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

sipahi ko apani lal pag di par, sundari ko apane gahanoan par aur vaidy ko apane samane baithe hue rogiyoan par jo ghamand hota hai, vahi kisan ko apane khetoan ko laharate hue dekhakar hota hai. jhiangur apane ookh ke khetoan ko dekhata, to us par nasha-sa chha jata. tin bighe ookh thi. isake 600 ru. to anayas hi mil jayeange. aur jo kahian bhagavanh ne da di tej kar di to phir kya poochhana ! donoan bail buddhe ho gaye. abaki nayi goee batesar ke mele se le ayega. kahian do bighe khet aur mil gaye, to likha lega. rupaye ki kya chianta. baniye abhi se usaki khushamad karane lage the. aisa koee n tha jisase usane gaanv mean l daee n ki ho. vah apane age kisi ko kuchh samajhata hi n tha.

ek din sandhya ke samay vah apane bete ko god mean lie matar ki phaliyaan to d raha tha. itane mean use bhe doan ka ek jhuand apani taraph ata dikhayi diya. vah apane man mean kahane laga- idhar se bhe doan ke nikalane ka rasta n tha. kya khet ki mean d par se bhe doan ka jhuand nahian ja sakata tha? bhe doan ko idhar se lane ki kya zaroorat? ye khet ko kuchaleangi, chareangi. isaka daan d kaun dega? maloom hota hai, buddhoo gaderiya hai. bacha ko ghamand ho gaya hai; tabhi to khetoan ke bich se bhe dean liye chala ata hai. jara isaki dhithaee to dekho. dekh raha hai ki maian kh da hooan, phir bhi bhe doan ko lautata nahian. kaun mere sath kabhi riayat ki hai ki maian isaki murauvat karooan? abhi ek bhe da mol maangooan to paanch hi rupaye sunavega. sari duniya mean char rupaye ke kambal bikate haian, par yah paanch rupaye se niche ki bat nahian karata.

itane mean bhe dean khet ke pas a gayian. jhiangur ne lalakarakar kaha- are, ye bhe d kahaan liye ate ho?

buddhoo namr bhav se bola- mahato, daan d par se nikal jayeangi. ghoomakar jaooanga to kos-bhar ka chakkar p dega.

jhiangur- to tumhara chakkar bachane ke lie maian apane khet kyoan kuchalavaooan? daan d hi par se le jana hai, to aur khetoan ke daan d se kyoan nahian le gaye? kya mujhe koee chooh d-chamar samajh liya hai? ya dhan ka ghamand ho gaya hai? lautao inako !

buddhoo- mahato, aj nikal jane do. phir kabhi idhar se aooan to jo saza chahe dena.

jhiangur- kah diya ki lautao inhean ! agar ek bhe d bhi me d par ayi to samajh lo, tumhari khair nahian.

buddhoo- mahato, agar tumhari ek bel bhi kisi bhe d ke pairoan-tale a jay, to mujhe baithakar sau galiyaan dena.

buddhoo batean to b di namrata se kar raha tha, kiantu lautane mean apani hethi samajhata tha. usane man mean socha, isi tarah jara-jara dhamakiyoan par bhe doan ko lautane laga, to phir maian bhe dean chara chuka. aj laut jaooan, to kal ko kahian nikalane ka rasta hi n milega. sabhi rob jamane lageange.

buddhoo bhi podha adami tha. 12 ko di bhe dean thian. unhean khetoan mean bithane ke lie fi rat ath ane ko di mazadoori milati thi, isake uparant doodh bechata tha; oon ke kambal banata tha. sochane laga- itane garam ho rahe haian, mera kar hi kya leange? kuchh inaka dabail to hooan nahian. bhe doan ne jo hari-hari pattiyaan dekhian, to adhir ho gayian. khet mean ghus p dian. buddhoo unhean dandoan se mar-marakar khet ke kinare hatata tha aur ve idhar-udhar se nikalakar khet mean ja p dati thian. jhiangur ne ag hokar kaha- tum mujhase hek di jatane chale ho, tumhari sari hek di nikal dooanga !

buddhoo- tumhean dekhakar chauankati haian. tum hat jao, to maian sabako nikal le jaooan.

jhiangur ne l dake ko to god se utar diya aur apana danda sanbhal kar bhe doan par pil p da. dhobi bhi itani nirdayata se apane gadhe ko n pitata hoga. kisi bhe d ki taang tooti, kisi ki kamar tooti. sabane bean-bean ka shor machana shuroo kiya. buddhoo chupachap kh da apani sena ka vidhvans apani aankhoan se dekhata raha. vah n bhe doan ko haankata tha, n jhiangur se kuchh kahata tha, bas kh da tamasha dekhata raha. do minat mean jhiangur ne is sena ko apane amanushik parakram se mar bhagaya. mesh-dal ka sanhar karake vijay-garv se bola- ab sidhe chale jao ! phir idhar se ane ka nam n lena.

