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

amarakant ko lakhanoo jel mean ae aj tisara din hai. yahaan use chakki ka kam diya gaya hai. jel ke adhikariyoan ko maloom hai, vah dhani ka putr hai, isalie use kathin parishram dekar bhi usake sath kuchh riayat ki jati hai.

ek chhappar ke niche chakkiyoan ki katarean lagi huee haian. do-do kaidi harek chakki ke pas kh de ata pis rahe haian. sham ko ate ki taul hogi. ata kam nikala, to dand milega.

amar ne apane sangi se kaha-jara thahar jao bhaee, dam le looan, mere hath nahian chalate. kya nam hai tumhara- maianne to shayad tumhean kahian dekha hai.

sangi gathila, kala, lal aankhoan vala, kathor akriti ka manushy tha, jo parishram se thakana n janata tha. muskarakar bola-maian vahi kale khaan hooan, ek bar tumhare pas sone ke k de bechane gaya tha. yad karo lekin tum yahaan kaise a phanse, mujhe yah tajjub ho raha hai. parasoan se hi poochhana chahata tha par sochata tha, kahian dhokha n ho raha ho.

amar ne apani katha sankshep mean kah sunaee aur poochha-tum kaise ae-

kale khaan hansakar bola-meri kya poochhate ho lala, yahaan to chh: mahine bahar rahate haian, to chh: sal bhitar. ab to yahi arajoo hai ki allah yahian se bula le. mere lie bahar rahana musibat hai. sabako achchha-achchha pahanate, achchha-achchha khate dekhata hooan, to hasad hota hai, par mile kahaan se- koee hunar ata nahian, ilam hai nahian. chori n karooan, daka n maeean, to khaooan kya- yahaan kisi se hasad nahian hota, n kisi ko achchha pahanate dekhata hooan, n achchha khate. sab apane hi jaise haian, phir dah aur jalan kyoan ho- isilie allahatala se dua karata hooan ki yahian se bula le. chhootane ki arajoo nahian hai. tumhare hath du:kh ge hoan to rahane do. maian akela hi pis dalooanga. tumhean in logoan ne yah kam diya hi kyoan- tumhare bhaee-band to ham logoan se alag, aram se rakhe jate haian. tumhean yahaan kyoan dal diya- hat jao.

amar ne chakki ki muthiya zor se pak dakar kaha-nahian-nahian, maian thaka nahian hooan. do-char din mean adat p d jaegi, to tumhare barabar kam karooanga.

kale khaan ne use pichhe hatate hue kaha-magar yah to achchha nahian lagata ki tum mere sath chakki piso. tumane jurm nahian kiya hai. riaya ke pichhe sarakar se l de ho, tumhean maian n pisane dooanga. maloom hota hai tumhare lie hi allah ne mujhe yahaan bheja hai. vah to b da karasaj adami hai. usaki kudarat kuchh samajh mean nahian ati. ap hi adami se buraee karavata hai ap hi use saza deta hai, aur ap hi use muaph kar deta hai.

amar ne apatti ki-buraee khuda nahian karata, ham khud karate haian.

kale khaan ne aisi nigahoan se usaki or dekha, jo kah rahi thi, tum is rahasy ko abhi nahian samajh sakate-na-na, maian yah nahian manooanga. tumane to padha hoga, usake hukm ke bagair ek patta bhi nahian hil sakata, buraee kaun karega- sab kuchh vahi karavata hai, aur phir maph bhi kar deta hai. yah maian muanh se kah raha hooan. jis din mere eeman mean yah bat jam jaegi, usi din buraee band ho jaegi. tumhian ne us din mujhe vah nasihat sikhaee thi. maian tumhean apana pir samajhata hooan. do sau ki chiz tumane tis rupaye mean n li. usi din mujhe maloom hua,0 badi kya chiz hai. ab sochata hooan, allah ko kya muanh dikhaooanga- ziandagi mean itane gunah kie haian ki jab unaki yad ati hai, to roane kh de ho jate haian. ab to usi ki rahimi ka bharosa hai. kyoan bhaiya, tumhare mazahab mean kya likha hai- allah gunahagaroan ko muaph kar deta hai-

kale khaan ki kathor mudra is gahari, sajiv, saral bhakti se pradipt ho uthi, aankhoan mean komal chhata uday ho gee. aur vani itani marmasparshi, itani ardr thi ki amar ka hriday pulakit ho utha-sunata to hooan khaan sahab, ki vah b da dayalu hai.

