The Kapil Sharma Show S2 | Tribute To The Lyricists | Shabbir, Azhar Iqbal | Ep 339 | 1 July 2023

Thank you. Good evening and welcome to the Kapil Sharma Show. Thank you. Archana, looking at you makes me want to recite a poem. Go there and recite it. You did it here yesterday and it had to be cleaned! [laughter] How about over here? Here goes. Go on. 'This news has made it big among the media and the press.' Whoa! 'This news has made it big among the media and the press.' 'You look like a queen in the sponsor's dress!' Thank you. I will recite a poem now. No way! Accomplished poets are comin

g on the show. Why should I hear your poems? So, let's ignore her. Joining us are some accomplished poets. Let me introduce them to you. The one I am about to call upon first has given us some superhit songs like "Woh Lamhe". A big hand to Mr. Sayeed Quadri. He's an amazing lyricist. Sir, a warm welcome to you. It's your first time on the show. Well, I am proud to be on The Kapil Sharma Show. Sir, we are fortunate to have you here. If I talk about Mr. Quadri's songs, they're one better than the

other. But the anthem he penned for the youth, 'Bheegey Hont Tere'... Sir, what brought about the thirst? Oh! [audience applauds and cheers] Were you dehydrated the day you penned this song or were you parched after looking at Mallika? - I hail from Rajasthan. - Okay. - So, I get really thirsty. - All right. Instead of 'Bheegey Hont' (lips), it could have been 'Bheegey Oont' (camel). [laughter] Mr. Quadri doesn't seem like a man who harbours feelings of love. It seems like he teaches Math and th

at, too, in Urdu. Sir, do you write songs keeping the heroine in mind or the women from your previous affairs? - Let me answer that with a poem. - Okay. 'Their betrayal led to my prosperity.' - Wow. - Nice. 'Their betrayal led to my prosperity.' 'I am indebted to that love.' Nice! Lovely. Wonderful, Mr. Quadri. Please come. - Welcome to the show. - Thank you. Friends, let's move on. Calling upon our next guest. He has penned amazing songs like 'Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahi', - 'Aaoge Jab Tum Saajna'...

- Nice. 'Thoda Sa Pyar Hua Hai Thoda Hai Baaki'. 'Koi Fariyaad', all-time favourite. - Beautiful. - 'Tere Mast Mast Do Nain'. And other superhit songs. With a big hand, please welcome Mr. Faaiz Anwar. - Thank you. - It's great to see you. We've heard your songs for years. Let me tell you. He has been working from the year 1989 and he is brilliant. You know, when you just joined the industry in 1989, - I was only eight. - Yes. I decided at that moment I would host a show... [laughter] And invite

Mr. Anwar. [laughter] I want to tell you all that Mr. Sayeed Quadri and Mr. Faaiz Anwar have penned numerous songs for Mr. Mahesh Bhatt. Sir, does Mr. Bhatt give chances to newcomers or is it because they charge lower fees? [laughter] What is the reason? - Mr. Bhatt is extremely capable. - True. - The last song of the film 'Aashiqui' was remaining. - I see. - The lyrics of the song were 'Aao Ke Pyaar Hum Karein'. - Okay. This was the first line. The music was composed but Mr. Bhatt was not conv

inced. Nadeem said, "Let's try Faaiz." Mr. Bhatt said, "Try him. He has passion. He will know." I heard the tune. It was monsoon then. They handed a Walkman to me. "This is the tune." "This is your test. Show us what you've got." I went to the roof and came down in 40 minutes. I finished the song. 'Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin.' 'Mushkil Badi Hai Rasm-E-Mohabbat, Yeh Janta Hi Nahin.' - Whoa! - Wow! Oh, you penned this for 'Aashiqui' first. - It was for 'Aashiqui'. - Later for 'Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin'

as its title song. Wow, sir. The anecdotes are interesting. Please sit, sir. Let's call upon another amazing lyricist and poet. His superhit songs include 'Khalibali', 'Aayat', Please welcome Mr. A. M. Turaz. A warm welcome, Mr. Turaz. - Give him a big hand. - Whoa! What do I say about him? He's a lyricist as well as a poet. He has penned songs for many of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's films. I mentioned this because Sanjay is extremely creative and takes his time and gets into the detailing. Don't yo

u think if you had penned songs for Mr. Bhatt, you'd have another 200 songs in your library? - He takes up a lot of time. - You are absolutely right. - Work on a film lasts for a year. - Yes. You don't get the time to take up another project. A man gets so busy that he isn't left with time to get a haircut. It keeps you busy. I wish to recite a poem in honour of my tresses, Kapil. - Yes, please. - Here goes. 'This is a place where sadness turns to joy.' 'A flame lights up your soul.' 'Well, Tura

z's poem is almost there.' 'You see, people get jealous when I flick my hair!' Oh, my! Lovely! - Nice. - Thank you. Mr. Turaz, this happened when you just arrived. - Do you see Dinesh, the guitarist? - Yes. He followed you inside from the main gate. He thought you were a lady. - Right. - [laughter] I heard about an incident when you had visited a country in the Gulf. I was reciting poems in a symposium. The hall was packed. There were people even in the balconies. I was reciting poems. There was

a group of men. One of the men leaned over the balcony. He said, "Recite it again. That was just outstanding." I was elated. I said, "Thank you for asking for another recital." "Which poem will it be?" He said, "The poem doesn't matter as long as you flick those locks!" I said to him, "Have you really come here to see my locks?" [laughter] Nice. - Welcome, sir. A warm welcome. - Hi. Before I invite the next guest, let me tell you which songs he has penned. 'Aaj Ki Party Meri Taraf Se', 'Tera Py

aar Pyar Hookah Bar', 'Chalao Na Naino Se Baan Re'... Please welcome Mr. Shabbir Ahmed. He has written numerous songs, - but he has penned the most number of songs for Salman Khan. - Yes. Are you his favourite or did you delete the numbers of other poets from his phone? [laughter] Please take a seat and a warm welcome. I am about to call two people who steal the show. - Ah! - They are not robbers. What I mean to say is, that they are accomplished poets and steal people's hearts. Please welcome M

