{{#icon: Redirect-01.gif|dhyan dean}}upanyas samrat muanshi premachand ne 'dhikkar' namak shirshak se do kahaniyaan likhian hai, doosari padhane ke klik karean dhikkar (1)
eeran aur yoonan mean ghor sangram ho raha tha. eerani din-din badhate jate the aur yoonan ke lie sankat ka samana tha. desh ke sare vyavasay band ho gaye the, hal ki muthiya par hath rakhanevale kisan talavar ki muthiya pak dane ke lie majaboor ho gaye, dandi taulanevale bhale taulate the. sara desh atmaraksha ke lie taiyar ho gaya tha. phir bhi shatru ke qadam din-din age hi badhate jate the. jis eeran ko yoonan kee bar kuchal chuka tha, vahi eeran aj krodh ke aveg ki bhaanti sir par chadha ata tha. mard to ranakshetr mean sir kata rahe the aur striyaan din-din ki nirashajanak khabarean sunakar sookhi jati thian. kyoankar laj ki raksha hogi ? pran ka bhay n tha, sampatti ka bhay n tha, bhay tha maryada ka. vijeta garv se matavale hokar yoonani lalanaoan ko ghooreange, unake komal aangoan ko sparsh kareange, unako kaid kar le jayeange ! us vipatti ki kalpana hi se in logoan ke royean kh de ho jate the.

akhir jab halat bahut najuk ho gayi to kitane hi stri-purush mil kar delphi mandir mean gaye aur prashn kiya- devi, hamare oopar devataoan ki yah vakr drishti kyoan hai ? hamase aisa kaun-sa aparadh hua hai ? kya hamane niyamoan ka palan nahian kiya, kurabaniyaan nahian kian, vrat nahian rakhe ? phir devataoan ne kya hamare siroan se apani raksha ka hath utha liya ?

pujarin ne kaha- devataoan ki asim kripa bhi desh ko drohi ke hath se nahian bacha sakati. is desh mean avashy koee-n-koee drohi hai. jab tak usaka vadh n kiya jayaga, desh ke sir se yah sankat n talega.

‘devi, vah drohi kaun hai ?’

‘jis ghar se rat ko gane ki dhvani ati ho, jis ghar se din ko sugandh ki lapatean ati hoan, jis purush ki aankhoan mean mad ki lali jhalakati ho, vahi desh ka drohi hai.’

logoan ne drohi ka parichay pane ke lie aur bhi kitane hi prashn kiye; par devi ne koee uttar n diya.

yoonaniyoan ne drohi ki talash karani shuroo ki. kinake ghar mean se rat ko gane ki avajean ati haian sare shahar mean sandhya hote syapa-sa chha jata tha. agar kahian avajean sunayi deti thian to rone ki; hansi aur gane ki avaj kahian n sunayi deti thi.

din ko sugandh ki lapatean kis ghar se ati haian ? log jidhar jate the, udhar se durgandh ati thi. galiyoan mean koo de ke dher-ke-dher p de rahate the, kise itani phurasat thi ki ghar ki saphaee karata, ghar mean sugandh jalata; dhobiyoan ka abhav tha, adhikaansh l dane ke lie chale gaye the, kap de tak n dhulate the; itr -phulel kaun malata !

kisaki aankhoan mean mad ki lali jhalakati hai ? lal aankhean dikhaee deti thian; lekin yah mad ki lali n thi, yah aansuoan ki lali thi. madira ki dookanoan par khak u d rahi thi. is jivan aur mrityu ke sangram mean vilas ki kise soojhata ! logoan ne sara shahar chhan mara lekin ek bhi aankh aisi najar n ayi jo mad se lal ho.

kee din gujar gaye. shahar mean pal-pal par ranakshetr se bhayanak khabarean ati thian aur logoan ke pran sookhe jate the.

adhi rat ka samay tha. shahar mean aandhakar chhaya hua tha, mano shmashan ho. kisi ki soorat n dikhaee deti thi. jin natyashalaoan mean til rakhane ki jagah n milati thi, vahaan siyar bol rahe the. jin bazaroan mean manachale javan astr -shastras sajaye aianthate phirate the, vahaan ulloo bol rahe the. mandiroan mean n gana hota tha n bajana. prasadoan mean aandhakar chhaya hua tha.

ek boodha yoonani jisaka ikalauta l daka l daee ke maidan mean tha, ghar se nikala aur n-jane kin vicharoan ki tarang mean devi ke mandir ki or chala. raste mean kahian prakash n tha, kadam-kadam par thokarean khata tha; par age badhata chala jata. usane nishchay kar liya tha ki ya to aj devi se vijay ka varadan looanga ya unake charanoan par apane ko bheant kar dooanga.

