baboo brajanath qanoon padhane mean magn the, aur unake donoan bachche l daee karane mean. shyama chillati, ki munnoo meri gu diya nahian deta. munnoo rota tha ki shyama ne meri mithaee kha li.

brajanath ne kruddh ho kar bhama se kaha-tum in dushtoan ko yahaan se hatati ho ki nahian ? nahian to maian ek-ek ki khabar leta hooan.

bhama choolhe mean ag jala rahi thi, boli-are to ab kya sandhya ko bhi padhate hi rahoge ? jara dam to le lo.

braj.-utha to n jayega; baithi-baithi vahian se qanoon bagharogi. abhi ek-adh ko patak dooanga, to vahian se garajati huee aogi ki hay-hay bachche ko mar dala !

bhama-to maian kuchh baithi ya soyi to nahian hooan. jara ek gh di tumhian l dakoan ko bahalaoge, to kya hoga ! kuchh maianne hi to unaki naukari nahian likhayi !

brajanath se koee javab n dete ban p da. krodh pani ke saman bahav ka marg n pa kar aur bhi prabal ho jata hai. yadyapi brajanath naitik siddhaantoan ke jnata the, par unake palan mean is samay kushal n dikhayi di. muddee aur muddaleh, donoan ko ek hi lathi haanka, aur donoan ko rote-chillate chho d qanoon ka granth bagal mean daba kalej-park ki rah li.

savan ka mahina tha. aj kee din ke bad badal hate the. hare-bhare vriksh sunahari chadar odhe kh de the. mridu samir savan ka rag gata tha aur bagule daliyoan par baithe hiandole jhool rahe the. brajanath ek beanch par a baithe aur kitab kholi. lekin is granth ki apeksha prakriti-granth ka avalokan adhik chittakarshak tha. kabhi asaman ko padhate the, kabhi pattiyoan ko, kabhi chhavimayi hariyali ko aur kabhi samane maidan mean khelate hue l dakoan ko.

ekaek unhean samane ghas par kagaz ki ek pu diya dikhayi di. maya ne jijnasa ki-a d mean chalo, dekhean isamean kya hai.

buddhi ne kaha-tumase matalab ? p di rahane do.

lekin jijnasa-roopi maya ki jit huee. brajanath ne uth kar pu diya utha li. kadachith kisi ke paise pu diya mean lipate gir p de haian. khol kar dekha; savaren the. gina, poore ath nikale. kutoohal ki sima n rahi.

brajanath ki chhati dh dakane lagi. athoan savaren hath mean liye sochane lage, inhean kya karooan ? agar yahian rakh dooan, to n jane kisaki najar p de; n maloom kaun utha le jay ! nahian, yahaan rakhana uchit nahian. chalooan thane mean ittala kar dooan aur ye savaren thanedar ko sauanp dooan. jisake hoange vah ap le jayaga ya agar usako n bhi milean, to mujh par koee dosh n rahega, maian to apane uttaradayitv se mukt ho jaooanga.

maya ne parade ki a d se mantr marana shuroo kiya. vah thane nahian gaye, socha-chalooan, bhama se ek dillagi karooan. bhojan taiyar hoga. kal itminan se thane jaooanga.

bhama ne savaren dekhe, to hriday mean ek gudagudi-si huee. poochha-kisaki hai ?

braj.-meri.

bhama-chalo, kahian ho n !

braj.-p di mili hai.

bhama-jhooth bat. aise hi bhagy ke bali ho, to sach batao kahaan mili ? kisaki hai ?

braj.-sach kahata hooan, p di mili hai.

bhama-meri kasam ?

braj.-tumhari kasam.

bhama ginniyoan ko pati ke hath se chhinane ki cheshta karane lagi.

brajanath ne kaha-kyoan chhinati ho ?

bhama-lao, maian apane pas rakh looan ?

braj.- rahane do, maian isaki ittala karane thane jata hooan.

bhama ka mukh malin ho gaya. boli-p de hue dhan ki kya ittala ?

braj.-haan, aur kya, in ath ginniyoan ke lie eeman biga dooanga ?

bhama-achchha to sabere chale jana. is samay jaoge, to ane mean der hogi.

brajanath ne bhi socha, yahi achchha. thanevale rat ko to koee karravaee kareange nahian. jab asharphiyoan ko p da hi rahana hai, tab jaise thana vaise mera ghar.