r. Mehshar Afridi. And Mr. Azhar Iqbal. - A very welcome to the show, Mr. Iqbal. - Thank you. - How are you? - Welcome. Great, sir. A big round of applause. [audience applauds and cheers] Mr. Afridi and Mr. Iqbal have such prominent names that when they arrive, people assume two cricketers will be coming. Let me tell you one thing. Just because we invited them together, it doesn't mean they are a duo like Abbas-Mustan. They work independently. They own different businesses and residences. I saw

them drinking their respective teas too. [laughter] Sir, you are poets. What do I say in your honour? I am nothing in comparison. But a poet is one who can say anything to anybody. Archana sits right before you. I see! If you could say two words in her honour, please. I dedicate four lines to Archana 'baaji'. Did you call her 'paaji'? - No, 'baaji'. - 'Baaji'. - 'Baaji'. Oh, 'baaji'. What does it mean? - 'Baaji'. - Elder sister. - Elder sister. - Yes. - Good Lord! - [hysterical laughter] He... S

he took 1.5 hours to get dressed. And you called her elder sister, Mr. Iqbal! Yes, Mr. Iqbal. This poem is dedicated to you. 'She is the one that people worship.' - Nice. - Wonderful. 'She is the one that people worship.' 'Her presence makes even the flowers bloom.' - Nice. - Wonderful. 'She is the one that people worship.' 'Her presence makes even the flowers bloom.' 'This time around, I will find a beloved' - 'who gets paid to laugh.' - Whoa! Whoa! Wonderful! Amazing! - Superb! - Amazing, Mr.

Iqbal. You were great. Would you like to, Mr. Afridi? I don't call anyone elder sister. [laughter] 'Why does your absence make me restless?' Whoa! Wonderful! 'Why do I need you?' - Ah! - Wonderful! 'Why does your absence make me restless?' 'Why do I need you?' 'Delusion brings not such bliss.' 'You indeed are beautiful.' Whoa! Wonderful! That was lovely. A big hand! [audience applauds] - Thank you. - A huge round of applause again. [audience applauds and cheers] Sir, we made the applause twice,

as we came to know that poets are hungry for claps. - Is it true? - Absolutely. Shall we cancel the tea and snacks which we ordered? [laughter] When I received a call from the channel, then I became happy and excited. - I went to my wife and told her... - Okay. - I mean... - Welcome. - Just now you said, sister. - Yes. Your wife is right here. Now I got it. I went to my wife and said, "There's good news." Then her facial impressions changed. She asked if I am going to marry again. [laughter] By

just watching Pakistani serials, - Indian husbands are at a loss. - Why? The wives are thinking that the husbands are having an affair. Amazing! How can you think it so correctly? [laughter] - When we got your invitation, - Yes, sir. I was telling to Azhar, I remembered about Mr Salim, - the father of Salman. - Yes. When Mr Salim was asked, when Sholay was a hit, then how did you feel? - It happened in your show. - Yes. He said, "I got angry." [laughter] That's what I was saying to Azhar, "Today

, I am getting angry." It's our good fortune that you've come here today. We are with such talented people. Sir, come. Welcome. [applause] Before we continue the evening, there's a thing that is wandering in the universe for years. People say that, I have never heard it from poets, but it's said, a person becomes a poet when he is emotionally hurt. The youth of today who have interest in becoming poets, should they study you or should they go somewhere and get emotionally hurt? Get emotionally h

urt first, it's better. By getting emotionally hurt... Get emotionally hurt, study, understand life, and read books as well. I would like to add one more thing to it. Yes, sir. Getting emotionally hurt is not the desire, but it's getting hurt again and again. Okay. Again and again. Have to emotionally hurt many times? [laughter] I can remember a poem. "I don't know what's the wish of the heart." Wow. - "It's doing the same again." - Wow. "I don't know what's the wish of the heart." "It's doing t

he same again." "It always loved the dreams which were broken." Wow! Amazing. Pandey was saying that if the heartbreaks in love, then it's fine. These days bones break a lot. Bones do break in love. The girl's father followed him with a hockey, he is the one to make the goal, not by him. [laughter] - I will recite a poem. - Yes, sir. Let me recite. "Don't force me so much that people start talking." Wow. "I vow on your head," "I will eat the lies." "My hearing has beared many walls of silence th

at now." "I can target even on the voice." Amazing! Wow! "My hearing has beared many walls of silence that now" "I can target even on the voice." "If I tell the stories of my youth" "these boys will start massaging my feet." [laughter] Amazing, Mr Afridi. Wow! When you ignored Archana the moment you came, I came to know then only, that is how your nature is. Amazing, Mr Afridi. - I want to share an experience. - Yes. We were discussing heartbreak, I have come to the side that - too many mistakes

are happening. - Okay. "Too many mistakes are happening," "love is becoming fake," "the person's company which spoiled me" "that girl is becoming nice." [applause] Amazing! Wow! It's amazing. Sometimes heartbreak won't work. - Yes, Mr Faaiz. - There's a poem. "If he sees a bed of roses, then he cries," "if he sees a bed of roses, then he cries," "strange person, he sleeps on thorns every day." - Wow! - Wow! "And if she is near," - "it feels like she's drifting away," - Amazing. "if she is near,

it feels like she's drifting away," "when she is far, then she is near to me." Wow! Amazing. Wow! Outstanding, sir. Kapil, I have a different incident - from them. - Yes, sir. "I had to hide from everything." Wow. "I had to hide from everything." "I was so poor that I couldn't give the gesture." "The girl always stayed like a dream." "I could give her the proposal of love." - Wow! - Very good. Can you hear what he is saying? He's with us for only 90 minutes, after that, you will see him. What t

o do? You read these poems in front of your wife, don't you get scared if she can swell your dot? [laughter] Kapil, I want to say a poem. "Without telling her, I need to fulfil," "without telling her," "I need to fulfil." "Love is a secret, it needs to be hidden." Wow! My wife is sitting there. Okay. Welcome to the show. I dedicate the poem to her. "Love is a secret, it needs to be hidden," "I was better without you, what a trouble," [laughter] "I was better without you," "what a trouble." "What

kind of love is this that I need to show it every day." [laughter] - Wow! - Very good. - Amazing. - Very good. I want to declare on national TV that nobody is more valiant than a poet. [laughter] You are expressing your heart in front of your wife. - Wow! - It's to be said, Kapil. Shabbir, you didn't say anything regarding this. Sir, what can I say? Is a crisis going on in love? He saw the party and thought the party is over? - What do? - Do the party and go, right? They are top poets, what can

