Sharma jee Sharam Karo!

Duniya ne hahakaar machaai
Auraton ki kari badhaai
Chid rahi ik nayee ladayee
Par....
Sharma jee ko sharam na aaii

Draupadi shastra utha kar aaii
Sita ne bhi kamar kasaai
Gandhaari ki bhi aankh khul aaii
Par....
Sharma jee ko sharam na aaii

Bhayaanak maut naachti aaii
Kaanp rahe sab, raam duhaii
Duniya ne hahakaar machaai
Par....
Sharma jee ko sharam na aaii

An Affair to Remeber


Let's have a quiet affair they said
Some prayers, a candle, a march and a vigil
Come, have a quiet affair they said
An evening of mourning, a night of remembrance
A quiet, quiet affair they said....

 WELL! Yes!
I'm up for an affair!
A raucous, romping affair instead
An affair with freedom, a reckless affair for my rights
A blistering affair with a smoldering revolution

 And oh!
I have some affairs
 Some affairs I must settle with people
Small, secret people with small, secret thoughts
I have some affairs to settle with mothers
Who chain me at home and stifle my sigh
I have some affairs to settle with fathers
Who touch me at night and stifle my cry
I have some affairs to settle with brothers
Who hack off my head with a righteous knife
I have some affairs to settle with sisters
 Who pluck off my wings before I take flight
I have some affairs to settle with husbands
Who draw me a line and tell me stay safe inside
I have some affairs to settle with wives
Who tell me I'm no more than the children I bear
And yet some affairs to settle with the passer bys
Who bless my destruction and applaud my submission
A few to settle with the leaders of the land
With blinders on of archaic tradition

 Oh yes! I say!
 Let's have an affair!
A roaring, romping, raucous affair
 I quite like having 'em affairs you see
'Cause they just won't get started but for ME.
