nehr pe hazrate abbas ke laashe ke qareeb
ek behan khastatano kushta jigar khufta naseeb
benawa bekaso bepardao lachaar-o-ghareeb
lekin uspar bhi mohamad ke gharane ki naqeeb
zard chehre pe hai bikhre hue balon ki naqaab
jaise juzdanu may lipti hui ismat ki kitab
jabaja jism pe hai khoon ke dhabo ke nishan
jaise pidi may uthayi ho koi laahshe jawan
waram ankhon may kamal kham hai to khamosh zaban
zapt ka phir bhi ye aalam hai ke girya na fughan
kaun bibi hai jo is tarha se jaan khoti hai
jis tarha laash pe bhai ke behan roti hai
mehwiyat ka hai ye aalam ke nazar hat-ti nahi
choomti hai kabhi shane to kabhi jhuk ke jabeen
kabhi tharra-ta hai laasha kabhi maqtal ki zameen
khauf hai arshe ilaahi na ulat jaye na kahin
lashe abbas pe ye dukhtare hyder to nahi
dekhiye dekhiye ye zainabe muztar to nahi
roke kehti hai utho sahibe shamsheer utho
hydere asr utho waqt ke shabbir utho
aale tatheer ki soyi hui taqdeer utho
kaat do abide dilgeer ki zanjeer utho
aag hi aag hai bhadki hui qaimo may tamam
chin gayi sar se rida jati hoo mai suye sham
shane kya tere kate band gayi bazu may rasan
sar pe kya gurz laga hogayi beparda behan
teri kya jaan gayi maare gaye shahe zaman
fasle gul aisi luti hogaya barbaad chaman
chain se soyenge sab ahle sitam raton ko
khaufe aada se na so paenge hum raton ko
waqte ruqsat hai mere sher ijazat de mujhe
qafila chalne ko tayyar hai himmat de mujhe
qilmane kufr jala doo wo hararat de mujhe
yani taqreer may shamsheer ki qaslat de mujhe
ran may shamsheer chalana mere kaam nahi
sham o kufa na ulat doo to mere naam nahi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shia Muslims are a large minority among India's Muslims. There has been no particular census conducted in India with regards to sects, but Indian sources claimed the Shia population in mid 2005–2006 was between 25% and 31% of the entire Muslim population of India which accounts them in numbers between 40,000,000[1][2] to 50,000,000 plus[3] of the 157 million Indian Muslim population.[4] However, as per an estimation of one reputed Shia NGO Alimaan Trust, India's Shia population in early 2000 was around 30 million with Sayyids comprising just a tenth of the Shia population.[5] According to some national and international sources Indian Shia population is the world's second-largest after Iran.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]
Shia population was also acclaimed publicly as second largest by the 14th Indian Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh quoted in the year 2005.[15][16] One of the lingering problems in estimating the Shia population is that unless the Shia form a significant minority in a Muslim country, the entire population is often listed as Sunni. Shiites are estimated to be 21–35 percent of the Muslim population in South Asia, although the total number is difficult to estimate due to the intermingling between the Islamic schools and branches and practice of taqiyya by Shias.[17]
There are many big and small towns and villages with a majority Shiite Muslim population in India. Many Sayyids between 11th to 16th century migrated to the Indian subcontinent to escape the persecution of Shias in mostly Sunni ruled Middle East,[18] Prominent places in India with majority or considerable Shia Muslim population are Kargil, Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Lucknow, Hallaur, Amroha, Budgam District and others.
