Bolly-Shayar Award

The Bolly-Shayar award is presented by the people of urdustan to the shayar of the worst lyrics of a movie made in Bollywood. This is a rolling award which means this award is for the present winner until we find another example of poetic lowlessness.
(in other words ghatiya shayari ka umda namoona)


 
for the year 2001 we present the Bolly Shaayar Award to, a veteran shaayar of Bollywood
Anand Bakshi
for the film 
Yadein

for the song

"naghme haiN shikve haiN qisse haiN baateN haiN
baateN bhool jaati haiN yaadeN yad aati haiN"

< according to the selection committee "even Chacha Ghalib could not have thought of these meaningless lines, agar yaadeN yaad nahi aayengi to kahaaN jaayengi?"> 


 We are ashamed to present the first Bolly-shayar Award to the best known one-man-shayari-factory of Bollywood, 

Sameer

He has a thousands of songs from hundreds of movies to his credit. It is really difficult to choose one song or even one movie. So this award is not for his life time contribution but rather to only one song of one movie. 
(which means he can win the same award for a different song ;-))
The movie is 

Chal Mere Bhai

and a part of the song (sorry we can't waste more web space and your time to post the full song, even the computer crashed trying to write the full song....)

mere baap ki beTi me ko bhai bolti
mere baap ki biwi me ko beTa bolti
meri maaN ka bhai me ko bhaanja bolta
meri bhai ki beTi me ko chacha bolti

upar waale too ne mujhko sab kuchh diya
ab de de husband kahne waali sundar biwi

this is with reference to your award to the best shair of 
bollywood mr. sameer for the film CHAL MERE BHAI.

But mr. "webustad" i'd like to draw your attention on our well 
known shairs like majrooh sultanpuri, hasrat jaipuri, sahir 
ludhiyanvi, 
javed akhtar, zameer kazmi, kaifa aazmi, nida fazli, gulzar, 
faaiz anwaar, and many more to our credit.

janaab, webustaad 

assalam-o-alaikum

u also must not forget that today is a commercial filmi era and 
it is quite possible for songs to be writen like that. even 
sameer has also 
given some very good shairies to indian films. 

please do not make such comments like this henceforth. this is 
becasue i have'nt seen any of the films or heard shairs from 
URDUSTAN i er... mean PAKISTAN. the day i hear or see something, 
i will definately make a comment on that if it is realy meant to 
be commenting upon. 

and by the way i'd like to say once what was said by my father 
in my childhood days that "BETA, URDU KISI KE BAAP KI JAGIR 
NAHI"

jazakamullah khair,

alah hafiz, pls do not feel bad