ginniyaan sandook mean rakh dian. kha-pi kar lete, to bhama ne hans kar kaha-aya dhan kyoan chho date ho ? lao, maian apane lie ek gulooband banava looan, bahut dinoan se ji taras raha hai.

maya ne is samay hasy ka roop dharan kiya.

brajanath ne tiraskar karake kaha-gulooband ki lalasa mean gale mean phaansi lagana chahati ho kya ?

pratahkal brajanath thane ke lie taiyar hue. qanoon ka ek lekchar chhoot jayega, koee haraj nahian. vah ilahabad ke haeekort mean anuvadak the. naukari mean unnati ki asha n dekh kar sal bhar se vakalat ki taiyari mean magn the, lekin abhi kap de pahan hi rahe the ki unake ek mitr muanshi gorelal a kar baith gaye, aur apani parivarik dushchiantaoan ki ramakahani suna kar atyant vinit bhav se bole-bhaee sahab, is samay maian in jhanjhatoan mean aisa phans gaya hooan ki buddhi kuchh kam nahian karati. tum b de adami ho. is samay kuchh sahayata karo. zyada nahian tis rupaye de do. kisi n kisi tarah kam chala looanga, aj tis tarikh hai. kal sham ko tumhean rupaye mil jayeange.

brajanath b de adami to n the; kintu b dappan ki hava baandh rakhi thi. yah mithyabhiman unake svabhav ki ek durbalata thi. keval apane vaibhav ka prabhav dalane ke lie hi vah bahudha mitroan ki chhoti-moti avashyakataoan par apani vastavik avashyakataoan ko nichhavar kar diya karate the, lekin bhama ko is vishay mean unase sahanubhooti n thi; isilie jab brajanath par is prakar ka sankat a p data tha, tab tho di der ke lie unaki parivarik shaanti avashy nasht ho jati thi. unamean inakar karane ya talane ki himmat n thi.

vah sakuchate hue bhama ke pas gaye aur bole-tumhare pas tis rupaye to n hoange ? muanshi gorelal maang rahe haian.

bhama ne rukhaee se kaha-mere pas to rupaye nahian.

braj.-hoange to zaroor, bahana karati ho.

bhama-achchha, bahana hi sahi.

braj.-to maian unase kya kah dooan.

bhama-kah do ghar mean rupaye nahian haian, tumase n kahate bane, to maian parde ki a d se kah dooan.

braj.-kahane ko to maian kah dooan, lekin unhean vishvas n ayega. samajheange, bahana kar rahe haian.

bhama-samajheange to samajha karean.

braj.-mujhase aisi bemurauvati nahian ho sakati. rat-din ka sath thahara, kaise inakar karooan ?

bhama-achchha, to jo man mean ave, so karo. maian ek bar kah chuki, mere pas rupaye nahian.

brajanath man mean bahut khinn hue. unhean vishvas tha ki bhama ke pas rupaye haian. lekin keval mujhe lajjit karane ke lie inakar kar rahi hai. duragrah ne sankalp ko dridh kar diya. sandook se do ginniyaan nikalian aur gorelal ko de kar bole-bhaee, kal sham ko kachahari se ate hi rupaye de jana. ye ek adami ki amanat hai, maian isi samay dene ja raha tha-yadi kal rupaye n pahuanche to mujhe bahut lajjit hona p dega; kahian muanh dikhane yogy n rahooanga.

gorelal ne man mean kaha-amanat stri ke siva aur kisaki hogi, aur ginniyaan jeb mean rakh kar ghar ki rah li.

aj pahali tarikh ki sandhya hai. brajanath daravaze par baithe gorelal ka iantazar kar rahe haian.

paanch baj gaye gorelal abhi tak nahian aye. brajanath ki aankhean raste ki taraph lagi huee thian. hath mean ek patr tha; lekin padhane mean ji nahian lagata tha. har tisare minat raste ki or dekhane lagate the. lekin sochate the-aj vetan milane ka din hai. isi karan ane mean der ho rahi hai. ate hi hoange. chhah baje gorelal ka pata nahian. kachahari ke karmachari ek-ek karake chale a rahe the. brajanath ko kee bar dhokha hua. vah a rahe haian. zaroor vahi haian. vaisi hi achakan hai. vaisi hi topi hai. chal bhi vahi hai. haan, vahi haian, isi taraph a rahe haian. apane hriday se ek bojha-sa utarata maloom hua; lekin nikat ane par jnat hua ki koee aur hai. asha ki kalpit moorti durasha mean badal gayi.

