mahashay guruprasadaji rasik jiv haian, gane-bajane ka shauq hai, khane-khilane ka shauq hai aur sair-tamashe ka shauq hai; par usi matr mean dravyoparjan ka shauq nahian hai. yoan vah kisi ke muanhataj nahian haian, bhale adamiyoan ki tarah haian aur haian bhi bhale adami; magar kisi kam mean chimat nahian sakate. gu d hokar bhi unamean las nahian hai. vah koee aisa kam uthana chahate haian, jisamean chatapat karooan ka khazana mil jay aur hamesha ke lie bephikr ho jayan. baiank se chhamahi sood chala aye, khayean aur maje se p de rahean. kisi ne salah di natak-kampani kholo. unake dil mean bhi bat jam gee. mitroan ko likha maian drametik kanpani kholane ja raha hooan, ap log drame likhana shuroo kijie. kanpani ka prasapektas bana, kee mahine usaki khoob charcha rahi, kee b de-b de adamiyoan ne hisse kharidane ke vade kiye. lekin n hisse bike, n kanpani kh di huee. haan, isi dhun mean guruprasadaji ne ek natak ki rachana kar dali aur yah fikr huee ki ise kisi kanpani ko diya jay. lekin yah to maloom hi tha, ki kanpanivale ek hi ghagh hote haian. phir harek kanpani mean usaka ek natakakar bhi hota hai. vah kab chahega ki usaki kanpani mean kisi bahari adami ka pravesh ho. vah is rachana mean tarah-tarah ke aib nikalega aur kanpani ke malik ko bh daka dega. isalie prabandh kiya gaya, ki malikoan par natak ka kuchh aisa prabhav jama diya jay ki natakakar mahoday ki kuchh dal n gal sake. paanch sajjanoan ki ek kameti banaee gee, usamean sara program vistar ke sath tay kiya gaya aur doosare din paanch sajjan guruprasadaji ke sath natak dikhane chale. taange a gaye. haramoniyam, tabala adi sab us par rakh diye gaye; kyoanki natak ka dim aaunsatreshan karana nishchit hua tha. sahasa vinodabihari ne kaha, ‘yar, taange par jane mean to kuchh badarobi hogi. malik sochega, yah mahashay yoan hi haian. is samay das-paanch rupaye ka muanh n dekhana chahie. maian to aangrejoan ki vijnapanabaji ka kayal hooan ki rupaye mean pandrah ane usamean lagakar shesh ek ane mean rozagar karate haian. kahian se do motarean mangani chahie.

rasikalal bole, ‘lekin kiraye ki motaroan se vah bat n paida hogi, jo ap chahate haian. kisi rees se do motarean maangani chahie, maris ho ya naye chal ki astin.‘

bat sachchi thi. bhesh se bhikh milati hai. vichar hone laga ki kis rees se yachana ki jay. aji, vah maha khoosat hai. sabere usaka nam le lo to din bhar pani n mile. achchha sethaji ke pas chalean to kaisa ? muanh dho rakhie, usaki motarean aphasaroan ke lie rijarv haian, apane l dake tak ko kabhi baithane nahian deta, apako diye deta hai. to phir kapoor sahab ke pas chalean. abhi unhoanne nee motar li hai. aji, usaka nam n lo. koee-n-koee bahana karega, draivar nahian hai, marammat mean hai.

guruprasad ne adhir hokar kaha, ‘tum logoan ne to vyarth ka bakhe da kar diya. taangoan par chalane mean kya haraj tha ?’

vinodabihari ne kaha, ‘ap to ghas kha gaye haian. natak likh lena doosari bat hai aur muamale ko patana doosari bat hai. rupaye prishth suna dega, apana-sa muanh lekar rah jaoge.‘

amaranath ne kaha, ‘maian to samajhata hooan, motar ke lie kisi raja-rees ki khushamad karana bekar hai. tariph to jab hai ki paanv-paanv chalean aur vahaan aisa-aisa rang jamayean ki motar se bhi zyada shan rahe.‘

vinodabihari uchhal p de. sab log paanv-paanv chalean. vahaan pahuanchakar kis tarah batean shuroo hoangi, kis tarah tariphoan ke pul baandho jaeange, kis tarah drametist sahab ko khush kiya jayaga, is par bahas hoti jati thi. ham log kampani ke kaianp mean koee do baje pahuanche. vahaan malik sahab, unake aiktar, natakakar sab pahale hi se hamara intajar kar rahe the. pan, ilayachi, sigaret manga lie the.

