Karachi ki kachi pagli larki in translation

Posted: Oct 13, 2008 Mon 08:25 am     Views: 221    Interacts: 6


the naive stupid Karachi girl
raised by a stinking raw sewage river
has a black tongue afflicted
with yellow stools wherein
squirm here and there an inch
long white but black faced worms.

what did she eat when she was born?
a green parrot?
a black raven?

what did she drink when she was born?
water from the raw sewage river?

how gracious is her tongue!
someone's a bastard to her,
another one an intruder
who lets not her write her verse.
she orders: get the f--- out of here.

Allah, you grant wisdom to everyone.
when it was Karachi's stupid girl's turn,
what were you doing that instance?
were you dozing off?

"Ouch", Ravi. It 'looks' much better untranslated without the encumbrance of meaning. But thanks indeedy for your trouble.

You guys posted the most offensive comments and all sorts of personal attacks and accusations, and now you complain.

If someone has kept record, one can track all the unfair, bulleyish and harassing posts you have been posting, and then you complain.

I too am reporting to the Editors all the abuse you threw around and destroyed the whole atmosphere.

Ravi,

I have forwarded this offensive post (God knows this is the tip of the iceberg) to chowk editors.

Ravi, I think you're an impotent writer. This hurts you like a bitch.