brajanath ka chitt khinn hone laga. vah ek bar kurasi se uthe. baramade ki chaukhat par kh de ho, s dak par donoan taraph nigah dau dayi. kahian pata nahian. do-tin bar door se ate hue ikkoan ko dekh kar gorelal ko bhram hua. akaanksha ki prabalata !

sat baje; chirag jal gaye. s dak par aandhera chhane laga. brajanath s dak par udvign bhav se tahalane lage. irada hua, gorelal ke ghar chalooan. udhar qadam badhaya; lekin hriday kaanp raha tha ki kahian vah raste mean ate hue n mil jayan, to samajhean ki tho de-se rupayoan ke lie itane vyakul ho gaye. tho di hi door gaye ki kisi ko ate dekha. bhram hua, gorelal haian, mu de aur sidhe baramade mean a kar dam liya, lekin phir vahi dhokha. phir vahi bhraanti. tab sochane lage ki itani der kyoan ho rahi hai ? kya abhi tak vah kachahari se n aye hoange ! aisa kadapi nahian ho sakata. unake daftaravale muddat huee, nikal gaye. bas do batean ho sakati haian, ya to unhoanne kal ane ka nishchay kar liya, samajhe hoange, rat ko kaun jay, ya jan-boojh kar baithe hoange, dena n chahate hoange, us samay unako garaj thi, is samay mujhe garaj hai. maian hi kisi ko kyoan n bhej dooan ? lekin kise bhejooan ? munnoo ja sakata hai. s dak hi par makan hai. yah soch kar kamare mean gaye, laianp jalaya aur patr likhane baithe, magar aankhean dvar hi ki or lagi huee thian. akasmath kisi ke pairoan ki ahat sunaee di. parantu patr ko ek kitab ke niche daba liya aur baramade mean chale aye. dekha, p dos ka ek kuanj da tar padhane aya hai. usase bole-bhaee, is samay phurasat nahian hai; tho di der mean ana. usane kaha-baboo ji, ghar bhar ke adami ghabaraye haian, jara ek nigah dekh lijie. nidan brajanath ne jhuanjhala kar usake hath se tar le liya, aur sarasari najar se dekh kar bole-kalakatte se aya hai. mal nahian pahuancha. kuanj de ne darate-darate kaha-babooji itana aur dekh lijie, kisane bheja hai. is par brajanath ne tar pheank diya aur bole-mujhe is vakt phurasat nahian hai.

ath baj gaye. brajanath ko nirasha hone lagi-munnoo itani rat bite nahian ja sakata. man mean nishchay kiya, aj hi jana chahie, bala se bura maneange. isaki kahaan tak chianta karooan. spasht kah dooanga mere rupaye do do. bhalamanasi bhalemanasoan se nibhaee ja sakati hai. aise dhoortoan ke sath bhalamanasi ka vyavahar karana moorkhata hai. achakan pahani; ghar mean ja kar bhama se kaha-jara ek kam se bahar jata hooan, kiva dean band kar lo.

chalane ko to chale; lekin pag-pag par rukate jate the. gorelal ka ghar door se dikhayi diya; laianp jal raha tha. thithak gaye aur sochane lage chal kar kya kahooanga ? kahian unhoanne jate-jate rupaye nikal kar de diye, aur der ke lie kshama maangi to mujhe b di jheanp hogi. vah mujhe kshudr, ochha, dhairyahin samajheange. nahian, rupayoan ki batachit karooan hi kyoan ? kahooanga-bhaee ghar mean b di der se pet dard kar raha hai. tumhare pas purana tej siraka to nahian hai ! magar nahian, yah bahana kuchh bhadda-sa pratit hota hai. saf kalee khul jayegi. ooanh ! is jhanjhat ki zaroorat hi kya hai. vah mujhe dekh kar ap hi samajh jayeange. is vishay mean batachit ki kuchh naubat hi n avegi. brajanath isi udhe dabun mean age badhate chale jate the, jaise nadi mean laharean chahe kisi or chalean, dhara apana marg nahian chho dati.

