"A fjord is formed when a glacier cuts a U-shaped valley by ice segregation and abrasion of the surrounding bedrock." [Wikipedia]
Gulzar’s “Golmaal Hai
Sub Golmaal Hai!”
Translated from the
Urdu by Manfred Spencer Alverston & Associates.
All is equivocal. Hey! All is evasively messy.
All is equivocal. Hey! All is evasively messy.
Upon every pathway toward decency, there is a crooked and
customary snare.
All is equivocal. Hey! All is an evasive mess.
All is equivocal. Hey! All is an evasive mess.
“If you hunger bread, then earn money!” [and so the rogues, bafflingly
appointed, never popularly elected, protest]
But in order to earn money, there are expenses to be
incurred in the process itself.
“If you cannot beseech and applaud us for our capital, then
go sweat for it yourself!” [hail the rogues]
Just as sweat settles, necessitating a handkerchief!
Hey? All is equivocal. All is an evasive mess.
Upon every pathway toward decency, there is a crooked and
customary snare.
Despite the shirt off one’s back enabling one to make a
handkerchief by tearing it up,
You will inevitably remain in need of fabric—to make another
shirt, of course!
Even if you manage to amass fabric that is a write-off
donation,
In a case as such, you will still be in need of a
clothier—to get that fabric from handout to made-to-measure shirt.
Hey? All is equivocal. All is evasively messy.
Subsequent to not being charged for amassing its fabric, you
need to pay for its stitching in order to avail yourself of another shirt!
All is equivocal. Hey! All is evasively messy.
All is equivocal. Hey! All is evasively messy.
Upon every pathway toward decency, there is a crooked and
customary snare.
All is equivocal. Hey! All is an evasive mess.
All is equivocal. Hey! All is an evasive mess.
In the end, you’ll still be in need of money! Hey?

Sub Golmaal Hai!”
