rotiyaan

jab aadamii ke pet men aatii hain rotiyaan

phuulii nahiin badan men samaaatii hain rotiyaan

aankhen pariiruKhon se ladaatii hain rotiyaan

siine uupar bhii haath chalaatii hain rotiyaan

jitane maze hain sab ye dikhaatii hain rotiyaan

rotii se jis kaa naak talak pet hai bharaa

karataa phire hai kyaa vo uchhal kuud jaa ba jaa

diivaar phaand kar koii kothaa uchhal gayaa

thaaththa hansii sharaab sanam saaqii is sivaa

sau sau tarah kii dhuum machaatii hain rotiyaan

jis jaa pe haandii chuulhaa tavaa aur tanuur hai

Khaaliq ke qudaraton kaa usii jaa zahuur hai

chuulhe ke aage aanch jo jalatii hazuur hai

jitane hain nuur sab men yahii Khaas nuur hai

is nuur ke sabab nazar aatii hain rotiyaan

aave tave tanuur kaa jis jaa zabaan pe naam

yaa chakkii chuulhe kaa jahaan gulzaar ho tamaam

vaan sar jhukaa ke kiijiye dandavat aur salaam

is vaaste ke Khaas ye rotii ke hain muqaam

pahale inhiin makaanon men aatii hain rotiyaan

in rotiyon ke nuur se sab dil hain puur puur

aataa nahiin hai chhalanii se chhan chhan gire hai nuur

pedaa har ek us kaa hai barfii-o-motii chuur

hargiz kisii tarah na bujhe pet kaa tanuur

is aag ko magar ye bujhaatii hain rotiyaan

puuchhaa kisii ne ye kisii kaamil faqiir se

ye mehr-o-maah haq ne banaaye hain kaahe ke

jitane hain kashf sab ye dikhaatii hain rotiyaan

rotii jab aaii pet men sau qand ghul gaye

gulzaar phuule aankhon men aur aish tul gaye

do tar nivaale pet men jab aa ke dhul gaye

chaudaa tabaq ke jitane the sab bhed khul gaye

ye kashf ye kamaal dikhaatii hain rotiyaan

rotii na pet men ho to phir kuchh jatan na ho

mele kii sair Khvaahish-e-baag-o-chaman na ho

bhuuke gariib dil kii Khudaa se lagan na ho

sach hai kahaa kisii ne ke bhuuke bhajan na ho

allaah kii bhii yaad dilaatii hain rotiyaan

ab jin ke aage maalpuye bhar ke thaal hain

puurii bhagat unhiin kii vo saahab ke laal hain

aur jin ke aage rauganii aur shiirmaal hai

aarif vohii hain aur vohii saahab kamaal hain

pakii pakaaii ab jinhen aatii hain rotiyaan

kapade kisii ke laal hain rotii ke vaaste

lambe kisii ke baal hain rotii ke vaaste

baandhe koii rumaal hai rotii ke vaaste

jitane hain ruup sab ye dikhaatii hain rotiyaan

rotii se naache piyaadaa qavaayad dikhaa dikhaa

asavaar naache ghode ko kaavaa lagaa lagaa

ghungharuu ko baandhe paik bhii phirataa hai naachataa

aur is ke sivaa gaur se dekho to jaa ba jaa

sau sau tarah ke naach dikhaatii hain rotiyaan

duniyaa men ab badii na kahiin aur nikoii hai