gorelal ka ghar a gaya. dvar band tha. brajanath ko unhean pukarane ka sahas n hua, samajhe khana kha rahe hoange. daravaze ke samane se nikale, aur dhire-dhire tahalate hue ek mil tak chale gaye. nau bajane ki avaz kan mean ayi. gorelal bhojan kar chuke hoange, yah sochakar laut p de; lekin dvar par pahuanche, to aandhera tha. vah asha-roopi dipak bujh gaya tha. ek minat tak duvidha mean kh de rahe. kya karooan. abhi bahut sabera hai. itani jaldi tho de hi so gaye hoange ? dabe paanv baramade par chadhe. dvar par kan laga kar suna, charoan or tak rahe the ki kahian koee dekh n le. kuchh batachit ki bhanak kan mean p di. dhyan se suna. stri kah rahi thi-rupaye to sab uth gaye, brajanath ko kahaan se doge ? gorelal ne uttar diya-aisi kaun si utavali hai, phir de deange. aur darakhvast de di hai, kal manjoor ho hi jayegi. tin mahine ke bad lauteange tab dekha jayega.

brajanath ko aisa jan p da mano muanh par kisi ne tamacha mar diya.

krodh aur nairashy se bhare hue baramade se utar aye. ghar chale to sidhe qadam n p date the, jaise koee din-bhar ka thaka-maanda pathik ho.

brajanath rat-bhar karavatean badalate rahe. kabhi gorelal ki dhoortata par krodh ata tha, kabhi apani saralata par; maloom nahian, kis garib ke rupaye haian. us par kya biti hogi ! lekin ab krodh ya khed se kya labh ? sochane lage-rupaye kahaan se aveange ? bhama pahale hi inakar kar chuki hai, vetan mean itani guanjaish nahian. das-paananch rupaye ki bat hoti to katar-byoant karata. to kya karooan ? kisi se udhar looan. magar mujhe kaun dega. aj tak kisi se maangane ka sanyog nahian p da, aur apana koee aisa mitr hai bhi to nahian. jo log haian, mujhi ko sataya karate haian, mujhe kya deange. haan, yadi kuchh din qanoon chho d kar anuvad karane mean parishram karooan, to rupaye mil sakate haian. kam se kam ek mas ka kathin parishram hai. saste anuvadakoan ke mare dar bhi to gir gayi hai. ha nirdayi ! toone b di daga ki. n jane kis janm ka bair chukaya. kahian ka n rakha !

doosare din se brajanath ko rupayoan ki dhun savar huee. savere qanoon ke lekchar mean sammilit hote, sandhya ko kachahari se tajabijoan ka pulianda ghar late aur adhi rat tak baithe anuvad kiya karate. sir uthane ki muhalat n milati. kabhi ek-do bhi baj jate. jab mastishk bilakul shithil ho jata tab vivash hokar charapaee par p d rahate.

lekin itane parishram ka abhyas n hone ke karan kabhi-kabhi sir mean dard hone lagata. kabhi pachan-kriya mean vighn p d jata, kabhi jvar chadh ata. tis par bhi vah mashin ki tarah kam mean lage rahate. bhama kabhi-kabhi jhuanjhala kar kahati-aji, let bhi raho; b de dharmatma bane ho. tumhare jaise das-paanch adami aur hote, to sansar ka kam hi band ho jata. brajanath is badhakari vyangy ka uttar n dete, din nikalate hi phir vahi charakha le baithate.

yahaan tak ki tin saptah bit gaye aur pachis rupaye hath a gaye. brajanath sochate the-do-tin din mean be da par hai; lekin ikkisavean din unhean prachand jvar chadh aya aur tin din tak n utara. chhutti leni p di, shayyasevi ban gaye. bhadoan ka mahina tha. bhama ne samajha, pitt ka prakop hai. lekin jab ek saptah tak daktar ki aushadhi sevan karane par bhi jvar n utara tab ghabarayi. brajanath prayah jvar mean bak-jhak bhi karane lagate. bhama sun kar dar ke mare kamare mean se bhag jati. bachchoan ko pak d kar doosare kamare mean band kar deti. ab use shanka hone lagati thi ki kahian yah kasht unhian rupayoan ke karan to nahian bhogana p d raha hai ! kaun jane, rupayevale ne kuchh kar-dhar diya ho ! zaroor yahi bat hai, nahian to aushadhi se labh kyoan nahian hota ?