oopar jate hi rasikalal ne malik se kaha, ‘kshama kijiega, hamean ane mean der huee. ham motar se nahian, paanv-paanv aye haian. aj yahi salah huee ki prakriti ki chhata ka anand uthate chalean; guruprasadaji to prakriti ke

upasak haian. inaka bas hota, to aj chimata liye ya to kahian bhikh maangate hote, ya kisi paha di gaanv mean vatavriksh ke niche baithe pakshiyoan ka chahakana sunate hote.‘

vinod ne radda jamaya –‘aur aye bhi to sidhe raste se nahian, jane kahaan-kahaan ka chakkar lagate, khak chhanate. pairoan mean jaise sanichar hai.

amar ne aur rang jamaya, ‘poore satajugi adami haian. naukar-chakar to motaroan par savar hote haian aur ap gali-gali mare-mare phirate haian. jab aur rees mithi niand ke maje lete hote haian, to ap nadi ke kinare usha ka shrriangar dekhate haian. mastaram ne pharamaya qavi hona, mano din-duniya se mukt ho jana hai. gulab ki ek pankh di lekar usamean n jane kya ghantoan dekha karate haian. prakriti ki upasana ne hi yoorop ke b de-b de kaviyoan ko asaman par pahuancha diya hai. yoorop mean hote to aj inake dvar par hathi jhoomata hota. ek din ek balak ko rote dekhakar ap rone lage. poochhata hooan bhaee kyoan rote ho, to aur rote haian. muanh se avaz nahian nikalati. b di mushkil se avaz nikali.

vinod –‘zanab ! kavi ka hriday komal bhavoan ka ऱet hai, madhur sangit ka bhandar hai, anant ka aeena hai.

rasik –‘kya bat kahi hai apane, anant ka aeena hai ! vah ! kavi ki sohabat mean ap bhi kuchh kavi hue ja rahe haian.‘

guruprasad ne namrata se kaha, ‘maian kavi nahian hooan aur n mujhe kavi hone ka dava hai. ap log mujhe jabaradasti kavi banaye dete haian. kavi strashta ki vah adbhut rachana hai jo panchabhootoan ki jagah nau rasoan se banati hai.‘

mastaram—‘ apaka yahi ek vaky hai, jis par saik doan kavitaeannyochhavar haian. suni apane rasikalalaji, kavi ki mahima. yad kar lijie, rat dalie.‘

rasikalal –‘qahaan tak yad karean, bhaiya, yah to sooktiyoan mean batean karate haian. aur namrata ka yah hal hai ki apane ko kuchh samajhate hi nahian. mahanata ka yahi lakshan hai. jisane apane ko kuchh samajha, vah gaya. (kampani ke

svami se) ap to ab khud hi suneange, is drame mean apana hriday nikalakar rakh diya hai. kaviyoan mean jo ek prakar ka alh dapan hota hai, usaki ap mean kahian gandh bhi nahian. is drame ki samagri jama karane ke lie apane kuchh nahian to ek hazar b de-b de pothoan ka adhyayan kiya hoga. vajidali shah ko svarthi itihas-lekhakoan ne kitana kalankit kiya hai, ap log janate hi haian. us lekh-rashi ko chhaantakar usamean se saty ke tattv khoj nikalana ap hi ka kam tha !

vinod –‘isilie ham aur ap donoan kalakatta gaye aur vahaan koee chh: mahine matiyaburj ki khak chhanate rahe. vajidali shah ki hastalikhit ek pustak ki talash ki. usamean unhoanne khud apani jivan-charcha likhi hai. ek budhiya ki pooja ki gee, tab kahian jake chh: mahine mean kitab mili.

