कन्हाई का पक्षी 2

kanhaee ka pakshi

lila-darshan

‘ap ise chho doge to u d jayaga.’ pakshi vale ne kanhaee ki or dekhakar kaha. shyan ne daoo dada ke kar par pakshi baitha diya hai aur svayan usake pair ki rajju kholane laga hai. balak sab kanhaee ko ghere kh de haian.
‘nahian bhagooanga!’ pakshi hi bola - ‘ye baandhe rahean to aur khol dean to, maian inake pas hi rahooanga. kiyoan ke bandhan mean pata nahian kab se hooan. ab ye baandhe rahean to mujhe sukh hi hai.’
‘nahian, baandhooanga nahian tujhe.’ kanhaee ne kaha. krishn ka svabhav baandhana nahian hai. yah bandhan kholata hi hai - ‘too roti khayaga?’
‘yah keval phal khata hai.’ pakshi vale ne batalaya. ‘khaooanga, tum jo khilao vahi khaooanga.’ pakshi ne pakshi vale ko daant diya - ‘ab tum chup raho. jao! maian inaka pakshi hooan.’
pakshi rajju khulate hi daoo ke kar par se u d kar shyam ke vam skandh par baith gaya. tok dau dakar roti ka tuk da laya to usake hath par baithakar nanhian choanch se tanik-tanik roti khane laga.
‘maiya tere liye svarn pianjara lataka degi. rat mean usamean so jana aur din mean mere sath van mean chalana.’ kanhaee pakshi pakar usi mean tallin hai - ‘van mean bahut phal haian - khoob madhur phal. too bachcha dega?’
‘bachcha!’ pakshi chauanka - ‘vah to meri chiraiya anda deti hai. usamean bachcha nikalata hai, bahut door himalay mean kahian hogi?’
‘too usako bula la!’ kanhaee ne kah diya - ‘ham usako bhi roti deange, phal deange.’
‘maian jaooan?’ pakshi ka svar udas laga - ‘marg mean pata nahian kitane vyadh jal bichhayeange. pata nahian kitane lak diyoan mean goand lagakar mujhe pak dane ki ghat lagayeange. tum mera dhyan rakhoge? maian tumhara hooan.’
‘haan, rakhooanga!’ kanhaee ke netr bhi gambhir ho gaye - ‘too ja! apani chiraiya ko bula la.’
pakshi ne pankh phailaye, phir samet liye. phir phailaye, phir samet liye. barambar pankh phailata-sametata raha. usaka ji yahaan se u dakar kahian anyatr jane ka nahian; kiantu in vraj rajakumar ka adesh - ise tala bhi to nahian ja sakata.
pakshi u da - bahut der tak vahian phurr-phurr u data raha. daoo, kanhaee, bhadr - sabhi balakoan ke, baba ke, gopoan ke siroan ke pas u data raha. b di der mean vah oopar utha aur gagan mean jakar sidhe uttar u d chala. use koee phansa payega. vah kanhaee ka pakshi hai. kanooan to usake adrishy hone par bhi usi disha mean dekh raha hai.