I say about this? You are not 17 years old. Sir, it's not like that. "Why are these cities deserted." Wow, the cities. "Why are" "these cities deserted." "Why is every person tense?" Wow. "Why don't we get the destination of happiness," "why is every step a painful hearing?" - Wow. - Wow! Shabbir, I thought you only write dance numbers. - That's it. - Yes! - Wow! - Please say. "I had to destroy myself." "I had to destroy myself." "I had to destroy myself," "to live I had to die a little." - Wow

! - Wow! "ever since the expectations of trust increased," "ever since the expectations of trust increased," "I had to get down on the deep sea." Wow! Amazing. Wow! Hello! How are you? Kapil, for the past five years, I have always made my entry with a dance. - Yes. - Isn't it? [applause] I want to say one thing, no matter how many times I danced on this show, I would like to give that credit to Archana. Does she teach you? She didn't. She keeps on sitting, we have to make all the extra effort. [

laughter] Top poets have come today, I am feeling very good. Didn't Rakesh Roshan come today? He is not a poet. - He is not a poet. - He is a famous poet. - How? - You guys make the ambience bright, he made Hrithik Roshan. [laughter] Wow! Sapna, you come from Nala Sopara to talk this nonsense? Even if I come from France, then I will speak nonsense. [laughter] Don't these nonsense talks make you laugh? Yes! [applause] Top poets are here, so I need to have a poetic attitude. - Yes. - There should

not be hello and hi. [chuckles] [laughter] [laughter] Greetings to you from Nalasopara. [laughter] What do you want to have? Tea or coffee? [laughter] I made it for you. Hi. Wow, the Rahul Roy of poets has come. [laughter] Amazing. - Can I sit here? - Come. Thank you. For the first time see black, white, and colour on the Kapil Sharma Show. [laughter] Do like this. Yes! Like this. - You do it. - Yes! Now you can hear everything I say. [laughter] - Archana, release your hair. - No. If you will re

lease your hair, the three of us will look the same. [laughter] [laughter] He is a very handsome poet. Clap for him. Very nice. - Thank you. - Sir, how are you? I feel happy that you have come to the show. Yes. I feel happy that you have come to the show. I also felt good. Both things are the same. - You explain it to him. - She did it twice. [laughter] [applause] Sir has written a song like that. "Your two beautiful eyes" "have stolen the peace of my heart." "Have stolen the peace of my heart,"

"your two beautiful eyes." [applause] - [cheering] - [clapping] By the way, we are in trouble. Sir, we live in Nala Sopara. People face a lot of problems. - Some houses have water supply but no utensils. - Okay. And some of the houses have utensils but no water supply. Those who have utensils and water supply, don't have a house. - [laughing] - [clapping] Why are you sharing these things with him? Actually, they narrate a chorus. So I'm narrating my problems. - [laughing] - [clapping] Very good

! But, sir, to be honest, my uncle - got married because of you all. - How? You all go on stage and ask for 'tavajjo'. He went on stage and asked for Rajjo. - [laughing] - [clapping] People from UP, Uttarakhand and Rajasthan are here. - Ms. Archana, you must be happy today. - Why? Because a poet from Punjab didn't come. - [laughing] - [clapping] She is always in stress. Whenever a flight from Amritsar leaves for Mumbai, she calls up and asks, "is he on board?" - [laughing] - [clapping] Sir, you

all write impressive lyrics. Amazing lines. Honestly. Sir, you remind me of Mr. Javed Akhtar. - You are Brother Azhar, right? - Yes. Why are you sad? He also is not the real one. He hurt me. Look. Not me! - [laughing] - [clapping] - [whimpering] - [cheering] Sir, what is it? I'm neither maternal uncle, paternal uncle nor your aunt. Then why don't you hold my hand? I'm tired of hearing you call me a brother. Why don't you take my name? - [cheering] - [clapping] Amazing, sir! Thank you! Sir, thoug

h you have grey hair, you are a romantic. - [laughing] - [clapping] - Awesome! - Sir, you all write lyrics on the topic of love. - Mr. Faaiz Anwar, I have an ex-boyfriend. - Alright. I wrote something for him. If you allow me, I'll recite. - Please recite. - Go on! - Sure. - Okay. Let me recite. - Recite... - Go on. - Dog! - [chuckling] Awesome! - Dog! - Please complete the sentence. He is a complete dog! - [laughing] - [clapping] Kappu, he deserves to be called names. - He mistreated me. - What

did he do? Sir, I was going to get engaged. Yes, please give the background music. Let me tell you. Sir, my engagement was fixed. Ms. Archana, he came to my house at 2 am in an inebriated state and said, "Why are you busy with another boy?" 'Gosh!' - [laughing] - [clapping] Sir, isn't he a betrayer? Of course! I was busy with my second boyfriend. If he was also drunk, there would have been a squabble. - [laughing] - [clapping] Let's conduct a small test. - I'll recite a line as a cue. - Hmm. -

Then you must turn it into a couplet. - Hmm! Alright? Sir, please let him sit closer to me. Now we'll watch them write poetry live. [amusing music] '- She is giving a cue.' - What are you up to? - She's giving a cue. - I'm giving him a cue. - [laughing] - [clapping] Oh my God! As you all write lyrics, - I brought something for you. - Go on. - What happened? - What is it? - What are these? - These are leaves. It's part of a process. First, the leaves came and then the goat and the Sher at last. -

