Lovers of Imam Hussain – The Baluchis, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

the baluchis
are an intrepid
ancient race
with history
written on their face
lovers of imam hussain
ahle bayt they embrace
their deportment
dignity and grace
living in their
own private
cloistered mind space
to Syria their ancestry trace
dreams of hope
of a better life
for their children
they chase

Maloon Israr Ahmed Serpent Seed, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

spawned from the bloodstream of yazid
maloon israr ahmed serpent seed
misquotes the holy scriptures
but no respect for caste or creed
a malicious bastard his mom did breed
powered by petro dollar posonous feed
he and his yazidi followers the ummah mislead
a khalnayak of mumbai and his misdeed
not for the glory of universal Islam
only for greed
Muslims love killing Muslims
Islam bleeds
women and children used as shields
in battle of terrorism
the killing fields
Ali a spiritually kinetic force
that wont yield

dedicated to the shias of mumbai..

Alam Abbas, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

ek naya paigham
ek nayi roshni
hamare dil me le aya
abbas ka saya
jo chaha
hamne
hardam paya
mashke sakina
ghame hussain
karbala
ashura
apne sat le aaya
hussainiyat ke nam ka
pharera lahraya
lanat dushmane ahle bayt par
lanat yazid mauwiyah par
yeh waqt ne kahlaya
azadari e hussain
ne hamare ghar ko
sajaya
ek alam abbas ne
hame kya kya dikhlaya
yazidiyat ko kuchalne ke liye
ali ke sher jo aaya

on the shoulders
of his father
he sits
ya hussain
ya hussain
his head
with a sabre
he splits
with this
single act
on the
soul of yazidiyat
he spits
terrorism of humanity
by jehhadis
misguided martyrdom
betrayal of Islam
a chaotic world
in the pits
killing of innocents
Islam does not permit
sealed silence
on spiritual battlefields
rogue Mullahs
will never admit

The Shias Bleed

Yes the Shia bleed
Do take heed
Unlike the radical Muslim
they dont kill others
or drop bombs
suicide bombers
for spiritual greed
Muslims love killing Muslims
a thought they dont heed
puritanical pristine
So dont just curse the Shias
Curse the Father of Terrorism
Tyrant Yazid
Born of a Serpent Seed
a bigot who killed
Imam Hussain
with his barbaric deed
Mocking Islam
Islamic Womanhood
he had no creed
the Holy Prophets grandson
the Holy Prophets legacy
with his own Ummyad longings
he tried to superceede
we as Shias remind
you  year after year
with the chant of Ya Hussain
that Karbala we wont concede
allah ho akbar
shah ast hussain
badshah ast hussain
we will succeed
Hussain is Humanity
indeed
your hate for Shias
Shiasm
nothing but
a cybernetic cancer weed
be what you are
with your poisonous hate
dont mislead
this poetic message
of truth
Ghame Hussain
between the lines
you dont have to read

KHALNAYAK-YAZID, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

Accursed Yazid
A Khalnayak
On the soul of Islam
An evil despot
Power hungry
No human values
The father of terrorism
He caused much harm
Yazidiyat an animal farm
Shah Ast Hussain
Badshah Ast Hussain
Gave his head but not his hand
Mashke Sakina tears molten and warm
A Pledge
A Trust
Kept alive
Abbas Alamdar
A force of kinetic energy
They could not unarm
Karbala and Ashura
Our lucky charm
Verily Yazid did not hear the alarm
Fourth Imam
The Kutbas of Zainab
Sham Sham Sham

Haq Ali Ali..Late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

posted at buzznet April 20, 2006

I think no Qawwal in a life time has left an indelible mark of his music on the consciousness of Mankind like the great Nusrat Fatheh Ali Khan.. and there will never be a voice to  take his place , people like Nusrat Saab come to this plante once in a life time sprinkle love and move away to other parched land s beyond this planet.

