Playful/flirty Hindi Holi poem about a girl drenched in pink, and a pink handkerchief from last year still keeping her memory alive.

Rango mein ghuli ladki kya laal gulabi hai
Jo dekhta hai kehta hai kya maal gulabi hai

Pichle baras tune jo bhigoya tha holi mein
Ab tak nishani ka woh rumaal gulabi hai.

2 sardaron ko 2 bomb miley

Two Sardars find two bombs and debate safe delivery to the police — their solution is technically honest, just not in the conventional sense.

2 sardar:agar koi bomb raste me phat gia to?
1st sardar:jhoot bol dain gay k 1 hi mila tha :p

1 machar ko marne se

An SMS guilt-trip comparing stingy messaging to mosquito hunting: killing one bug does not make you a hunter, and two texts won't break the bank.

Jis tarah 1 machar ko marne se
tum shikari nahin ban jao gey
.

Theek usi tarah 2 - 3 SMS karney se
tum bhikari nahin ban jao gey

Dil mein aansuyo ke mele hain

Roman Urdu SMS about loneliness and longing, with a Punjabi aside explaining that 'vele' means lazy — the sender's self-described state waiting for the beloved.

Tum bin hum bohat akele hain
Sab kuch chod kar tumeh MMS karte hain
Dekho hum kitne vele hain
*vele = lazy (vele is a Punjabi word)

Wo kia cheez hay

A riddle about the one thing a wife never gives her husband no matter how many times he asks — the answer is sukoon, peace.

" Wanted For RAPE & MURDER .."

Beautiful name

Roman Urdu note on saying the name 'Muhammad' aloud — the lips naturally meet twice in the process. Warm and observational.

"Muhammad"

Kitna piyaara naam hai moo
Se pura nikalta nahi
Aur
Hont ek dosre ko 2 dafa
Chum laite hain.

(try it)!

Par madari rouz na laye to kya karun.

A romantic-sounding yearning SMS that ends by comparing the sender's longing to a snake charmer waiting for his monkey to perform.

Dil se tera khayal na jaye to kya karun,
Tu hi bata tu yaad aaye to kya karun,

Hasrat yehi hai k ek nazar dekh lun tujhe,
Par madari rouz na laye to kya karun.

Sochia c mehfal sadi a

Punjabi verse about betrayal by those believed to be one's own: the speaker assumed the whole gathering was family, until it hurt.

Sochia c mehfal sadi a,
sab mehfal wale sade ne.
asi jaat paat ton ki laina,
sab gore kale sade ne.
Par ki dassiye asi sajjna de
viswash banaye haar gye.
Asi apne jina nu kehnde c
sanu ohi ik din maar gye.

Agar rizq...

Short Roman Urdu quote from Hazrat Ali (R.A): if sustenance came from intelligence, the foolish and animals would not survive — rizq comes from Allah.

Agar rizq
aqal-o-danish se milta
tou jaanwar aur
bewaqoof zinda hii na
rehte ...

(Hazrat Ali r.a.)
