ek pyas aisi
jo kuch
kehti nahi
sukha gala
chup
rehti rahi
ma ek yad aisi
tute
ghade
se behti gayi
kya kya sitam
sehti gayi
do lafz
pyar
ke kehti gayi
unki batey
dil o dimag
mein rehti rahin
woh hain wahan
aur hum
hain yahin
dedicated to a son yasoob abbas
I wrote this as father and shot this as a poet

The aura , the spiritual ambiance of Moghul Masjisd mesmerizes and catapults the human soul.. towards God, and God lives at Moghul Masjid and you need eyes of poet to see him too ..his beauty reflected in the fountain among the fishes living in peaceful coexistence..
I have been enamored by Moghul Masjid it draws me in , it brings out the photographer in me.. and when I poetize it, it transforms and metamorphoses me as the Shia barefeet blogger of Mumbai..
You have to see Moghul Masjid beyond its architectural beauty and grace , move through the winding corridors of you mind till you find God deep in the caverns of your heart.

when you are down
depressed sad and morose
filled with uncertainty and fear
come to moghul masjid
god lives here
within the sounds
of your heartbeat
as hope
he will appear
your pain
your sadness
inshallah
will soon disappear
like the fishes
in the fountain
go about life
with cheer
reflecting
ghame hussain
god embedded
in a tear
a mother who lost
everything
that she held dear
tilawate koran
truth reciting
prayers
on a spear
moharam
a pledge
ya hussain
a tryst
with humanity
a thought sincere
moghul masjid is under a new trusteeship.. a new hope for a heritage mosque a pride of our shia ancestry..

Important notice of Faith
for lovers of Ahle Bayt

The House Imambada is the cornerstone of faith in a Shia family house.
Some house Imambadas are complete rooms , some are just a niche in the wall ..
Hyderabad Lucknow have some memorable house Imambadas.
My friend Talib Rizvis house Imambada at Worli is visited by the general Shia public too including senior police officers who have found solace and peace of mind through the bounty of Imam Hussain.
Our house Imambada is a long wooden cabinet and has silver alams that are heirlooms of my paternal grandmother Khurshed Baji.. For Marziya this is her place of peace too..
Each morning she stand near the Imambada and head bowed will talk to God with words like Dada Ko De which means give Give my grand father she does not complete the sentence as God is aware of my needs more than anyone else.. .. yes Marziya knows my pain , more than anyone being gifted she is aware of my shortcomings too.
Every house Imambada is the history of a house its ups downs upheavals short bouts of success..happiness whatever.
I have shot some unique house Imambadas of old families in Lucknow all at Flickr..
The Nawabs of Hyderabad their house Imambadas are lavish like those of Hussain Kothi.. which are opened out to the people during Moharam celebrations.
My maternal grand mother Nazmi Begum widow of Daroga Nabban Saab descendant of poet Mir Anis kept a very simple house Imambada..after her husbands death in Lucknow.

a call from a bereaved mother
I shall go carrying her hanky
on which her tears flow
where will I be this Ashura
I do not know
towards the shores
of sorrow
I flow
like the winds I blow
a dagger in my hand
a camera in my soul
although
wading through
rivulets of blood
to and fro
barefeet blogger
of mumbai
his logo
ghame hussain
a belief
a pledge
you cant let go

a grief
moharam
with her heart
her soul she shares
hussain is humanity
wordlessly she bares
touching divinity
with her innocence
head bowed in prayers

Fatima ke dil ka chain haq pe fida ho gaya
Sar shae mazloom ka tan se juda hogaya
Aj hamara Imam hum se juda hogaya

My wife made this hijab for Marziya to wear when she goes for Majlis in Lucknow during Moharam.
marziya
the shia pride
akka
maulah hussain
her guide
hussainiyat
by her side
to save Islam
he made the
supreme
sacrifice
the pillars
of evil he defied
he lives
he never died
1400 years
moharam
a protest
against terrorism
world wide
for him
we cried
bleeding within
bleeding outside
azadari e hussain
will never subside
every street corner
every roadside
the chant of ya hussain
the soul tear eyed
every day is ashura
every land is karbala
beyond man made borders
time and tide