kale khaan doone veg se chakki ghumata hua bola-b da dayalu hai, bhaiya maan ke pet mean bachche ko bhojan pahuanchata hai. yah duniya hi usaki rahimi ka aeena hai. jidhar aankhean uthao, usaki rahimi ke jalave. itane khooni-dakoo yahaan p de hue haian, unake lie bhi aram ka saman kar diya. mauqa deta hai, bar-bar mauqa deta hai ki ab bhi sanbhal javean. usaka goossa kaun sahega, bhaiya- jis din use gussa avega, yah duniya jahannum ko chali jaegi. hamare-tumhare oopar vah kyoan gussa karega- ham chianti ko pairoan tale p date dekhakar kinare se nikal jate haian. use kuchalate raham ata hai. jis allah ne hamako banaya, jo hamako palata hai, vah hamare oopar kabhi gussa kar sakata hai- kabhi nahian.

amar ko apane aandar astha ki ek lahar-si uthati huee jan p di. itane atal vishvas aur saral shradhda ke sath is vishay par usane kisi ko batean karate n suna tha. bat vahi thi, jo vah nity chhote-b de ke muanh se suna karata tha, par nishtha ne un shabdoan mean jan si dal di thi.

jara der bad vah phir bola-bhaiya, tumase chakki chalavana to aise hi hai, jaise koee talavar se chi die ko halal kare. tumhean aspatal mean rakhana chahie tha, bimari mean dava se utana phayada nahian hota, jitana mithi bat se ho jata hai. mere samane yahaan kee kaidi bimar hue par ek bhi achchha n hua. bat kya hai- dava kaidi ke sir par patak di jati hai, vah chahe pie chahe pheank de.

amar ko is kali-kalooti kaya mean svarn-jaisa hriday chamakata dikh p da. muskarakar bola-lekin donoan kam sath-sath kaise karooanga-

'maian akela chakki chala looanga aur poora ata tulava dooanga.'

'tab to sara savab tumhian ko milega.'

kale khaan ne sadhu-bhav se kaha-bhaiya, koee kam savab samajhakar nahian karana chahie. dil ko aisa bana lo ki savab mean use vahi maja ave, jo gane ya khelane mean ata hai. koee kam isalie karana ki usase najat milegi, rozagar hai phir maian tumhean kya samajhaooan tum khud in batoan ko mujhase jyada samajhate ho. maian to mariz ki timaradari karane ke layaq hi nahian hooan. mujhe b di jaldi gussa a jata hai. kitana chahata hooan ki gussa n ae par jahaan kisi ne do-ek bar meri batean n manian aur maian big da.

vahi dakoo, jise amar ne ek din adhamata ke pairoan ke niche lotate dekha tha, aj devatv ke pad par pahuanch gaya tha. usaki atma se mano ek prakash-sa nikalakar amar ke aant:karan ko avalokit karane laga.

usane kaha-lekin yah to bura maloom hota hai ki mehanat ka kam tum karo aur maian....

kale khaan ne bat kati-bhaiya, in batoan mean kya rakha hai- tumhara kam is chakki se kahian kathin hoga. tumhean kisi ke bat karane tak ki muhalat n milegi. maian rat ko mithi niand soooanga. tumhean ratean japhakar katani p deangi. jan-jokhim bhi to hai. is chakki mean kya rakha hai- yah kam to gadha bhi kar sakata hai, lekin jo kam tum karoge, vah virale kar sakate haian.

sooryast ho raha tha. kale khaan ne apane poore gehooan pis dale the aur doosare kaidiyoan ke pas ja-jakar dekh raha tha, kisaka kitana kam baki hai. kee kaidiyoan ke gehooan abhi samapt nahian hue the. jel karmachari ata taulane a raha hoga. in becharoan par aphat a jaegi, mar p dane lagegi. kale khaan ne ek-ek chakki ke pas jakar kaidiyoan ki madad karani shuroo ki. usaki phurti aur mehanat par logoan ko vismay hota tha. adha ghante mean usane phisaddiyoan ki kami poori kar di. amar apani chakki ke pas kh da seva ke putale ko shradhda-bhari aankhoan se dekh raha tha, mano divy darshan kar raha ho.

kale khaan idhar se phurasat pakar namaz padhane laga. vahian baramade mean usane vajoo kiya, apana kanbal zamin par bichha diya aur namaz shuroo ki. usi vakt jelar sahab char vardaroan ke sath ata tulavane a pahuanche. kaidiyoan ne apana-apana ata boriyoan mean bhara aur tarajoo ke pas akar kh da ho ge. ata tulane laga.

jelar ne amar se poochha-tumhara sathi kahaan gaya-

amar ne bataya, namaz padh raha hai.

