Ek Tha Bhalu

-
Ek thaa bhalu,
Khaata thaa sirf aalu
Kisi ki parwah na karta,
Na koi dost,na koi ghar thaa
Achanak aalu pad gaye bimaar,
Gayab ho gaye saare hazar ke hazar
Bhukha besahara firta raha voh bechara,
Par kahin bhi na mila koi sahara
Thak haar kar baitha voh ek ped ke niche,
Sir pe kuch laga aur gira uske piche
Dekha toh tha voh ek golmatol aalu,
Usey dekh pagla gaya voh bhalu
Aalu ki taraf haath badaya,
Achanak ek panchi udta aaya
Le gaya voh us aalu ko,
Dekhta reh gaya bhalu us zabaz ko.
Upar dekha toh bhul gaya voh sitare,
Dakh liya tha suraj the voh itne saare.
Itne panchi usne kabhi na dekhe the,
Sabke paas the aalu aur kaafi bade the
Usne socha inke saath chala toh shayad kuch mil jaye,
Murjhaye hue armaan shayad fir se khil jaye.
Bas nikal pada voh unke saath udne ke liye,
Par Paron mein jaan nahi thi  chalne ke liye.
Sir par gira fir ek aalu,
Is baar jhat se kha gaya usko bhalu.
Aalu ki bunda-bandi ke sahare chalta gaya,
Barsaat mein,tufaan mein voh badhta gaya.
Jab bhi himaat harta,
Koi na koi aalu sir pe de marta.
Fir saamne bada samander aa gaya,
Ab kya karun?, voh ghabra gaya.
Panchi aage nikal rahe thee,
Jeene ke maksad khatm ho rahe thee.
Bhalu ne fir aakal ladai aur ek naav banai,
Naav mein baitha voh chal pada,
Par samander tha bahut bada.
Chala jar raha tha voh un panchiyon ke piche,
Tabhie ek aalu gira aur kar gaya ched seedhe.
Lag gaya paani bharne,
Bhalu lag gaya darne.
Tabhi aalu gira sir pe ,

ho gaya behosh naav pe.

Mitra: What do you mean, why. I have to just go. Varuna: I’ve told you many times before whenever one of your friends get sick we cannot take them to Ashwins, why don’t you take them to human doctors? Mitra: they are really sick brother, I can not risk their lives and they do not have money to pay them. Varuna: I don’t kno
