karbala ashura
two lamps in her eyes
our path to paradise
a love of hussain
no taqqaya
no disguise
he gave his head
but not his hand
he paid a price
to save
the pillars
of islam
on the soul
of humanity
a great sacrifice
hussain lives
yazid is dead
only his followers
their canard their lies
hands folded
their hopes
yet to reach
the skies
shiasm
its resurgence
its rise
now you know
why the shia bleeds
why the shia cries
with his faith
he does not
compromise
every yazid
he defies
through
the bleeding blades
his kamazani
his zanjir matam
sword matam
he replies
lanat
on the killers
of hussain
an act of terrorism
we all despise

The Nation
will survive
dead for
30 years
now once
more alive
with the blood
of the martyred
once again revived
Egypt the land
of the River Nile
admirable
versatile
love without guile
dont ever
under estimate
the hope of
the people
rank and file
tyrants of
the middle east
your time has come
the will of
the people
by the people
for the people
you reviled
your pomp
your billions
your grandeur
will soon
crumble
home on a
garbage pile
says Time with a
smirk and smile
change your ways
your dictatorial
despotic style
be human
less hostile
ponder
think for
a while
Athvi Amary Juloos Malad Malwani 2011

This is my new set at Flickr.com shot this evening at Malwani No 6 Malad.
Athvi brings to an end two month eight days of Shia mourning of Moharam.
Tomorrow the Shias will celebrate Eid E Zehra the Mother of all Eids..paying tribute to Princess Fatima Zehra the only daughter of the Holy Prophet mother of Imam Hassan and Hussain.
I have shot Athvi in Lucknow , and Mehmoodabad I have shot Athvi at Govandi but I find solace at Malad , so this was second year of shooting this event that begins with a caravan called Amary, a juloos with camels and several Zuljanas, taboots and the last day of mourning for the Shias.
This juloos at Malad has grown ever since , huge crowds of Shia men women and children come here , and take part in the procession that ends with hardcore kamazani and zanjir zani.
I was accompanied by Mohomed Ali Aga Iran, my dear friend , he too did fierce zanjir matam , I shot the JUST First Aid guys of Jafari United Social Troop India cleaning the wounds doing exemplary service to the Shia mourners and matamdars.
I bought Mohomed Ali Aga home to have dinner with my family and see my Flickr Shia sets , I have been shooting Mohomed Ali Aga Iran in Mumbai but just came to know him this year at HussainTekri Jaora.
He is based in Yazd very close to Tehran...His children ar Abul Fazl, Mohsin , Mujtaba and Amir and two grandchildren Fatima and Subhan.
Marziya my three year old grand daughter the youngest street photographer in the world shot him during his last trip at my home, Marziya is now away at her maternal grand parents so Mohomed Ali Aga missed her the most..
