Eating at McDonalds is Kaafir
Brother Darwin’s Monkey is Kaafir!
McDonalds ka Burger Kaafir; Darwin ka Bandar bhi Kaafir from Tarek Fatah on Vimeo.
English translation of a selected verses:
! am a Kaafir (infidel), you are Kaafir.
The fragrance of these flowers is Kaafir.
The magic of words is also Kaafir,
This is Kaafir, that is Kaafir.
Faiz was Kaafir, as was Manto Kaafir,
The singing of Noor Jahan too was Kaafir.
Eating at McDonalds is Kaafir.
Burger is Kaafir as is drinking Coke Kaafir.
Laughter is heresy,
Cracking jokes is Kaafir.
The Tabla is Kaafir, so is the Dhol Kaafir
As are two words spoken in love, Kaafir.
[…]
My son’s school bag is Kaafir,
Daughter’s dolls are also Kaafir.
To cry or laugh is trading in Kuffar,
If Sadness is Kaafir, is happiness Kaafir too?
Jeans are Kaafir, the Guitar is Kaafir,
Wearing one’s shalwar below the ankles is also Kaafir.
Universities are Kaafir,
Brother Darwin’s monkey is Kaafir.
! am a Kaafir, you are Kaafir.
