In the past, Marsiyas were written in handwritten notebooks ( bayaz ) passed down through families or distributed as printed booklets during Muharram. Today, the demand for digital PDFs has surged for several practical reasons:

Physical manuscripts of old Bohra Marsiyas (written by poets like Mulla Jiwa and Mulla Abdul Husain) are decaying. Scanning them into PDF format is an act of digital preservation.

The word Marsiya is derived from the Arabic word risha , meaning to mourn or lament. In the context of Shia and Dawoodi Bohra traditions, it specifically refers to the elegiac poetry written to honor the sacrifices made at Karbala in 61 AH.
