Interesting Information on marsiya

At one time the following saying was very popular in Lucknow, ‘Bigda gawayya Qawwal Aur Bigda Shair Marsiya-Go’. But Mir Anis (1803-1874), and other elegy reciters (Marsiya-Go) of that time entirely wiped it out. Marsiya, originally an Arabic word means mourning over the dead. Marsiyas have been composed in Persian as well, but in Urdu long Marsiyas written in hexameters with reference to the event of Karbala and the martyrdom of Imam Hussain have a unique status. It's not just tantamount to religious poetry, but an epic of the highest form of literature. These poems involve several aspects like imagery, historical events, characterization, emotionality, courage-display, and dramatics. Adorned with a combination of local customs, culture, and creative language, it is a genre that is a matter of pride for Urdu poetry and an exquisite treasure of words and their usage. The enchanting manner in which Mir Babbar Ali Anis used to sit on the pulpit in the Imam Bara of Lucknow and perform prosodic recitals of his Marsiya is also an important part of our history. Even today, in gatherings, or in electronic media, the elegy reciters imitate the same style. In some gatherings, three to four reciters come together to sing elegies in different Raags which is known as Soz-Khwaani.
