sukhada s dak par motar se utarakar sakina ka ghar khojane lagi par idhar se udhar tak do-tin chakkar laga aee, kahian vah ghar n mila. jahaan vah makan hona chahie tha, vahaan ab ek naya kamara tha, jis par kalee puti huee thi. vah kachchi divar aur s da hua tat ka parada kahian n tha. akhir usane ek adami se poochha, tab maloom hua ki jise vah naya kamara samajh rahi thi, sakina ke makan ka daravaza hai. usane avaz di aur ek kshan mean dvar khul gaya. sukhada ne dekha vah ek saf suthara chhota-sa kamara hai, jisamean do-tin modhe rakhe hue haian. sakina ne ek modhe ko badhakar poochha-apako makan talash karana p da hoga. yah naya kamara ban jane se pata nahian chalata.

sukhada ne usake pile, sookhe muanh ki or dekhate hue kaha-haan, maianne do-tin chakkar lagae. ab yah ghar kahalane layaq ho gaya magar tumhari yah kya halat hai- bilakul pahachani hi nahian jati.

sakina ne hansane ki cheshta karake kaha-maian to moti-taji kabhi n thi.

'is vakt to pahale se bhi utari huee ho.'

sahasa pathanin a gee aur yah prashn sunakar boli-mahinoan se bukhar a raha hai beti, lekin dava nahian khati. kaun kahe mujhase bolachal band hai. allah janata hai, tumhari b di yad ati thi bahooji par aooan kaun muanh lekar- abhi tho di hi der huee, lalaji bhi ge haian. jug-jug jiean. sakina ne mana kar diya tha isalie talab lene n gee thi. vahi dene ae the. duniya mean aise-aise khuda ke bande p de hue haian. doosara hota, to meri soorat n dekhata. unaka basa-basaya ghar mujh nasiboanjali ke karan uj d gaya. magar lala ka dil vahi hai, vahi khayal hai, vahi paravarish ki nigah hai. meri aankhoan par n jane kyoan parada p d gaya tha ki maianne bhole-bhale l dake par vah iljam laga diya. khuda kare, mujhe marane ke bad kafan bhi n nasib ho maianne itane dinoan b di chhanabin ki beti sabhi ne meri lanat-malamat ki. is l daki ne to mujhase bolana chho d diya. kh di to hai poochho. aisi-aisi batean kahati hai ki kaleje mean chubh jati haian. khuda sunavata hai, tabhi to sunati hooan. vaisa kam n kiya hota to kyoan sunana p data- use aandhere ghar mean isake sath dekhakar mujhe shubaha ho gaya aur jab us garib ne dekha ki bechari aurat badanam ho rahi hai, to usaki khatir apana dharam dene ko bhi raji ho gaya. mujh nigo di ko us gusse mean yah khayal bhi n raha ki apane hi muanh to kalikh laga rahi hooan.

sakina ne tivr kanth se kaha-are, ho to chuka, ab kab tak dukh da roe jaogi. kuchh aur batachit karane dogi ya nahian-

pathanin ne phariyad ki-isi tarah mujhe jhi dakati rahati hai beti, bolane nahian deti. poochho, tumase dukh da n roooan, to kisake pas rone jaooan-

sukhada ne sakina se poochha-achchha, tumane apana vasika lene se kyoan iankar kar diya tha- vah to bahut pahale se mil raha hai.

sakina kuchh bolana hi chahati thi ki pathanin phir boli-isake pichhe mujhase l da karati hai, bahoo kahati hai, kyoan kisi ki khairat lean- yah nahian sochati ki usi se to hamari paravarish huee hai. bas, ajakal silaee ki dhun hai. barah-barah baje rat tak baithi aankhean pho dati rahati hai. jara soorat dekho, isi se bukhar bhi ane laga hai, par dava ke nam se bhagati hai. kahati hooan, jan rakhakar kam kar, kaun lav-lashkar khane vala hai lekin yahaan to dhun hai, ghar bhi achchha ho jae, saman bhi achchha ban jae. idhar kam achchha mila hai, aur majoori bhi achchhi mil rahi hai magar sab isi tim-tam mean u d jati hai. yahaan se tho di door par ek eesain rahati hai, vah roj subah padhane ati hai. hamare jamane mean to beta sipara aur roja-namaz ka rivaj tha. kee jagah se shadi ke paigam ae....

