KARACHI: Leading singer Ali Zafar posted a video on social media showing a teacher checking the Karachi Board Class 11 paper, in which the child wrote songs and gibberish instead of answering the questions.
In nearly one and half minute video, a paper marking staff member pointed out the Physics paper, recorded the gibberish answer, and shared the video online.
یہ وائرل وڈیو وٹسُ ایپ میں موسول ہوئی۔ میری طالب علموں سے التجا ہے کہ میرے گیتوں میں physics نہ تلاش کریں اگرچہ دیکھا جائے تو physics تو اس گانے کے اشعار سمیت ہر جگہ ہی موجود ہے۔ لیکن پھر پڑھائ کے وقت پڑھائی اور اساتذہ کا احترام کریں۔ ???? pic.twitter.com/vjl4Mbo5Pw

When asked why the central fringe in Newton’s rings is dark, an unidentified candidate answered the tricky question with his poetic approach.
“Bara Khatarnak paper diya hai, Qasam sai dil dukhta hai,” he first wrote and then put lyrics of Ali Zafar’s song Jhoom, that recently created waves after 11 years of its release.
“Meri Jan maine tujhe dekha hastay huae gallon mai, Baybus Khayalon mai, Nadiyon mai Naalon mai…” he wrote in answer, and covered at least two pages of the answer sheets to deceive paper checking staff – an old cliché used by low academic achievers.
The daring candidate also clarified his stance behind the move, confessing to sleep during the lectures, and told the paper checker to ‘Leave him alone’.
Before concluding his legendary answer, he also rebuked Isaac Newton for trapping students with concepts not so easy to understand and urged the checker to give him grace marks.
Ali Zafar, while sharing the video, also wrote a message saying, ‘This viral video was received on WhatsApp, I request my students not to find physics in my songs, even though physics is everywhere, including the lyrics of this song. It exists, but then respect the teaching and the teachers while studying.’