sahasa vah chauank p da. devi ka mandir a gaya tha. aur usake pichhe ki or kisi ghar se madhur sangit ki dhvani a rahi thi. usako ashchary hua. is nirjan sthan mean kaun is vakt rangareliyaan mana raha hai. usake pairoan mean par-se lag gaye, mandir ke pichhava de ja pahuancha.

usi ghar se jisamean mandir ki pujarin rahati thi, gane ki avajean ati thian ! vriddh vismit hokar khi daki ke samane kh da ho gaya. chirag tale aandhera ! devi ke mandir ke pichhava de yah aandher ?

boodhe ne dvar se jhaanka; ek saje hue kamare mean momabattiyaan jha doan mean jal rahi thian, saph-suthara pharsh bichha hua tha aur ek adami mej par baitha hua ga raha tha. mej par sharab ki botal aur pyaliyaan rakhi huee thian. do gulam mej ke samane hath mean bhojan ke thal lie kh de the, jinamean se manohar sugandh ki lapatean a rahi thian.

boodhe yoonani ne chillakar kaha- yahi deshadrohi hai, yahi deshadrohi hai !

mandir ki divaroan ne duharaya- drohi hai !

bagiche ki taraph se avaj ayi- drohi hai !

mandir ki pujarin ne ghar mean se sir nikalakar kaha- haan, drohi hai !

yah deshadrohi usi pujarin ka beta pasoniyas tha. desh mean raksha ke jo upay soche jate, shatruoan ka daman karane ke lie jo nishchay kiye jate, unaki soochana vah eeraniyoan ko de diya karata tha. senaoan ki pratyek gati ki khabar eeraniyoan ko mil jati thi aur un prayatnoan ko viphal banane ke lie ve pahale se taiyar ho jate the. yahi karan tha ki yoonaniyoan ko jan l da dene par bhi vijay n hoti thi. isi kapat se kamaye huye dhan se vah bhog-vilas karata tha. us samay jabaki desh mean ghor sankat p da hua tha, usane apane svadesh ko apani vasanaoan ke lie bech diya tha. apane vilas ke siva use aur kisi bat ki chianta n thi, koee mare ya jiye, desh rahe ya jay, usaki bala se. keval apane kutil svarth ke lie desh ki garadan mean gulami ki be diyaan dalavane par taiyar tha. pujarin apane bete ke duracharan se anabhijn thi. vah apani aandheri kothari se bahut kam nikalati, vahian baithi jap-tap kiya karati thi. paralok-chiantan mean use ihalok ki khabar n thi, manendriyoan ne bahar ki chetana ko shoony-sa kar diya tha. vah is samay bhi kothari ke dvar band kiye, devi se apane desh ke kalyan ke lie vandana kar rahi thi ki sahasa usake kanoan mean avaj ayi- yahi drohi hai, yahi drohi hai !

usane turant dvar kholakar bahar ki or jhaanka, pasoniyas ke kamare se prakash ki rekhaean nikal rahi thian aur unhian rekhaoan par sangit ki laharean nach rahi thian. usake pair-tale se zamin-si nikal gayi, kaleja dhakh-se ho gaya. eeshvar ! kya mera beta deshadrohi hai ?

ap-hi-ap, kisi aantahprerana se parabhoot hokar vah chilla uthi- haan, yahaan deshadrohi hai !

yoonani stri-purush jhuand-ke-jhuand um d p de aur pasoniyas ke dvar par kh de ho kar chillane lage- yahi deshadrohi hai !

pasoniyas ke kamare ki roshani thandi ho gayi, sangit bhi band tha; lekin dvar par pratikshan nagaravasiyoan ka samooh badhata jata tha aur rah-rahakar sahasro kanthoan se dhvani nikalati thi- yahi deshadrohi hai !

logoan ne mashalean jalayian aur apane lathi-dande sanbhalakar makan mean ghus p de. koee kahata tha- sir utar lo. koee kahata tha- devi ke charanoan par balidan kar do. kuchh log use kothe se niche gira dene par agrah kar rahe the.

pasoniyas samajh gaya ki ab musibat ki gh di sir par a gayi. turant jine se utarakar niche ki or bhaga. aur kahian sharan ki asha n dekhakar devi ke mandir mean ja ghusa.

ab kya kiya jay ? devi ki sharan janevale ko abhay-dan mil jata tha. parampara se yahi pratha thi ? mandir mean kisi ki hatya karana mahapap tha.

lekin deshadrohi ko itane saste kaun chho data ? bhaanti-bhaanti ke prastav hone lage-

‘suar ka hath pak dakar bahar khianch lo.’

‘aise deshadrohi ka vadh karane ke lie devi hamean kshama kar deangi.’

‘devi, ap use kyoan nahian nigal jatian ?’

