jaadoo kaa kaaleen

neehaarikaa agravaal

ravivaar kaa din thaa. rohit subah uth kar apane bageeche men gayaa. vahaan lon men use ek sundar kaaleen dikhaa. use lagaa, yah jaadoo kaa kaaleen hai. udne vaalaa kaaleen. aakaash kee pariyon se neeche gir gayaa hogaa. usane apanee bahan sonaalee ko bulaa kar kaaleen dikhaayaa. jaadoo kaa sundar kaaleen dekh kar sonaalee bhee bahut khush huee. vah bolee, “bhaiyaa! is par baithakar ham aakaash kee sair karen. bahut majaa aaegaa.”

rohit kee bhee aakaash men udne kee bahut ichchhaa thee. donon bhaaee-bahan kaaleen par baith gae. ek chidiyaa to pahale se hee kaaleen par baithee thee. sonaalee ne aise kaaleen kee ek kahaanee sun rakhee thee. vah bolee, “chal kaaleen, chhod jmeen!”

usake itanaa kahate hee kaaleen oopar uthane lagaa. kaaleen ko oopar uthataa dekh unakaa kuttaa motee bhee chhalaang lagaa kar us par chadh gayaa. vriksh kee daal par baithe romee bndar ne kaaleen ko aakaash kee or jaate dekhaa. usakee ichchhaa bhee aakaash men jaane kee huee. vah bhee turnt kaaleen par chadhne ke lie koodaa. parntu tab tak der ho chukee thee. vah mushkil se kaaleen kaa chhor pakad kar usake saath latak sakaa.

dheere-dheere kaaleen oopar ko udtaa gayaa. parvat, pakshee sab neeche chhoot gae. kaaleen baadalon se bhee oopar chalaa gayaa. rohit ne jhuk kar neeche kee or dekhaa. use pahaad chhote-chhote lage. khet yoon lage maano kisee ne dharatee ko hare rng men rng diyaa ho. sabhee ko thndee-thndee havaa men itanaa oonchaa udnaa bahut achchhaa lag rahaa thaa.

thodee der men sooraj nikal aayaa. garamee badhne lagee to sabhee pareshaan ho gae. sabhee ne neeche utaranaa chaahaa. tab sonaalee bolee, “chal mere kaaleen, jaldee chhoo le jmeen!”

kuchh hee kshanon men kaaleen jmeen par utar aayaa. sabhee aakaash kee sair kar bahut khush the.

chhataree kee yaatraa-2

devadaar se baat kar chhatariyaan aage kee or udne lageen. achaanak unhen tadaak-tadaak kee aavaaj sunaaee dee. baat yah thee ki soyaabeen kee falee chatakee thee. soyaabeen kaa bachchaa falee se baahar koodaa.

baahar koodate hee bachchaa jameen par gir padaa aur so gayaa. jab vah jaagaa to usamen se ankur nikalaa.

chhatariyaan aage kee or udtee raheen. ek chhataree to bahut aage nikal gaee. jab vah taalaab ke saamane se gujaree to dekhaa– kamal par ek favvaare jaisaa fal lagaa huaa hai aur usamen bahut saare beej bhee hain.

fir ‘gadp’ karake kamal kaa fal paanee men gir gayaa. kamal ne chhataree ko bataayaa, “dheere-dheere isakaa chhilakaa sad jaayegaa. fir beej paanee kee satah par tairate hue door chale jaayenge.

der tak safar karane ke baad chhataree thak gaee. vah ek maidaan men utaree aur aaraam karane lagee.

havaa chalatee rahee aur usane ‘chhataree’ ko mittee kee chaadar odhaa dee. sooraj use dhoop se senk detaa rahaa. baadal use paanee pilaataa rahaa. kuchh dinon baad chhataree jaagee aur usane apanaa sir mittee se baahar nikaalaa. dheere-dheere usamen se pattiyaan nikal aaeen aur vah kakaraundhe kaa paudhaa ban gaee.

kakaraundhe ke paudhe ne apanee aankh kholee to dekhaa ki usake paas ek gokharoo kaa paudhaa ugaa huaa hai. kakaraundhe ne poochhaa, “gokharoo bhaaee, aap yahaan kis tarah aae?”

gokharoo ne muskaraate hue kahaa, “ jab tum udeen to main bahut udaas ho gayaa. usee samay ek hiran daudtaa huaa vahaan se gujaraa. main usake shareer se chipak gayaa aur usake saath-saath yaatraa karane lagaa. yahaan aakar usane apane shareer ko khujalaayaa aur mujhe giraa diyaa.”

kakaraundhe ke paudhe ne khushee se hnsate hue kahaa, “vaah! vaah! kitanee dilachasp baat hai ki aap hiran par savaar hokar yaatraa karate ho.”

ve achchhe dost hain. ab ve ek hee jagah rahate hain aur bahut khush hain.