'use bulao. pahale ata tulava le, phir namaz padhe. b da namaji ki dum bana hai. kahaan gaya hai namaz padhane?'

amar ne shed ke pichhe ki taraph ishara karake kaha-unhean namaz padhane dean ap ata taul lean.

jelar yah kab dekh sakata tha ki koee kaidi us vakt namaz padhane jay, jab jel ke sakshath prabhu padhare hoan shed ke pichhe jakar bole-abe o namaji ke bachche, ata kyoan nahian tulavata- bacha, geanhoo chaba ge ho, to namaz ka bahana karane lage. chal chatapat, varana mare hantaroan ke cham di udho d dooanga.

kale khaan doosari hi duniya mean tha.

jelar ne samip jakar apani chh di usaki pith mean chubhate hue kaha-bahara ho gaya hai kya be- shamatean to nahian aee haian-

kale khaan namaz mean magn tha. pichhe phirakar bhi n dekha.

jelar ne jhallakar lat jamaee. kalean khaan sijade ke lie jhuka hua tha. lat khakar auandho muanh gir p da par turant sanbhalakar phir sijade mean jhuk gaya. jelar ko ab zid p d gee ki usaki namaz band kar de. sanbhav hai kale khaan ko bhi zid p d gee ho ki namaz poori kie bagair n uthooanga. vah to sijade mean tha. jelar ne use bootadar thokarean jamani shuroo kian ek vardan ne lapakakar do garad sipahi bula lie. doosara jelar sahab ki kumak par dau da. kale khaan par ek taraph se thokarean p d rahi thian, doosari taraph se lak diyaan par vah sijade se sir n uthata tha. haan, pratyek aghat par usake muanh se 'allaho akabar .' ki dil hila dene vali sada nikal jati thi. udhar aghatakariyoan ki uth‍tejana bhi badhati jati thi. jel ka kaidi jel ke khuda ko sijada n karake apane khuda ko sijada kare, isase b da jelar sahab ka kya apaman ho sakata tha yahaan tak ki kale khaan ke sir se rudhir bahane laga. amarakant usaki raksha karane ke lie chala tha ki ek vardan ne use mazabooti se pak d liya. udhar barabar aghat ho rahe the aur kale khaan barabar 'allaho akabar' ki sada lagae jata tha. akhir vah avaz kshin hote-hote ek bar bilakul band ho gee aur kalean khaan rakt bahane se shithil ho gaya. magar chahe kisi ke kanoan mean avaz n jati ho, usake hoanth ab bhi khul rahe the aur ab bhi 'allaho akabar' ki avyakt dhh‍vani nikal rahi thi.

jelar ne khisiyakar kaha-p da rahane do badamash ko yahian kal se ise kh di be di dooanga aur tanahaee bhi. agar tab bhi n sidha hua, to ulati hogi. isaka namajipan nikal n dooan to nam nahian.

ek minat mean vardan, jelar, sipahi sab chale ge. kaidiyoan ke bhojan ka samay aya, sab-ke-sab bhojan par ja baithe. magar kale khaan abhi vahian auandha p da tha. sir aur nak tatha kanoan se khoon bah raha tha. amarakant baitha usake ghavoan ko pani se dhoraha tha aur khoon band karane ka prayas kar raha tha. atmashakti ke is kalpanatit udaharan ne usaki bhautik buddhi ko jaise akraant kar diya. aisi paristhiti mean kya vah is bhaanti nishchal aur sanyamit baitha rahata- shayad pahale hi aghat mean usane ya to pratikar kiya hota ya namaz chho dakar alag ho jata. vijnan aur niti aur deshanurag ki vedi par balidanoan ki kami nahian. par yah nishchal dhairy eeshvar-nishtha hi ka prasad hai.

kaidi bhojan karake laute. kale khaan ab bhi vahian p da hua tha. sabhi ne use uthakar bairak mean pahuanchaya aur d aauktar ko soochana di par unhoanne rat ko kasht uthane ki zaroorat n samajhi. vahaan aur koee dava bhi n thi. garm pani tak n mayassar ho saka.

us bairak ke kaidiyoan ne rat baithakar kati. kee adami amada the ki subah hote hi jelar sahab ki marammat ki jay. yahi n hoga, sal-sal bhar ki miyad aur badh jaegi. kya paravah amarakant shaant prakriti ka adami tha, par is samay vah bhi unhian logoan mean mila hua tha. rat-bhar usake aandar pashu aur manushy mean dvandv hota raha. vah janata tha, ag ag se nahian, pani se shaant hoti hai. iansan kitana hi haivan ho jay usamean kuchh n kuchh adamiyat rahati hi hai. vah adamiyat agar jag sakati hai, to glani se, ya pashh‍chatap se. amar akela hota, to vah ab bhi vichalit n hota lekin samoohik avesh ne use bhi asthir kar diya. samooh ke sath ham kitane hi aise achchhe-bure kam kar jate haian, jo ham akele n kar sakate. aur kale khaan ki dasha jitani hi kharab hoti jati thi, utani hi pratishodh ki jvala bhi prachand hoti jati thi.

