hamare ghar ke gul gule khane
pados se mehman aya tha
hamare ghar ke gul gule
made in lucknow mashoor hai
biwi ne bade dilon jan se pakaya tha
nakhas ki khushboo shehre avadh ka
shurwa milaya tha
hamare padosi
ne apne ghar ke liye
parcel bhi liya
aur khud bhi khoob
maze se khaya tha

gul gule
khao
khilao
salamat raho
zehra ki dua hai
sada khush raho
kothe pe jakar
putle jalao
nacho gao
lal kapde
pehnkar
gulal udao
holi jaisi
tyohar hai
masti manao
jhoom jao
aj ke din
phir ek bar
jalnewalon
ka dil jalao
navi ke din
phir ek bar
shayar ban jao
tuk bandi hi sahi
kuch toh sunao
lanat ka pahad
unke sar par chadao
aj sat khoon maf
picture hall main
jakar pop corn khao
bacche biwi ko
sat le jao

The young boys of Jafari United Social troop are ardent Shias,. though they voluntarily take part assisting the matamdars who do zanjir and kama zani, many a times these holistic healers too scourge their backs, but most of them do kama matam, and these bravehearts abound during Moharam at Kaisar bagh..and these boys are polite kind courteous ..
These are boys that have taken care of my deep wounds on the head my unstoppable bleeding due to my diabetic condition , so this Malad Malwani Athvi series is dedicated to their selfless devotion to Shia society and Akka Maula Hussain.
Thank you Imran Bhai Akram Bhai and the rest of you at Just India.

The Fearless Shia Boy Does Kama Matam With a Kitchen Knife
The Fearless Shia Boy Does Kama Matam With a Kitchen Knife, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.
He and his kid brother both had bought kitchen knives , they had earlier marks of kama matam, so they were veterans at this ritual, totally unafraid, they were not accompanied by any adult so I surmised they must be Shia kids from this are of Mallwani Malad.
Both wore check shirts.. and I am sorry I did not even ask them their names.
Do Shia kids really need names..so I call them the fearless Shia boys of Malad Malwani.

Mohomed Ali Aga My Iran friend had bought his zanjir and asked me that he wanted to scourge his back,,I saw the glitter in his eyes , I told him to go ahead , as Mohomed Ali Aga is a Mauliee a great lover of Imam Hussain..
He was born in India loves India and so comes every year during Chehlum to India , he does Ashura either in Iran or Karbala Iraq.
His family owned a Irani hotel in Mumbai..he treats me as his family and so I bought him here to Malad Malwani for Athvi.
He is a very simple man and each year he sends one poor Irani for Ziyarat all expenses paid is the humanitarian love in his heart for his country and Imam Hussain.
And it is hard to believe that I shot this man every year during Chehlum at Rehmatabad in Mumbai but never knew him or ever shared a word with him.
It was meeting him at Hussain Tekri at Vasi Lodge with Ali Shah that we became friends and traveled back to Mumbai in the same train from Ratlam.
So we both participated in two Chehlums.
He than came home after the Mira Road juloos met my family Marziya Shakir my 3 year old grand daughter and he is now my family friend in the true sense.
