Man accidentally grabs a live wire and nearly dies; a power cut saves him just in time and he shouts 'Geo Musharraf!'

1 admi ne ghalti se bijli ka tar cho lia,
wo marne hi wala tha k usi waqt light chali gaye
or wo marne se bach gia,
us ne khushi se jhoom ker kaha {GEO MUSHARAF}

Apna 1 friend udhaar to do..

Romantic request to share hearts and company — ends with: life is too quiet alone, could you spare one of your friends?

Mujhe apni mohabbat ka aitbar to do,
Main toot k chahoon tumhein yeh ikhtiar to do,

Guzarti hi nahin ab ye zindagi tanha,
Apna 1 friend udhaar to do..

1 pathan aero plane mein

Pathan grabs the pilot's headphones mid-flight — he paid for the ticket, so why should the pilot get the music to himself?

1 pathan aero plane me pilot
say headphone cheen leta hai.

Pilot says! yeh kia ker rahe ho?
Pathan says:
Ticket ka paisa hum bhare
aur gana tum akela suney:p

Pathan darwaza open ker k washroom jata

Pathan always leaves the washroom door open; explains he suspects someone is watching him through the gap at the bottom.

Aik pathan jub bhi wash room
jata to darwaza khol kar jata.

Kisi ne wajah pochi to us ne bataya
k usey shak hai k darwaze k neecay
wale soorah se use koi dekhta hai

Such yeh duniya badi zalim hai

Observes that the world is cruel and SMS is cheap — yet people still can't bring themselves to send one.

De kar haath dosti ka wapis lia nahi jata,
Is nazuk mohabbat ko zakham diya nahi jata,

Such yeh duniya badi zalim hai,
SMS itna sasta he phir bhi kia nahi jata

Subha se le kar sham tak

Morning to night, night to morning — every time of day, the same complaint: load shedding has been going on forever.

Subha se le kar sham tak,
Sham se le ker raat tak,
Raat se le kar subha tak,
Subha se phir shaam tak

ishq main barbadi na kerwa lena

Love advice: don't let romance ruin you — especially don't spend the vegetable money on mobile top-ups for someone.

ishq main barbadi na kerwa lena,
Apne ammi k arman khak mai na mila dena,

jo paise ghar se sabzi laane k liye milte hain,
unka easy load na karwa lena

KION K SAAS BHI KABHI BAHU THI

Husband and father-in-law each give up after hearing about the wife's affairs; the saas stays quiet because she's been through it herself.

BAHU K 1-2 affair sunne k baad sasur ne suicide karli
3-4 k baadpati ne suicide kar li,

magar SAAS chup rahi.

Why?

"KION K SAAS BHI KABHI BAHU THI".

HAPPY LOAD SHEDDING

A mock blessing wishing so much light in your life that WAPDA (Pakistan's power utility) comes begging you for electricity.

Her khushi, hansi mange ap se,
Her phool, khushbu mange aap se,

Itni roshni ho apki zindagi me k,
khud WAPDA connection mangay apse,

"HAPPY LOAD SHEDDING"

Khuda kare hum dono ki dosti itni gehri ho

Friendship poem offering eyes, tears, face, and smiles to a friend — slips in a wish that the friend's salary might come their way too.

Dil ap ka ho dharkane hamari hon,
Ankhen aap ki, aansu hamare hon,
Chehra aap ka, muskurahat hamari ho,
Khuda kare hum dono ki dosti itni gehri ho,
Nokri ap karo ro salary hamari ho.