‘pattharoan se maro, pattharoan se; ap nikalakar bhagega.’

‘nikalata kyoan nahian re kayar ! vahaan kya muanh mean kalikh lagakar baitha hua hai ?

rat bhar yahi shor machata raha aur pasoniyas n nikala. akhir yah nishchay hua ki mandir ki chhat khodakar pheank di jay aur pasoniyas dopahar ki tej dhoop aur rat ki k dake ki saradi se ap hi ap ak d jay. bas phir kya tha. an ki an mean logoan ne mandir ki chhat aur kalas dha diye.

abhaga pasoniyas din-bhar tej dhoop mean kh da raha. use zor ki pyas lagi; lekin pani kahaan ? bhookh lagi, par khana kahaan ? sari zamin tave ki bhaanti jalane lagi; lekin chhaanh kahaan ? itana kasht use jivan-bhar mean n hua tha. machhali ki bhaanti t dapata tha aur chilla-chillakar logoan ko pukarata tha; magar vahaan koee usaki pukar sunanevala n tha. bar-bar kasamean khata tha ki ab phir mujhase aisa aparadh n hoga; lekin koee usake nikat n ata tha. bar-bar chahata tha ki divar se takarakar pran de de; lekin yah asha rok deti thi ki shayad logoan ko mujh par daya a jay. vah pagaloan ki tarah jor-jor se kahane laga- mujhe mar dalo, mar dalo, ek kshan mean pran le lo, is bhaanti jala-jalakar n maro. o hatyaro, tumako jara bhi daya nahian.

din bita aur rat- bhayankar rat- ayi. oopar taragan chamak rahe the mano usaki vipatti par hans rahe hoan. jyoan-jyoan rat bhigati thi devi vikaral roop dharan karati jati thi. kabhi vah usaki or muanh kholakar lapakati, kabhi use jalati huee aankhoan se dekhati. udhar kshan-kshan saradi badhati jati thi, pasoniyas ke hath-paanv ak dane lage, kaleja kaanpane laga. ghutanoan mean sir rakh kar baith gaya aur apani kismat ko rone laga; kurate ko khianchakar kabhi pairoan ko chhipata, kabhi hathoan ko, yahaan tak ki is khianchatani mean kurata bhi phat gaya. adhi rat jate-jate barf girane lagi. dopahar ko usane socha garami hi sabase kashtadayak hai. is thand ke samane use garami ki takaliph bhool gayi.

akhir sharir mean garami lane ke lie ek hikamat soojhi. vah mandir mean idhar-udhar dau dane laga. lekin vilasi jiv tha, jara der mean haanphakar gir p da.

pratahkal logoan ne kiva d khole to pasoniyas ko bhoomi par p de dekha. maloom hota tha, usaka sharir ak d gaya hai. bahut chikhane-chillane par usane aankhean kholian; par jagah se hil n saka. kitani dayaniy dasha thi, kiantu kisi ko us par daya n ayi. yoonan mean deshadroh sabase b da aparadh tha aur drohi ke lie kahian kshama n thi, kahian daya n thi.

ek- abhi mara nahian hai ?

doosara- drohiyoan ko maut nahian ati !

tisara- p da rahane do, mar jayaga !

chautha- makr kiye hue hai ?

paanchavaan- apane kiye ki saza pa chuka, ab chho d dena chahie !

sahasa pasoniyas uth baitha aur uddand bhav se bola- kaun kahata hai ki ise chho d dena chahie ! nahian, mujhe mat chho dana, varana pachhataoge ! maian svarthi hooan; vishay-bhogi hooan, mujh par bhoolakar bhi vishvas n karana. ah ! mere karan tum logoan ko kya-kya jhelana p da, ise sochakar mera ji chahata hai ki apani iandriyoan ko jalakar bhasm kar dooan. maian agar sau janm lekar is pap ka prayashchitt karooan, to bhi mera uddhar n hoga. tum bhool kar bhi mera vishvas n karo. mujhe svayan apane oopar vishvas nahian. vilas ke premi saty ka palan nahian karate. maian ab bhi apaki kuchh seva kar sakata hooan, mujhe aise-aise gupt rahasy maloom haian, jinhean janakar ap eeraniyoan ka sanhar kar sakate haian; lekin mujhe apane oopar vishvas nahian hai aur apase bhi yah kahata hooan ki mujh par vishvas n kijie. aj rat ko devi ki maianne sachche dil se vandana ki hai aur unhoanne mujhe aise yantr bataye haian, jinase ham shatruoan ko parast kar sakate haian, eeraniyoan ke badhate hue dal ko aj bhi an ki an mean u da sakate haian. lekin mujhe apane oopar vishvas nahian hai. maian yahaan se bahar nikalakar in batoan ko bhool jaooanga. bahut sanshay hai ki phir eeraniyoan ki gupt sahayata karane lagooan, isalie mujh par vishvas n kijie.

