Saab and at his majlis at Moghul Masjid which is telecast live all over Mumbai, people come from far flung areas to hear him out his message of Peace for all of us irrespective of caste color or creed.

There is no hate malice or double speak in his discourses ,he speaks as an Indian and a lover of Hussain and a kingdom without borders or barriers called Hussainiyat.


I shoot all religiosity and I am proud of the saffron in my soul which is part of my Indian culture , I am a Hindu Shia and proud of my ancestry and it was this noble country above all not Africa or Abyssinia that Imam Hussain wanted to come to , in order not provoke blood shed among dissenting Muslims during the reign Yazid and I believe because the Almighty could not fulfill this wish he created the Hindu Shias , Shias from the womb of Hindustan a land of Brahma Vishnu Mahadev..and this is my personal opinion as a poet photographer blogger who promotes Shia Sunni amity Hindu Muslim amity at all cost..this does nor include Wahabbism or other Shia hating factions and splinter groups.

I have shot a lot of Maulanas , but shooting Maulana Athar Saab in his humble quarters , spartan and frugal is the crux of a simple man with a goal of spreading peace through his wisdom and the depth of his knowledge,

Verily Maulana Athar Saab is a Banyan tree giving us shade and the fruit of wisdom and the values of our rituals our traditions that have kept Shiasm Alive ..just a single drop of a tear that fell from a Mothers eye was the birth of the soul of a Shia his pain.. Ghame Hussain His Life Maksade Karbala Maksade Hussain.

And because of Mashke Sakina and Alamdar the ocean of pain not running dry he created a reservoir bursting forth like an uncontrollable dam.. now you know why the Shia cries ..the Shia eyes is where our Faith lives and blooms from one generation to the next...