[laughing] - [clapping] - Nice! - Right, sir? - The lion eats the goat. - Okay. The goat eats leaves - and the leaves ruin the house. - Wonderful! - How can leaves ruin a house? - I'm talking about cards. '- Ah!' - [cheering] - [cheering] - [clapping] Sapna, why did you come here? "Why I came here?" Sir, I run a massage parlour. I live in Nala Sopara. Actually, I came here to book you all. I need you at Nala Sopara for two days. - Why? - Sir, dengue is rampant in our area. I want you all to org

anise a show as a huge crowd gathers for your show. When you'd recite poetry, people will clap like this. - [laughing] - [clapping] The dengue-causing mosquitoes will be dead. You want to organise a Mushaira to kill mosquitoes! Why don't you spray mosquito repellent? No. I'll do what I want to do. Why should I listen to you? - [laughing] - [clapping] Anyway, sir, please visit my parlour. We provide different types of massages. You may come and I'll give Mehfil Massage to you. - What's special ab

out it? '- Mehfil-e-massage.' For that massage, we look for a man - whose wife's name is Shama. - Alright. Then we escort that man inside the building. - [laughing] - [clapping] Before applying the oil, we call his wife inside. We apply oil to the husband in front of the wife. - You must be wondering why we do that. - Why do you do that? It helps in lighting the Shama. - [laughing] - [clapping] You correlated them wonderfully. - Wonderful! Amazing! - Amazing! The lamp lights up and gatherings be

come lively like our show. - Bravo! - Well said! It was nice to meet you all. - Thank you very much! - Bye! - Bye! - [cheering] - [cheering] - [clapping] - Kapil, I remembered a couplet for you. - Okay, sir. By God's grace, you are a versatile personality. - God bestowed you with immense talent. - Thank you! Let me recite a couplet. "Please don't underestimate my talent." "Please don't underestimate my talent." "My talent is endless, infinite and limitless." Wow! Bravo! - Wonderful! - Well said!

Thank you! - Fabulous! - It's God's grace. The songs of 'Hamari Adhuri Kahani' were endearing. Mr. Sayeed Quadri wrote its lyrics. Mr. Quadri, when they approached you to write for 'Hamari Adhuri Kahani', didn't you ask them, "first, complete the story." "I'll write the lyrics according to the situation." Let me explain it with a couplet. "There was no incident, story or conversation between us." "My meeting with them was such." - Oh, my! Well said! '- Well said!' Amazing, sir! Wonderful! He ju

st asked me. Actually, Mr. Bhatt has been kind to me. He brought me from Jodhpur and introduced me to films. - My first film was 'Jism'. - Okay. It had a famous song, 'Awarapan'. Sir, it's a beautiful song. - Actually, it's a part of my life. - Alright. I struggled here for 6 to 7 years and then went back. - Alright. - I worked as a LIC agent after going back. - Oh! - We heard - that you sold insurance policies. - I did it for ten years. Did you sell insurance policies to everyone or only those

who heard your couplets? - [laughing] - [clapping] They were the people who lived in my locality. Kapil, the thing is, - my two sisters did jobs. - Alright. My mother was in politics. Daily... My brother was busy with his own work. - I was the most useless person at my home. - Alright. I used to shave at approx 10:30 am and dressed up after bathing. Then I wondered where to go. Everyone had a job but I was jobless. I used to walk on roads and sit inside libraries. I used to observe people while

sitting at the station. So it was a part of my life. "Aimless and wanderlust existence" - "is my ultimate wish." - "Is my ultimate wish." '- Well said!' - "I'm anxious every moment." - "Who is troubling me constantly?" - Wow! - What a wonderful line! - Too good! Awesome! My love for the film industry and my success can be explained like this. "The glowing sun doesn't set for the entire night" "on this road." '- Oh, my!' - Aha! "The glowing sun doesn't set for the entire night" "on this road." "I

chose such a road for myself" "in love." Oh, my! Wow! 'Wonderful!' - "Aimlessness and wanderlust..." - Well said! The quality of a poet is, they talk about themselves, but the whole world is included in it. - Well said! '- Awesome!' Actually, it's true. - [drums beating] - [clapping] After hearing Azhar Iqbal's poem, Ms. Sushmita Sen hugged him once. - [laughing] - [clapping] Why are you embarrassed? It happened, right? I mean... Oh! Ma'am, it's the truth. Er... After getting such a response fr

om Sushmita, did you recite the same poem to another heroine? Did any of your friends ask you for the poem which leads to hugs? "I'll return it to you after the hug." - [laughing] - [clapping] Mr. Iqbal, what was that poem? Please recite it for us. Kapil, firstly, I was a fan of her voice. - Her mannerisms. - And her mannerisms. When I went to meet her... She heard my poem backstage and after she came on the ramp, she asked, "who was reciting the poem?" I introduced myself to her. She asked me t

o come closer. Then she gave me a tight hug. Maybe that moment was the most beautiful moment in my life. A moment that inspires you. Love is something where you lose everything. - Well said. '- Wow!' Poems can't be written after gratification. - Well said, Mr. Iqbal! '- Wow!' 'Bravo!' I recited a poem for her later. "Suddenly I have transformed into a jungle from a barren land." - Yes. - "Suddenly I have transformed" "into a jungle from a barren land." "Your closeness has made me complete." '- O

h, my!' - Wow! Wonderful! Fabulous! "I observed every mole on your body a hundred times." '- Oh, my!' - Well said! "I observed every mole on your body a hundred times." "I observed them so closely that I have gone crazy." Oh, my! - Bravo! - Wonderful! Awesome! - I recited this couplet for another person. - Alright. "She smoked cigarettes as she was in love with me." '- Really?' - Aha! "She smoked cigarettes as she was in love with me." "Her lips turned purple from pink." - [laughing] - [clapping