If I hear Nusrat Saabs Ali Haq I go into Kaif , and I gave up my walkman because of this I fell down at Carter Road Promenade with fits , at home music is nullified , its a strict Shia home , wifes law runs , and so I listen to Nohas of Nasir Jahan, Zia and Sacchey,  even after Moharam gets over , and Moharam is a way of life and not an isolated  Shia  month in a calendar .

This is my humble tribute to the greatest Qawwal of all time.

Haq Ali Ali {Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan}

ali imam manasto manam ghulaam e ali
hazaar jaan e giraami fida e naam e ali
haideree m kalam daram mastam
banda e murtaza ali hastam
peshwa e tamaam marda na moon
ke sage kue sher-e-yazdaanam
kabhi deewar hilti hai kabhi dar kaamp jaata hai
ali ka naam sunkar ab bhi khyber kaamp jaataa hain
shaah-e-mardaan ali
ali mola ali, ali mola ali
jab jaan tan se nikale labb par mere yahi hoga
ali mola ali, ali mola ali
japle japle re manwaa
yahi naam sachcha hain pyaare
yahi naam tere sab dukh taale
isi naam kee barkat ne diye raaz e haqeeqat khol
tu bhi kar ali, ali mola ali
kab kisee be nawaa se kahta hoon
sab ke haajait rawaan se kahta hoon
baat sher-e-khuda se kahtaa hoon
door hoja nazar se ae mushkil
warna mushkil khusha se kahta hoon
kyunki woh hain mere ali ali
shaah-e-mardaan ali
la fata lillaah ali
sher-e-yazdaan ali
haq ali ali ali mola ali ali
tan par ali ali ho zubaan par ali ali
marjaaoon to kafan pe bhi likh na ali ali
haq ali ali ali mola ali ali
bagaair hubb e ali muddaa a nahin milta
ibaadaton ka bhi hargiz silaa nahin milta
khuda ke bando suno gaur se khuda ki kasam
jise ali nahin milte khuda nahin milta
k(b)asak talaash na kuch us ate nazar se mila
nishaan e manzil e maqsood raahbar se milaaa
ali mile to mile khaana-e-khuda se hamein
khuda ko dhoondha to wo bhi ali ke ghar se mila
khuloos-e-dil se ali ka jo naam leta hai
wohi to lazzat umr e tamaam leta hain
khuda ke bando suno gaur se khuda ki kasam
ali ka naam to girto ko thaam leta hai.
paigumbari ke chaand ka haala ali ali
baatil ki teergi ka ujaala ali ali
paigaam e k(t)irthgaar ka jauhar ali ali
imaan ke sadakh ka hai gauhar ali ali
ustaad e jibraaeel e mukarram ali ali
mola-e-kaaenaat muazamm ali ali
sardar e ambiyaan ka tabassumm ali ali
chashm-e-junoon e afzal o akram ali ali
ibaadaton ka jo unwaan hai to zikr e ali
kamaal e markaz e imaan hai to zikr e ali
sukoon e qalb ka saamaan dhoondhne waalon
sukoon e qalb ka saamaan hai to zikr e ali

altaaf e be badal ka khazaana ali ali
insaan ki azmaton ka taraana ali ali
nazar haqeeqat shinaas paayi to kya kahoon kis ada ko dekha
har ek zarre mein jalwe farmaan mohammad o murtaza ko dekha
kasam khuda ki ali nabi se
nabi ali se juda nahin hain
ali ko dekha nabi ko dekha
nabi ko dekha khuda ko dekha
sahar hui shab-e-meraaj ki to logon ne
jamaal e paak rukh e syed ul bashar dekha
kahaa ghulaamon ne humse bhi kijeeye irshaad
jo kuch huzur ne yaasha ah arsh par dekha
to harfashaa hue lale labe rasool e kareem
ajeeb martaba haider ka arsh par dekha
wali wali ke sada thee jahaan jahaan pahoche
ali ali nazar aaye jidhar jidhar dekha
deed haider ki ibaadat hai ye farmaan-e-nabi
deed haider ki sab karlo
jinki mahfil ho woh mahfil mein zaroor aate hain
aao sab kar lo deed haider kee sab kar lo
nigaah e raah mein bichaado ke aap aaye hai
dilon to farsh bana do ki aap aaye hain
deed haider ki sab karlo
deed haider ki ibaadat hai ye farmaan-e-nabi
hai ali rooh e nabi jism nabi jaan nabi
gul e tatheer ali haq ki shamsheer ali

har ek wali ke dil ki sadaa hai ali ali
khu(r)l de baree ki aab o hawaa hai ali ali
jo aaye haq ka raahnumaa hai ali ali
mahboob e mustafaa-o-khuda hain ali ali