Among the Shias of India, an overwhelming majority belongs to the Ithna Ashari (Twelver) division, while the Shias among the Khoja and Bohra communities are Ismaili.[19] Dawoodi Bohras are primarily based in India, even though the Dawoodi theology originated in Yemen. India is home to the majority Dawoodi Bohra population most of them concentrated in Gujarat out of over 1 million followers worldwide.[20]
History[edit]
As per historical evidences and the genealogy maintained by the Sayyids who migrated to India from the Middle East, the history of Shia Islam in India traces long back, around 1000 years. According to historical records earliest known Muslim settlers in Awadh region (now a part of state of Uttar Pradesh) were father and son duo Saiyed Salar Dawood Ghazi and Saiyed Saiyed Salar Masud Ghazi.[21] In 422 AH/1030 AD Saiyed Salaar Dawood Ghazi his son Saiyed Salaar Masud Ghazi and nefew Saiyed Salaar Sulaiman established themselves at Satrikh (also known as Sulaimanabad), district Barabanki, Uttar Pradesh. In the year 462 AH/1070 AD Saiyed Abdullah Zarbaqsh and Saiyed Zaid Shahsawar viz. the son-in-law and grandson (daughter's son) of Saiyed Salaar Dawood Ghazi established the town Zaidpur, district Barabanki, Uttar Pradesh. The rulers of various dynasties of India and also in the 11th century the rulers of Multan and Sindh were adherents of Shia Islam.[22] The Nawabs of Awadh[23]
Shia culture and belief has left its influence all over India with Imam Hussein ibn Ali becoming the revered personality in India not only for the Shias but also from non-Muslim communities, especially the Hindus of northern India who participate in ceremonies commemorating Hussein ibn Ali's martyrdom on the Day of Ashura.
Shaykh al-Mufid writes that before the Battle of Karbala, Hussein ibn Ali and the commander of the enemy forces, Umar ibn Saad, met at night and talked together for a long time. After that meeting Umar ibn Saad sent a letter to the Governor of Kufa, Ubayd-Allah ibn Ziyad in which he wrote that Hussein ibn Ali has suggested that he go to ‘one of the border outposts’ of the rapidly expanding Muslim empire as a way of resolving conflict.[24] Other traditions name that border outpost as Al Hind or India. Even though Hussein ibn Ali himself was not able to go to India, some of the Shia did emigrate there for various reasons, including those who came as refugees from Umayyads and Abbasids persecution.[25] These refugees brought with them rituals which kept alive the remembrance of Karbala and their Shia Identity.[26]
Its narrated by Abd al Razzaq al Muqarram in his work of Maqtal al-Husayn that prior to his martyrdom, Al-Abbas ibn Ali while asking water for Mohammad's family from the Yazid I's army expressed his desire to go either Rome or to India. This made some people weep in the army of Yazid.[27]
It has been believed that in 7th century few ladies from the household of Prophet Mohammad after Battle of Karbala came to Punjab province which became a part of Pakistan. One of the prominent of them was Ruqayyah bint Ali, the daughter of Ali through his wife Umm ul-Banin, Ruqayyah bint Ali was the sister of Al-Abbas ibn Ali and wife of Muslim ibn Aqeel. Still her shrine in Lahore, Punjab of Pakistan, is visited by people all around and she is referred as Bibi Pak Daman.
Due to the Mughal's admiration for Persian culture, might and power, Persians Shias were invited to migrate to South Asia to prosper and obtain high positions in the Muslim Sultanates and later in the Mughal Empire. There were also rebels and nobles who lost royal favour and migrated to Mughal Empire. The Mughals also preferred to employ foreign Muslim officials that had no local interests and thus were loyal to the Mughal emperor. The Mughal empereor Humayun who fled to Persia due to Sher Shah Suri's conquereing of much of his empire, the benevolent Shah Ismail I of the Safavids granted him help and thus Humayun returned with Persians soldiers and nobles to reclaim the throne, but this also increased the influence of the Shia Persians in Mughal Empire.
