Mir Baber Ali Anees (Urdu:میر ببر علی انیس) was an Urdu poet, born in 1803 in Faizabad, Oudh now in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh who died in 1874 in Lucknow, North-Western Provinces. Anis used Persian, Hindi, Arabic, and Sanskrit words in his poetry. Anis wrote prolonged Marsias, which was a custom of his times, but nowadays only selected sections are narrated even in religious ceremonies. He died in 1291 Hijra, corresponding with 1874 A.D.
Mir Babar Ali Anis was born in 1803 CE at Faizabad. A Musavi sayyed, descended from the 7th Imam, Musa al-Kadhim, he belonged to a family of poets. In his book Khandaan- e-Mir Anees ke Naamwar Sho’ara (Famous Poets from the family of Mir Anis), Zameer Naqvi (Dr. Syed Zameer Akhter Naqvi) listed 22 poets from Mir Anis’ family and their poetry. Mir Anis was a fifth-generation poet, a fact he mentioned in the first stanza of his famous Marsiya "Namak-e-Khwaan-e-Takallum hai Fasaahat meri." He says:
Anees (1997–2003) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse. In 1990 he was voted American Champion Two-Year-Old Colt after winning the Breeders' Cup Juvenile.
Bred by Kip and Suzanne Knelman's Farfellow Farms near Paris, Kentucky, he was out of the unraced mare Ivory Idol, a daughter of U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee, Alydar. He was sired by Unbridled, the 1990 American Champion Three-Year-Old Male Horse who won the Kentucky Derby and the Breeders' Cup Classic. He was acquired by The Thoroughbred Corp., the racing stable owned by Prince Ahmed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia and named for the 19th century Indian poet Mir Babar Ali Anis. Anees was trained by Alex Hassinger, Jr.
Anees and sent to the track in 1999 at age two. Of his four starts he notably won a maiden race and finished third behind winner Dixie Union and runner-up Forest Camp in the Norfolk Stakes at Santa Anita Park. A late developer, the colt had matured considerably by the time he was entered in November's Breeders' Cup Juvenile. Up against thirteen colts that included the two who had beaten him in the Norfolk Stakes, Anees was sent off by pari-mutuel bettors at odds of 30:1. Under jockey Gary Stevens, Anees put on a powerful show of running, coming from last to first in winning the Juvenile by 2½ lengths. His performance was sufficient to earn him the 1999 Eclipse Award for American Champion Two-Year-Old Colt.
Llorarás, llorarás cuando se valla el sol
Y yo con él, dejando tu vida sola
Te dirán, te dirán las flores del jardÃn
Cuánto te amé y cuánto soñé tu luz
Devuélveme ese corazón
Que tú no supiste valorar lo que te daba yo, de verdad
Devuélvelo, devuélvelo, no es tuyo, no
Ya se acabó el tiempo en que tú brillabas
Devuélveme ese corazón
Que tú no supiste valorar lo que en verdad te daba yo
Oh oh oh⦠oh ohâ¦
Hoy me voy, pero no
No se va la herida grande que me queda
Por amarte, por mi culpa
Por los besos que en el mar te di
Corazón me sobró y coraje me faltó para dejarte
Tengo miedo de no olvidarte
Y por eso de ti me despido
Hoy me voy, hoy me voyâ¦
Devuélveme ese corazón
Que tú no supiste valorar lo que en verdad te daba yo
Oh oh oh⦠oh ohâ¦
Hoy me voy, pero no
No se va la herida grande que me queda
Por amarte, por mi culpa
Por los besos que en el mar te di
Corazón me sobró y coraje me faltó para dejarte
Tengo miedo de no olvidarte
Y por eso de ti me despido
Hoy me voy, pero no
No se va la herida grande que me queda
Por amarte, por mi culpa
Por los besos que en el mar te di
Corazón me sobró y coraje me faltó para dejarte
Tengo miedo de no olvidarte
Y por eso de ti me despido
Hoy me voy, hoy me voyâ¦
Hoy me voy
De ti me despido
