Friend described as every kind of pharmaceutical trouble — syrup, capsule, injection — but ultimately the oxygen of friendship.

Aafat ke syrup ho tum,
Museebat ke capsule ho tum,
Pareshani ke injection ho tum,
Kya kare tumhe jhelna parta hai aakhir,
Dosti ke oxygen ho tum.

Hadson ki waja say bachay

Wo larki kisi aur ne pata li!

Poetic buildup praising a girl's looks and charm lands on the gut-punch: someone else already got to her first.

lab pay atee ha dua ban kay tamana maire

An honest wish SMS: knowing it's impossible, the sender still dreams of one of three Bollywood stars ending up with him — it's just a prayer, don't judge.

lakin, lab pay aati ha dua ban kay tamana maire

Laikin bheja tu aisa bheja,

Mombatti bujh nahin jayegi

Power cut at night; husband asks wife to fan him. She refuses — if she fans him, the candle will go out.

1 night bijli chali gae...

O love love likhdi rahi

Punjabi SMS: she kept writing 'love' and he kept reading 'leave', she wrote 'kiss' and he read 'kash' — he was apparently taking a language course.

main leave leave parda reya,
o kiss kiss likhdi rahi,
main kash kash parda rea,
o via ker k chali gae,
main language course kearda rea!