amaranath –‘pustak nahian ratn hai. mastaram us vakt to usaki dasha koyale ki thi, guruprasadaji ne us par mohar lagakar asharphi bana diya. drama aisa chahie ki jo sune, dil hathoan se tham le. ek-ek vaky dil mean chubh jay. amaranath sansar-sahity ke sabhi natakoan ko apane chat dala aur natay-rachana par saik doan kitabean padh dalian. vinod zabhi to chiz bhi lasani huee hai. amaranath lahaur drametik klab ka malik haphte bhar yahaan p da raha, pairoan p da ki mujhe yah natak de dijie, lekin apane n diya. jab aiktar hi achchhe nahian, to unase apana drama khelavana usaki mitti kharab karana tha. is kampani ke aiktar mashaallah apana javab nahian rakhate aur isake natakakar ki sare jamane mean dhoom hai. ap logoan ke hathoan mean p dakar yah drama dhoom macha dega. vinod ek to lekhak sahab khud shaitan se zyada mashahoor haian, us par yahaan ke aiktaroan ka natay-kaushal ! shahar lut jayaga.

mastaram --'roj hi to kisi-n-kisi kampani ka adami sir par savar rahata hai, magar baboo sahab kisi se sidhe muanh bat nahian karate. vinod bas ek yah kampani hai, jisake tamashe ke lie dil bekarar rahata hai, nahian to aur jitane drame khele jate haian do kau di ke. maianne tamasha dekhana hi chho d diya.'

guruprasad --' natak likhana bachchoan ka khel nahian hai; khoone-jigar pina p data hai. mere khayal mean ek natak likhane ke lie paanch sal ka samay bhi kafi nahian. balki achchha drama ziandagi mean ek hi likha ja sakata hai. yoan kalam ghisana doosari bat hai. b de-b de dhurandhar alochakoan ka yahi nirnay hai ki adami ziandagi mean ek hi natak likh sakata hai. roos, phraans, jarmani sabhi deshoan ke drame padhe; par koee-n-koee dosh sabhi mean maujood, kisi mean bhav hai to bhasha nahian, bhasha hai to bhav nahian. hasy hai to gana nahian, gana hai to hasy nahian. jab tak bhav, bhasha, hasy aur gana yah charoan aang poore n hoan, use drama kahana hi n chahie. maian to bahut hi tuchchh adami hooan, kuchh ap logoan ki sohabat mean shudabud a gaya. meri rachana ki hasti hi kya. lekin eeshvar ne chaha, to aise dosh apako n mileange.'

vinod –‘zab ap us vishay ke marmajn haian, to dosh rah hi kaise sakate haian.‘

rasikalal –‘das sal tak to apane keval sangit-kala ka abhyas kiya hai. ghar ke hajaroan rupaye ustadoan ko bheant kar diye, phir bhi dosh rah jay, to durbhagy hai.‘

riharsal

riharsal shuroo aur vah ! vah ! hay ! hay ! ka tar bandha. koras sunate hi aiktar aur propraitar aur natakakar sabhi mano jag p de. bhoomika ne unhean vishesh prabhavit kiya tha, par asali chiz samane ate hi aankhean khulian. samaan bandh gaya. pahala sin aya. aankhoan ke samane vajidali shah ke darabar ki tasavir khianch gee. darabariyoan ki hajir-javabi aur ph dakate hue latiphe ! vah ! vah ! kya kahana hai ! kya vaky rachana thi, kya shabd yojana thi, rasoan ka kitana suruchi se bhara hua samavesh tha ! tisara drishy hasyamay tha. hansate-hansate logoan ki pasaliyaan dukhane lagian, sthoolakay svami ki sanyat avichalata bhi asan se dig gee. chautha sin karunajanak tha. hasy ke bad karuna, aandhi ke bad anevali shanti thi. vinod aankhoan par hath

rakhe, sir jhukaye jaise ro rahe the. mastaram bar-bar thandi ahean khianch rahe the aur amaranath bar-bar sisakiyaan bhar rahe the. isi tarah sin-par-sin aur aank-par-aank samapt hote gaye, yahaan tak ki jab riharsal samapt hua, to dipak jal chuke the.

sethaji ab tak soanth bane hue baithe the. drama samapt ho gaya, par unake mukharaviand par unake manovichar ka leshamatr bhi abhas n tha. j d bharat ki tarah baithe hue the, n muskarahat thi, n kutoohal, n harsh; n kuchh. vinodabihari ne muamale ki bat poochhi to is drama ke bare mean shrimanh ki kya ray hai ? sethaji ne usi virakt bhav se uttar diya, ‘maian isake vishay mean kal nivedan karooanga. kal yahian bhojan bhi kijiega. ap logoan ke layaq bhojan to kya hoga, use keval vidur ka sag samajhakar svikar kijie.‘

panch paandav bahar nikale, to mare khushi ke sabaki bachhean khili jati thian.