Persecution[edit]
Persecution of Shia Islam in India begins from Kashmir where Ashura Procession is banned decades ago. shias are not allowed to mourn on the day of Ashura in Kashmir imposing strict restrictions on procession openly violation the Freedom of religion in the state. Shiites in India faced persecution by some Sunni rulers and Mughal Emperors which resulted in the martyrdom of Indian Shia scholars like Qazi Nurullah Shustari (also known as Shaheed-e-Thaalis, the third Martyr) and Mirza Muhammad Kamil Dehlavi (also known as Shaheed-e- Rabay, the fourth Martyr) who are two of the five martyrs of Shia Islam.
Shias also faced persecution in India in Kashmir for centuries, by the Sunni invaders of the region which resulted in massacre of many Shias and as a result most of them had to flee the region.[28] Shias in Kashmir in subsequent years had to pass through the most atrocious period of their history. Plunder, loot and massacres which came to be known as ‘Taarajs’ virtually devastated the community. History records 10 such Taarajs also known as ‘Taraj-e-Shia’ between 15th to 19th century in 1548, 1585, 1635, 1686, 1719, 1741, 1762, 1801, 1830, 1872 during which the Shia habitations were plundered, people slaughtered, libraries burnt and their sacred sites desecrated.[28] Such was the reign of terror during this period that the community widely went into the practice of Taqya in order to preserve their lives and the honor of their womenfolk.[28] Village after village disappeared, with community members either migrating to safety further north or dissolving in the majority faith. The persecution suffered by Shias in Kashmir during the successive foreign rules was not new for the community. Many of the standard bearers of Shia Islam, like Sa’adaat (Saiyeds) or the descendants of the Prophet Mohammad and other missionaries who played a key role in spread of the faith in Kashmir, had left their home lands forced by similar situations.[28]
In post-Independence India, Shias are free to profess their faith without any restriction, and the day of Ashura is a observed as a holiday in many parts of the country, however, some degree of persecution remains in Kashmir region of India by the majority Sunni community.
India's role in battle of Karbala[edit]
Nathanvilal Wahshi, a Hindu Writer narrated about the arrival of a helper for Hussein ibn Ali’s cause on the eight day of Moharram. Hussein ibn Ali welcomed him and immediately confirmed his Indian Identity. Hussein ibn Ali then goes on to praise India and its people in the following words:
"The perfumed fragrance entered the realm of love from your country The cool breeze came to my grandfather Mohammad from that garden."[29]
Upon asking more about the guest’s background he finds out that he is an Indian merchant residing in neighboring city of Basra, his father had been entrusted with the treasury of the war booty by none other than Ali. For this reason the merchant holds himself morally responsible for assisting Hussein ibn Ali in any possible way when the later is in trouble. Hussein ibn Ali appreciated gesture, but discouraged the merchant from taking up arms in following words:
"Brother, in my opinion you are the beloved of the world In this country you are the treasure of India."[29]
Munshi Premchand further narrates the perception of this merchant on the part of Imam as suspicion about Hussein ibn Ali’s sincerity because of being a Hindu.
With tear filled eyes the traveler said: ”I am a Hindu, perhaps my fidelity is not convincing Master! Even though this heart is the land of Idol Temple In it is also lit the light of affection”.[29]
Hussein ibn Ali said : What have you said in passion, Why should my eyes doubt your fidelity? My lord is aware of my conscience. What’s the difference between Hindu and Muslim is the quest for truth. This has the guiding principle for the People of the Cloak or Ahl al-Kisa. ”.[30]
Shia Muslim Dynasties in India[edit]
Shiite Islam has deep rooted influence in present and history of India from North to South with various Shia Muslim dynasties ruling Indian provinces from time to time.
Few prominent ones of the Indian Shia Muslim dynasties are as follows:
Bahmani Sultanate (1347–1527 AD)
The Bahmani Sultanate also called the Bahmanid Empire or Bahmani Kingdom was a Muslim state of the Deccan in southern India and one of the great medieval Indian kingdoms.[31] Bahmanid Sultanate was the first independent Islamic and Shi'ite Kingdom in South India.[32] .