] - Well said! - Bravo! - Awesome! - They look purple now. This poem smelled of tobacco. Amazing! Sushmita is fine but in case Ms. Archana wants to hug you, please don't give in. Do you know why? You are a full-time poet but a part-time poet used to be a part of this show. - [laughing] - [clapping] 'Give a big hand.' [audience applauding] He's in my dreams and thoughts! But not on Television. Only because of you! [laughs] [theme music playing] Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome the heart of the event

! Reciting poems is just like eating cashews for him, please welcome our dear Raju! [laughs] Woah! Lovely! Greetings, Ustad. Did he fall into a drain full of henna? [laughs] Bow down totally to seek blessings. Are my feet so high? [laughs] Bow down! Totally! No, Boss. You steal our wallets if we bow down. [laughs] I, Raju Amritsari greet all of the guests here. Greetings! - Sir, you must have heard of "Amritsari Kulcha". - Yes. He is a stale flatbread of Amritsar! [laughs] I would like to recite

these lines for you. - Go ahead! - "Irshad!" Mohan! [laughs] What's going on? Both of us are introducing ourselves. - "Irshad" means permission granted. - Permission? Yes! So, I continue... My heartbeat will only be dedicated to you. - Wow! - Nice! My heartbeat will only be dedicated to you. Try to listen to my heartbeat Shut up and go to your bread-making stall. Enough of your drama! You and your two friends! Non-sense! Such fine poets are sitting right here. What are you even reciting? Recit

e something logical. If you allow! You healthy disciples, why don't you beat your boss up? [laughs] You are good for nothing. Are you here to take insults? Get out of here. He is my college friend, Raju. Who are you today? I am here today with a talent that I have hidden inside me for years. Why did you let your talent come out then? - If you allow! - Sure! [laughs] You can finally begin. Try it! What if you actually have something to say? [laughs] Please go ahead! Talent will also bounce back d

espite being suppressed. Sir, pay him 10 rupees per person and he will leave. He won't leave otherwise. Is my talent worth 10 rupees? Take 15 rupees instead. - I would like to recite two lines for you. - Sure. Where should I go? To hell! Why do we care? It's a good place to go. Where should I go? A place where I don't miss you. I will give 1000 rupees cash to the one who strangles him. [laughs] - Actually, our ancestors... - Yes... They were called for musical evenings to light up the event. His

grandfather would hold the candle in his mouth as there were no candle stands back then. That's why he claims to belong to a poet family. Sir, I am telling the truth. I recited a poem to Mr. Bhatt when I was an amateur poet and he hugged me for it. Tell them the truth! People held his legs after the hug and they beat him till they got an idea of the movie "Murder". [laughs] - Sir, I would like to... - Sure. Please don't interrupt. Let me finish. Let me start with it then. Get out! - No need to

recite. - I will! - A very beautiful poem! - Sure. My pulse has dropped and my heart is beating slowly. You are about to die. Your sugar levels have dropped. Go and get them checked. He is not reciting a poem but discussing his health issue. I have written a poem for my lover. Go and recite it to her then. Why him? She doesn't listen to me. Let me recite it to the people who are ready to listen to me. With a hope that she would peep at me from her window, I broke the glass of her car parked in

the building. - [laughs] - Nice! He broke the glass of the car and his father squeezed his lemon-like face. Nothing like that! - He doesn't know a thing. - And then the father of the girl tied him to the bonnet of the car for 2 months and he wiped the glass of the car with his legs during the monsoon. Poet, it seems! Sir, a raw mango ripe only after dipped in oil. Everything is fair in love and war. Woah! That's right. He is a shameless person, Sir. I don't know what to say. At a musical evening

, someone felicitated him by giving a shawl. He requested them not to remove the tag as he can't sell it further. [laughs] He is so shameless. I don't expose him as I feel ashamed. A CCTV camera was installed in his society and he threw a brick at his brother's head. To know if it gets recorded or not. He installed a doorbell inside the house initially as he doesn't want others to use it because he spent for it. That's right. What an answer! - Wow! - Fantastic! Get lost! Why are you spoiling our

mood here? I am not spoiling your mood. I am making it. You look like a fox from Uganda. [laughs] Sir, just like in the old times, Kings would give jewellery to a person who recites good poetry. I went to a musical evening and they gave me their bangles. They gave you bangles and then a skirt and top. They covered his face with a veil and made him dance for 2.5 hours on "Dil hai ke manta nahi". Lie! That's a lie! I danced on "Bheege Hont Tere". [laughs] I danced for 30 mins and people almost be

lieved I was Mallika Sherawat till my beard got off. Oh my! Very well! Kapil, Raju Amritsari went to a poet to recite a poem. The poet asked him to recite it. His poem went like...One must have had two hearts in love. One would be kept and the other lost in love. The poet requested if he could change it a bit. He allowed him. And said...There should have been 100 hearts in love. Slowly, I would lose all of them in love. Woah! Very well! Then he went to another poet. He repeated...There should ha

ve been 100 hearts in love. Slowly, I would have lost all of them in love. The poet said that this poem could not be composed by him. When he asked the reason the poet said you can't afford more than 2 hearts. [laughs] He is always in a bad shape! Sir, you won't believe. - He wore a mask to meet a girl. - Yes. Her family asked him to remove the mask as there is no Covid now. He said that they would run away if he removed his mask. That's his situation. I am not kidding. He went to see a girl and

the maid asked him to get up as she wanted to sweep. He said it's clean but she wanted to sweep his face. - I... - You remind me of a poem. Sure, Sir. The evening is lit here. I can only think of stones to throw at him. - Yes. - Every darkness turned into light. Every darkness turned into light. Every person thinks of himself to be a poet now! [laughs] Every darkness turned into light. Every person thinks of himself to be a poet now! We could have had our own tavern. We could have had our own t

avern. The amount of money I spent behind a lover. Woah! - Very nice! - Fantastic! I composed something right now. Tell me. - Your love... - Says who? - Raju Amritsari! - Okay. Your love is like a story on Instagram. And your face is like a sack full of stones. [laughs] Let me complete! Your love is like a story on Instagram. Despite sacrificing my life, it will be erased in 24 hours. Wow! Your love is like a story on Instagram. Despite sacrificing my life, it will be erased in 24 hours. My love