ek dake ke kaidi ne kaha-khoon pi jaooanga, khoon usane samajha kya hai yahi n hoga, phaansi ho jaegi-

amarakant bola-us vakt kya samajhe the ki mare hi dalata hai .

chupake-chupake shadayantr racha gaya, aghatakariyoan ka chunav hua, unaka kary vidhan nishchay kiya gaya. saphaee ki dalilean soch nikali geean.

sahasa ek thigane kaidi ne kaha-tum log samajhate ho, savere tak use khabar n ho jaegi-

amar ne poochha-khabar kaise hogi- yahaan aisa kaun hai, jo use khabar de de-

thigane kaidi ne daean-baean aankhean ghumakar kaha-khabar dene vale n jane kahaan se nikal ate haian, bhaiya- kisi ke mathe par to kuchh likha nahian, kaun jane hamian mean se koee jakar ittila kar de- roj hi to logoan ko mukhabir banate dekhate ho. vahi log jo agua hote haian, avasar p dane par sarakari gavah ban jate haian. agar kuchh karana hai, to abhi kar dalo. din ko varadat karoge, sab-ke-sab pak d lie jaoge. paanch-paanch sal ki saza thukajaegi.

amar ne sandeh ke svar mean poochha-lekin is vakt to vah apane kvartar mean so raha hoga-

thigane kaidi ne rah bataee-yah hamara kam hai bhaiya, tum kya jano-

saboan ne muanh mo dakar kanaphusakiyoan mean batean shuroo kian. phir paanchoan adami kh de ho ge.

thigane kaidi ne kaha-hamamean se jo ththate, use goo hatya .

yah kahakar usane b de zor se hay-hay karana shuroo kiya. aur bhi kee adami chikhane chillane lage. ek kshan mean vardan ne dvar par akar poochha-tum log kyoan shor kar rah eho- kya bat hai-

thigane kaidi ne kaha-bat kya hai, kale khaan ki halat kharab hai. jakar jelar sahab ko bula lao. chatapat.

vardan bola-vah be chupachap p da rah b da navab ka beta bana hai .

'ham kahate haian jakar unhean bhej do nahian, thik nahian hoga.'

kale khaan ne aankhean kholian aur kshin svar mean bola-kyoan chillate ho yaro, maian abhi mara nahian hooan. jan p data hai, pith ki haddi mean chot hai.

thigane kaidi ne kaha-usi ka badala chukane ki taiyari hai pathan .

kale khaan tiraskar ke svar mean bola-kisase badala chukaoge bhaee, allah se- allah ki yahi maraji hai, to usamean doosara kaun dakhal de sakata hai- allah ki marzi ke bina kahian ek patti bhi hil sakati hai- jara mujhe pani pila do. aur dekho, jab maian mar jaooan, to yahaan jitane bhaee haian, sab mere lie khuda se dua karana. aur duniya mean mera kaun hai- shayad tum logoan ki dua se meri nijat ho jay.

amar ne use god mean sanbhalakar pani pilana chaha magar ghooant kanth ke niche n utara. vah zor se karahakar phir let gaya.

thigane kaidi ne daant pisakar kaha-aise badamas ki garadan to ulati chhuri se katani chahie .

kale khaan dinabhav se rook-rookakar bola-kyoan meri najat ka dvar band karate ho, bhaee duniya to big d gee kya akabat bhi biphadana chahate ho- allah se dua karo, sab par raham kare. ziandagi mean kya kam gunah kie haian ki marane ke pichhe paanv mean be diyaan p di rahean ya allah, raham kar.

in shabdoan mean marane vale ki nirmal atma mano vyapt ho gee thi. batean vahi thian, to roj suna karate the, par is samay inamean kuchh aise dravak, kuchh aisi hila dene vali si' ithi ki sabhi jaise usamean naha uthe. is chutaki bhar rakh ne jaise unake tapamay vikaroan ko shaant kar diya.

prat:kal jab kale khaan ne apani jivan-lila samapt kar di to aisa koee kaidi n tha, jisaki aankhoan se aansoo n nikal rahe hoan par auroan ka rona du:kh ka tha, amar ka rona sukh ka tha. auroan ko kisi atmiy ke kho dene ka sadama tha, amar ko usake aur samip ho jane ka anubhav ho raha tha. apane jivan mean usane yahi ek navaratn paya tha, jisake sammukh vah shradhda se sir jhuka sakata tha aur jisase viyog ho jane par use ek varadan pa jane ka bhan hota tha.

is prakash-stanbh ne aj usake jivan ko ek doosari hi dhara mean dal diya jahaan sanshay ki jagah vishvas, aur shanka ki jagah saty moortiman ho gaya tha.
