After reading Ek Surati Ghazal on Nishit's blog, I was reminded of this one as they both fall under same category of funny Surati/Parsi poetry. So it was a Gujarati music program/musical evening years ago in Fremont, CA by Soli Kapadia and Nisha Upadhyay where I first heard this one. Solibhai adds jokes in between his songs and this came up when he was talking about funny songs/ghazals. I laughed for more than a week remembering the song and loved it so much that the lyrics just got stuck in my head. Not sure whether it was whole song or partial that he sang but it was funniest one I ever heard. It is a Surati/Parsi song in written in Gujarati.
And, my first try at writing a Gujarati blog post is successful!!
આઈ મને સુ કરેચ
પ્રેમમા પરવાનુ કીધુ તો ગબરી પર્યો
ને હવે નિકરવા મથેચ
આઈ મને સુ કરેચ
દાર-ભાત ભેગા થાય એમ પ્રેમ કરવો હતો
ને હવે ખિચરો કરેચ
આઈ મને સુ કરેચ
હિર-રાંજા રોમિયો-જુલિયેટ ની જેમ પ્રેમ કરવો હતો
ને હવે પાણિપત લરેચ
આઈ મને સુ કરેચ

hilarious indeed!! read the poem on nishit's post as well. i remember the first time i listened to that poem in a kavi sammelan on doordarshan... they call this style of writing as Hazal...Dr. Maniar at his best :)
Interesting bit of information. I didn't know that. Hasva kavi sammelan are so much fun. In fact, there's one going on right now here in the area as I type this comment but I couldn't go. Never heard of Dr. Maniar. Who is he?
Hilarious!!! As Bhavesh said, they call it Hazal.