vinod –‘paanch hazar ki thaili hai. nak-nak bad sakata hooan. amaranath paanch hazar hai ki das, yah to nahian kah sakata, par rang khoob jam gaya.‘

rasik –‘mera anuman to char hazar ka hai.‘

mastaram –‘aur mera vishvas hai ki das hazar se kam vah kahega hi nahian. maian to seth ke chehare ki taraph dhyan se dekh raha tha. aj hi kah deta; par darata tha, kahian ye log asvikar n kar dean. usake hoanthoan par to hansi n thi; par magan ho raha tha.

guruprasad –‘maianne padha bhi to ji to dakar.‘

vinod –‘aisa jan p data tha tumhari vani par sarasvati baith gee haian.‘

sabhi ki aankhean khul geean.

rasik –‘mujhe usaki chuppi se jara sandeh hota hai.‘

amar –‘apake sandeh ka kya kahana. apako eeshvar par bhi sandeh hai.‘

mastaram –‘drametist bhi bahut khush ho raha tha. das-barah hazar ka vara-nyara hai. bhee, aj is khushi mean ek davat honi chahie.t

guruprasad –‘are, to kuchh bohani-batta to ho jay.‘

mast –‘zi nahian, tab to jalasa hoga. aj davat hogi.‘

vinod –‘bhagy ke bali ho tum guruprasad.‘

rasik –‘meri ray hai, jara us drametist ko gaanth liya jay. usaka maun mujhe bhayabhit kar raha hai.

mast –‘ap to vahi hue haian. vah nak rag dakar rah jay, tab bhi yah sauda hokar rahega. sethaji ab bachakar nikal nahian sakate.‘

vinod –‘ham logoan ki bhoomika bhi to joradar thi.‘

amar –‘usi ne to rang jama diya. ab koee chhoti rakam kahane ka use sahas n hoga.‘

abhinay

rat ko guruprasad ke ghar mitroan ki davat huee. doosare din koee 6 baje paanchoan adami sethaji ke pas ja pahuanche. sandhya ka samay havakhori ka hai. aj motar par n ane ke lie bana-banaya bahana tha. sethaji aj behad khush najar ate the. kal ki vah muharrami soorat aantadhardhan ho gayi thi. bat-bat par chahakate the, hansate the, jaise lakhanoo ka koee rees ho. davat ka saman taiyar tha. mejoan par bhojan chuna jane laga. aangoor, santare, kele, sookhe meve, kee kism ki mithaiyaan, kee tarah ke murabbe, sharab adi saja diye gaye aur yaroan ne khoob maje se davat khaee. sethaji mehamananavaji ke putale bane hue harek mehaman ke pas a-akar poochhate quchh aur mangavaooan ? kuchh to aur lijie. ap logoan ke layaq bhojan yahaan kahaan ban sakata hai. bhojan ke uparaant log baithe, to muamale ki batachit hone lagi. guruprasad ka hriday asha aur bhay se kaanpane laga.

sethaji –‘huzoor ne bahut hi suandar natak likha hai. kya bat hai !’

drametist –‘yahaan janata achchhe dramoan ki kadr nahian karati, nahian to yah drama lajavab hota.‘

sethaji –‘zanata kadr nahian karati n kare, hamean janata ki bilakul paravah nahian hai, ratti barabar paravah nahian hai. maian isaki taiyari mean 40 hazar keval baboo sahab ki khatir se kharch kar dooanga. apane itani mehanat se ek chiz likhi hai, to maian usaka prachar bhi utane hi hausale se karooanga. hamare sahity ke lie kya yah kuchh kam saubhagy ki bat hai ki ap-jaise mahanh purush is kshetr mean a gaye. yah kirti huzoor ko amar bana degi.‘

drametist –‘maianne to aisa drama aj tak nahian dekha. likhata maian bhi hooan aur log bhi likhate haian. lekin apaki u dan ko koee kya pahuanchega ! kahian-kahian to apane sheksapiyar ko bhi mat kar diya hai.‘

