Adil Najam
Folks, I want to stay on the subject of our elected officials — out-of-control Ministers and misbehaving MNAs — for just a little longer. Rest assured, ATP will come to misguided military-men soon enough.
There is a particular variety of Pinglish that goes beyond simply juggling Urdu and English idom and grammer; it adds a third language to the mix, in particular Punjabi. One hears this varient a lot in parts of the United Kingdom, and this genre now has a poetic tradition all its own.
Comedic poet Khalid Masood Khan has made a name for himself by utilizing this version of Pinglish. I will not even try to translate, but here is an examplar that relates to who gets elected and who does not:
Luch lafang elect huwa hai annay-wa
Beeba phir reject huwa hai annay-wa
Sooe pay dhaga daalnay waali nokri pay
Anna aik select huwa hai annay-wa
For more on the meaning of Pinglish see ATP’s first blogpost on the subject.
haha ha ha ha , Khalid Masoud is great poet. Kindly let me know
Main kis tarah us ki shairi net pay par sakta hoon
Can’t say if its pinglish or just bad english but it sure is funny,

Same as we have Hinglish! Whats in a name, rose even if called by anty other name would small as sweet!
Khalid Masood Khan used to write his humorous articles in Daily Khabrain too. His poetry refreshes us with Pinglish and Gulabi Urdi (combination of urdu and other dialect). His accent of delivering his poetry is also very humorous. Enjoy the flavor of his poetry in his own voice :http://www.urdulife.com/mushaira/urdu/poet_index. cgi?ka_khalid_masood_khan