is like a post on Instagram. Despite all your efforts, it can be seen. Woah! A mother applies a black spot behind the ear when a child is born. When he was born, his mother spat black ink on his face. Sir, I will recite my poem outside now. Raju, just like Labour Day, Day of Happiness or Women's Day... It is an Insult Day for you today. It's an insult year for him, Sir. No, Sir. I do recite good poems but will do it outside now. Thank you, Sir. Thank you very much. Thank you, Sir. [audience app

lauding] [claps] If you observe Mr Afridi closely, he's a wonderful poet and it looks like he's come here leaving his IPS job. Sometimes you look like Muzaffarpur's SP. Look at the personality. Mr. Afridi, sir, did you want to become a poet from the beginning or have you ever given some Bank exams too? I mean, you have an amazing personality. Kapil, any artist is a born artist. - Absolutely. Like you, I've no better example. - Yes sir. Nature has sent you here saying 'Go make the world laugh.' T

hat's how I am. Let me present something. Whatever I am, it is equal to my capabilities, Whatever I am, it's equal to my capabilities. Neither did I have a mentor nor did I have a godfather. [claps] [claps] There's a very famous poem by Afridi sir on alcohol. You spoiled my intoxication by saying it's forbidden. [laughter] We can't order something on TV but we can at least do gestures. This is a fact. Whenever a person does a mistake. I remember a poem by Mr. Krishna Behari Noor. You may say any

thing, the conscience still trembles. Wow. You may say anything, the conscience still trembles. Be it before committing a mistake or after that. - Wow! - Amazing. My poem was. By saying that this is forbidden. By saying that this is forbidden, you've ruined my intoxication. Amazing. Saying that this is forbidden you've ruined my intoxication. My conscience has ruined the fun of making a mistake. Wow! That's amazing. Wow! Like, we have these people from the movies sitting over here. I don't have

anything with me but in our poet gatherings there are many strange situations. I remember a thing from one of those events. The good thing about that event was that the people who were conducting it. The organizers of that event were very powerful men. Okay. They were conducting it and the audience over there were all bodyguards of those men. Everyone had a gun with them. - Wow! - So this was the situation. And the poets were sitting behind in fear thinking I shouldn't make any mistakes. Anyway,

the event started. One by one the poets did their poetry and then when a poet was about to start so, from the other side it was like... [gun shots] The poets got scared. One of the organizers said, 'Don't worry, they like you.' [laughter] This was one thing. I remember one more thing. There was an event in interior Pratapgarh. Pratapgarh was itself in the interior. And this was in its interior. - Okay. So, they called us. They said, 'Reach that place and a car will take you further from there.'

I reached the spot and we saw our guy standing there. Greetings! Please come. I said, 'Where's the car?' Here it is! There was just a bike. [laughter] I had a suitcase with me. - Oh my god! I sat on the bike and both the footrests were missing. [laughter] There were no footrests and I was holding the suitcase. How did you even... - He must have been riding his bike in the well of death. The speed at which he rode. On top of it, there was no road there. - Oh! - Oh! I said, please ride slowly. He

says, 'Sir, we'll be late.' I said, 'Look for a shortcut then.' He said, 'Sure, this can be done.' He turned the bike into a farm. [laughter] After riding like this for a long, I saw a road, a village. There was a nursing home over there and he stopped the bike over there. He said, 'Come.' I thought he had a patient inside that he's about to meet. I went in with the suitcase. There were beds over there. I could see saline bottles hanging. - Okay. 'This is yours!' 'This is yours, please take som

e rest.' I saw a few more poets under the blankets. They said, 'Welcome, Mr Mehshar, please come.' [laughter] I said, 'No hotel?' They said, 'No, there's no hotel. The doctor has sponsored us.' [laughter] So, this happens too. What if somebody had put you on blood at night? Turaz, from the alcoholic union... There's an all-India alcoholic union. Its chairman is very close to Archana. No, it must be Kapil! You've written a beautiful poem on alcohol. So they request you. Look, I don't drink alcoho

l. So, I just... - I believe you. [laughter] Let me present something else. It's a poem. If you'd know about my problems, my sorrows and my trauma. If you'd know about my problems, my sorrows and my trauma. If you'd lose someone, you'd know about what I'm going through. [laughter] If you'd lose someone, you'd know about what I'm going through. If we'd died together, then this could've happened. I could know about your sorrow and you could know about mine. [claps] First of all, I just want to pra

ise you. Every person loves their mother but I've seen two people in my life. One of which is Sanjay Leela Bansali, who loves his mother a lot. A lot! - and his mother is often with him. And the other one is you. Your mother is often with you. - Thank you. - Kapil's mom, greetings. You've given birth to such a great artist because only a great artist can tolerate so many other artists. I praise you. Thank you, Turaz. The way Kapil laughs and makes another laugh. There's a very long script behind

this written by the Lord which made him reach here. It has laughter, sorrow and happiness too. Everything is in this... Let me present another poem. If happiness could have been my partner, why would I cry? If happiness could have been my partner, why would I cry? If I had her, then there would be nothing to lose. [claps] Amazing one, Turaz. If I had her, then there would be nothing to lose. The next poem is if they wouldn't have been away from me, then I wouldn't have been away from them. If t

his accident wouldn't have happened, then what else could happen? Amazing! This poem is only for you, Kapil. Your farms would've been in a state of drought for years... This farm of comedy in which you've grown crops. Your farms would've been in a state of drought for years, what could I've sown if I hadn't turned to dust? [claps] There's this amazing incident that happened to me at an event. I was going to an event in some other countries. There was an elderly poet who got stuck with me and I c

