us vakt meri umr koee 13 sal ki rahi hogi. hindi bilkul n janata tha. urdoo ke upanyas padhane-likhane ka unmad tha. maulana sharar, pan0 ratananath sarashar, mirja rusava, maulavi muhammad ali haradoee nivasi, us vakt ke sarvapriy upanyasakar the. inaki rachanaean jahaan mil jati thian, skool ki yad bhool jati thi aur pustak samapt karake hi dam leta tha. us jamane mean renald ke upanyasoan ki dhoom thi. urdoo mean unake anuvad dh dadh d nikal rahe the aur hathoan-hath bikate the. maian bhi unaka ashik tha. sv0 hajarat riyaz ne jo urdoo ke prasiddh kavi the aur jinaka hal mean dehant hua hai, renald ki ek rachana ka anuvad ‘haram sara’ ke nam se kiya tha. us jamane mean lakhanoo ke saptahik ‘avadh-panch’ ke sampadak sv0 maulana sajjad husen ne, jo hasyaras ke amar kalakar haian, renald ke doosare upanyas ka anuvad ‘dhokha’ ya ‘tilasmi fanoos’ ke nam se kiya tha. ye sari pustakean maianne usi jamane mean padhian aur pan0 ratananath sarashar se to mujhe tripti n hoti thi. unaki sari rachanaean maianne padh dalian. un dinoan mere pita gorakhapur mean rahate the aur maian bhi gorakhapur hi ke mishan skool mean athavean mean padhata tha, jo tisara daraja kahalata tha. reti par ek bukaselar buddhilal nam ka rahata tha. maian usaki dookan par ja baithata tha aur usake stak se upanyas le-lekar padhata tha; magar dookan par sare din to baith n sakata tha, isalie maian usaki dookan se aangreji pustakoan ki kuanjiyaan aur nots lekar apane skool ke ladaqoan ke hath becha karata tha aur isake muavaje mean dookan se upanyas ghar lakar padhata tha. do-tin varshoan mean maianne saik doan hi upanyas padh dale hoange. jab upanyasoan ka stak samapt ho gaya, to maianne navalakishor pres se nikale hue puranoan ke urdoo anuvad bhi padhe, aur ‘tilasmi hosharuba’ ke kee bhag bhi padhe. is vrihadh tilasmi granth ke 17 bhag us vakt nikal chuke the aur ek-ek bhag b de supararayal ke akar ke do-do hazar prishthoan se kam n hoga. aur in 17 bhagoan ke uparant usi pustak ke alag-alag prasangoan par pachisoan bhag chhap chuke the. inamean se bhi maianne padhe. jisane itane b de granth ki rachana ki, usaki kalpana-shakti kitani prabal hogi, isaka keval anuman kiya ja sakata hai. kahate haian, ye kathaean maulana phaiji ne akabar ke vinodarth pharasi mean likhi thian. inamean kitana saty hai, kah nahian sakata; lekin itani vrihadh katha shayad hi sansar ki kisi bhasha mean ho. poori eansaiklopidiya samajh lijie. ek adami to apane 60 varsh ke jivan mean unaki nakal bhi karana chahe, to nahian kar sakata. rachana to doosari bat hai.
usi jamane mean mere ek nate ke mamoo kabhi-kabhi hamare yahaan aya karate the. adhe d ho gaye the; lekin abhi tak bin-byahe the. pas mean tho di-si zamin thi, makan tha, lekin gharani ke bina sab kuchh soona tha. isalie ghar par ji nahian lagata tha. natedariyoan mean ghooma karate the, aur sabase yahi asha rakhate the, ki koee unaka byah kara de. isake lie sau-do-sau kharch karane ko bhi taiyar the. kyoan unaka byah nahian hua, yah ashchary tha. achchhe-khase hrisht-pusht adami the, b di-b di mooanchhean, ausat kad, saanvala rang. gaanja pite the, isase aankhean lal rahati thian. apane dhang ke dharmanishth bhi the. shivaji ko rojana jal chadhate the. aur maans machhali nahian khate the.
