Hyderabads Pride Bibi Ka Alam 2012
My new set at Flickr.com .
After I had cut my head at Bargah shot the Alam Abbas of Choti Bargah I came to my room showered and rushed to catch up with the Bibi Ka Alam that had already crossed Charminar.
My friend Sajjad Bhai and his son Alamdar accompanied me I caught up with the Bibi Ka Alam at Panje Shah , I had an injury on my feet plus my bleeding head , my camera bag Sajjad Bhai carried for me and I shot the journey of the Bibi Ka Alam from this point till the end Chadar Ghat.
And thanks to Sajjad Bhai a policeman I could push my way into the main procession heavily guarded as the elephant has precious pouches of gemstones .
My friend Abid Bhai sits on the Elephant along with the Mutawalli of Bibi Ka Alawa and the Mahout a friendly famous face of Hyderabad .
Our Birthright .. Is Ghame Hussain

my father
placed
the kama
on my head
i did not
need
to know
i cried
i felt pain

pain of
karbala
i know
i too
will place
the kama
on my childs
head he
has to feel
what we
all know
some
things
you are
born with
some things
automatically
within your
soul grows
hussain
ya hussain
in our
blood
flows
on ashura out
it goes
we were born
muslims
but it
is the path of
ali we chose
karbala har jagah
ashura har roz
