In the Defence of Hussain, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

karbala on the face of Islam
an immortal stain
eunuch silence
1400 years
we the shias fight
a case in the court of Allah
in the defence
of Hussain
yes I shoot faces
I shoot pain
maybe a great blood loss
but the cause of hussainiyat
our gain
we will continue this protest
from generation to generation
Shiasm a path to
Allah..
Simple and plain
beneath the layer red
a history of a blood stain
he gave his head but not his hand
to Yazid the Butcher of the Ummayads
need we explain
those who brainwashed history
could not white wash our brains


I dedicate this poem to
Maulana Mirza Athar Saab..in reverence and gratitude.. of his 51 years of non stop recitation of Majlis at Moghul Masjid.