ame to know this in the airport that he's travelling on a plane for the first time. I thought he'd be an amazing partner to pass the time on the journey. I thought let's have some fun. Now, he sat beside me and after a lot of time since the plane took off and he started wiggling around. I asked if everything is okay. He said, 'Where's the washroom?' I said, 'You can't just go to the washroom.' Oh my! - He said, 'Why?' I said, 'They charge 500 rupees' for one time! He said, 'Okay then.' He was qu

iet for some time but he was an elderly person, he couldn't hold it anymore, so he started wiggling around. I said, 'What happened?' He says, 'I'm taking the 500 rupees.' To which I said, 'You can give that later.' He asked me to take him to the washroom so I did that. Now he's taking a lot of time inside, not coming out. He just sat inside. He came out after a long time. I told him, 'What happened? You got me scared.' I said, 'What happened?' He said, 'Since it's so expensive,' 'I emptied every

thing, squeezed out every single drop.' [laughter] My god! I can never forget that incident. [laughter] This one time, I was travelling by train along with Saghar Khayyami. Saghar Khayyami was a renowned Urdu poet. That scale in poetry ended with him. - Okay. - He was that great a poet. I'll recite one of his couplets so you will know what I mean. 'A dog from a village mocks a dog from Delhi.' - 'Who taught you to turn tail?' - Oh! It replied, 'Don't mistake it for cowardice.' 'There is no place

here to even turn one's tail!' [laughter] That's Saghar Khayyami for you. I have attended a few symposiums with him. So, we were travelling. No one came to sell tea as there was no pantry. A tea seller boarded the train perchance. Sir said, "Give me a cup of tea, son." The tea tasted quite like the one you offered me. [laughter] The tea... He served tea and left, then came back after a while. Sir said, "Add two pieces of meat to the tea, son." Meat! [laughs] It had too much masala. - The tea wa

s not... - Didn't you like the tea? - Kapil, let me tell you what kind of tea he likes... - Yes? - By way of a poem. - Yes, sir. Please. 'The scent of her touch lingers on the cup.' - Wow! - Oh, my! 'The scent of her touch lingers on the cup.' 'Every sip of tea reminds me of the scent of her body.' Oh, my! Lovely! - Oh, my! Lovely! - Lovely. Did you see how Mr. Iqbal smiles while reciting a poem? If he were to even recite a sad poem, it would be with a smile. It gives a similar feeling like the

girl might have dumped you, but she gave you a friend's number. She will replace her. He shows that kind of conviction. Lovely, Mr. Iqbal. - True, Kapil. - Wonderful. [music playing] Ah! Ah! How are you? What? How... [laughs] Oh, wow! This is amazing. Sharma! Did you notice? - What? - Did you, Archana? How did I grow taller than you all of a sudden? Look how tall I am. Come here. Come and stand over here. Stand here. [laughter] Love you! Wonderful! The place is buzzing! - Azhar, how are you? - S

ir. - May I? - Sure. - Please. - All right. Hello, Guddu? Azhar has given us his consent. You may steal anything you want. [laughter] He can't take legal action as he has given us permission. Aren't you ashamed - to seek permission to steal? - No, I am not. [laughter] I am not ashamed. Sir, please understand that I am doing this for your benefit. - If you get robbed... - Yes? - You will be sad. - True. - You will agonise. - Yes. - What do sadness and agony make? Some amazing poetry! - Poetry. Ye

s. Wow! You will earn twice the money than the cost of the stolen goods! [laughter] My happiness knows no bounds on seeing all of you here. - Are you such a big fan? - Nice. I sure am a fan, but I run a parking business outside. - The more cars that come here, the happier it makes me. - Happier. Let me be honest. Reciting poetry and parking aren't very different, you see. - Really? - You say "wow" to good poetry. - Whereas you say the same thing in parking too. - How so? When people drive throug

h, I tell them, "Whoa! Whoa!" [laughter] [audience applauds and cheers] - I would like to give you all a piece of advice. - Sure. It will ensure you never face a shortage of money in your life. How so? Buy a gold ring, affix a 1.8-carat sapphire and topaz stone each and a tiny diamond in between the two stones. It could be one carat also. Affix it. Wear the gold ring on your ring finger. You will never face a shortage of money. What if you still do? Simple! Then sell the ring! [laughter] Why don

't you get 'use me' printed here? Then people will know where to throw the garbage. [laughter] I will not have 'use me' printed. But in order to escape your nonsense, - I sure will have 'excuse me' printed! - Yes. Whoa! - [audience applauds] - Nice. - I am a lawyer by profession. - Yes. I am very fond of poetry. - I am so fond of poetry that when I get a case, - Yes. then I don't look for strong evidence. I look for point evidence. Wow! A few days ago, I got a wound. I didn't say ouch. You must

have said wow! Why would I say wow, I said to call the doctor. [laughter] When you're hurt then a doctor works not poetry. [laughter] It was a strange wound that I couldn't know where it was in the body. If I press anywhere, then it hurts. I press here, it hurts. I press there, it hurts. The doctor told me that I am a foolish person, my finger hurt. [laughter] I heard it in my childhood. Mr P. M. Turaz... Not, P. M. Turaz, he is A. M. Turaz. He must be A. M. Turaz in the morning. It's evening, b

y now you must be PM. [laughter] I was telling that you turned to be a little selfish. - Yes. - You have so much hair, share some. Why are you troubling our guests? I am not troubled. I was saying that I get happy after seeing your talents. You guys make ghazals, songs, and poems. But there's one thing which even if you want, you can't make. What? Banana. A thing which already made from before... - Banana! - What to make it? What will you make it? It's already a banana from before. Kapil, after

seeing him I have got love for him. We'll give him to you after the show. [laughter] - I want to say a poem about him. - Please. "Your beauty is for testimony," "be that argument that can't be cut." Wow. "What if you lose love for a case," "lobby for us, be a lawyer." [applause] Amazing. Many thanks to you. It was an amazing poem. Can I tell you the truth? As you guys do poetry, even I am fond of it. - Sure. - Even I write poetry. But at the end of the poetry, I don't get the... - Timing? - No,

girlfriend. [laughter] That's why you're writing poems as you're not getting a girlfriend. It might be my mistake. My verse is not right. Not just verse, your chorus is also not right. [laughter] I wanted one more help from you. I have got a case on Ludo. For that I want you - to come to the court and give a statement. - Why would he do that? If he can give a song to Ludo, can't he give a statement? The case is not so complicated. - Two boys were playing ludo. - Okay. So one of them threw meat.