sankat p dane par ham dharm-bhiru ho jate haian, aushadhiyoan se nirash ho kar devataoan ki sharan lete haian. bhama ne bhi devataoan ki sharan li. vah janmashtami, shivaratri aur tij ke siva koee vrat n rakhati thi. is bar usane navaratra ka kathin vrat shuroo kiya.

ath din poore ho gaye. aantim din aya. prabhat ka samay tha. bhama ne brajanath ko dava pilayi aur donoan balakoan ko le kar durga ji ki pooja karane ke lie chali. usaka hriday aradhy devi ke prati shraddha se paripoorn tha. mandir ke aangan mean pahuanchi. upasak asanoan par baithe hue durgapath kar rahe the. dhoop aur agar ki sugandh u d rahi thi. usane mandir mean pravesh kiya. samane durga ki vishal pratima shobhayaman thi. usake mukharaviand par ek vilakshan dipti jhalak rahi thi. b de-b de ujjval netroan se prabha ki kiranean chhitak rahi thian. pavitrata ka ek samaan-sa chhaya hua tha. bhama is diptavarn moorti ke sammukh sidhi aankhoan se tak n saki. usake antahkaran mean ek nirmal, vishuddh bhavapoorn bhay ka uday ho aya. usane aankhean band kar lian. ghutanoan ke bal baith gayi, aur hath jo d kar karun svar se boli-mata, mujh par daya karo.

use aisa jnat hua, mano devi muskarayi. use un divy netroan se ek jyoti-si nikal kar apane hriday mean ati huee maloom huee. usake kanoan mean devi ke muanh se nikale ye shabd sunaee diye-paraya dhan lauta de, tera bhala hoga.

bhama uth baithi. usaki aankhoan mean nirmal bhakti ka abhas jhalak raha tha. mukhamandal se pavitr prem barasa p data tha. devi ne kadachith use apani prabha ke rang mean duba diya tha.

itane mean doosari ek stri ayi. usake ujjval kesh bikhare aur murajhaye hue chehare ke donoan or latak rahe the. sharir par keval ek shvet sa di thi. hath mean choo diyoan ke siva aur koee abhooshan n tha. shok aur nairashy ki sakshath moorti maloom hoti thi. usane bhi devi ke samane sir jhukaya aur donoan hathoan se aanchal phaila kar boli-devi, jisane mera dhan liya ho, usaka sarvanash karo.

jaise sitar mijarab ki chot kha kar tharathara uthata hai, usi prakar bhama ka hriday anisht ke bhay se tharathara utha. ye shabd tivr shar ke saman usake kaleje mean chubh gaye. usane devi ki or katar netroan se dekha. unaka jyotirmay svaroop bhayankar tha, netroan se bhishan jvala nikal rahi thi. bhama ke aantahkaran mean sarvatra-akash se, mandir ke samanevale vrikshoan se, mandir ke stanbhoan se, sianhasan ke oopar jalate hue dipak se aur devi ke vikaral muanh se ye shabd nikal kar gooanjane lage-paraya dhan lauta de, nahian to tera sarvanash ho jayega.

bhama kh di ho gayi aur us vriddha se boli-kyoan mata, tumhara dhan kisi ne le liya hai ?

vriddha ne is prakar usaki or dekha, mano doobate ko tinake ka sahara mila. boli-haan beti !

bhama-kitane din hue ?

vriddha-koee dedh mahina.

bhama-kitane rupaye the.

vriddha-poore ek sau bis.

bhama-kaise khoye ?

vriddha-kya jane kahian gir gaye. mere svami palatan mean naukar the. aj kee baras hue, vah paralok sidhare. ab mujhe sarakar se sath rupaye sal peanshan milati hai. abaki do sal ki peanshan ek sath hi mili thi. khazane se rupaye le kar a rahi thi. maloom nahian, kab aur kahaan gir p de. ath ginniyaan thian.

bhama-agar ve tumhean mil jayean to kya dogi.

vriddha-adhik nahian, usamean se pachas rupaye de dooangi.

bhama-rupaye kya hoange, koee usase achchhi chiz do.

vriddha-beti aur kya dooan, jab tak jiooangi, tumhara yash gaooangi.

bhama-nahian, isaki mujhe avashyakata nahian.

vriddha-beti, isake siva mere pas kya hai.

bhama-mujhe ashirvad do. mere pati bimar haian, vah achchhe ho jayan.

