A river flows from my head



A river flows from my head

a river flows from
my head
the color red
year after year
ya hussain
it has bled
bringing back
karbala
memories of the living dead
a shroud of sorrow
in which my soul lies
wrapped in a bedspread
softly silently
no fear no dread
allah ho akbar
into the cosmic consciousness
of my karma and dharma
it is led
shah ast hussain
badshah ast hussain
the khwajah gharib nawaz
has rightly said

this time again Habib Nasser and his friends put on display the Iraqi Kama Matam like they had done in Ashura.
However there were more participants and a greater number of younger kids.
This was a very well synchronised choreography of pain, helping Nasser were Baqar , Kallu , Razi and others, as this time Habib was well armed with his camera…
