This is the third time a rendition of this (written or spoken) has been posted here. Initially it was just [two lines]. Mystic commented saying “puri ghazal karo”, and added lines of his own. Then at some point I added [more lines]. And now it continues to morph, yet the words the same.

And now the next one, I post hesitantly and with slight caution, because this is not something I do. All I will say is, yes I know it’s scary, but please be kind.

Though, I would like to hear it from someone who can do it better.

oooh! these were so good =) SO GOOD! and an extra 100 points for bravery!! =) =)

thanks guys! =)

bravery anjum? compared to some of the other things i’ve done, this is nothing. like that time i battled a wild raging bear with nothing but my bare hands, a pointed branch, a ball point pen or two, and a swiss army knife opened to the cork screw. that was brave.

zb madam, what is the ‘atif aslam’ style?

as in, rockstar style. rabba sacheya style. is what.

also: ‘zb’ is gender-neutral.

that was indeed very brave of you, adnan.

i disagree with gender-neutral zb on the atif aslam style. i think you’ve got your own style that doesn’t need to emulate /that/ version of rockstarishness.

thanks iffat… =)

zb sir, i don’t think i could bring the guitar out for these words. something just wouldn’t match.

we’ll have to find/write other words/lines for the guitar.

learn from iffat re. gender-neutrality, adnanali.

but also, iffat is biased against aa’s (that) style, because of past grievances with rabba sacheya.

adnanali (aa!), give it a shot. write another something to go with guitar. you have all weekend (:

zb, i was only balancing out the gender thing. now zb is neutral.

i need to up my time with the guitar. but in the meanwhile, what do i adnanify next?

that nissim ezekiel poem aamir suggested. or the one you liked by yeats. yet another by faiz? or one from anand? or something by iqbal? there’s a world to adnanify (:
