Seller Poem by Sayeed Abubakar

Seller

Rating: 5.0


Illiterate and impious is he
Who lives on selling nut;
And his brother runs his family
By selling Jhal-Muri*.

But you, o the bull of religion,
Live on selling religion.
But you hope they will go to hell
And you will be rewarded
with the big blue-eyed hoor al-Ayn of paradise.



*one kind of Bengali food made of chilly and cereal of rice patched on hot sand
