It rained
chehlum
at shahe marda
in delhi
a very
heavy rain
when
I spotted
this shia lady
fully covered
yet through
my camera eye
I read her pain
her silence
stopped all motion
emotion
just devotion
I heard a whisper
a name
reverberating
in the rain
in the soundless
corridors of my
consciousness
a single name
1400 years pain
the sands of karbala

shah ast hussain
badshah ast hussain
deen ast hussain
deen panah ast hussain
haqqe bina
lailaha ast hussain
a thought so plain
as [...]
