a moment
in memory
that never
fades
ghame hussain
in the shia
soul inlaid
protesting
yazidiyat
from one
generation
to the next
we wade
he gave
his head
but his faith
he did
not trade
Islam from
becoming
a fiefdom
of accursed
yazid
he saved

its a pity
a part
of Islam
to accursed
yazid
is still
enslaved
a path
with bombs
with killings
of innocent
people paved
as terrorism
contemptuously
engraved
hussainiyat lives
yazidiyat caved

Ali the King of Kings

the magic of my rings
a poem on broken wings
flying
hither tither
slithering spiritually a it clings
ali the king of kings
nade ali
words without borders
to the helpless succor brings
najahul balagha
words of wisdom
among all good things
live like ali die like hussain
the spirit as it sings
karbala ashura
two pillars of Islam
certainly says something

Ham aap k seenay pe to Matam nahe kartay???

Kehtay hain baray fakhar se hum gham nahe kartay…

Matam ki sada suntay hain matam nahi kartay…

Woh log bhala samjhein gey kya Ramz-e-Shahadat…

Jo Eid to kartay hain Moharram nahe kartay…

Keon aap ka dill jalta hai? keon jalta hai seena???

Ham aap k seenay pe to Matam nahe kartay???

Sunni Maulana Hamza Ashrafi of Malegaon At Cafe Sahil Reciting Majlis

Kon kehta hai, K pani ko tarste the “HUSSAIN”,?

~ Un K honton ko, tarsta raha pyasa pani…

~ Selaab dekhta hon, tu Aata hai yeh ‘Khyal’,

K pani bhatak raha hai,
“Talash_e_Huseen” men.

Hassan Kazmi of Cafe Sahil

Hassan Kazmiis the owner of Cafe Sahil Mumbai Central a Irani born Indian I love as my own brother it is Hassan who promotes Sunni Shia amity in a predominantly Sunni locality.. he is a humble soul a devout Shia and a great human being..
He leads from the front and is an asset to our Shia community ..

Sunni Shia Amity In Mumbai..

Shia Sunni amity is what keeps the city of Mumbai in everlasting peace unfortunately and I hate to say it the only repercussion comes from Wahabbi hate for Shia ideology or Shia pain , the skirmishes at Imamwada shame us all.. I mean why cant the Shias advocate their pain in public.. a heritage of pain that is part of the Shia way of life.

I distance myself from any sect of Islam that promotes and encourages secraian strife in Mumbai.. Mumbai is the city of my hope and my destiny and my childrens destiny too..
That is why I am in a comfortable zone with the Hindus Christians of Mumbai.. I shoot their religious feasts customs as passionately as I shoot my own I dont shoot Ijtimas or gatherings where Salafist tout inter faith and hold their own ideology as a way of life.. I done believe in tele evangelists that spew hate on others ..

Yes now you know why I am happy if you too call me a Hindu Shia.. I would rather be called a Kafir or a derogatory name than be a member of a sect that spares no other religiosity save its own..
I am happy with the Sufis too.. the Malangs the Rafees and yes the Naga Sadhus and dead meat eating Aghori Sadhus too.

and

the thirst
was not
water
it was values
traditions
love of allah
of respect
of the holy
prophet's
family
of his
only daughter
that yazid
for lust power
grandeur
decided
to slaughter
he gave
his head
not his
hand
as the winds
in karbala
became
bloodier
hotter
he gave away
everything did not
keep a quarter
watering pots
that symbolize
ghame hussain
bleeding hands
of the potter
