is lekh ka punarikshan evan sampadan hona avashyak hai. ap isamean sahayata kar sakate haian. "sujhav"

amarakant savere utha, muanh-hath dhokar ganga-snan kiya aur chaudhari se milane chala. chaudhari ka nam good d tha. is gaanv mean koee-zamiandar n rahata tha. good d ka dvar hi chaupal ka kam deta tha. amar ne dekha, nim ke pe d ke niche ek takht p da hua hai. do-tin baans ki khatean, do-tin pual ke gadve. good d ki umr sath ke lagabhag thi magar abhi taantha tha. usake samane usaka b da l daka payag baitha ek joota si raha tha. doosara l daka kashi bailoan ko sani-pani kar raha tha. munni gobar nikal rahi thi. teja aur durajan dau d-dau dakar kuean se pani la rahe the. jara poorab ki or hatakar do auratean baratan maanj rahi thian. yah donoan good d ki bahuean thian.

amar ne chaudhari ko ram-ram kiya aur ek pual ki gad़di par baith gaya. chaudhari ne pitbhav se usaka svagat kiya-maje mean khat par baitho, bhaiya munni ne rat hi kaha tha. abhi aj to nahian ja rahe ho- do-char din raho, phir chale jana. munni to kahati thi, tumako koee kam mil jay to yahian tik jaoge.

amar ne sakuchate hue kaha-haan, kuchh vichar to aisa man mean aya tha.

good d ne nariyal se dhuaan nikalakar kaha-kam ki kaun kami hai- ghas bhi kar lo, to rupaye roj ki majoori ho jae. nahian joote ka kam hai. taliyaan banao, charase banao, mehanat karane vala adami bhookhoan nahian marata. dholi ki majoori kahian nahian gee.

yah dekhakar ki amar ko in donoan mean koee tajabij pasand nahian aee, usane ek tisari tajabij pesh ki-kheti-bari ki ichchha ho to kar lo. saloni bhabhi ke khet haian. tab tak vahi joto.

payag ne sooa chalate hue kaha-kheti ki jhanjhat mean n p dana, bhaiya chahe khet mean kuchh ho ya n ho, lagan zaroor do. kabhi ola-pala kabhi sookha-boo da. ek-n-ek bala sir par savar rahati hai. us par kahian bail mar gaya ya khalihan mean ag lag gee to sab kuchh svaha. ghas sabase achchhi. n kisi ke naukar n chakar, n kisi ka lena n dena. sabere khurapi uthaee aur dopahar tak laut ae.

kashi bola-majoori, majoori hai kisani, kisani hai, majoor lakh ho, to majoor kahalaega. sir par ghas lie chale ja rahe haian. koee idhar se pukarata hai-o ghasavale koee udhar se. kisi ki mean d par ghas kar lo, to galiyaan milean. kisani mean marajad hai.

payag ka sooa chalana band ho gaya-marajad le ke chato. idhar-udhar se kama ke lao vah bhi kheti mean jhoank do.

chaudhari ne phaisala kiya-ghata-napha to har ek rozagar mean hai, bhaiya b de-b de sethoan ka divala nikal jata hai. kheti barabar koee rozagar nahian jo kamaee aur takadir achchhi ho. tumhare yahaan bhi najar-najarane ka yahi hal hai, bhaiya-

amar bola-haan, dada sabhi jagah yahi hal hai kahian jyada kahian kam. sabhi gariboan ka lahoo choosate haian.

chaudhari ne sneh ka sahara liya-bhagavanh ne chhote-b de ka bhed kyoan laga diya, isaka maram samajh mean nahian ata- unake to sabhi l dake haian. phir sabako ek aankh se kyoan nahian dekhate-

payag ne shanka-samadhan ki-poorab janam ka sansakar hai. jisane jaise karam kie, vaise phal pa raha hai.

chaudhari ne khandan kiya-yah sab man ko samajhane ki batean haian beta, jisamean gariboan ko apani dasa par santosh rahe aur amiroan ke rag-rang mean kisi tarah ki badha n p de. log samajhate rahean ki bhagavanh ne hamako garib bana diya, adami ka kya dos par yah koee nyay nahian hai ki hamare bal-bachche tak kam mean lage rahean aur pet bhar bhojan n mile aur ek-ek aphasar ko das-das hazar ki talab mile. das to de rupaye hue. gadho se bhi n uthe.

amar ne muskarakar kaha-tum to dada nastik ho.

chaudhari ne dinata se kaha-beta, chahe nastik kaho, chahe moorakh kaho par dil par chot lagati hai, to muanh se ah nikalati hi hai. tum to padhe-likhe ho ji-

'haan, kuchh padha to hai.'

'aangareji to n padhi hogi?'