Sharqi Dynasty (1394 CE to 1479 CE)
The Sharqi sultanate was an independent medieval Shia Muslim dynasty of North India, one of the many kingdoms that came up following the disintegration of the Delhi Sultanate. Between 1394 CE to 1479 CE, Sharqi dynasty ruled from Jaunpur in the present day state of Uttar Pradesh.
Berar Sultanate (1490–1572 AD)
On the establishment of the Bahmani Sultanate in the Deccan (1348), Berar Sultanate was constituted one of the five provinces into which their kingdom was divided, being governed by great nobles, with a separate army. The perils of this system becoming apparent, the province was divided (1478 or 1479) into two separate provinces, named after their capitals Gawil and Mahur.
Bidar Sultanate (1489–1619 AD)
Bidar Sultanate was one of the Deccan sultanates of late medieval India. Its founder, Qasim Barid was a Turk, domiciled in Georgia. He joined the service of the Bahmani sultan Muhammad Shah III. He started his career as a Sar-Naubat but later became the Mir-Jumla (prime minister) of the Bahmani sultanate.
Qutb Shahi dynasty (1518–1687 AD)
The Qutb Shahi dynasty was a Turkic dynasty (whose members were also called the Qutub Shahis). They were the ruling family of the kingdom of Golconda in southern India. They were Shia Muslims and belonged to Kara Koyunlu.
Adil Shahi dynasty (1527–1686 AD)
The Adil Shahi dynasty ruled the Sultanate of Bijapur in the Western area of the Deccan region of Southern India from 1490 to 1686. Bijapur had been a province of the Bahmani Sultanate (1347–1518), before its political decline in the last quarter of the 15th century and eventual break-up in 1518. The Bijapur Sultanate was absorbed into the Mughal Empire on 12 September 1686, after its conquest by the Emperor Aurangzeb.[33]
Nawabs & Kings of Awadh (1722–1858 AD)
Of all the Muslim states and dependencies of the Mughal empire, Awadh had the newest royal family, the Nawabs of Awadh. They were ultimately descended from a Persian adventurer called Sa'adat Khan, originally from Khurasan in Persia.
Najafi Nawabs of Bengal (1757–1880)
The Najafi Dynasty of Nawabs of Bengal were Sayyids and were descendants of Prophet Muhammad through Al Imam Hasan ibn Ali, ruling from 1757 until 1880.
Nawabs of Murshidabad
Nawabs of Murshidabad succeeded the Nawabs of Bengal as Nawab Bahadur of Murshidabad, following Mansur Ali Khan's abdication. They got the title changed as the title of the Nawab of Bengal was abolished in 1880.They had little or no say in the share of the revenue collected and were ceased to use any force.
Nawabs of Rampur
Rampur, former princely state of British India. Previously ruled by Shiite Muslim Nawabs of Rampur, it was incorporated into the state of Uttar Pradesh in 1949.
