Searching for Hussain

Searching for Hussain, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

abbas dodhiya
searches for hussain
at karbala iraq
I search for hussain
at kaisar bagh
the imam
is closer to us in India
right on track
year after year
with tears in our eyes
we call him back
I dont need a passport
or a visa
shah ast hussain
badshah ast hussain as
name plate on my hearts plaque
karbala and ashura
two pillars of Islam
that no Yazid
could hijack
death where is thy sting ?
an answer to shimrs attack
recognize us as shias
without borders
an army of Imams soldiers
in black
with the power of hussainiyat
allah ho akbar
yazidiyat will crack
our lanats
our curses
on eid e zehra
we unpack
