14 sadyon se aqeedy ka safar jari ha.
Zindagi ALAY-E-MOHAMMAD se wafadari hai.
Humko tasleem NAMAZON ki fazeelat laikin.
BINT-E-ZAHRA ki tammana yeh AZADARI hai.

Mazloom ka gham gardish-e-doraa`n se juda hai
Ye dard har ik dil ke khazane mein chupa hai
Har waqt jhapakti hui aankho`n ko zara dekh
Gar matam-e-Shabbir (a.s.) nahi hai to ye kia hai?

This evening I came directly from work t shoot the Guru Nanak Park juloos , and was saddened by the fact that Munir Bhai had a heart attack last Friday and was recuperating at a hospital in Andheri , his brothers Wazir Bhai and Asghar were there , I did miss Munir Bhai and had no heart in shooting this juloos .

I shot parts of it rushed home with SK Abbas to change into more casual clothes and bring Marziya my 4 year old grand daughter to shoot the zanjir matam of the kids but Marziya was tired and heading for bed .

I came back shot the juloos but my feet were aching so I again rushed home and decided to shoot the procession when it reaches the Shia Khoja mosque past midnight..

I shot the hardcore zanjir sword matam and most of the guys I think will do their matam on Chelum like me too..

So I dedicate this set to Munir Bhai please be kind enough pray for his speedy recovery.. he led this juloos from the front and was the heart soul of this memorable procession from their house at Bashiron Guru Nanak Park via Almeida Park till the Shia Khoja mosque..

Picture of me and Shakir Mirza a very dear friend from Yari Road Andheri..
