chaandani rat, samir ke sukhad jhoanke, suramy udyan. kuanvar amaranath apani vistirn chhat par lete hue manorama se kah rahe the- tum ghabarao nahian, maian jald aooanga.

manorama ne unaki or katar netroan se dekhakar kaha- mujhe kyoan nahian lete chalate ?

amaranath- tumhean vahaan kasht hoga, maian kabhi yahaan rahooanga, kabhi vahaan, sare din mara-mara phirooanga, paha di desh hai, jangal aur bih d ke sivay basti ka kosoan pata nahian, un par bhayankar pashuoan ka bhay, tumase yah takaliphean n sahi jayangi.

manorama- tum bhi to in takaliphoan ke adi nahian ho.

amaranath- maian purush hooan, avashyakata p dane par sabhi takaliphoan ka samana kar sakata hooan.

manorama- (garv se) maian bhi stri hooan, avashyakata p dane par ag mean kood sakati hooan. striyoan ki komalata purushoan ki kavy-kalpana hai. unamean sharirik samarthy chahe n ho par unamean yah dhairy aur sahas hai jis par kal ki dushchiantaoan ka jara bhi asar nahian hota.

amaranath ne manorama ko shraddhamay drishti se dekha aur bole- yah maian manata hooan, lekin jis kalpana ko ham chirakal se pratyaksh samajhate aye haian vah ek kshan mean nahian mit sakati. tumhari takaliph mujhase n dekhi jayegi, mujhe duahkh hoga. dekho is samay chaandani mean kitani bahar hai !

manorama- mujhe bahalao mat. maian hath nahian karati, lekin yahaan mera jivan apadh ho jayega. mere hriday ki dasha vichitr hai. tumhean apane samane n dekh kar mere man mean tarah-tarah ki shankaean hoti haian ki kahian chot n lag gayi ho, shikar khelane jate ho to darati hooan kahian gho de ne shararat n ki ho. mujhe anisht ka bhay sadaiv sataya karata hai.

amaranath- lekin maian to vilas ka bhakt hooan. mujh par itana anurag karake tum apane oopar anyay karati ho.

manorama ne amaranath ko dabi huee drishti se dekha jo kah rahi thi- maian tumako tumase zyada pahachanati hooan.

buandelakhand mean bhishan durbhiksh tha. log vrikshoan ki chhalean chhil-chhil kar khate the. kshudha-pi da ne bhakshyabhakshy ki pahachan mita di thi. pashuoan ka to kahana hi kya, manav santanean kau diyoan ke mol bikati thian. padariyoan ki chadh bani thi, unake anathalayoan mean nity gol ke gol bachche bhean doan ki bhaanti haanke jate the. maan ki mamata mutthi bhar anaj par kurban ho jati. kuanvar amaranath kashi-seva-samiti ke vyavasthapak the. samachar-patroan mean yah romaanchakari samachar dekhe to t dap uthe. samiti ke kee navayuvakoan ko sath liya aur buandelakhand ja pahuanche. manorama ko vachan diya ki pratidin patr likheange aur yathasambhav jald laut ayeange.

ek saptah tak to unhoanne apana vachan palan kiya, lekin shanaiah-shanaiah patroan mean vilamb hone laga. aksar ilake dakaghar se bahut door p date the. yahaan se nityaprati patr bhejane ka prabandh karana duahsadhy tha.

manorama viyog-duahkh se vikal rahane lagi. vah avyavasthit dasha mean udas baithi rahati, kabhi niche ati, kabhi oopar jati, kabhi bag mean ja baithati. jab tak patr n a jata vah isi bhaanti vyagr rahati, patr milate hi sookhe dhan mean pani p d jata.

lekin jab patroan ke ane mean der hone lagi to usaka viyog-vikal-hriday adhir ho gaya. bar-bar pachhatati ki maian nahak unake kahane mean a gayi, mujhe unake sath jana chahie tha. use kitaboan se prem tha par ab unaki or takane ka bhi ji n chahata. vinod ki vastuoan se use aruchi-si ho gayi ! is prakar ek mahina gujar gaya.

ek din usane svapn dekha ki amaranath dvar par nange sir, nange pair, kh de ro rahe haian. vah ghabara kar uth baithi aur ugravastha mean dau di dvar tak ayi. yahaan ka sannata dekh kar use hosh a gaya. usi dam munim ko jagaya aur kuanvar sahab ke nam tar bheja. kiantu javab n aya. sara din gujar gaya magar koee javab nahian. doosari rat bhi gujari lekin javab ka pata n tha. manorama nirjal, nirahar moorchchhit dasha mean apane kamare mean p di rahati. jise dekhati usi se poochhati javab aya ? koee dvar par avaz deta to dau di huee jati aur poochhati kuchh javab aya ?

usake man mean vividh shankaean uthatian; lauandiyoan se svapn ka ashay poochhati. svapnoan ke karan aur vivechana par kee granth padh dale, par kuchh rahasy n khula. lauandiyaan use dilasa dene ke lie kahatian, kuanvar ji kushal se haian. svapn mean kisi ko nange pair dekhean to samajho vah gho de par savar hai. ghabarane ki koee bat nahian. lekin rama ko is bat se taskin n hoti. use tar ke javab ki rat lagi huee thi, yahaan tak ki char din gujar ge.