sethaji –‘to janab, jo chiz dil ki umang se likhi jati hai, vah aisi hi advitiy hoti hai. sheksapiyar ne jo kuchh likha, rupaye ke lobh se likha. hamare doosare natakakar bhi dhan hi ke lie likhate haian. unamean vah bat kahaan paida ho sakati hai. gosaeeanji ki ramayan kyoan amar hai, isilie ki vah bhakti aur prem se prerit hokar likhi gee hai. sadi ki gulist aau aur bost aau, homar ki rachanaean, isilie sthayi haian ki un kaviyoan ne dil ki

umang se likha. jo umang se likhata hai, vah ek-ek shabd, ek-ek vaky, ek-ek ukti par mahinoan kharch kar deta hai. dhanechchhu ko to ek kam jaldi se samapt karake doosara kam shuroo karane ki fikr hoti hai.‘

drametist –‘ap bilakul saty kah rahe haian. hamare sahity ki avanati keval isalie ho rahi hai ki ham sab dhan ke lie ya nam ke lie likhate haian.‘

sethaji –‘sochie, apane das sal keval sangit-kala mean kharch kar diye. lakhoan rupaye kalavantoan aur gayakoan ko de dale hoange. kahaan-kahaan se aur kitane parishram aur khoj se is natak ki samagri ekatr ki. n jane kitane rajoan-maharajoan ko sunaya. is parishram aur lagan ka puraskar kaun de sakata hai.‘

drametist –‘mumakin hi nahian. aisi rachanaoan ke puraskar ki kalpana karana hi unaka anadar karana hai. inaka puraskar yadi kuchh hai, to vah apani atma ka santosh hai, vah santosh apake ek-ek shabd se prakat hota hai.‘

sethaji –‘apane bilakul saty kaha, ki aisi rachanaoan ka puraskar apani atma ka santosh hai. yash to bahudha aisi rachanaoan ko mil jata hai, jo sahity ke kalank haian. apase drama le lijie aur aj hi part bhi takasim kar dijie. tin mahine ke andar ise khel dalana hoga.‘

mej par drame ki hastalipi p di huee thi. drametist ne use utha liya. guruprasad ne din netroan se vinod ki or dekha, vinod ne amar ki or, amar ne rasik ki or, par shabd kisi ke muanh se n nikala. sethaji ne mano, sabhi ke muanh-si diye hoan. drametist sahab kitab lekar chal diye.

sethaji ne muskarakar kaha, ‘huzoor ko tho di-si takaliph aur karani hogi. drama ka rirhasal shuroo ho jayaga, to apako tho de dinoan kanpani ke sath rahane ka kasht uthana p dega. hamare aiktar adhikaansh gujarati haian. vah hindi bhasha ke shabdoan ka shuddh uchcharan nahian kar sakate. kahian-kahian shabdoan par anavashyak zor dete haian. apaki nigarani se yah sari buraiyaan door ho jayangi. aiktaroan ne yadi part achchha n kiya, to apake sare parishram par pani p d jayaga.‘ yah kahate hue unhoanne l dake ko avaz di, ‘b aauy ! ap logoan ke lie sigar lao.‘ sigar a gaya. sethaji uth kh de hue. yah mitr-mandali ke lie vidaee ki soochana thi. paanchoan sajjan bhi uthe. sethaji age-age dvar tak aye.

phir sabase hath milate hue kaha, ‘aj is garib kampani ka tamasha dekh lijie. phir yah sanyog n jane kab prapt ho.‘

guruprasad ne mano kisi qabr ke niche se kaha, ‘ho saka to a jaooanga.‘

s dak par akar paanchoan mitr kh de hokar ek-doosare ka muanh takane lage. tab paanchoan hi zor se kahakaha, marakar hans p de.

vinod ne kaha, ‘yah ham sabaka gurughantal nikala.‘

amar –‘saph aankhoan mean dhool jhoank di.‘

rasik –‘maian usaki chuppi dekhakar pahale hi dar raha tha ki yah koee palle sire ka ghagh hai.

mast –‘man gaya isaki khop di ko. yah chapat umr bhar n bhoolegi.‘

guruprasad is alochana mean sharik n hue. vah is tarah sir jhukaye chale ja rahe the, mano abhi tak vah sthiti ko samajh hi n paye hoan.
