This is absolutely hilarious; and in a thoughtful and thought-provoking way.
Even if you are one of those people who never click on these YouTube clips, make this one an exception. It is really worth a listen. Take my word for it.
Aao bacho sair karaiN tum ko Pakistan ki
Jiss ki khatir hum nay dee qurbani laakhouN jaan ki
I was immediately taken by both the visuals and the words. Using young school kids to convey the satirical message is powerful, and the words cut deep and hit hard. Here are some examples:
On Punjab:
Yahan police aur Qaf-Leauge nay har leader ko ghaira hai
Dour dour tak thakh baithi hai siyasi bradraan ki
Jiss ki khatir hum nay dee qurbani lakhouN jaan ki
On Sindh:
Daikho yeh hai Sindh, yahaN Arbab kay danka bajta hai
Laikin yahaN pay Adar (Order) aur kisi ka chalta hai…
Yahan pay taqat daikhi hum nay dahi say zada paan ki
Jiss ki khatir hum nay dee qurbani lakhouN jaan kiOn Balochistan:
Paani hai na biji hai na hai hifazat jaan ki
Jiss ki khatir hum nay dee qurbani lakhouN jaan kiOn NWFP:
Yeh Sarhad hai iss may MMA ka kaafi zor hai
Mousiqi pay pabandi hai, bass Hasba Bill ka shor hai…
Yahan pay klashinkov bhi milti hai qeemat meiN naan ki
Jiss ki khatir hum nay dee qurbani lakhouN jaan ki
As the kids say at the end, Pakistani Zindabad! :-)
to bhupinder singh:
The original song was first made in pakistan in early 50’s and only later copied in indian movie.
Not that it proves that pakis kick ass, just wanted to straighten the records.
Disciple…whats the Indian copy of Dil Dil Pakistan? I’m a big fan of that song, and would love nothing more than an Indian version :)
Here is another example of the activism of ordinary Pakistanis, yes you r right Adil , it is a democratic society trapped in an undemocratic state
HERE
It was the most hilarious act and apt depiction of the issues at hand.
For those of you who thought army should’ve been mentioned in the this parody, here is an addendum from me, mind you its totally impromptu
Yeh dekho Islamabad, yahaan Musharraf Hakim hai
Amreeka ko yeh aankhain dikhaa’ay, aisa kahaan mumkin hai
Is naiN to mitti meiN milaai izzat Pakistan ki
Jis ki khatir hum naiN di qurbani lakhoN jaan ki
Pakistan Zindabad
Pakistan Zindabad
very funny.
guys, take it easy.. its comedy, yes it does not cover everything, but this is not reporting, its satire only!
In response to disciple comments,I don’t agree the Pakistnis don’t do anything about it, i think they do and it is the people that have kept this house alive and going, although the leaders come and claim, they are the obstacle, I think the environment is changing and soon the grass roots will assume true empowerment and all this is going to become a part of history.
For empowerment in action watch this clip, we are also attempting to bring togehter theexpats in chicago may 25 -28 , come and be a part of it.
Watch here
hahah…..are you guys actually knocking on a comedy routine for not being fair? That’s almost as absurd as people knocking Jon Stewart for not being entirely accurate….if only we held REAL journalists to the same standards we expect from our cricketers, and now, comedians.