akhir ek bar unhoanne bhi vahi kiya, jo bin-byahe log aksar kiya karate haian. ek chamarin ke nayan-banoan se ghayal ho gaye. vah unake yahaan gobar pathane, bailoan ko sani-pani dene aur isi tarah ke doosare phutakar kamoan ke lie naukar thi. javan thi, chhabili thi, aur apane varg ki any ramaniyoan ki bhaanti prasann mukh aur vinodani thi. ‘ek samay sakhi suari sundari’ vali bat thi. mamoo sahab ka trishit hriday mithe jal ki dhara dekhate hi phisal p da. batoan-batoan mean usase chhe dachha d karane lage. vah inake man ka bhav ta d gayi. aisi alh d n thi. aur nakhare karane lagi. keshoan mean tel bhi padऩe laga, chahe sarasoan ka hi kyoan n ho. aankhoan mean kajal bhi chamaka, othoan par missi bhi ayi, aur kam mean dhilaee bhi shuroo huee. kabhi dopahar ko ayi aur jhalak dikhakar chali gayi, kabhi saanjh ko ayi aur ek tir chalakar chali gayi. bailoan ko sani-pani mamoo sahab khud de dete, gobar doosare utha le jate, yuvati se big date kyoankar? vahaan to ab prem uday ho gaya tha. holi mean use prathanusar ek sa di di; magar abaki gaji ki sa di n thi, khoobasoorat-si sava do rupaye ki chuandari thi. holi ki tyohari bhi mamool se chauguni di. aur yah silasila yahaan tak badha ki vah chamarin hi ghar ki malakin ho gayi.
ek din sandhya-samay chamaroan ne apas mean panchayat ki. b de adami haian to hua karean, kya kisi ki ijjat leange! ek in lala ke bap the ki kabhi kisi mehariya ki or aankh uthakar n dekha, (halaanki yah sarasar galat tha) aur ek yah haian ki nich jati ki bahoo-betiyoan par bhi dore dalate haian! samajhane-bujhane ka mauqa n tha. samajhane se lala maneange to nahian, ulate aur koee mamala kh da kar deange. inake kalam ghumane ki to der hai. isalie nishchay hua ki lala sahab ko aisa sabak dena chahie ki hamesha ke lie yad ho jae. ijjat ka badala khoon hi chukata hai, lekin marammat se bhi kuchh usaki purauti ho sakati hai.
doosare din sham ko jab champa mamoo sahab ke ghar mean ayi to unhoanne andar ka dvar band kar diya. mahinoan ke asamanjas aur hichak aur dharmik sangharsh ke bad aj mamoo sahab ne apane prem ko vyavaharik roop dene ka nishchay kiya tha. chahe kuchh ho jay, kul marajad rahe ya jay, bap-dada ka nam doobe ya utaray!
udhar chamaroan ka jattha tak mean tha hi. idhar kiva d band hue, udhar unhoanne dvar khatakhatana shuroo kiya. pahale to mamoo sahab ne samajha, koee asami milane aya hoga, kiva d band pakar laut jaega; lekin jab adamiyoan ka shoragul suna to ghab daye. jakar kiva doan ki daraj se jhaanka. koee bis-pachis chamar lathiyaan lie dvar roke kh de kiva doan ko todऩe ki cheshta kar rahe the. ab karean to kya karean? bhagane ka kahian rasta nahian, champa ko kahian chhipa nahian sakate. samajh gaye ki shamat a gayi. ashiki itani jaldi gul khilaegi yah kya janate the, nahian is chamarin par dil ko ane hi kyoan dete. udhar champa inhian ko kos rahi thi-tumhara kya big dega, meri to ijjat lut gayi. ghar vale moo d hi katakar chho deange, kahati thi, kabhi kiva d band n karo, hath-paanv jo dati thi, magar tumhare sir par to bhoot savar tha. lagi muanh mean kalikh ki nahian?
