Allah Be Praised!
Through his bounty
His Omnipresence
His Omniscience
my world is graced
Hussainiyat
my little heart
and soul embraced
Allah be Praised
through the doors
of Hussainiyat
a new dawn surfaced
Truth
Hussain is Humanity
between Ashura and Karbala
our ancestry traced
tears sorrow our blood
equally spaced
1400 years journey
Hussainiyat
we chased
bought through our mothers womb
a pact a pledge delicately placed
shah ast hussain
badshah ast hussain
cut copy and paste
once and for all
on the soul of humanity
evil replaced

Faith As Sharp As A Razors Edge
between
the head and the bleeding blade
a widening wedge holding
wisdom and knowledge
salutations to the martyrs of karbala
faith as sharp as a razors edge
ya hussain a solemn pledge

from the branches
of my family tree
a fruit
marziya shakir
her camera
in cahoots
eyes closed
through
the whispering
silence
of her soul
she shoots
a bare feet blogger
an old man
her off shoot
she is street smart
intelligent
pretty and cute
the world
around me
she loots
she computes
her grand pa
as a model
one of his kind
she recruits
barefeet
no shoes or boots
marziya shakir
2 year old
pictorial
but poetic
pursuit
you must be born
with music
before
you hold

Mother Shot By Marziya Shakir 3 Year Old
outside a shia mosque she sits
publicly showcasing her pain
appealing to a mother whose
son was named hussain
mother the source of
maternal rain as it falls
as tears soaking the heart
of a parched painful domain
ashura karbala two
pillars that steadfastly
remain sham sham sham
he cries out through
the bondage of yazidi chains
1400 years he is still alive
truth justice equality humanity
can never be slain
Marziya Shakir 3 Year Old
a story of love
in her palm
she holds
with every image
a new path unfolds
marziya shakir
3 year old
brave and bold
good as gold
on the threshold
of our household
unlearnt photography '
with a blindfold
shooting the darkness
panting with light
a mind pin holed
a vision holistically
healing karmically
controlled
One Year Old
what lies beyond
she knows
as she
beautifully grows
a street photographer
walking the walk
like firoze
with a nikon
D 80 camera
images flow
now three
although
marziya shakir
a tear drop
of hope
that on the cosmic
consciousness
of this street poet
froze poetry
within the silhouette
of prose a wounded
world enumerated woes
where man with another
man comes to blows
those who talk of love
with hate emotions show
running faster than time
yet too slow on a
tight rope to and fro
The Birthday Girl Turns 3 - Marziya Shakir
among her
best friends
her best friend
barbie
hope happiness joy
on both their faces
you can see
marziya shakir
soul of poetry
street photographer
capturing the soul
of humanity
unlearning
photography
the world in
her open palm
glistening
like a dew drop
of hope harmony
the birthday girl
turns three

Eyes Open Faith
within her eyes lies hope
breaking the wild frontiers
of her astral horoscope
what she wants
is within her scope
Marziya A Smile Says it All
the umbilical cord
choking her neck
like a serpent
of this living doll
she broke
through
the windscreen
of a gloom and pall
today she is walking tall
as she wobbles as she falls
over the bed she loves to crawl
boat rides at the gateway
the sea gulls call
her friends
the fluttering pigeons
of hotel taj mahal
