paDosi ki bakri ne
phir ghar mein ghus kar
koi chiz kha li
biwi ne sar pe qayamat uTha li
munne ko
rone mein jaise maza aa raha hai
barabar wo roe chala ja raha hai
faqir ab bhi chaukhaT se chipka hua hai
wahi roz wali dua de raha hai
roTi ke jalne ki bu
aur amman ki chiKHon se
ghar bhar gaya hai
pinjre mein chakraate miTThu ki aawaz
'roTi do
bi-bi ji roTi do'
is shor mein kho gai hai
roTi tawe par bhasam ho gai hai
Nazm
RoTi
Mohammad Alvi
