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! :-)
Padha Likha Punjab Hai Yeh Yahan Qaf-Leauge ka Dera hai
Yahan police aur Qaf-Leauge nay har leader ko ghaira hai
Badi Badi Sarkain hain roshan aur Galiyon main andhera hai
Sab Kahtay Hain khushali kay jo bhi bala phera hai (sorry for mistakes)
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 (Order) yahan pay pyara aur kisi ka chalta hai
This was hilarious snippet of political and social satire! :-) Thanks for sharing.
I don’t find it hilarious, rather it is a sad reality of Pakistan. So many lives were lost for an ideal way of living, however as we see the reality is gruesome.
Hey I havent read all the discussion above among Arjun and others, except for Arjun’s first comment, that pakistanis are oversensitive. Well I can see one reason for that. There is hardly anything over internet about pakistan, which is not very vigourosly spam attacked by some indians, who I think have perhaps taken it to be their duty to abuse Pakistan and Pakistani on every thing google throws out in a “pakistan” search. Well I am not a nationalistic person in the political sense, but seriously , some times it becomes realy annoying, most of the video on you tube with a pakistan tag on it has this problem.
Now this may also be the case with the other side, i.e., pakistanis attacking indians, but since I dont dig information about india a lot, I havent come across it. ( Being away from my country , I am mostly looking for information about Lahore, and punjabi videos ect.)
Aqil, you’re too kind. But I prefer to observe the discussions here without influencing them; this was a one-time slip.
I do understand where the sensitivity stems from. Wish you the best.