Hum to Aliwale Hain Hum to Aliwale Hain

The words of this poem kept beating my head since morning while I was at Chor Bazar  at the flea market , I am not adept with the Urdu Language  except the one used in domesticity at home..for me poetry is emotions beyond the vagaries of the written word…and it should not make one run towards a dictionary , poetry of pain needs no lexicon…it translates itself from within….

Hum to Aliwale hain

Hum to Aliwale hain

Allah aur Ahle Bait ke

Hum to chahnewale hain

Hum to Aliwale hain

Hum to Ali wale hain

Eid e Zahara

Eid e Ghadeer

Manane wale hain

Hum to Aliwale hain

Hum to Aliwale hain

Moulah moulah kehke

Moulaee rahne wale hain

Hum to Aliwale hain

Hum to Aliwale hain

Bur Umar par lanat

Hum to kehnewale hain

Hum to Aliwale hain

Humto Aliwale hain

Hussainyat ke chahne wale hain

Hum toh Aliwale hain

Hum to Aliwale hain

Maksade Fatima ke aansu bahane wale hain

Hum to Aliwale hain

Hum to Aliwale hain

Maksade Hussain ko zinda rakhne wale hain

Hum to Aliwale hain

Hum to Aliwale hain

Hum ko na darao hum na darnewale hain

Hum to Ali wale hain

Hum to Ali wale hain

Nade Ali padkar hum dar ko bhaganewale hain

Hum to Aliwale hain

Hum to Aliwale hain

Maskhke Sakina ko teeron se bachane wale hain

Hum to Aliwale hain

Hum to Aliwale hain

Abbas ke kate haton par furat ka pani basane wale hain

Hum to Aliwale hain

Hum to Aliwale hain

Kazmain mein sade teen putla jalane wale hain

Lal kapde pahankar  gul gule khanewale  hain

Hum to Aliwale hain

Hum to Aliwale hain

Hum se na takrana hum to Najaf wale hain

Hum to Aliwale hain

Hum to Aliwale hain

Is bar bhi Moharam mein Azaadari karnewale hain

Matam karnewale hain

Chhati peetne wale hain

Kama zani karne wale hain

Zanzir zani karne wale hain

Bade Imam Bade mein

Aag ke sholon pe chalne wale hain

tumhari nafrat ke mohalle se alam uthane wale hain

Majlis  e Hussain ko zinda rakhne wale hain

Nakhas se Chup Tazia  aur Ghabrayegi Zainab  sunane wale hain

Hum to Ali wale hain

Hum to Ali wale hain

Do mahina aath din kale kapde pahnne wale hain

Khatmal tum hame kahlo hum yazidyat ko kuchalne wale hain

Hum to Aliwale hain

Hum to Aliwale hain

Gali gali kunche kunche mein Sher e Khuda ke nale hain

Jannat me jakar hum tumhara entzar dozak mein karne wale hain

Hum to Aliwale hain

Hum to Aliwale hain

hamare bache aur unke bachon ke bacche

Ya Hussain

Ya Hussain

kehke jeenewale hain

Hum to Ali wale hain

Hum to Ali wale hain

Dedicated to my   maternal grandfather Daroga Nabban Saab buried at Gufr Map in an unmarked  grave… the defiance in my poem is towards those who think they can erase the Martyrdom  of Imam  Hussain by miplaced and misapproriated Purtanism of their distorted thought.

Every unborn child in  a Shia mothers womb waiting to be born brings  forth a piece of the burning sand of Karbala..
