It seems that kulfi carts are becoming the new Rickshaws. The subject of kitsch art and kitsch poetry. As a fan of both, I love these qulfi carts as much as I do rickshaws.
In this picture, the first misra may well relate to this very kulfi cart, viz a viz some of the more decorated ones we have seen before:
Teri saadgi mein itna husn hai, teray singhar mein kiya ho ga
Teray ghusay mein itna piyar hai, teray piyar mein kiya ho ga
Rickshaws on ATP: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.
Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors
Unfortunately, the qulfi walla is now a dying breed. The fancy ice cream companies have now all started qulfi lines of their own and these ‘desi’ qulfi’s are dying our.
I also see some commons words like below on the public convince:
1. Dekh Magar Pyar Se.
2. Pappu Yaar Tang Na Kar
3. Phir Milen Ge
4. Maan Ki Dua – Jannat Ki Hawa
And Qulfi Selling Lahori Style :-)

Qulfi selling Liyari style:
I cant really understand each and every word but clearly he is very enthusiastically describing the characteristics of his product. Anyways enjoy :-)

I guess that at heart every Pakistani is a poet. And anything with wheels is a good place to put your poetry on!
