Mama Mithu says to his friend the parrots, Look what a good man my master is.
how happily he is allowing me to go to the forest with you.
now come and go back to our forest.
they say to Mama Mithu, thank you. Yes, you have overcome your stubbornness.
and are willing to go with us.
Then the three parrots fly over Junaid and make a circle.
all the parrots say in their dialect.
Junaid sir, thank you very much, we will all be very grateful to you.
the three parrots fly away from there to their forest.
Junaid watches all these parrots from far away,
When Fyu and Babu come down from that tree.
they show their anger to Junaid, and say to Junaid.
now give us money quickly.
We were not your servant.
We have worked hard to catch your parrots. when We were about to catch this parrot.
you threw a stone at the branch and chased the parrot away. It would have been beneficial for us if we catch all three parrots. all our loss is due to your mistake, now hurry up and take out 60 rupees.
Junaid says, you two stop your nonsense.
I will give you 100 rupees instead of 60.
Junaid takes out two 50, 50 notes from his pocket, gives one 50 note to Fyu and the other to Babu. Both's anger is complete ends. they both happily run back,
Junaid sits alone in that garden for some time, looking at the empty cage.
thinking something.
when Junaid raises his head.
he sees that some people are crossing the canal bridge with a funeral procession. they keep taking this funeral to a place in graveyard near this garden for burial.
Junaid says to himself, today the parrot of this funeral cage has been freed from its imprisonment forever.
now this The funeral cage has become completely useless.
so all these people are going to bury this funeral cage in graveyard forever.
Junaid recites this poem.
جنید یہ شعر پڑھتا ہے،
بجھ گیا آس کا دیئا
تو پیاس بھی مٹ گئی
ڈوب گئی دل کی دھڑکنیں
تو سانس بھی رُک گئی
چھا گئی موت مجھ پر
تو جسم میت ہو گئی
مل گیا کفن مجھ کو
تو ڈولی تیار ہوگئی
جب نکلا جنازہ میرا
تو کسی کی آنکھ برس گئی
اُتارا گیا لحد میں مجھ کو
تو لاش بھی چھپ گئی
جب اُٹھے ھاتھ دعا کے لیئے
تو رضائے رب قبول ہوگئی،
The lamp of hope went out
So the thirst is also quenched
Submerged heartbeats
So the breath also stopped
Death came upon me
So the body became dead
Found the shroud for me
So coffin was ready
When my funeral came out
So someone's eye burst into tears.
Brought me down to the grave
So the body also disappeared
When hands are raised for prayer
So the will of the Lord was accepted.

Then Junaid says to himself, Go, Junaid! now, you also bury this cage forever.
he gets up from this garden and stands on one side directly in the middle of the canal bridge. and he sees to the water of canal for sometime.
he throws the empty cage into the water of the canal. some splashes rise up from the water, and fall back into the water. it creates waves into water and these waves hit the both sides of canal and ends.
He stands there on this bridge for long time. watching the flowing water of the canal, thinking, what should I say to Anila when I go back?
What lies to Anila? That Anila forgets Mama Mithu, or is not shocked by Mama Muthu's departure,
The day is about to pass, the evening is coming, the sun is about to complete its journey for the day.
the darkness is slowly spreading everywhere.
those people are passing the canal bridge after burying the funeral in the cemetery.
Junaid has no thought towards these people, and at that moment is looking at the flowing water of the canal.
Among these people, Arif, who was Junaid's friend and neighbor, saw Junaid alone on this bridge.
so he came to Junaid and asked, "What is the matter Junaid!" Why are you standing alone on this bridge?
Junaid says, Arif, that's it! I am standing like this, watching the flowing water of the canal passing through this bridge at its own pace.
Arif says, Junaid, Do you know that our neighbor Mama Tharoo has also passed the bridge of this life forever?
we are now coming back after burying him in the graveyard.
Junaid says, No Arif, I don't know anything, but some time ago I saw a funeral procession from this garden crossing the bridge, which some people were taking towards the graveyard.
Arif says, yes, Junaid, that was Mama Tharoo's funeral, he is gone from this world forever.
his soul has flown free forever.
his body is buried in grave forever.
Lets go Junaid! Now go, and condole the death of Mama Tharu with his sons and relatives.
all those people have crossed this bridge, the sun has also disappeared.
Junaid and Arif are following behind all these people.
In front of the house of Mama Tharu. some rugs are laid in the street, everyone sits on these rugs, everyone raises their hands to pray, then they pay their respects to Mama Tharo's sons and relatives.
for a few moments there was complete silence.
Then one of these people says, Mama Tharoo was a very good person.
Another says, Mama Tharoo was a very noble person.
A third says, Mama Tharoo was a compassionate person.
The fourth says, Mama Tharoo was a mercyfull person.
