Neel gai

           Neel  gai
      
       Mere gaon mein
     ek neel gai hai,
     chokon mat
     kutte ho to
     bhonko mat,
     bade wale dafter
     ka afsar jab 
     jab chhutti par
     chala jata hai
     to thaane ka mukhbir
     fursat mein,
     apni kaapi se
     kuchh naam nikaal leta hai,

     be-rojgaaron ki
     mandli ko
     alag-alag kaam sonpta hai,
     pate thikaane ki
     tasdeek kara deta hai.
     alas subah…
     gaon mein
     hadkamp mach jata hai…
     kisi ka lota
     kisi ki thaali
     aur ek anya ka
     hukka uth jata hai….
     gaon wale
     apni jaan-pehchaan wale ko
     talaash karte hain.
     uski thanedar se
     dua-salaam hai
     hello hi hai
     raam raam hai.
     thaane mein uski
     guftgu hoti hai
     gaon ka chowkidar bhi
     thanedar ke kaan mein
     kuchh phusphusata hai.
     thane ka aadmi
     gaon mein neta hai–
     thanedar aur wo 
     sar hilate hain
     sab kuchh tai ho jata hai.
     neta ji gaon walon ko
     sambodhit karte hain,
     “Thanedar sahab
     Jaanch karvaenge
     pata lagvaenge
     choron ke naam ko 
     hamen bataenge,
     tab
     hum rapat likhvaenge”.

    Went through the poem again after reading your message. The message in the poem got through this time. Though I have grown up in North India, Hindi is not my mother tongue and occassionally I falter in the language. Thanks for the clarification. Certainly hepled to put things in proper perspective. Your effort is appreciated.
