Lucknow: Ummat ney jisko khoon mein duboya-wahi Hussain/ Jo bad-e zabha dhoop mein soya- wahi Hussain… The marsiya was recited by Ahsan Saeed Abedi on the ninth day of Muharram at Imambara Nazim Saheb in Lucknow on Thursday. Later, thousands of Shia mourners joined the shab-e-ashur procession which originated from Imambara Nazim Saheb and passed through Tulsidas Marg before culminating at Dargah Hazrat Abbas in Saadatganj.
The procession is taken out on the eve of 10th Muharram when Imam Hussain was martyred in Karbala, Iraq. Barefoot and draped in black cloth, Shia mourners accompanied the procession which was taken out under heavy security cover. Several anjumans performed matam and also recited marsiyas. People turned out in large number to have a glimpse
of and seek blessings from alam.
Meanwhile, the district administration has made elaborate security arrangements for the ashra–the 10th day of Muharram. Necessary traffic diversions have been done while heavy police force has been deputed to maintain peace. For the first time, the organisers of
Shaam-e-ghariban in Ghuframaab Imambara will be telecasting the proceedings live on website http://www.al-ijtihaad.com/ on Friday. Night vision cameras have been installed to record the proceedings which will continue till late night on Friday. Maulana Kalbe Jawwad will
address the majlis in Sham-e-ghariba.
