Marsiya

Marsiya (Persian: مرثیہ‎‎)

From Wikipedia:

It is an elegiac poem written to commemorate the martyrdom and valor of Hussain ibn Ali and his comrades of the Karbala. They are are essentially religious.^[1]

This word has been derived from the Arabic word marthiyya (root R-TH-Y), meaning a great tragedy or lamentation for a departed soul.^[2]

This form found a specially congenial soil in Lucknow, chiefly because it was one of the centres of Shia Muslim communities in South Asia, which regarded it an act of piety and religious duty to eulogies and bemoan the martyrs of the battle of Karbala. The form reached its peak in the writing of Mir Babar Ali Anis. Marsiya is a poem written to commemorate the martyrdom of Ahl al-Bayt, Imam Hussain and Battle of Karbala. It is usually a poem of mourning.^[3]
