Consider this: You are stuck in traffic jams that you cant seem to get out of? You are already running late, it is scorchingly hot---you have already begun using the choicest hindi abuses for everyone within sight, definitely including the horny middle-aged pervert ogling you; you have begun cursing life; blaming people; you are convinced that god is unkind; life is unfair...just then, there comes a glimmer of hope...everything is alright, life is fine...
Who or what is this godsend? It is an auto rickshaw or a truck that you have spotted with absolutely
out-of-this-world shayari! Sounds familiar? I bet you have experienced this if you are a Delhiite. I love the originality of our autowallahs and truck wallahs. The sheer nonchalance with which these people exhibit their HORRIBLE sense of humor always leaves me laughing out loud! I mean that! The cheesiness of the "poetry" is what ends up making it funny :P
Very recently, I spotted this hilarious sample of an auto wallah's creativity: a self composed couplet that seemed like a passionate declaration of love:
"बिन फेरे हम तेरे!" :)
Here are a couple of more examples of absolute genius that I have found over time.
1) मै चली तो तेरी क्यों जली!
2) Voh aaye hamaaree qabr peh, diyaa bujha kar chaley gaye, Baaqi jo teyl tha deevey mein, sar peh laga chaley gaye!
I would love it if you shared some of the ones that you have come across.

One Shayri i saw
" Na Bura Chahne Wale ka, Na Buri Nazar Wale ka muh hoga kala, Yaro bas wahi hoga jo chahega Uperwala"
:) hey himanshu...yeah i guess some truck/auto wallahs do a very good job of imparting moral science lessons on the go!
thanks for adding that couplet to the collection!
@ diwakar: haha...glad you enjoyed them. But, when u're in Delhi, life ceases to be boring! u'll find many such pieces without having to look for them!
I went through ur blog.its very interesting! :) will read more posts for sure!
Prachi well these moral science lessons are only to show others, these lessons are not followed by many drivers esp Truck Driver/Delhi Autowalas.
very very informative... you're quite the observant one
