gobar ko yahaan rahate sal bhar ho gaya. ab vah sidha-sadha gramin yuvak nahian hai. usane bahut kuchh duniya dekh li aur sansar ka rang-dhang bhi kuchh-kuchh samajhane laga hai. mool mean vah ab bhi dehati hai, paise ko daant se pak data hai, svarth ko kabhi nahian chho data, aur parishram se ji nahian churata, n kabhi himmat harata hai, lekin shahar ki hava use bhi lag gee hai. usane pahale mahine mean to keval majoori ki aur adha pet kha kar tho de se rupe bacha lie. phir vah kachaloo aur matar aur dahi-b de ke khoanche lagane laga. idhar zyada labh dekha, to naukari chho d di. garmiyoan mean sharbat aur baraph ki dukan bhi khol di. len-den mean khara tha, isalie usaki sakh jam gee. ja de ae, to usane sharbat ki dukan utha di aur garm chay pilane laga. ab usaki rojana amadani dhaee-tin rupe se kam nahian hai. usane aangreji phaishan ke bal katava lie haian, mahin dhoti aur panp-shoo pahanata hai. ek lal ooni chadar kharid li aur pan-sigaret ka shaukin ho gaya hai. sabhaoan mean ane-jane se use kuchh-kuchh rajanitik jnan bhi ho chala hai. rashtr aur varg ka arth samajhane laga hai. samajik roodhiyoan ki pratishtha aur lok-nianda ka bhay ab usamean bahut kam rah gaya hai. ae din ki panchayatoan ne use nissankoch bana diya hai. jis bat ke pichhe vah yahaan ghar se door, muanh chhipae p da hua hai, usi tarah ki, balki usase bhi kahian niandaspad batean yahaan nity hua karati haian, aur koee bhagata nahian. phir vahi kyoan itana dare aur muanh churae.

itane dinoan mean usane ek paisa bhi ghar nahian bheja. vah mata-pita ko rupe-paise ke mamale mean itana chatur nahian samajhata. ve log to rupe pate hi akash mean u dane lageange! dada ko turant gaya karane ki aur ammaan ko gahane banavane ki dhun savar ho jayagi. aise vyarth ke kamoan ke lie usake pas rupe nahian haian. ab vah chhota-mota mahajan hai. p dos ke ekkevaloan, ga divanoan aur dhobiyoan ko sood par rupe udhar deta hai. is das-gyarah mahine mean hi usane apani mehanat aur kiphayat aur purusharth se apana sthan bana liya hai aur ab jhuniya ko yahian la kar rakhane ki bat soch raha hai.

tisare pahar ka samay hai. vah s dak ke nal par naha kar aya hai aur sham ke lie aloo ubal raha hai ki mirja khurshed a kar dvar par kh de ho ge. gobar ab unaka naukar nahian hai, par adab usi tarah karata hai aur unake lie jan dene ko taiyar rahata hai. dvar par ja kar poochha - kya hukm hai sarakar?

mirja ne kh de-kh de kaha - tumhare pas kuchh rupe hoan, to de do. aj tin din se botal khali p di huee hai, ji bahut bechain ho raha hai.

gobar ne isake pahale bhi do-tin bar mirja ji ko rupe die the, par ab tak vasool n saka tha. takaja karate darata tha aur mirja ji rupe le kar dena n janate the. unake hath mean rupe tikate hi n the. idhar ae, udhar gayab. yah to n kah saka, maian rupe n dooanga ya mere pas rupe nahian haian, sharab ki nianda karane laga - ap ise chho d kyoan nahian dete sarakar? kya isake pine se kuchh fayada hota hai?

mirja ji ne kothari ke aandar a kar khat par baithate hue kaha - tum samajhate ho, maian chho dana nahian chahata aur shauq se pita hooan. maian isake bagair jianda nahian rah sakata. tum apane rupayoan ke lie n daro. maian ek-ek kau di ada kar dooanga.

gobar avichalit raha - maian sach kahata hooan malik! mere pas is samay rupe hote to apase inakar karata?

'do rupe bhi nahian de sakate?'

'is samay to nahian haian.'

meri aangoothi giro rakh lo.'

gobar ka man lalacha utha, magar bat kaise badale?

bola - yah ap kya kahate haian malik, rupe hote to apako de deta, aangoothi ki kaun bat thi.

mirja ne apane svar mean b da din agrah bhar kar kaha - maian phir tumase kabhi n maangooanga gobar! mujhase kh da nahian hua ja raha hai. is sharab ki badaulat maianne lakhoan ki haisiyat biga d di aur bhikhari ho gaya. ab mujhe bhi zid p d gee hai ki chahe bhikh hi maangani p de, ise chho dooanga nahian.

jab gobar ne abaki bar inakar kiya, to mirja sahab nirash ho kar chale ge. shahar mean unake hajaroan milane vale the. kitane hi unaki badaulat ban ge the. kitanoan hi ki gadhe samay par madad ki thi, par aisoan se vah milana bhi n pasand karate the. unhean aise hajaroan latake maloom the, jinase vah samay-samay par rupayoan ke dher laga dete the, par paise ki unaki nigah mean koee kadr n thi. unake hath mean rupe jaise katate the. kisi-n-kasi bahane u da kar hi unaka chitt shaant hota tha.

