ME IN AMERICA : WRITTEN BY MRS RESHMA GHOURI



Me in Amrica – By Reshma Ghouri

Na Idhar ke Rahe …
Na Udhar ke Rahe...
Beech adhar atke rahe…

Na Hyderabad ku bhula sake
Na Amrica ku apna sake
Hyderabadi-Amrican ban’ke kaam chalate rahe

Na Urdu ku chod sake
Na Angrezi ku pakad sake
Desi accent mein goron ku confuse karte chale

Na Turkey ku paka sake
Na gravy bana sake
Murgi ku dam de ke thanksgiving manate chale

Na Christmas tree laga sake
Na bacchon ku samjha sake
Eid par Santa banke tohfe bat-te chale

Na shorts pahen sake
Na shalwar chod sake
Jeans pe kurta aur sneakers chadake itraate chale

Na, Nashte mein donut kha sake
Na khichdi khatta  bhula sake
Pizza par mirchi chidakkar maza lete rahe

Na garmiyon ku bhula sake
Na baraf ku apna sake
Khidke se suraj ku dekhke ‘beautiful day’ kahte rahe

Ab ayi baari Hyderabad ku jane ki……toh..
Haath mein paani ka sheesha lekar chale

Lekin wahan par...

Na gupchup kha sake
Na lassi pee sake
Peth ke darad se tadapte mare…
Gullathi kha ke kaam chalate rahe..

Na macchar se bhaag sake
Na khujli ku rok sake
Cream se dadodon ku chupate chale
 
Na fakiron se bach sake
Na dollar ku chupa sake
Naukaron se bi peecha chuda kar bhaagte rahe…

Na khuddi par baith sake
Na Kamot ku bhool sake
Bas beech adhar jhukke kaam chalate rahe….
 
Na idhar ke rahe…
Na udhar ke rahe…
Kambaqt, kahin ke Na rahe

Bas ‘ABCD’ aulaad ko aur confuse banate chale…

  2. Auto ka sher:
    Jab chalti hai auto
    tho udthi hai dhool
    Hasina ke baalon mein
    gulab ka phool

  4. Nothing Funny & Nothing Creative here... those
    who find it funny are sick!
    This is a BUcKWAS written by those...
    Who either are stuck where they are and could not
    come to America or Fully Westernized by western
    culture living where they are in their own branded
    culture and hating NRIs Who fell short of adjusting
    well due to attachment to the culture they left behind
    to follow their dreams.
    Did she write this poem hanging in the middle or well
    grounded in India or well grounded in America?
    You don't have to respond...
    Just Curious so asked.

    It is just an opinion... could not resist but respond...
    written sitting on કોમોડ (COMMODE) in USA.
    To Mrs. Ghouri - please either write this in English
    or in Hindi - do not torture people... with your HINglish!
    It looks like you could do neither!
    Please forgive me if I offended anyone. Nothing personal.
    Get well soon so you can write better!
    Pass the response to the great Heydrabadi
    Mrs. Reshma Ghouri whoever can!

      Bhai 'Literature Lover'
      Mohtarma Ghouri ki baat par aap ghaur farmaaein. Jo kuch unhoN ne tahreer kiya hai ye unke ehsaasaat haiN. Aapse kisne kaha ke aap isko Ghazal ya Nazm samajh kar paDheiN. Aap isko azad Nazm ya Nasr samajh kar paDhiye, zaroor lutf aaeiga.
      Yeh kaun kahta hai ke 'Hinglish' meiN sheir nahiN kahe jaate. Hinglish meiN bhi ashaar kahe jaate haiN, Dilawar Figar Sahab aur chand deegar Shoara ne bhi ismeiN taba aazmaai ki hai. Eik Shayer ka kalaam namoone ke taur par haazir hai:
      Mere dil meiN hai darling badi acoommodation
      Tum rah sakte ho yahaN without hesitation
      Na deina rent ki pyaare single paai
      NahiN mileiga cheaper, kar lo iss se try

      Mere armanoN ki seij pa cHadh ke sona
      Subho uthkar Palmolive se mukhda dhona
      KarooNga water nainoN se supply
      NahiN mileiga cheaper, kar lo iss se try.
      Bhai, kisi ki dil shikni achchi baat nahiN,
      wo bhi sinf e nazuk ki.

    karz itna waha(hyderabad) ka na ghar jaasake.
    Kaun yaha dekhta bolke na kapde sila sake.

    Ghante pe kaam karke baheno ki shaadi ki,
    Phir aur qarze badgaye, shaadi main nahi ja sake.

    ab jaana socha tou bawa ka heart attack aur amma ka dilasous
    yeh sab kharche uttha te uttha te nahi jaa sake.