'nahian, kuchh aangreji bhi padhi hai.'

chaudhari prasann hokar bole-tab to bhaiya, ham tumhean n jane deange. bal-bachchoan ko bula lo aur yahian raho. hamare bal-bachche bhi kuchh padh jaeange. phir sahar bhej deange. vahaan jat-paant-biradari kaun poochhata hai. likha diya ham chhattari haian.

amar muskaraya-aur jo pichhe se bhed khul gaya-

chaudhari ka javab taiyar tha-to ham kah deange, hamare purabaj chhattari the, halaanki apane ko chhattari-bans kahate laj ati hai. sunate haian, chhattari logoan ne musalaman badashahoan ko apani betiyaan byahi thian. abhi kuchh jalapan to n kiya hoga, bhaiya- kahaan gaya teja ja, bahoo se kuchh jalapan karane ko le a. bhaiya, bhagavanh ka nam lekar yahian tik jao. tin-char bighe saloni ke pas hai. do bighe hamare sajhe kar lena. itana bahut hai. bhagavanh dean to khae n chuke.

lekin jab saloni bulaee gee aur usase chaudhari ne yah prastav kiya, to vah bichak uthi. kathor mudra se boli-tumhari mansa hai, apani zamin inake nam kara dooan aur maian hava khaooan, yahi to-

chaudhari ne hansakar kaha-nahian-nahian, zamin tere hi nam rahegi, pagali yah to khali joteange. yahi samajh le ki too inhean bataee par de rahi hai.

saloni ne kanoan par hath rakhakar kaha-bhaiya, apani jagah-jamin maian kisi ke nam nahian likhati. yoan hamare pahune haian, do-char-das din rahean. mujhase jo kuchh hoga, seva-satkar karooangi. tum bataee par lete ho, to le lo. jisako kabhi dekha n suna, n jan n pahachan, use kaise bataee par de dooan-

payag ne chaudhari ki or tiraskar-bhav se dekhakar kaha-bhar gaya man, ya abhi nahian. kahate ho auratean moorakh hoti haian. yah chahean hamako-tumako kh de-kh de bech lavean. saloni kaki muanh ki hi mithi haian.

saloni tinak uthi-haan ji, tumhare kahane se apane purakhoan ki zamin chho d dooan. mere hi pet ka l daka, mujhi ko charane chala hai .

kashi ne saloni ka paksh liya-thik to kahati haian, bejane-sune adami ko apani zamin kaise sauanp dean-

amarakant ko is vivad mean darshanik anand a raha tha. muskarakar bola-haan, kaki, tum thik kahati ho. paradesi adami ka kya bharosa-

munni bhi dvar par kh di yah batean sun rahi thi, boli-pagala gee ho kya, kaki- tumhare khet koee sir par utha le jaega- phir ham log to haian hi. jab tumhare sath koee kapat karega, to ham poochheange nahian-

kisi bh dake hue janavar ko bahut se adami gherane lagate haian, to vah aur bhi bh dak jata hai. saloni samajh rahi thi, yah sab-ke-sab milakar mujhe lutavana chahate haian. ek bar nahian karake, phir haan n ki. veg se chal kh di huee.

payag bola-chu dail hai, chu dail .

amar ne khisiyakar kaha-tumane nahak usase kaha, dada mujhe kya, yah gaanv n sahi aur gaanv sahi.

munni ka chehara phak ho gaya.

good d bole-nahian bhaiya, kaisi batean karate ho tum. mere sajhidar banakar raho. mahantaji se kahakar do-char bighe ka aur bandobast kara dooanga. tumhari jhoanp di alag ban jaegi. khane-pine ki koee bat nahian. ek bhala adami to gaanv mean ho jayega. nahian, kabhi ek chaparasi gaanv mean a gaya, to sabaki saans niche-oopar hone lagati hai.

adha ghante mean saloni phir lauti aur chaudhari se boli-tumhian mere khet kyoan bataee par nahian le lete-

chaudhari ne ghu dakakar kaha-mujhe nahian chahie. dhare rah apane khet.

saloni ne amar se apil ki-bhaiya, tumhian socho, maianne kuchh beja kaha- bejane-sune kisi ko koee apani chiz de deta hai-

amar ne saantvana di-nahian kaki, tumane bahut thik kiya. is tarah vishvas kar lene se dhokha ho jata hai.

saloni ko kuchh dhadhas hua-tumase to beta, meri rat hi bhar ki jan-pahachan hai n- jisake pas mere khet haian, vah to mera hi bhaee-band hai. usase chhinakar tumhean de dooan, to vah apane man mean kya kahega- socho, agar maian anuchit kahati hooan to mere muanh par thapp d maro. vah mere sath beeemani karata hai, yah janati hooan, par hai to apana hi ha d-maans. usake muanh ki roti chhinakar tumhean de dooan to tum mujhe bhala kahoge, bolo-

saloni ne yah dalil khud soch nikali thi ya kisi ne sujha di thi par isane good d ko lajavab kar diya.