gobar aloo chhilane laga. sal-bhar ke aandar hi vah itana kaiyaan ho gaya tha aur paisa jo dane mean itana kushal ki acharaj hota tha. jis kothari mean rahata hai, vah mirja sahab ne di hai. is kothari aur baramade ka kiraya b di asani se paanch rupaya mil sakata hai. gobar lagabhag sal-bhar se usamean rahata hai, lekin mirja ne n kabhi kiraya maanga, n usane diya. unhean shayad khayal bhi n tha ki is kothari ka kuchh kiraya bhi mil sakata hai.

tho di der mean ek ekkevala rupe maangane aya. aladin nam tha, sir ghuta hua, khich di dadhi, usaki l daki vida ho rahi thi. paanch rupe ki use zaroorat thi. gobar ne use ek ana rupaya sood par de die.

aladin ne dhanyavad dete hue kaha - bhaiya, ab bal-bachchoan ko bula lo. kab tak hath se thoankate rahoge.

gobar ne shahar ke kharch ka rona roya - tho di amadani mean grihasthi kaise chalegi?

aladin bi di jalata hua bola - kharach allah dega bhaiya! socho, kitana aram milega. maian to kahata hooan, jitana tum akele kharach karate ho, usi mean grihasthi chal jayagi. aurat ke hath mean b di barakkat hoti hai. khuda kasam, jab maian akela yahaan rahata tha, to chahe kitana hi kamaooan, kha-pi sab barabar. bi di-tamakhoo ko bhi paisa n rahata. us par hairani. thake-maande ao, to gho de ko khilao aur tahalao. phir nanabaee ki dukan par dau do. nak mean dam a gaya. jab se gharavali a gee hai, usi kamaee mean usaki rotiyaan bhi nikal ati haian aur aram bhi milata hai. akhir adami aram ke lie hi to kamata hai. jab jan khapa kar bhi aram n mila, to ziandagi hi garat ho gee. maian to kahata hooan, tumhari kamaee badh jayagi bhaiya! jitani der mean aloo aur matar ubalate ho, utani der mean do-char pyale chay bech loge. ab chay barahoan mas chalati hai. rat ko letoge to gharavali paanv dabaegi. sari thakan mit jayagi.

yah bat gobar ke man mean baith gee. ji uchat ho gaya. ab to vah jhuniya ko la kar hi rahega. aloo choolhe par chadhe rah ge aur usane ghar chalane ki taiyari kar di, magar yad aya ki holi a rahi hai, isalie holi ka saman bhi leta chale. kripan logoan mean utsavoan par dil khol kar kharch karane ki jo ek pravritti hoti hai, vah usamean bhi sajag ho gee. akhir isi din ke lie to kau di-kau di jo d raha tha. vah maan, bahanoan aur jhuniya sabake lie ek-ek jo di sa di le jayaga. hori ke lie ek dhoti aur ek chadar. sona ke lie tel ki shishi le jayaga aur ek jo da chappal. roopa ke lie ek japani gu diya aur jhuniya ke lie ek pitari, jisamean tel, siandoor aur aina hoga. bachche ke lie top aur phrak, jo bazar mean bana-banaya milata hai. usane rupe nikale aur bazar chala. dopahar tak sari chizean a geean. bistar bhi bandha gaya, muhalle valoan ko khabar ho gee, gobar ghar ja raha hai. kee mard-auratean use vida karane ae. gobar ne unhean apana ghar sauanpate hue kaha - tumhian logoan par chho de jata hooan. bhagavan ne chaha to holi ke doosare din lautooanga.

ek yuvati ne muskara kar kaha - mehariya ko bina lie n ana, nahian ghar mean n ghusane paoge.

doosari praudha ne shiksha di - haan, aur kya, bahut dinoan tak choolha phooank chuke. thikane se roti to milegi!

gobar ne sabako ram-ram kiya. hiandoo bhi the, musalaman bhi the, sabhi mean mitrabhav tha, sab ek-doosare ke du:kh-dard ke sathi the. roja rakhane vale roja rakhate the. ekadashi rakhane vale ekadashi. kabhi-kabhi vinod-bhav se ek-doosare par chhiante bhi u da lete the. gobar aladin ki namaz ko utha-baithi kahata, aladin pipal ke niche sthapit saik doan chhote-b de shivaliangoan ko batakhare banata, lekin saanpradayik dvesh ka nam bhi n tha. gobar ghar ja raha hai. sab use hansi-khushi vida karana chahate haian.

itane mean bhoore ikka le kar a gaya. abhi din-bhar ka dhavamar kar aya tha. khabar mili, gobar ja raha hai. vaise hi ekka idhar pher diya. gho de ne apatti ki. use kee chabuk lagae. gobar ne ekke par saman rakha, ekka badha, pahuanchane vale gali ke mo d tak pahuanchane ae, tab gobar ne sabako ram-ram kiya aur ekke par baith gaya.

s dak par ekka sarapat dau da ja raha tha. gobar ghar jane ki khushi mean mast tha. bhoore use ghar pahuanchane ki khushi mean mast tha. aur gho da tha panidar. u da chala ja raha tha. bat ki bat mean steshan a gaya.

gobar ne prasann ho kar ek rupaya kamar se nikal kar bhoore ki taraph badha kar kaha - lo, ghar valoan ke lie mithaee lete jana.

bhoore ne kritajnata-bhare tiraskar se usaki or dekha - tum mujhe gair samajhate ho bhaiya! ek din jara ekke par baith ge to maian tumase inam looanga. jahaan tumhara pasina gire, vahaan khoon girane ko taiyar hooan. itana chhota dil nahian paya hai. aur le bhi looan to gharavali mujhe jita n chho degi?

gobar ne phir kuchh n kaha, lajjit ho kar apana asabab utara aur tikat lene chal diya.
