Bade pankh wala pakshi

Dheeme dheeme thami jheel ki bhanti bas thoda  thoda kabhi kabhi  jhoom rahi thi,
Khud hi lehron ko chadati aur utarti
Dhakan hai baaki abhi yeh jatati
Us ek bade pankh wale pakshi ka intezaar kar rahi thi

Wo bade pankh wala pakshi jo lambi udaan bharta tha
Har mausam man chahe mausam ke aakash tale udata tha
Main jab tak ek chotte se naale se badi hokar jheel bani aur phir
Jharna banane ka jhokhim uthaya
Kai rituein beet gayi uske baad se wo nahi aaya

Mere ko bhi apna aakash badlna tha
Mere ko bhi “tez” behna tha!!
Bade pankh wale pakshi se raasta pooch
Ek bhavaya baadal ke neeche se “tez” gati se guzarna tha!!
Mujhe badi nadi bannana tha!!!
