I posted this picture on Metroblog Islamabad earlier with the title “Can’t you see I’m Busy, Man!!!.” Wondering if ATP readers can suggest other (better) titles. Maybe a sheyr (verse) from Faiz, iqbal, Jalib… maybe even Ghalib?
ATP talks often about the state of the mobile industry in Pakistan. Well, this picture shows one face of what is happening with cell phones. As I wrote at Metroblog Islamabad:
Can you feel the marked difference??? A poor common pakistani, already a mobile user, collecting wood standing in front of parliament (highest office of the city on maybe the most expensive roads of the country) …!
WOW … amazing colors of Pakistan!!!
So, any suggestions?
Dono Jahan Teri Muhabbat Main Haar Kay
Wo Jaraha Hay Koi Shab-e-Gham Guzar Kay
Duniya Nay Teri Yaad Say Begana Kar Diya
Tujh Say Bhi Dilfaraib Hain Gham Rozgaar Kay
Faiz A Faiz.
bhai wo meray 50,000 rupay…
awaz nahain arahee..
A smart man. Had the good judgement to suspend his driving while talking on the mobile phone.
Bana kar faqeeron ka hum bheis Ghalib
Tamasha-e-alh-e karam dekhte hain
Junoon-e-adam-e-paki se anjum sehme jaate hien
Ke ye toota hua tara mah-e-kamil na ban jaey
To Parliament Operator: “Speaker sahib tashreef rakhtay hain?”
I think it is:
Rabba sachiya tuN te aakhia si
I might have mixed up the second line too. Actually, I am in Istanbul and I don’t have my Nuskhahaye Wafa with me.
Rabba sohniya tu te aakheya si
Ja o bandiya jug da shah hain tuN
Faiz (Pumnjabi)