Population and circumstances[edit]
India, the only non Muslim nation in the world with Shiite population of 4–5 percent of its entire population, has recognized the day of Ashura listed as Moharram as the Public Holiday in India. India also has the Birthday of Imam Ali as public Holiday in states of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, whose capital Lucknow is considered as the centre of India’s Shiite Muslim community. The Birthdate of Ali is not recognized by any country in any of its states other than India, Azerbaijan and Iran as public Holiday. It is also a known fact that when Saddam mercilessly quelled a Shia uprising in 1992. The world media remained silent and damage to the shrines of Hussein ibn Ali and his half-brother Al-Abbas ibn Ali, in the course of Baathist attempts to flush out Shia rebels was a tightly kept secret of the Saddam regime but Indian media Doordarshan was the only network in the world to have shown that footage.[34]
Asafi Imambara Lucknow, builed by Nawab Asaf ud Daulah one of the largest Imambara of India
India being a Secular state, Shiite Muslims in India practice their religion freely without any restriction.[35] However, in post Godhra riots a Shia Ex - Member of Parliament Ehsan Jafri was reported to be burnt to death by Hindu mob led by Indian National Congress leader Meghsingh Chaudhary, in his own residence in the state of Gujarat in 2002 during the Gulbarg Society massacre. The slain Ehsan Jafri was Meghsingh Chaudhary mentor during his early years in politics, and Chaudhary may have used the riots as an excuse to exact personal revenge due to a falling out.[36]
Shias also claim to be sidelined in India, hence the All India Shia Personal Law Board was formed after segregation from the All India Muslim Personal Law Board in 2005 to address the legal needs of the Shia population. AISPLB feels that there should be a national policy for the Shias to prevent their exploitation by vested interests. The attitude of the government towards Muslims especially in Maharashtra came in for criticism.[1] The newly formed All India Shia Personal Law Board had 69 members at the time of formation compared to 204 members in the All India Muslim Personal Law Board.[37] The Shia body had the support of the erstwhile royal family of Lucknow, some 2000 descendants of the family claim to have extended their support. Shias claim they have been sidelined by the Sunni-dominated law board, which was set up in 1972.[38] Maulana Mirza Mohammed Athar, president of the breakaway All India Shia Personal Law Board explained the reason for segregation saying that, Shias have formed a forum of themselves because the All India Muslim Personal Law Board never took interest in their well being." Shias and Sunnis do not interpret family laws in a similar way. Shiites also have different Mosques and Burial grounds in India."[38]
However, some external sources such as the BBC claim that there are close to 40 million Shia's in India[39] and the Pew Research Center figure them between 15 to 20 percent of the muslim population giving the numbers between 30,000,000 to 40,000,000.[40] However, the Pew Research Center report is not considered authentic by many Shias and also national and International reports after taking into consideration the report released by Britannica Book of the year in 1997 which put the estimates of Shia population in India in 1996 over 26,000,000[41][42][43] out of entire Indian Muslim population of 103,000,000 at that time.[44][45]
Community[edit]
There are notable Shia Muslims involved in many prominent Indian affairs, such as Arts, Business, Diplomates, Bureaucracrates, Journalism, Sports, Science, Religion, Literature, Politics, etc.
Azim Hashim Premji, being 3rd richest Indian, belongs to Shia community. Bismillah Khan, the winner of Bharat Ratna award is regarded as one of the most important figures in Indian music. In Politics, majority of Shia Muslims, like other Muslims of India are generally supporters of the Indian National Congress.[46][47][48]
Some Shia organisations in India include:-
Anjuman -e- Imamia (Bangalore)
All India Shia Personal Law Board
Madrasah al Waizeen (College of preachers)
Jamia Nazmia
Sultan al Madaris
Anjuman Haideri Hallaur
Shia Companions organisation[49]
Azadari in India[edit]
Husainabad Imambara also known as Chota Imambara at Husainabad, Lucknow, built in 1838 by King Mohammad Ali Shah of Awadh
See also: Azadari in Lucknow
Azadari or the mourning practice of Imam Husain ibn Ali is very much prevalent across India.[50] One thing which is worth noting in Indian Azadari is the participation of non Muslims in Shia rituals on the day of Ashura.[51][52][53]
The Hindu rulers of Vijayanagar during the 16th and 17th centuries even donned blackened garments and helped to arrange the Kala Tazia (Black Tazia) processions. Even the Scindias of Gwalior and the Holkar Maharajas of Indore conducted Majlis or Muharram congregations.[54] In Lucknow Hindus regularly join Muslims in the Azadari and Alam processions. The Sufi saints of India along with the Shi'ite Scholars encouraged the mixing and merging of indigenous elements from the rich cultural heritage of the land to that of Muharram thus proclaiming the message of peaceful co-existence among communities and united resistance to tyrannical authority.[54]
The carrying of Alams through fire by men is more common. There are several occasions when these are traditionally practiced particularly in the town of Vizianagaram 550 km outside of Hyderabad where 110 Alams are taken through the fire. A significant aspect of firewalking in the context of Moharram commemorations in Andhra Pradesh is the participation of Hindus in the ceremonies. In Vizinagaram 109 of the Alams are carried by Hindus.[55] The Grand Ashura Procession In Kashmir is banned by the state government of Kashmir. It has imposed illogical restrictions over it . Alipur a small town located in karnataka south India with a population about 20000 around 95% of whole town. Alipur is also much famous for Azadari during Muharram well known reciters will come to town an address the Majalis.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Darning is a sewing technique for repairing holes or worn areas in fabric or knitting using needle and thread alone. It is often done by hand, but it is also possible to darn with a sewing machine. Hand darning employs the darning stitch, a simple running stitch in which the thread is "woven" in rows along the grain of the fabric, with the stitcher reversing direction at the end of each row, and then filling in the framework thus created, as if weaving. Darning is a traditional method for repairing fabric damage or holes that do not run along a seam, and where patching is impractical or would create discomfort for the wearer, such as on the heel of a sock.
