Marziya Shakir Poetic Flight

not just a muslim or a shia girl child
she is the face of human birthright
to brighten our darkness
she came as hope
she came as light
peace harmony
poetic flight

Marziya and Her Dad

a love that is iron clad
marziya shakir and her dad
5 month old
her smile a launching pad
for two months
when she was in lucknow
a thought that hit us bad
now that she is back
aren't we happy and glad
a shakir household
a poetic lunatic asylum
as crazy as its mad

Marziya Shakir Her First Tryst With Faith and Bibi Sakina

Marziya Shakir and Taboot of Bibi Sakina

At our house during Moharam, my daughter has a Majlis of Bibi Sakina and at end of the Majlis her Anjuman girls carry the Taboot of Bibi Sakina around the house.
Now all our Shia neigbors borrow this Taboot and have this auspicious event at their homes too.This is the first sucj Majlis in Marziya Shakirs life, and she is getting used to the mourning period too, dressed in black.
Marziya goes to the various Majlis with her mother and her grandmother.

Bibi Sakina was the three old daughter of Imam Hussain who after her fathers death had to uffer lot of ignominy under Yazids Anti-Islamic regime.
She died prematurely at Damascus..also known as Sham.

Marziya and Ghame Hussain

This is Marziya Shakirs first brush with her heritage , Ghame Hussain, she is far too excited, and in the innocence of her happiness, she absorbs all this.
Being a photographers grand daughter, she is far too perceptive at just three months, , from the first day of Moharam, she has not missed a Majlis either.
She is there with her mother , and this is Shiasm , spontaneous spirituality of her faith in Ahle Bayt...that comes with the Shia territory of an unfenced soul.
Shia children have this unique quality, and Moharam is what refurbishes the material mind to the path of righteousness.
I can go on shooting Shia kids and my pictures more powerful than Mullahspeak.
Yes we indeed become better Shias just seeing our children evolve and carry the destiny of our heritage on their frail but strong shoulders,and every child learns the Kalma, and those magic words before he or she has learnt to talk..
Allah ek
Panjetan Panch
Imam Bara
Masoon Choudah
Khuda ke Noor se pada huen huen, ...and so on.
The memories of a childs first Moharam never fade, held on to her mothers waist clinging for dear life, while the Mother , bayas in hand recites the Matam..around her she sees with her little curious eyes the beating of the chest and the emanating sound of sorrow Ya Hussain Ya Hussain that soon becomes her silken thread connecting her with a greater metaphoric moment, a momentous memorable moment. Ghame Hussain in full autumnal bloom
This is Shiasm as I see it in Marziya Shakirs eyes I was unfortunately too drunk to have seen it in her father Asif Shakirs eyes or the rest of my children that followed.
So Marziya Shakir makes me relive the dead wood of a carcass of my Fatherhood, my neglect in the spiritual growth of my children single handedly bought up by their mother.
And Marziya makes me relive , all that I have written here...
