Dil, Dick,Dosti
OrMakaan, Kapda, Roti?
As decades age,
Priorities change.
One seeks a Dil,
Other needs the Dick,
Another cherishes Dosti.
He who seeks a Dil,
Is a hopeless romantic.
He who needs a Dick,
Is an honest hedonist.
He who cherishes Dosti,
Is a friend indeed!
But when desires get assorted,
Results are convoluted.
The Dil seeker gets a Dick,
The Dick hunter gets a Dil,
Heart breaks follow
People turn shallow.
Dil – heart | Dosti – friendship | Makaan, Kapda, Roti – House, clothes and bread
My fellow Dosti cherisher
Plays the agony counsellor,
Helping heartbroken men
He too gets tired often.
And then he seeks a Dil
But nobody wants to fill,
The emptiness of his heart
That breaks part by part.
A land of heart broken men,
Ram, Rahim, Singh and Ben,
I have only one advice
Just be happy and wise.
Dil, Dick or Dosti
Gay,panthi or kothi
Love might be quite unfair,
But all we need is some care.
So let’s come together and share
Words of wisdom so rare!
panthi or kothi – Vernacular terms for top or bottom