mamoo sahab bechare is kooche mean kabhi n aye the. koee pakka khila di hota to sau upay nikal leta; lekin mamoo sahab ki to jaise sitti-pitti bhool gayi. barauth mean thar-thar kaanpate ‘hanuman-chalisa’ ka path karate hue kh de the. kuchh n soojhata tha.
aur udhar dvar par kolahal badhata ja raha tha, yahaan tak ki sara gaanv jama ho gaya. bamhan, thakur, kayasth sabhi tamasha dekhane aur hath ki khujali mitane ke lie a pahuanche. isase zyada manoranjak aur sphoortivardhak tamasha aur kya hoga ki ek mard ek aurat ke sath ghar mean band paya jae! phir vah chahe kitana hi pratishthit aur vinamr kyoan n ho, janata use kisi tarah kshama nahian kar sakati. badhee bulaya gaya, kiva d pha de gaye aur mamoo sahab bhoose ki kothari mean chhipe hue mile. champa aangan mean kh di ro rahi thi. dvar khulate hi bhagi. koee usase nahian bola. mamoo sahab bhagakar kahaan jate? vah janate the, unake lie bhagane ka rasta nahian hai. mar khane ke lie taiyar baithe the. mar padऩe lagi aur bebhav ki padऩe lagi. jisake hath jo kuchh laga-joota, chh di, chhata, lat, ghooansa astr chale. yahaan tak mamoo sahab behosh ho gaye aur logoan ne unhean murda samajhakar chho d diya. ab itani durgati ke bad vah bach bhi gaye, to gaanv mean nahian rah sakate aur unaki zamin pattidaroan ke hath aegi.
is durghatana ki khabar u date-u date hamare yahaan bhi pahuanchi. maianne bhi usaka khoob anand uthaya. pitate samay unaki roop-rekha kaisi rahi hogi, isaki kalpana karake mujhe khoob hansi ayi.
ek mahine tak to vah haldi aur gu d pite rahe. jyoanhi chalane-phirane layaq hue, hamare yahaan aye. yahaan apane gaanv valoan par dake ka istagasa dayar karana chahate the.
agar unhoanne kuchh dinata dikhayi hoti, to shayad mujhe hamadardi ho jati; lekin unaka vahi dam-kham tha. mujhe khelate ya upanyas padhate dekhakar bigadऩa aur rob jamana aur pitaji se shikayat karane ki dhamaki dena, yah ab maian kyoan sahane laga tha! ab to mere pas unhean nicha dikhane ke lie kafi masala tha!
akhir ek din maianne yah sari durghatana ek natak ke roop mean likh dali aur apane mitroan ko sunayi. sab-ke-sab khoob hanse. mera sahas badha. maianne use saph-saph likhakar vah kapi mamoo sahab ke sirahane rakh di aur skool chala gaya. dil mean kuchh darata bhi tha, kuchh khush bhi tha aur kuchh ghabaraya hua bhi tha. sabase b da kutoohal yah tha ki drama padhaqar mamoo sahab kya kahate haian. skool mean ji n lagata tha. dil udhar hi tanga hua tha. chhutti hote hi ghar chala gaya. magar dvar ke samip akar paanv ruk gaye. bhay hua, kahian mamoo sahab mujhe mar n baithean; lekin itana janata tha ki vah ekadh thapp d se zyada mujhe mar n sakeange, kyoanki maian mar khane vale ladaqoan mean n tha.
magar yah mamala kya hai! mamoo sahab charapaee par nahian haian, jahaan vah nity lete hue milate the. kya ghar chale gaye? akar kamara dekha vahaan bhi sannata. mamoo sahab ke joote, kap de, gathari sab lapata. andar jakar poochha. maloom hua, mamoo sahab kisi zaroori kam se ghar chale gaye. bhojan tak nahian kiya.
maianne bahar akar sara kamara chhan mara magar mera drama-meri vah pahali rachana-kahian n mili. maloom nahian, mamoo sahab ne use chiragali ke supurd kar diya ya apane sath svarg le gaye?