kisi muhalle mean madari ka a jana balavrind ke lie ek mahattv ki bat hai. usake damaroo ki avaz mean khoanchevale ki kshudhavardhak dhvani se bhi adhik akarshan hota hai. isi prakar muhalle mean kisi jyotishi ka a jana marake ki bat hai. ek kshan mean isaki khabar ghar-ghar phail jati hai. sas apani bahoo ko liye a pahuanchati hai, mata bhagyahin kanya ko le kar a jati hai. jyotishi ji duahkh-sukh ki avasthanusar varsha karane lagate haian. unaki bhavishyavaniyoan mean b da goodh rahasy hota hai. unaka bhagy nirman bhagy-rekhaoan se bhi jatil aur durgrahy hota hai. sanbhav hai ki vartaman shiksha vidhan ne jyotish ka adar kuchh kam kar diya ho par jyotishi ji ke mahatmy mean jara kami nahian huee. unaki batoan par chahe kisi ko vishvas n ho par sunana sabhi chahate haian. unake ek-ek shabdoan mean asha aur bhay ko uttejit karane ki shakti bhari rahati hai, visheshatah usaki amangal soochana to vajrapat ke tuly hai, ghatak aur dagdhakari.

tar bheje hue aj paanchavaan din tha ki kuanvar sahab ke dvar par ek jyotishi ka agaman hua. tatkal muhalle ki mahilaean jama ho gayian. jyotishi ji bhagy-vivechan karane lage, kisi ko rulaya, kisi ko hansaya. manorama ko khabar mili. unhean turant aandar bula bheja aur svapn ka ashay poochha.

jyotishi ji ne idhar-udhar dekha, panne ke panne ulte, uangaliyoan par kuchh gina, par kuchh nishchay n kar sake ki kya uttar dena chahie, bole- kya sarakar ne yah svapn dekha hai ?

manorama boli- nahian, meri ek sakhi ne dekha hai, maian kahati hooan, yah amangalasoochak hai. vah kahati hai, mangalamay hai. ap isaki kya vivechana karate haian ?

jyotishi ji phir bagalean jhaankane lage. unhean amaranath ki yatra ka hal n maloom tha aur n itani muhalat hi mili thi ki yahaan ane ke poorv vah avasthajnan prapt kar lete jo anuman ke sath mil kar janata mean jyotish ke nam se prasiddh hai. jo prashn poochha tha usaka bhi kuchh sootrasoochak uttar n mila. nirash ho kar manorama ke samarthan karane hi mean apana kalyan dekha. bole sarakar jo kahati haian vahi saty hai. yah svapn amangalasoochak hai.

manorama kh di sitar ke tar ki bhaanti thar-thar kaanpane lagi. jyotishi ji ne us amangal ka udghatan karate hue kaha- unake pati par koee mahanh sankat anevala hai, unaka ghar nash ho jayaga, vah desh-videsh mare-mare phireange.

manorama ne divar ka sahara le kar kaha bhagavanh, meri raksha karo aur moorchchhit ho kar zamin par gir p di.

jyotishi ji ab chete. samajh gaye ki b da dhokha khaya. ashvasan dene lage, ap kuchh chianta n karean. maian us sankat ka nivaran kar sakata hooan. mujhe ek bakara, kuchh lauang aur kachcha dhaga manga dean. jab kuanvar ji ke yahaan se kushal-samachar a jay to jo dakshina chahean de dean. kam kathin hai par bhagavanh ki daya se asadhy nahian hai. sarakar dekhean mujhe b de-b de hakimoan ne sartiphiket diye haian. abhi dipti sahab ki kanya bimar thi. daktaroan ne javab de diya tha. maianne yantr diya, baithe-baithe aankhean khul gayian. kal ki bat hai, seth chandoolal ke yahaan se rok d ki ek thaili u d gayi thi, kuchh pata n chalata tha, maianne sagun vichara aur bat ki bat mean chor pak d liya. unake munim ka kam tha, thaili jyoan ki tyoan nikal ayi.

jyotishi ji to apani siddhiyoan ki sarahana kar rahe the aur manorama achet p di huee thi.

akasmath vah uth baithi, munim ko bulakar kaha yatra ki taiyari karo, maian sham ki ga di se buandelakhand jaooangi.

manorama ne steshan par a kar amaranath ko tar diya ‘‘maian a rahi hooan.’’ unake aantim patr se jnat hua tha ki vah kabaree mean haian, kabaree ka tikat liya. lekin kee dinoan se jagaran kar rahi thi. ga di par baithate hi niand a gayi aur niand ate hi anisht shanka ne ek bhishan svapn ka roop dharan kar liya.