sakina ne kathor hokar kaha-are, to ab chup bhi rahogi. ho to chuka. apaki kya khatir karooan, bahan- apane itane dinoan bad mujh badanasib ko yad to kiya .

sukhada ne udar man se kaha-yad to tumhari barabar ati rahati thi aur ane ko ji bhi chahata tha par darati thi, tum apane dil mean n jane kya samajho- yah to aj miyaan salim se maloom hua ki tumhari tabiyat achchhi nahian hai. jab ham log tumhari khidamat karane ko har tarah hajir haian, to tum nahak kyoan jan deti ho-

sakina jaise sharm ko nigalakar boli-bahan, maian chahe mar jaooan, par is garibi ko mitakar chhodooangi. maian is halat mean n hoti, to babooji ko kyoan mujh par raham ata, kh‍yoan vah mere ghar ate, kyoan unhean badanam hokar ghar se bhagana p data- sari musibat ki j d garibi hai. isaka khatma karake chhodooangi.

ek kshan ke bad usane pathanin se kaha-jara jakar kisi tanbolin se pan hi lagava lao. ab aur kya khatir karean apaki-

budhiya ko is bahane se talakar sakina dhire svar mean boli-yah muhammad salim ka khat hai. ap jab mujh par itana raham karati haian, to apase kya parada karooan- jo hona tha, vah to ho hi gaya. babooji yahaan kee bar ae. khuda janata hai jo unhoanne kabhi meri taraph aankh uthaee ho. maian bhi unaka adab karati thi. haan, unaki sharaphat ka asar zaroor mere dil par hota tha. ekaek meri shadi ka zikr sunakar babooji ek nashe ki-si halat mean ae aur mujhase muhabbat zahir ki. khuda gavah hai bahan, maian ek harg bhi galat nahian kah rahi hooan. unaki pyar ki batean sunakar mujhe bhi sudha-budha bhool gee. meri jaisi aurat ke sath aisa sharif adami yoan muhabbat kare, yah mujhe le u da. maian vah nemat pakar divani ho gee. jab vah apana tan-man sab mujh par nisar kar rahe the, to maian kath ki putali to n thi. mujhamean aisi kya khoobi unhoanne dekhi, yah maian nahian janati. unaki batoan se yahi maloom hota tha ki vah apase khush nahian haian. bahan, maian is vakt apase saph-saph batean kar rahi hooan, muaph kijiega. apaki taraph se unhean kuchh malal zaroor tha aur jaise gaka karane ke bad amir adami bhi jarada, pulav bhoolakar sattoopar toot p data hai, usi tarah unaka dil apaki taraph se mayoos hokar meri taraph lapaka. vah muhabbat ke bhookhe the. muhabbat ke lie unaki deh t dapati rahi thi. shayad yah nemat unhean kabhi mayassar hi n huee. vah numaish se khush hone vale adami nahian haian. vah dil aur jan se kisi ke ho jana chahate haian aur use bhi dil aur jan se apana kar lena chahate haian. mujhe ab afasos ho raha hai ki maian unake sath chali kyoan n gee- bechare sattoo par gire to vah bhi samane se khianch liya gaya. ap ab bhi unake dil par qabza kar sakati haian. bas, ek muhabbat mean dooba hua khat likh dijie. vah doosare hi din dau de hue aeange. maianne ek hira paya hai aur jab tak koee use mere hathoan se chhin n le, use chho d nahian sakati. mahaj yah khayal ki mere pas hira hai, mere dil ko hamesha mazaboot aur khush banae rahega.