- Not bone, it's the dice. - No! The guy was eating meat. Okay. So he threw the meat. Why did he throw? Because his opponent threw the dice. [laughter] The mother reached there. The mother threw bread. The bread which the mother threw, it was a bit thick. Oh, dear. The mistake that the mother did was that she hit the bread on the one who hit the meat. Since he threw the meat, he does not have it. If he would have it, then he could eat it with the bread. Mother should have hit the bread who threw

the dice. The one who hit the meat did it after he was hit by the dice. Since you have meat and bread, you can eat them. Now he has neither bread nor meat, how will he eat? [laughter] You have been saying meat. You need to accept that the guests here are very nice, very loving, very well-mannered, because when I told this the judge, he gave me four slaps before it was complete. [laughter] You guys listened to me with decency and love. I am very thankful to you. Meet me while going, I'll give yo

u guys pillows. - Why pillow? - Everybody gives blankets and shawls. Nobody gives pillows. [laughter] Kapil, I want to ask you something. - Yes. - Have you ever left an ongoing interview? - No, I haven't. - You haven't, right? I just wanted to confirm that when I go with the nuts, whether you'll follow me or not? [laughter] Sir, you must have written poems on love, poems on separation, poems on eyes. Today we will be showing you some pictures, on any picture if you want, then you can say. Please

. [laughter] In this picture, a man and two women are going. Yes! I have a poem. "This is not the law of heart, that you can corner it." "Love can happen twice, do it again." [applause] I can say, "If someone gives you a hand, then take it," "have both the love together." "Dear friend," "let's go to our home." "Dear friend, let's go to our home." "Here hearts are small and so are the homes." Wow! - Amazing. - It's awesome. We have some more pictures. Please show. Oh! Mr Iqbal wants to have fun.

The picture compelled me to have fun. I remember a poem by Saghar Khayyami after seeing this picture. Okay. "Everywhere there are rivets on the track." Everywhere there are rivets on the track. "And I've got the order to walk with my buttock." Oh! After seeing this, it looks like that in love, not only pain happens, there is smoke too, that's why there's a silencer. [laughter] "Destinations called him a lot but.".. Wow. "Destinations called him a lot but" "he was destined to wander." Wow! He is

wandering in such a way. Show more. [laughs] Social media is responsible for it. - And the man who created the first camera phone. - Yes. He is taking pictures with a snake. "He came on the phone," "This was seen by my friend," "after that, there was no light in the oil lamps." [laughter] "He likes havoc on himself." "He likes havoc on himself." "This guy likes poison." - Wow! - Wow! - [cheering] - [clapping] Please show us more. It's yours. This... She's signalling the train. Look! This woman..

. Let me recite a couplet for her. "The lady is lost in her thoughts." "The lady is lost in her thoughts." - Oh, my! '- Wow!' "She can't see the difference between a rail and a car." Well said! Please show us more. 'Oh!' Four kids, a wife, himself and a dog are also tied up on the side. 'Yes!' It's a miracle that the motorcycle is still moving. You may comment on this picture. It's too difficult. "Two kids are more than enough." Right. My friend, I can't say anything better. This man adjusted fo

ur people. They can't be adjusted even in a car. Sir, the motorcycle is being tortured. The boy is quite powerful. Why are you bothered? [chuckling] The motorcycle's power is 100 CC and the boy's power is 400 CC. - [laughing] - [clapping] Show us more. '- Yes. - So it's a monkey.' "The newspaper created a strange scenario." "The newspaper created a strange scenario." "I used to be a human, but I'm turned into a monkey." - Well said! - Wow! Are they over? Shabbir, I have heard that you were incli

ned towards - acting before writing. - That's true. When did you meet Salman for the first time? I met Salman around the year 2000. I was interested in acting as I saw the film 'Swarg'. So I had the acting bug. Every person has the right to dream. '- Right!' - I also had the right to dream. I met Sajid and Wajid. Sajid and Wajid took me with them. I went and met him. Salman was right in front of me and he walked towards me. Sajid and Wajid recited the chorus I wrote. He loved it. Then he rested

his hand on my shoulder. I looked up towards God. I said, "Allah, You are the only witness of this." - Oh, my! - Such a famous actor. People are crazy for him and he rested his hand on my shoulder. Then he asked me, "what do you do?" I said, "sir, I came here to act." He said, "is that so?" "Please stop acting now." - [laughing] - [clapping] "Write songs for now. You may act later." I started writing after that. Salman introduced me to Shahrukh Khan during the same time. He said, "he writes well

." At that time, Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar made a film, called 'Kaal'. 'Chaiyya Chaiyya' song was a rage. They wanted to shoot an item song for Shah Rukh Khan and Malaika Arora. Big lyricists were trying to write that song. My friend Soham Shah introduced me to Salim and Sulaiman. I wrote the lyrics for the song. They said, "Until the song is released, please don't reveal this. Otherwise, they'd change the lyricist." They made a bet that the song would be written either by Javed Akhtar or G

ulzar. - As 'Chaiyya Chaiyya' was already a hit. - Alright. - The song was 'Tauba tauba ishq main kariya'. - Oh, my! I didn't reveal my identity until the song was released. I was doubtful - that they could change me. - As you were new, they didn't trust you. - Yes. - Wow! The biggest contribution was by Sajid-Wajid and Nadeem. He is sitting with us. Also, Ashok. They supported new talent. So I give them the credit. Wow! Please give a big round of applause to our guests. Thank you! Sir, please c

ome. - [drums beating] - [cheering] Guests, please give a big hand to our audience! Keep smiling and laughing and watch us on Sony TV every Saturday and Sunday. Good night! Goodbye! Thank you! [clapping]
