A video went viral on social media in which the parody of Suroor Barabankvi’s poem ‘Ham to shayar hain ham sach nahi boltey’ was recited. It is a beautiful satire depicting the journalists of today, who do not speak truth due to fear of persons in power. They are opportunists, who are ready to sell their words in the market of falsehood. When the public is eager to know the truth, they seal their lips. The parody goes thus: Ham sahafi hain ham sach nahi boltey Jane jaan sach pe kyun itna israr hai Sach ki azmat se kab ham ko inkaar hai Ham sahafi hain aakhir usi qaum ke Jiska har fard bikne pe tayyar hai Ham hain lafzaun ke taajir ye bazaar hai Sach to ye hai guzartey huwe waqt se Faeda jo uthale wo fankar hai Ham na Suqrat hain ham na Mansoor hain Ham se sach ki tawaqqo hi bekaar hai Tez talwaar se, waqt ki dhaar hai Isliye jaane jaan apni tahreer se, quafe tazeer se Sachche moti kabhi ham nahi rooltey Ham sahafi hain ham sach nahi boltey Fasl aati hai jab hifz-e-pindaar ki Sach ke izhaar ki Ham haqaeq se nazrein churaye huwe Maslihat ka janaza uthaye huwe Sar jhukaye huwe Laut jaate hain maazi ke sahraaun me Baith kar gham-e-zaat ki chhaun me Sochtey bhi nahi, bolte bhi nahi Sehme sehme huwe log milte hon jab Har taraf qauf ke phool khiltey hon jab Jaane jaan kam se kam aisey mausam me ham Harf-e-haq to kuja, lab nahi kholtey Ham sahafi hain ham sach nahi boltey
