Salman Khan has turned a lyricist with the song ‘Selfish’ for his upcoming film RACE 3. By the way, writing is in Salman Khan’s blood as his father Salim is a legendary screen writer. Sung by Atif Aslam and actress Iulia Vantur, ‘Selfish’ composed by Vishal Mishra is no way an ordinary song. The song is a motivation and inspiration that echoes the ethos of the popular dance show ABCD (Anybody Can Dance) with ‘Selfish’ I can easily say ACW (Anybody Can Write). Motivated by ‘Bhaijaan’ Salman Khan’s ‘Selfish’, I inaugurate my poetry ki dukaan in honour of the unbeatable Salman Khan.
Mulahiza farmaye (May I Please draw your attention)
After the belt now you make the pen move on its own
Bhai, there is no threat to your throne
Damn the world who talks of art, cinema and creativity dying its death alone
Boss, you will always have figures to be shown
There may be no flair of writings or any poetic glory in your ‘Selfish’ story
But bro, you remain the darling of crores of choras and choris
Who never mind enjoying the chutney without phullori (pakodas)
And make you walk with all the milk in your katori
Bhai, you are phenomena
Always made a comeback in light, dark and rain
And tested millions of intellectuals brain
While your lovers feel no pain
The rest of the world keeps debating on your controversies and fight to figure out who to blame
They troll you for your ‘Selfish’ mottos
But you continue to walk on the hall of fame
There is no ‘Race’ in your case
Be it Race 3, 4 or 5
You will be remain an example of unabashed stardom till Bollywood is alive
