		The North Indian marsiya writers used similar motifs and metaphors when the centre of Urdu literature moved to the North after the kingdoms of the Deccan were annexed by the Mughals.
		Among the modern marsiya writers who have appropriated the events surrounding Karbala as the underpinnings of their socio-religious reform ideology are Josh Malihabadi and Vahid Akhtar.
		The genre of Urdu marsiya is a fitting example of a spiritually-exalted literary enterprise imported into the subcontinent from the Arab and Persian world which evolved in conjunction with `Indian culture'.

		This particular Marsiya deals with the events, which took place on the tenth day of the month of Muharram.
		Anis sees no difficulty in describing the desert where Husain and his colleagues were suffering from the heat and the most appalling thirst, as a green and verdant garden planted with luxuriant trees where nightingales sing perched on the dew-filled roses.
		Similarly the language, allusions and figures of speech used in Marsiya are difficult and may even present challenge for many well read Urdu speakers who have not been brought up in the tradition.

	KARBALA AND NOHAY
		Although some Urdu marsiay and nohay deal with topics other than the seventh-century battle of Karbala, most of them have focused on the events that paved the path to this battle and the agonizing aftermath of this event.
		There were, however, severe restrictions imposed on such mourning ceremonies since the Ummayad rulers could not afford to foster empathy for the family of the Prophet.
		After the recitation of marsiay and nohay, the family of the Prophet was praised and the enemies of this family rebuked.

		He is foremost among marsiya writers who are engaged in trying to evolve a new way of marsiya writing, different from that of Anis and Dabir.

	Anis and the ‘marsiya’ -DAWN Magazine; March 16, 2003
		The inclusion of the complete English translation of this marsiya by David Matthews and the incomplete Arabic translation by Maulana Ali Naqi has added to the value of this volume.
		He has rightly remarked that in the Anisian marsiya, religious faith and poetry have intermingled in a way that it is well-nigh impossible to distinguish one from the other.
		In the Anisian marsiya, too, we see this kind of transformation which helps it to cross the threshold of the Imambargah and gains an appeal for all sensitive people no mater whether they share the religious beliefs of the poet or not.
