Kisi ki dua hee lagi hogi jo tum mil gaye
Warna hum to badnaseebiyan liye chale ja rahe the

If you weren't besides me where would I be ?

Up the blue sky or down the deep sea.

Thodi hamdardi hee to thee, rone ko ek kaandha hee to tha
Wo naadaan hee to hai, jo isko kuchh aur samajh baithe.

Itni himmat nahi thee ki aag pe chal jaate
shayad chale hee jaana tha, tumhare layak to ban paate

@ nutmeg.

Chahne - ones who like me
Chunu - Chun, choose

You are counting the ones who love me,
Sigh, you did not count yourself, now who do I choose?

I am tempted to compose my own do panktiyan -- in angrezi though.

Ha ha ha. Indeed, some are good. I clicked on this thread accidentally today when I saw nutmeg's name. Will follow faithfully now.

Maar hee dega ye andaz tumhara
paas na aana kah kar rooth jaana

arz hai...

how hee began to play

hee wanted to live
he went to god's own country
they kicked him in the teeth
he came weeping back
hee wanted to live
he went to the church
the church kicked him in the teeth
he turned agnostic
he turned atheist
he came weeping back
hee wanted to live
he went to the church for an arranged marriage
she kicked him in the teeth
he met rejection and desertion
he came weeping back
hee wanted to live
he went to the valiant tamizhhars
they kicked him in the teeth
he came weeping back

till he had no teeth left
he lay at the bottom of all things
utterly worn out utterly clear

I'm here, you're there
Life's really unfair
Oceans separate you and me
Hence the kolaveri, di.

by Guest Tue Dec 06, 2011 8:50 am

you're there, i'm here
jim and i are sharing a beer
hope we can still be friends, da
nurse no kolaveri, da

Jim is so lithe
So slim and blithe
You sit on verandah, munch on bonda
And why this kolaveri, da?

by Guest Mon Dec 19, 2011 8:15 pm

Chahat mein hardum, kitne paas ho tum mere.
Naseeb bhale phir tumhe paas laaye ya na laaye.

by Guest Wed Jan 11, 2012 3:11 pm

Jaane kaha le jayegi ye ulfat tumhari
jaane kaha rukayegi ye bekadri tumhari

ye pal hai, jo har pal rehta hai
jo jodta bhi nahi, todta bhi nahi
badta bhi nahi, thaharta bhi nahi

samundar hai na dariya, jheel hai na nadiya
hamesha bhigaye rakhta hai
ye pal kambakht, kabhi dubata bhi nahi

by chameli Wed Jan 11, 2012 9:15 pm

ab jo tracy ban gayee pooh

dilaadi hum sabko soo soo

Impy aapki sahayata se Smile

Chor ghar mein ghus gaya,
Snehlata ko chod ke chala gaya.
Patidev bole tumne use roka nahi?
Bahut kaha rukne ke liye, bola kal phir aaunga.

by chameli Mon Feb 06, 2012 9:31 pm

agle din patidev ne darwaza khola

chor sharmakey unse dheere bola

aao aaj dono khayenge baraf gola

tumhey nanga dekh ke mera man dola

there was a man from madras
whose balls were made of brass
in stormy weather they clanged together

if anybody wants to lose weight or train for full marathon, he should befriend an aspiring poet who, without any provocation, breaks into his impromptu, fresh-off-the-oven, latest creation two sentences into a conversation. crossing paths with subject every morning inspires the trainee to attain a top speed of x.yz kmph and it is captain's experience that this x.yz betters your previous best by a distance. if subject also harbors ambitions of a singing career, you can be a serious contender for the top medal.

disclaimer : captain has tried this training method with LIC agents and Amway types and have seen impressive results.

by Guest Thu Jun 20, 2013 6:04 am

Lol. Looks like you ran in the wrong direction this time to post this.

But ya, I know what you mean. My dad was like that. Could not understand simplest of shayaris. Always mocked people who did that. So imagine his plight when one of his samdhis turned out to be a poet who would break into shayaris at every topic, even serious ones like wedding preparations. Actually that uncle maintained a notebook full of those. Was most fun to see dad everytime uncle recited something. Full blank face. And at the end he would do a nod and a quiet Hmm. Sometimes, he dared ask for translations. No, this lack of open appreciation didn't stop uncle. It was all too funny.

by Captain Bhankas Thu Jun 20, 2013 6:54 am

haha; i am with your father on this one. i for life of my cannot understand the beauty in poetry. i think most people nod and say "waah waah kya baat hai" a split second after the poet finishes his recital just to pretend they understand poetry. category b) from that thread over the weekend.