ek yoonani- dekho-dekho, kya kahata hai ?

doosara- sachcha adami maloom hota hai.

tisara- apane aparadhoan ko ap svikar kar raha hai.

chautha- ise kshama kar dena chahie aur yah sab batean poochh leni chahie.

paanchavaan- dekho, yah nahian kahata ki mujhe chho d do. hamako bar-bar yad dilata jata hai ki mujh par vishvas n karo !

chhatha- rat-bhar ke kasht ne hosh thande kar diye, ab aankhean khuli haian.

pasoniyas- kya tum log mujhe chho dane ki batachit kar rahe ho ? maian phir kahata hooan, ki maian vishvas ke yogy nahian hooan. maian drohi hooan. mujhe eeraniyoan ke bahut-se bhed maloom haian, ek bar unaki sena mean pahuanch jaooan to unaka mitr banakar sarvanash kar dooan; par mujhe apane oopar vishvas nahian hai.

ek yoonani- dhokhebaj itani sachchi bat nahian kah sakata !

doosara- pahale svarthaandh ho gaya tha; par ab aankhean khuli haian !

tisara- deshadrohi se bhi apane matalab ki batean maloom kar lene mean koee hani nahian hai. agar vah apane vachan poore kare to hamean ise chho d dena chahie.

chautha- devi ki prerana se isaki kayapalat huee hai.

paanchavaan- papiyoan mean bhi atma ka prakash rahata hai aur kasht pakar jagrat ho jata hai. yah samajhana ki jisane ek bar pap kiya, vah phir kabhi puny kar hi nahian sakata, manav-charitr ke ek pradhan tatv ka apavad karana hai.

chhatha- ham isako yahaan se gate-bajate le chaleange. jan-samooh ko chakama dena kitana asan hai. janasattavad ka sabase nirbal aang yahi hai. janata to nek aur bad ki tamij nahian rakhati. us par dhoortoan, range-siyaroan ka jadoo asani se chal jata hai. abhi ek din pahale jis pasoniyas ki garadan par talavar chalayi ja rahi thi, usi ko juloos ke sath mandir se nikalane ki taiyariyaan hone lagian, kyoanki vah dhoort tha ki janata ki kil kyoankar ghumayi ja sakati hai.

ek stri- gane-bajanevaloan ko bulao, pasoniyas sharif hai.

doosari- haan-haan, pahale chalakar usase kshama maango, hamane usake sath zaroorat se zyada sakhti ki.

pasoniyas- ap logoan ne poochha hota to maian kal hi sari batean apako bata deta, tab apako maloom hota ki mujhe mar dalana uchit hai ya jita rakhana.

kee stri-purush- hay-hay, hamase b di bhool huee. hamare sachche pasoniyas !

sahasa ek vriddha stri kisi taraph se dau di huee ayi aur mandir ke sabase ooanche jine par kh di hokar boli- tum logoan ko kya ho gaya hai ? yoonan ke bete aj itane jnanashoony ho gaye haian ki jhoothe aur sachche mean vivek nahian kar sakate ? tum pasoniyas par vishvas karate ho ? jis pasoniyas ne saik doan striyoan aur balakoan ko anath kar diya, saik doan gharoan mean koee diya jalane vala n chho da, hamare devataoan ka, hamare purushoan ka, ghor apaman kiya, usaki do-char chikani-chup di batoan par tum itane phool uthe. yad rakho, abaki pasoniyas bahar nikala to phir tumhari kushal nahian. yoonan par eeran ka rajy hoga aur yoonani lalanaean eeraniyoan ki kudrishti ka shikar baneangi. devi ki ajna hai ki pasoniyas phir bahar n nikalane paye. agar tumhean apana desh pyara hai, apane purushoan ka nam pyara hai, apani mataoan aur bahunoan ki abaroo pyari hai to mandir ke dvar ko chun do. jisase deshadrohi ko phir bahar nikalane aur tum logoan ko bahakane ka mauqa n mile. yah dekho, pahala patthar maian apane hathoan se rakhati hooan.

logoan ne vismit hokar dekha- yah mandir ki pujarin aur pasoniyas ki mata thi.

dam ke dam mean pattharoan ke dher lag gaye aur mandir ka dvar chun diya gaya. pasoniyas bhitar daant pisata rah gaya.

vir mata, tumhean dhany hai ! aisi hi mataoan se desh ka mukh ujjval hota hai, jo desh-hit ke samane matri-sneh ki dhool-barabar paravah nahian karatian ! unake putr desh ke lie hote haian, desh putr ke lie nahian hota.

sanbandhit lekh
