chupke chupke raat din aansu bahana yaad hai
ham ko ab tak ashiqui ka wo zamaana yaad hai

tujhse milte hi vo kuch bebaak ho jaana mera
aur tera daanton mein vo ungli dabaana yaad hai

kheench lena vo mera parde ka kona daffaatan
aur dupatte se tera vo munh chhupana yaad hai

dopahar ki dhoop mein mere bulaane ke liye
vo teraa kothe pe nange paaon aana yaad hai

Certain Prez of a certain country!!!

May 8, 2007 at 6:49 pm | In News and Views | Leave a Comment

Why does a certain President of a certain country commits bundles of blunders (which are extremely obnoxious and slanderous)? And why did people of that certain country choose that guy as their Prez (hmmm…making others wonder about their thinking capabilities and voting opportunities)?

His country is being visited by a monarch of another certain country. And even this visit is not devoid of his hillarious antics. He actually slipped up on the monarch’s age (one of the many he keeps slipping on). He was commenting on the monarch’s last visit to the country. “You helped us celebrate our bicentennial in 1796…Er, 1976″, slipped our Prez. This one was smiled away by the monarch. But even then Prez couldn’t stop slipping. He winked at the monarch in the presence of around 7,000 guests, and this time inviting the monarch’s “frosty glare”.

Well, this is nothing unusual for the Prez who loves adding words to the English taxonomy and inventing unusual paradoxes. He is also famous for his “out-of-the-world”, extremely “intelligent” comments. Just chanced upon a few.

1) “I would say the best moment of all was when I caught a 7.5 pound largemouth bass in my lake.” –on his best moment in office, interview with the German newspaper Bild am Sonntag, May 7, 2006.

2) “I think — tide turning — see, as I remember — I was raised in the desert, but tides kind of — it’s easy to see a tide turn — did I say those words?” –asked if the tide was turning in Iraq, Washington, D.C., June 14, 2006.

3)”Politics comes and goes, but your principles don’t. And everybody wants to be loved — not everybody…. You never heard anybody say,’I want to be despised, I’m running for office.” at Tipp City, Ohio, April 19, 2007.

4) “That’s why we are inconveniencing air traffickers, to make sure nobody is carrying weapons on airplanes.” at Washington D.C., April 3, 2007.

These are just few of them. But this man is “famous” for his “over-the-top” behaviour and absurd comments (and he’s completely oblivious of all his misadventures… hmmm…sigh!!!). Yet he is definitely entertaining and amusing. Three cheers for the Dubyaman!!!
 

Apne haathon ki lakeeron…

apne haathon ki lakeeron mein basaale mujhko
main hoon tera naseeb apna bana le mujhko

mujhse tu poochhane aaya hai vafa ke maani
ye teri sadaadili maar na daale mujhko

khud ko main baant na daaloon kahin daaman-daaman
kar diya tune agar mere havale mujhko

vaada phir vaada hai main zehar bhi pee jaoon “Qateel”
shart ye hai koi baahon mein sambhale mujhko

Qateel Shifai