usane dekha samane ek agam sagar hai, usamean ek tooti huee nauka halakorean khati bahati chali jati hai. us par n koee mallah hai n pal, n daandean. tarangean use kabhi oopar le jati haian kabhi niche, sahasa us par ek manushy drishtigochar hua. yah amaranath the, nange sir, nange pair, aankhoan se aansoo bahate hue. manorama thar-thar kaanp rahi thi. jan p data tha nauka ab doobi aur ab doobi. usane zor se chikh mari aur jag p di. sharir pasine se tar tha, chhati dh dak rahi thi. vah turant uth baithi, hath-muanh dhoya aur isaka irada kiya ab n soooangi ! ha ! kitana bhayavah drishy tha. param pita ! ab tumhara hi bharosa hai. unaki raksha karo.

usane khi daki se sir nikalakar dekha. akash par taragan dau d rahe the. gh di dekhi, barah baje the, usako ashchary hua maian itani der tak soyi. abhi to ek jhapaki bhi poori n hone payi.

usane ek pustak utha li aur vicharoan ko ekagr kar padhane lagi. itane mean prayag a pahuancha, ga di badali. usane phir kitab kholi aur uchch svar se padhane lagi. lekin kee dinoan ki jagi aankhean ichchha ke adhin nahian hotian. baithe-baithe jhapakiyaan lene lagi, aankhean band ho gayian aur ek doosara drishy samane upasthit ho gaya.

usane dekha, akash se mila hua ek parvat-shikhar hai. usake oopar ke vriksh chhote-chhote paudhoan ke sadrish dikhaee dete haian. shyamavarn ghataean chhayi huee haian, bijali itane zor se k dakati hai ki kan ke parade phate jate haian, kabhi yahaan girati hai kabhi vahaan. shikhar par ek manushy nange sir baitha hua hai, usaki aankhoan ka ashru-pravah saf dikh raha hai. manorama dahal uthi, yah amaranath the. vah parvat shikhar se utarana chahate the lekin marg n milata tha. bhay se unaka mukhavarn shoony ho raha tha. akasmath ek bar bijali ka bhayankar nad sunayi diya, ek jvala-si dikhayi di aur amaranath adrishy ho gaye. manorama ne phir chikh mari aur jag p di. usaka hriday baansoan uchhal raha tha, mastishk chakkar khata tha. jagate hi usaki aankhoan mean jal-pravah hone laga. vah uth kh di huee aur kar jo d kar eeshvar se vinay karane lagi eeshvar mujhe aise bure-bure svapn dikhaee de rahe haian, n jane un par kya bit rahi hai, tum dinoan ke bandhu ho, mujh par daya karo, mujhe dhan aur sampatti ki ichchha nahian, maian jhop di mean khush rahooangi, maian keval unaki shubhakamana rakhati hooan. meri itani prarthana svikar karo.

vah phir apani jagah par baith gayi. arunoday ki manoram chhata aur shital sukhad samir ne use akarshit kar liya. use santosh hua, kisi tarah rat kat gayi, ab to niand n ayegi. parvatoan se manohar drishy dikhayi dene lage, kahian paha diyoan par bhean doan ke galle, kahian paha diyoan ke daman mean mrigoan ke jhuand, kahian kamal ke phooloan se laharate sagar. manorama ek ardhasmriti ki dasha mean in drishyoan ko dekhati rahi. lekin phir n jane kab usaki abhagi aankhean jhapak gayian.

usane dekha amaranath gho de par savar ek pul par chale jate haian. niche nadi um di huee hai, pul bahut tang hai, gho da rah-rah kar bidakata hai aur alag ho jata hai. manorama ke hath-paanv phool gaye. vah uchch-svar se chilla-chilla kar kahane lagi gho de se utar p do, gho de se utar p do, yah kahate hue vah unaki taraph jhapati, aankhean khul gayian. ga di kisi steshan ke pletapharm se sanasanati chali jati thi. amaranath nange sir, nange pair pletapharm par kh de the. manorama ki aankhoan mean abhi tak vahi bhayankar svapn samaya hua tha. kuanvar ko dekh kar use bhay hua ki vah gho de se gir p de aur niche nadi mean phisalana chahate haian. usane turant unhean pak dane ke lie hath phailaya aur jab unhean n pa saki to usi sushuptavastha mean usane ga di ka dvar khola aur kuanvar sahab ki or hath phailaye hue ga di ke bahar nikal ayi. tab vah chauanki, jan p da kisi ne utha kar akash se bhoomi par patak diya, zor se ek dhakka laga aur chetana shoony ho gayi.

vah kabaree ka steshan tha. amaranath tar pa kar steshan par aye the. magar yah dak thi, vahaan n thaharati thi, manorama ko hath phailaye ga di se girate dekh kar vah ‘haan haan’ karate hue lapake lekin karmalekh poora ho chuka tha. manorama premavedi par balidan ho chuki thi.

isake tisare din vah nange sir, nange pair bhagnahriday ghar pahuanche. manorama ka svapn sachcha hua.

us premavihin sthan mean ab kaun rahata. unhoanne apani sampoorn sampatti kashi-seva samiti ko pradan kar di aur ab nange sir, nange pair, virakt dasha mean desh-videsh ghoomate rahate haian. jyotishi ji ki vivechana bhi charitarth ho gayi.

sanbandhit lekh
