A Qit’ah by Mirza Ashraf

 

ہارس ٹریڈنگ کی ٹریڈ میں اشرف
horse-trading ki trade mein Ashraf
ہیں خرید و فروخت میں تو گدھے
hain khreed-o-frokht mein to gadhay
نام  لے  لے  کے اسپِ  تازی  کا
naam lay lay ke aesp-e-taazi ka
بِکتے ہیں ہارس ریٹ پر یہ گدھے

Biktay hain horse-rate per yeh gadhay

  1. MIRZA ASHRAF: Reflection on Horse-Trading in Politics.

    Generally Horse Trading is the buying and selling of horses, also called “Horse Dealing”. Due to the difficulties in evaluating the merits of a horse offered for sale, the selling of horses offered great opportunities for dishonesty. It was expected that horse sellers would capitalize on these opportunities and so those who dealt in horses gained a reputation for underhand business practices. Lying became a business practice in horse trading and dealing. If the lying were stopped by law, the business of horse trading would come to an end. In a further development of meaning, horse trading has come to refer specifically to political vote trading. This is now the most common sense of the term, largely displacing the older term, logrolling. (Source–Wikipedia).
