samunder main uter ta hon tu ankhee bheg jati hain
teri ankhee ko perta hon tu ankhee bheg jati hain
tumhara naam likhny ki ijazut chieen gai jub se
koi b lufz likhta hon tu ankhee bheg jati hain
teri yaadon ki khushbo khirkiuon main ruks kerti hy
teree ghum main sulagta hon tu ankhee bheg jati hain
najany ho gyua hon iskader husass main kub se
kisi se bat kerta hon tu ankhee bheeg jati hain

i think that all the other people who have eft a comment are being a bit too childish!!!!!
Its just a joke…..
I actually found it quite funny as if you have the maturity to look into the joke, its actually a celebration of the uniqueness of Indians.
I am an Indian and im proud of it to the core!!!!!
If this was a joke about the Malays or Westerners or Arabians or anyone else for that matter, im sure everyone would have had a great laugh…
Shame on you people….

Grow up KID , are you (the composer of the so called joke !) out of your DIAPERS yet? … Ask your MOM, before you write anything again … God bless you.
” Aata hi nahi hume toofan se mooh kar jana,
Ye kaam tumhara hai katra ke guzar jana;
Tum chhadhti javani ke aanjam ko kya jano,
Hum dekh ke baithe hai dariya ka utar jana.”

not funny, im from the uk and its cruel. if ur an indian and u say this funny, then ur a childish idiot and against ur culture. if indians made a joke thats similar to this one thats including a different country, then im sure people will take offence. so some of u people r 100% right and some are well damn stupid little idiots.