Darning also refers to any of several needlework techniques that are worked using darning stitches:
Pattern darning is a type of embroidery that uses parallel rows of straight stitches of different lengths to create a geometric design.
Net darning, also called filet lace, is a 19th century technique using stitching on a mesh foundation fabric to imitate lace.
Needle weaving is a drawn thread work embroidery technique that involves darning patterns into barelaid warp or weft threads.
In its simplest form, darning consists of anchoring the thread in the fabric on the edge of the hole and carrying it across the gap. It is then anchored on the other side, usually with a running stitch or two. If enough threads are criss-crossed over the hole, the hole will eventually be covered with a mass of thread.
Fine darning, sometimes known as Belgian darning, attempts to make the repair as invisible and neat as possible. Often the hole is cut into a square or darn blends into the fabric.
There are many varieties of fine darning. Simple over-and-under weaving of threads can be replaced by various fancy weaves, such as twills, chevrons, etc., achieved by skipping threads in regular patterns.
Invisible darning is the epitome of this attempt at restoring the fabric to its original integrity. Threads from the original weaving are unravelled from a hem or seam and used to effect the repair. Invisible darning is appropriate for extremely expensive fabrics and items of apparel.
In machine darning, lines of machine running stitch are run back and forth across the hole, then the fabric is rotated and more lines run at right angles. This is a fast way to darn, but it cannot match the effects of fine darning.
There are special tools for darning socks or stockings:
A darning egg is an egg-shaped ovoid of stone, porcelain, wood, or similar hard material, which is inserted into the toe or heel of the sock to hold it in the proper shape and provide a firm foundation for repairs. When the repairs are finished, the darning egg is removed. A shell of the tiger cowry Cypraea tigris, a popular ornament in Europe and elsewhere, was also sometimes used as a ready-made darning egg.
A darning mushroom is a mushroom-shaped tool usually made of wood. The sock is stretched over the curved top of the mushroom, and gathered tightly around the stalk to hold it in place for darning.
A darning gourd is a hollow dried gourd with a pronounced neck. The sock can be stretched over the full end of the gourd and held in place around the neck for darning.
A used light bulb can be used to hold a sock in place for darning.
[edit]Pattern darning
Pattern darning is a simple and ancient embroidery technique in which contrasting thread is woven in-and-out of the ground fabric using rows of running stitches which reverse direction at the end of each row. The length of the stitches may be varied to produce geometric designs. Traditional embroidery using pattern darning is found in Africa, Japan, Northern and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Mexico and Peru [1].
Pattern darning is also used as a filling stitch in blackwork embroidery.
