3 Wishes

Dream once I saw
Of Jeannie coming raw

Asking for three wishes
As early as asking dishes

I saw list so long
In front not wrong

Decided to ask for three
Me, My nation, Humanity free

Firstly asked to remove
All sorrow down move

Secondly asked to make
India first to take

All its past gain
" Sone ki chidiya" again

Third was interesting
Which will keep flying

I asked to play
With my grand son's son
On the top 5th floor of golden palace
That too happily

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Sone ki chidiya means "The golden sparrow"
Earlier India due to having too much gold was nick named
like this
