Marziya Shakir

From the Doorstep of Princess Fatima
The Daughter of the Holy Prophet
A Blessing as a gift they received
They named her *Marziya Shakir
A drop of a tear of Karbala they retrieved
A living poem from their young love conceived
Asif and Arizah proud parents much relieved
They had Faith and in the fruition of Faith they believed
Dreams that in their togetherness they had weaved

*Marziya is one of the names of Lady Fatima Daughter of the Holy Prophet
Mother of Imam Hassan and Hussain.Wife of Hazrat Ali Ibn Talib.
She was born this morning 5am Nov 24 2007.
As she is barely 2.3 lbs she has been kept in the intensive ward for observation.
This is my eldest son Asif Shakir’s first child.
Asif is a Web Designer.

Today is also Guru Nanak’s birthday.