I came to the MET Grounds at about 7.15 am and walked for about 1.5 km , when Coach Surendra asked me to come and play and his boys than told me it was his birthday ,,I played strenuous tennis first with Coach Surendra Pawar than his boys Mangesh and Darshan ..later on Praful Tamble I was really tired and I have a problem on my feet .. a suspected corn I have put a corn cap but it is not much help..we celebrated Coach Pawars birthday ,,had I known earlier I would have bought him a gift..Mr Pawar has changed my life turned it upside down and I am only playing tennis to bring my blood sugar under control so far having just played for a month my blood sugar from 350 has come down to 137 fasting and 147 PP.
My diet is under strict control but I had prawn pulao .. but mostly it is two chappatis and dal or vegetable ,, I dont drink I dont smoke I dont eat junk food but in the mornings a few pieces of palak bhajiya that I bring home ,,,
And this was in the morning ,, at about 6 pm , I wore my breeches my keds and thought of completing my walk.. I walk average 5 km.. and again after 1.50 km Mr Pawar asked me to come in and this was a very heady session , with Mr Pawar and than Vish Sawant who made me run around the court non stop for 35 minutes and I thanked them both and walked out of the court to complete my walk...so this is a day in the life of a photo blogger ,, if I have work I avoid the evening walk.. wife walks after 8 after I come home,,
My son Asif Shakir who was a total couch potato has joined a gym and after namaz at the Bazar Shia mosque , he goes for his work out and walks too..
And before I forget a Muslim woman caught up with me on my walk in the evening , she is a mother of two kids and said seeing me playing she has enrolled both her school going kids from next month and might play tennis herself...,in the hijab,I simply told her Health is Wealth our health is our childrens Wealth..they need us and we have to be there for them..and I am happy that there are mothers grandparents playing tennis with their wards .
I am lucky I got this chance and realization very very late in life ,, my grandkids just love tennis ,,

zinda rehega paighame hussain bine ali
islam sada zinda painda rahega
paighame hussain ibne ali
mit jayega har naksh har ek sheh ko fana hai
lekin shahe mardan ki qasam haq ko baqa hai
shabbir ne khanjar ke talay waada liya hai
islam sada zinda painda rahega
paighame hussain....
ahmed ke nawase ka haqeeqat may karam hai
islam salamat hai hifazat may haram hai
shabbir to insan ki azmat ka bharam hai
hai azmat ka ye taara yuhin raqshinda rahega
paighame hussain....
ye soch le hai waqt abhi khoob samajh le
shabbir ko azmat ki kasauti pe parakh le
ye baat haqeeqat hai isay zehn may rakhle
haq ubhrega baatil sada sharminda rahega
paighame hussain....
har saal muharram may manate hai yehi gham
karte hai yuhin sayyede abrar ka matam
hum ahle aza taur badalte nahi har dam
jo kal tha wohi aaj hai aainda rahega
paighame hussain....
shabbir ka matam na rukega na ruka hai
wallaha ye masooma e aalam ki dua hai
is gham ke mukaabil may jo gham laaya gaya hai
baatil hai wo mit jayega haq zinda rahega
paighame hussain....
phir khel rahe hai wo wohi khel purana
iblaagh ki quwwat se haqeeqat ka dabana
ye sach hai ke jhooton ka jahannum hai thikana
sharminda sada zulm ka karinda rahega
paighame hussain....
sach sach hai zamane may fasana hai fasana
aasan nahi haq ki ye awaaz dabana
aalam mai hai mumtaz muhammad ka gharana
ye kaaba abad haq ka numaainda rahega
paighame hussain....
aaeene ke surat se har ek chehra ayan hai
zar kiska hai saudagar emaan kahan hai
kuch dushman ye aal ki had ahle jahan hai
kab tak ye dilon may tay sare hinda rahega
paighame hussain....
shabbir ne wallah bada kaam kiya hai
islam pe jo teer chala dil pe liya hai
khoone ragay gardan se isay ghusl diya hai
islam ka chehra yuhin tabinda rahega
paighame hussain....