vriddha-kya unhian ko rupaye mile haian ?

bhama-haan, vah usi din se tumhean khoj rahe haian.

vriddha ghutanoan ke bal baith gayi, aur aanchal phaila kar kampit svar se boli-devi ! inaka kalyan karo.

bhama ne phir devi ki or sashank drishti se dekha. unake divy roop par prem ka prakash tha. aankhoan mean daya ki anandadayini jhalak thi. us samay bhama ke aantahkaran mean kahian svargalok se yah dhvani sunayi di-ja tera kalyan hoga.

sandhya ka samay hai. bhama brajanath ke sath ikke par baithi tulasi ke ghar, usaki thati lautane ja rahi hai. brajanath ke b de parishram ki kamayi to daktar ki bhanet ho chuki hai, lekin bhama ne ek p dosi ke hath apane kanoan ke jhumake bech kar rupaye jutaye haian. jis samay jhumake ban kar aye the, bhama bahut prasann huee thi. aj unhean bech kar vah usase bhi adhik prasann hai.

jab brajanath ne athoan ginniyaan use dikhayi thian, usake hriday mean ek gudagudi-si huee thi; lekin yah harsh mukh par ane ka sahas n kar saka tha. aj un ginniyoan ko hath se jate samay usaka hardik anand aankhoan mean chamak raha hai, oanthoan par nach raha hai, kapoloan ko rang raha hai, aur aangoan par kilol kar raha hai; vah iandriyoan ka anand tha, yah atma ka anand hai; vah anand lajja ke bhitar chhipa hua tha, yah anand garv se bahar nikala p data hai.

tulasi ka ashirvad saphal hua. aj poore tin saptah ke bad brajanath takiye ke sahare baithe the. vah bar-bar bhama ko premapoorn netroan se dekhate the. vah aj unhean devi maloom hoti thi. ab tak unhoanne usake bahy sauandary ki shobha dekhi thi, aj vah usaka atmik sauandary dekh rahe haian.

tulasi ka ghar ek gali mean tha. ikka s dak par ja kar thahar gaya. brajanath ikke par se utare aur apani chh di tekate hue bhama ke hathoan ke sahare tulasi ke ghar pahuanche. tulasi ne rupaye liye aur donoan hath phaila kar ashirvad diya-durga ji tumhara kalyan karean.

tulasi ka varnahin mukh vaise hi khil gaya, jaise varsha ke pichhe vrikshoan ki pattiyaan khil jati haian. simata hua aang phail gaya, galoan ki jhurriyaan mitati dikh p dian. aisa maloom hota tha, mano usaka kayakalp ho gaya.

vahaan se a kar brajanath apane dvar par baithe hue the ki gorelal a kar baith gaye. brajanath ne muanh pher liya.

gorelal bole-bhaee sahab ! kaisi tabiyat hai ?

brajanath-bahut achchhi tarah hooan.

gorelal-mujhe kshama kijiega. mujhe isaka bahut khed hai ki apake rupaye dene mean itana vilamb hua. pahali tarikh hi ko ghar se ek avashyak patr a gaya, aur maian kisi tarah tin mahine ki chhutti le kar ghar bhaga. vahaan ki vipatti-katha kahooan, to samapt n ho. lekin apaki bimari ka shok-samachar sun kar aj bhaga chala a raha hooan. ye lijie, rupaye hajir haian. is vilamb ke lie atyant lajjit hooan.

brajanath ka krodh shaant ho gaya. vinay mean kitani shakti hai. bole-ji haan, bimar to tha; lekin ab achchha ho gaya hooan, apako mere karan vyarth kasht uthana p da. yadi is samay apako asuvidha ho, to rupaye phir de dijiega. maian ab urrin ho gaya hooan. koee jaldi nahian hai.

gorelal vida ho gaye, to brajanath rupaye liye hue bhitar aye aur bhama se bole-ye lo apane rupaye; gorelal de gaye.

bhama ne kaha-ye mere rupaye nahian, tulasi ke haian. ek bar paraya dhan le kar sikh gayi.

braj.-lekin tulasi ke poore rupaye to de diye gaye !

bhama-de diye to kya hua ? ye usake ashirvad ki nyochhavar hai.

braj.-kan ke jhumake kahaan se aveange.

bhama-jhumake n raheange, n sahi, sada ke lie ‘kan’ to ho gaye.
