Statuatory Warning: Blogger in an extremely corny frame of mind

"If Ghalib were an advertising copywriter"

When we were in school, there were these sher's which used to start off on a serious note and end as an ad line, with just the lines rhyming. I know it is not as sublime as a haiku or a sonnet.............................. in fact it is not sublime at all. It is downright corny and meant to sound funny at 3 a.m. in the night mess when you are having maggi with your classmates and not studying for the next day's MANAC quiz.

Here are a few, some which have been handed down from generation to generation, and some which us enterprising shayars composed. Only those who watched Indian television can make sense out of these.

Maine tujhse pyar kiya tere baap ne mujhko peeta
Maine tujhse pyar kiya tere baap ne mujhko peeta
Tan ki shakti man ki shakti Bournvita

Tu mere kapdey seeta tu mera darzee
Tu mere kapdey seeta tu mera darzee
Boost is the secret of my energy

Tere ishq mein jaanam chadh gaya main sooli
Tere ishq mein jaanam chadh gaya main sooli
Ab samjhe ye tikiya maine kyun li?

Meri yaad mein aap itna na machaliye
Meri yaad mein aap itna na machaliye
Iodex maliye kaam pe chaliye

Main ek gareeb aashiq hoon jaanam, main koi nawab nahin
Main ek gareeb aashiq hoon jaanam, main koi nawab nahin
Palmolive da jawaab nahin


I think five is enough. You guys have it in you to come up with your own?
