The last post and all that talk of foaming at the mouth mullahs reminded me of Bulleh Shah's 'Jana jogi de naal'.
An excerpt:
9) Parrh parrh aalam faazal hoya
[He] Read a lot and became a scholar
10) Kadee apnay aap nu parrhaya ee naee-n
But [he] never read himself
11) Ja ja warrda mandir maseetee
[He] goes enters into the temple & mosque
12) Kadee man apnay which warrya ee naee-n
But [he] never entered into his own heart
..
17) Ra-tee jagay-n tay shaikh sada way-n
Religious scholars stay awake at night
18) Parr raat nu jaagan kutay, tay to utay
But dogs stay awake at night, higher than you
19) Ra-tee bhonko-n bass na karday
They don't cease from barking at night
20) Fayr ja larra-n which sutay, tay to utay
Then they go sleep in yards, higher than you
21) Yaar da buha mool na chhad-day
They [dogs] don't leave the beloved's doorstep
22) Paway-n maro sow sow jutay, tay to utay
Even if they're beaten hundreds of times, higher than you
23) Bulleh Shah utth yaar mana lay
Bulleh Shah get up and make up with the beloved
24) Na-een tay bazi lay ga-ay kutay, tay to utay
Otherwise dogs will win the contest, better than you

For those even slightly interested in modern paki. pop might be surprised to see an uncanny resemblence between this and Noor's new song 'Kuttay karay taaun uttay'. Although Ali hamza (who authored the lyrics) seems to insinuate that the 'just came to him'.
Bulley shah and Noori - I must admit, even I didnt see that coming.