vah lapakakar ghar mean gee aur ek itr mean basa hua liphapha lakar sukhada ke hath par rakhati huee boli-yah miyaan muhammad salim ka khat hai. ap padh sakati haian. koee aisi bat nahian hai vah bhi mujh par ashik ho ge haian, pahale apane khidamatagar ke sath mera nikah kara dena chahate the. ab khud nikah karana chahate haian. pahale chahe jo kuchh rahe hoan, par ab unamean vah chhichhorapan nahian hai. unaki mama unaka hal bayan kiya karati haian. meri nisbat bhi unhean jo maloom hua hoga, mama se hi maloom hua hoga. maianne unhean do-char bar apane daravaze par bhi takate-jhaankate dekha hai. sunati hooan, kisi ooanche ohade par a ge haian. meri to jaise takadir khul gee, lekin muhabbat ki jis najuk janjir mean baandhi huee hooan, use b di-se-b di takat bhi nahian to d sakati. ab to jab tak mujhe maloom n ho jaega ki babooji ne mujhe dil se nikal diya, tab tak unhian ki hooan, aur unake dil se nikali jane par bhi is muhabbat ko hamesha yad rakhooangi. aisi pak muhabbat ka ek lamaha iansan ko umr-bhar matavala rakhane ke lie kafi hai. maianne isi majamoon ka javab likh diya hai. kal hi to unake jane ki tarikh hai. mera khat padhakar rone lage. ab yah than li hai ki ya to mujhase shadi kareange ya bina-byahe raheange. usi zile mean to babooji bhi haian. donoan dostoan mean vahian phaisala hoga. isilie itani jald bhage ja rahe haian.

budhiya ek patto ki gilauri mean pan lekar a gee. sukhada ne nishkriy bhav se pan lekar kha liya aur phir vicharoan mean doob gee. is daridr ne use aj poorn roop se parast kar diya tha. aj vah apani vishal sanpatti aur mahati kulinata ke sath usake samane bhikharin-si baithi huee thi. aj usaka man apana aparadh svikar karata hua jan p da. ab tak usane tark se man ko samajhaya tha ki purush chhichhore aur harajaee hote hi haian, is yuvati ke hav-bhav, has-vilas ne unhean mugdh kar liya. aj use jnat hua ki yahaan n hav-bhav hai, n has-vilas hai, n vah jadoo bhari chitavan hai. yah to ek shaant, karoon sangit hai, jisaka ras vahi le sakate haian, jinake pas hriday hai. lanpatoan aur vilasiyoan ko jis prakar chatapate, uth‍tejak khane mean anand ata hai, vah yahaan nahian hai. us udarata ke sath, jo dvesh ki ag se nikalakar khari ho gee thi, usane sakina ki garadan mean baanhean dal dian aur boli-bahan, aj tumhari batoan ne mere dil ka bojh halka kar diya. sanbhav hai, tumane mere oopar jo iljam lagaya hai, vah thik ho. tumhari taraph se mera dil aj saf ho gaya. mera yahi kahana hai ki babooji ko agar mujhase shikayat huee thi, to unhean mujhase kahana chahie tha. maian bhi eeshvar se kahati hooan ki apani jan mean maianne unhean kabhi asantusht nahian kiya. haan, ab mujhe kuchh aisi batean yad a rahi haian, jinhean unhoanne meri nishthurata samajhi hogi par unhoanne mera jo apaman kiya, use maian ab bhi kshama nahian kar sakati. agar unhean prem ki bhookh thi, to mujhe bhi prem ki bhookh kuchh kam n thi. mujhase vah jo chahate the, vahi maian unase chahati thi. jo chiz vah mujhe n de sake, vah mujhase n pakar vah kyoan udvand ho ge- kya isilie ki vah purush haian, aur purush chahe stri ko paanv ki jooti samajhean, par stri ka dharm hai ki vah unake paanv se lipati rahe- bahan, jis tarah tumane mujhase koee parada nahian rakha, usi tarah maian bhi tumase nishkapat batean kar rahi hooan. meri jagah par ek kshan ke lie apane ko rakh lo. tab tum mere bhavoan ko pahachan sakogi. agar meri khata hai to utani hi unaki bhi khata hai. jis tarah maian apani takadir ko thokakar baith gee thi, kya vah bhi n baith sakate the- tab shayad saphaee ho jati, lekin ab to jab tak unaki taraph se hath n badhaya jaega, maian apana hath nahian badha sakati, chahe sari ziandagi isi dasha mean p di rahooan. aurat nirbal hai aur isilie use man-samman ka du:kh bhi jyada hota hai. ab mujhe ajna do bahan, jara naina se milana hai. maian tumhare lie savari bhejooangi, kripa karake kabhi-kabhi hamare yahaan a jaya karo.

vah kamare se bahar nikali, to sakina ro rahi thi, n jane kyoan-

sanbandhit lekh
