I normally cut my head a ritual known as Kamazani twice during Moharam , Ashura 10 Moharam and Chehlum 40 day of Moharam....
This year my kama matam during Chehlum has been vicious and deep , my wounds were not healing and even the slightest pressure made my wound bleed all over again..
I have cut my head on Athvi the last day of Moharam when the mourning of 2 month eight days comes to an end..at Lucknow at Kazmain , it was one day I have never forgotten I cut my head and scourged my back, my bleeding never stopped , I am a diabetic ,and I was bleeding the next day on Eid e Zehra too..
This year I was to shoot Athvi at Malad Malvani the only place in Mumbai that has hardcore zanjir matam and kamazani at the end of the juloos that starts from No 8 Malvani.
I left my mobile phone at home as it is gift and I do not want to lose it I have already lost a BlackBerry recently.. I came to Malvani by ricksha barefeet , and as I am now working for my new boss I dont have the earlier freedom that I once had I shut my shop for good..without remorse or regrets all part of my cosmic fate Karma and Dharma.
Two things triggered me to cut my head again on Athvi this year.. this morning my 3 month old grand daughter Zaira Saif Shakir tasted the sweet bitter strokes of a flagellating blades on her bare back.. my other grand daughter 6 month old Nerjis Asif Shakir had her back scourged on Ashura but with her clothes on and Marziya Shakir my street photographer 4 year old does kamazni too..
Zaira Saif Shakir did not cry but I did .. and the visuals remained in my restless soul..and than while shooting pictures I met a young boy today I had met him last year , he had cut his head with a kitchen knife paid Rs 50 to have it sharpened , this year he was there , and I wondered where was his kitchen knife as he did not have one on his person, he pulled out a penknife real sharp and before I could talk to him he began cutting his head viciously making me cry .
I broke down I requested a dagger from a boy and giving my camera to a friend Meezam I leapt into the air and began cutting my already wounded head doing Tandav - Durga like on the Soul of Shimr the killer of Hussain.. this is my Dance of Death..
Meezam took me for First Aid .. but the bleeding refused to stop, I shot the mourners but again I was dragged to the First Aid Camp of the JUST Volunteers , they used a compression , we Shias dont use ointment or injections nothing just rose water ..
I have just come home an hour back I took a ricksha and picked up Zaira Saif Shakir all dressed in red .. because tonight is the eve of the greatest Eid of the Shias Eid e Zehra ..and I am bleeding red..
The Shia mourning comes to an end and this is a sight to be seen in Lucknow tomorrow at Kazmain and Makbara where they will burn the effigy of a monster of Islam.. who caused the Ahle Bayt the greatest harm..
Yes Beshumar Lanat.. Saikdo Karodon Lant on the killers of Imam Hussain..
This is my new set at Flickr.com..my wife will clean my wound tomorrow ..

Aao ek kaam kare
(Ay mere desh-e ke logo meri awaaz suno. Meri awaaz-e me maktal ka ye aghaaz suno) x2 (Kya khabar tum na raho) x2 Kya khabar ham na rahe

(Ao ek kaam kare, karbala aam kare) x2
Jis tarha saniye zehra ne ise kaam kiya. Ik-e zanjir-e ki jankar ne wo kaam kiya. Jis tarha shohada ne safar-e sham kiya. Yani nezo se bulandor bhi islam kiya. Ham isi tarz-e kayadat ki ada aam kare. (Kya khabar tum na raho) x2 Kya khabar ham na rahe
(Ao ek kaam kare, karbala aam kare) x2
Ye jo majlis he madawa hay har ik-e gham ke liye. ek sawghat he ye didaye purnam ke liye. Soze dil chariya teziz-e muharram ke liye. Koyi tafreeq-e nahi haq ka ye matam ke liye. Rone walo ke liye farsh-e aza aam kare (Kya khabar tum na raho) x2 Kya khabar ham na rahe
(Ao ek kaam kare, karbala aam kare) x2
Ao dekho ke ye khayma ye alam kiska hai. Khoon se naam ye sehra pe rakam kiska hai. Ab bhi tarik se aghe ye kadam kiska hai. Sari duniya ko batadenge ye gham kiska hai. Sari duniya ke liye gham ki fiza aam kare (Kya khabar tum na raho) x2 Kya khabar ham na rahe
(Ao ek kaam kare, karbala aam kare) x2
Tum bhi sine me ye gham leke chalo ham bhi chale. Tum bhi inkar-e sitam leke chalo ham bhi chale. Tum bhi hak ka ye hasham leke chalo ham bhi chale. Tum bhi ghazi ka alam leke chalo ham bhi chale. Har zamane ke liye zikre wafaa aam kare. (Kya khabar tum na raho) x2 Kya khabar ham na rahe
(Ao ek kaam kare, karbala aam kare) x2
Aisa ay jaaz to tarik-e ne dekha na suna. Jo diya noor ke hato shabe ashur buja. Sab shahido ke dilo me wo diya jake jala. Aj bhi roshni deta hai wohi ek diya. Har andhere me wohi ek diya aam kare. (Kya khabar tum na raho) x2 Kya khabar ham na rahe
(Ao ek kaam kare, karbala aam kare) x2
Pas shabbir ke apne bhi he afghaar bhi hai. Khandan-e bani hashim bhi hai ansar bhi hai. Hur bhi hai john bhi hai akbare jarrar bhi hai. Jane dene ke liye subho se tayyar bhi hai. Aise maktal ki fizaa ko ba khuda aam kare. (Kya khabar tum na raho) x2 Kya khabar ham na rahe
(Ao ek kaam kare, karbala aam kare) x2
Kafela rehgaya ik dashte bala me pyasa. Jinki miras thi kausar unhe pani na mila. Ye sabile unhe pyaso se wafaa he ba khuda. Koi pyaasa na rahe thi sakina ki dua. Har zamin par ye sakina ki dua aam kare. (Kya khabar tum na raho) x2 Kya khabar ham na rahe
(Ao ek kaam kare, karbala aam kare) x2
Rehnumaa katle huwa katle kayadat na hui. Ik imam or bara khatm-e imamat na hui. Jisme rondhe gaye pamal shariat na hui. Chadare chin gayi batil ki hukumat na hui. Ye muhammad ke garano ki wafaa aam kare. (Kya khabar tum na raho) x2 Kya khabar ham na rahe
(Ao ek kaam kare, karbala aam kare) x2
Mere mawla mere aka ye tera gham na ruke. Kitne tufaan bhi hilalaaye magar ham na ruke. Ay azadar ye majlis ye muharram na ruke. Wakt-e kitna hi badal jaye ye matam na ruke. Ye shahido ka he matam ba khuda aam kare. (Kya khabar tum na raho) x2 Kya khabar ham na rahe
(Ao ek kaam kare, karbala aam kare) x2
