अमर राजा

ओ घणौ बगत पैली री बात है जद एक राजा आपरी सत्ता रै आधार माथै दुनिया माथै राज करणो सरू कर दियो हो कै अबै बो अमर बणणो चावै हो कै बो कठैई-कठैई इसा पाणी है जिणनै पीबा सूं कोई मिनख कर सकै है। अमर बण जावो। ओ संभव है।

देस अर दुनिया मांय भटकण रै बाद आखिरकार राजा नै वा जगां मिलगी जठै उणनै अमृत मिल सकै हो। वा एक पुराणी गुफा ही जठै कोई आतो-जातो कोनी हो।

वा घणी डरावणी दीख री ही पण राजा एक लाम्बी सांस ली अर गुफा रै मांय बड़ग्यो। बठै बो देख्यो कै गुफा रै मांय अमृत रो झरनो बह रैयो है।

बो पाणी पीबा तांई आपरो हाथ आगे कर दियो हो कै कागला री आवाज गुफा रै मांय बैठी ही। कागलो जोर सूं बोल्यो, रुको, रुको, आ गलती मत करो।

राजा कागला कानी देख्यो। उणरी हालत घणी दयनीय ही, बां रा पंख झड़ग्या हा, बां रा पंजा झड़ग्या हा, बो भी अंधो हुयग्यो हो अर फगत एक कंकाल ई बच्योड़ो हो।

राजा बोल्या, थूं कुण है, मन्नै रोकण आळो?

जे मैं आखै संसार नै जीत सकूं तो फेर ओ मन्नै अमृत पीबा सूं कियां रोकै है। फेर कागला आंख्यां मांय आंसू भरता बोल्यो कै मैं भी अमृत री तलाश मांय इण गुफा मांय आयो हो।

अर मैं हड़बड़ाहट रै मांय अमृत पी लियो। अबै म्हैं कदैई नीं मर सकूं, पण अबै म्हैं मरणो चावूं पण नीं मर सकूं।

म्हारी हालत देख ल्यो। कागला री बात सुण्यां पछै राजा घणी देर तांई सोचतो रैयो अर पछै बिना अमृत पीयां चुपचाप गुफा सूं बारै निकळग्यो।

राजा समझग्यो हो कै जीवण रो आनंद तद तांई रैवै जद तांई आपां उण रो आनंद लेवण री स्थिति मांय रैवां।

आपां नै जीवन मांय हमेशा खुश रैवणो चाइजै। आपां नै कदैई भी खुश रैवण सारू मोटी सफलता या बगत री उडीक नीं करणी चाइजै क्यूंकै बगत रै साथै आपां बूढ़ा हो जावांला अर पछै आपां आपणी जिंदगी री असली खुशी रो आनंद नीं ले सकां।

Immortal King

It was a long time ago when a king started ruling the world on the basis of his power. He was so proud of his power that he wanted to become immortal. He found out that there was water somewhere which can make a person immortal by drinking it.

After wandering all over the world, the king finally found the place where he could get Amrit. It was an old cave where no one came.

It looked very scary but the king took a deep breath and entered the cave. There he saw that a spring of Amrit was flowing inside the cave.

He had just extended his hand to drink water when a crow's voice came. The crow was sitting inside the cave. The crow said loudly, wait, don't make this mistake...

The king looked at the crow. It was in a very pitiable state, its feathers had fallen off, its claws had fallen off, it had also become blind, only a skeleton was left.

The king said, who are you to stop me...?

If I can conquer the whole world, then how can it stop me from drinking Amrit. Then the crow said with tears dripping from his eyes that I too had come to this cave in search of Amrit and I drank Amrit in haste. Now I can never die, but now I want to die but cannot die.

Look at my condition. After listening to the crow, the king kept thinking for a long time and after thinking, he returned quietly from the cave without drinking Amrit.

The king had understood that the joy of life lasts only till the time we are in a position to enjoy that joy.

We should always be happy in life, we should never wait for big success or time to be happy because with time we grow old and then are not able to enjoy our life truly.