buddhoo ne ahat bhe doan ki or dekhate hue kaha- jhiangur, tumane yah achchha kam nahian kiya. pachhataoge.

kele ko katana bhi itana asan nahian, jitana kisan se badala lena ! usaki sari kamaee khetoan mean rahati hai, ya khalihanoan mean. kitani hi daivik aur bhautik apadaoan ke bad kahian anaj ghar mean ata hai. aur jo kahian in apadaoan ke sath vidroh ne bhi sandhi kar li to bechara kisan kahian ka nahian rahata. jhiangur ne ghar akar doosaroan se is sangram ka vrittaant kaha, to log samajhane lage- jhiangur, tumane b da anarth kiya. janakar anajan banate ho. buddhoo ko janate nahian, kitana jhag daloo adami hai. ab bhi kuchh nahian big da. jakar use mana lo. nahian to tumhare sath sare gaanv par aphat a jayagi. jhiangur ki samajh mean bat ayi. pachhatane laga ki maianne kahaan se-kahaan use roka. agar bhe dean tho da-bahut char hi jatian, to kaun maian uj da jata tha. vastav mean ham kisanoan ka kalyan dabe rahane mean hi hai. eeshvar ko bhi hamara sir uthakar chalana achchha nahian lagata. ji to buddhoo ke ghar jane ko n chahata tha, kiantu doosaroan ke agrah se majaboor hokar chala. agahan ka mahina tha, kuhara p d raha tha, charoan or aandhakar chhaya hua tha. gaanv se bahar nikala hi tha ki sahasa apane ookh ke khet ki or agni ki jvala dekhakar chauank p da. chhati dh dakane lagi. khet mean ag lagi huee thi. betahasha dau da. manata jata tha ki mere khet mean n ho. par jyoan-jyoan samip pahuanchata tha, yah ashamay bhram shaant hota jata tha. vah anarth ho hi gaya, jisake nivaran ke lie vah ghar se chala tha. hatyare ne ag laga hi di, aur mere pichhe sare gaanv ko chaupat kiya. use aisa jan p data tha ki vah khet aj bahut samip a gaya hai, mano bich ke parati khetoan ka astitv hi nahian raha ! aant mean jab vah khet par pahuancha, to ag prachand roop dharan kar chuki thi. jhiangur ne ‘hay-hay’ machana shuroo kiya. gaanv ke log dau d p de aur khetoan se arahar ke paudhe ukha dakar ag ko pitane lage. agni-manav-sangram ka bhishan drishy upasthit ho gaya. ek pahar tak hahakar macha raha. kabhi ek prabal hota tha, kabhi doosara. agni-paksh ke yoddha mar-marakar ji uthate the aur dvigun shakti se, ranonmatt hokar shastrag-prahar karane lagate the. manav-paksh mean jis yoddha ki kirti sabase ujjval thi, vah buddhoo tha. buddhoo kamar tak dhoti chadhaye, pran hatheli par liye, agnirashi mean kood p data tha, aur shatruoan ko parast karake, bal-bal bachakar, nikal ata tha. ant mean manav-dal ki vijay huee; kintu aisi vijay jis par har bhi hansati. gaanv-bhar ki ookh jalakar bhasm ho gayi, aur ookh ke sath sari abhilashaean bhi bhasm ho gayian.

ag kisane lagayi yah khula hua bhed tha; par kisi ko kahane ka sahas n tha. koee saboot nahian. pramanahin tark ka mooly hi kya? jhiangur ko ghar se nikalana mushkil ho gaya. jidhar jata, tane sunane p date. log pratyaksh kahate the- yah ag tumane lagavayi. tumhian ne hamara sarvanash kiya. tumhian mare ghamand ke dharati par pair n rakhate the. ap-ke-ap gaye, apane sath gaanv-bhar ko dubo diya. buddhoo ko n chhe date to aj kyoan yah din dekhana p data? jhiangur ko apani barabadi ka itana duahkh n tha, jitana in jali-kati batoan ka? din-bhar ghar mean baitha rahata. poos ka mahina aya. jahaan sari rat kolhoo chala karate the, gu d ki sugandh u dati rahati thi, bhatthiyaan jalati rahati thian aur log bhatthiyoan ke samane baithe huqqa piya karate the, vahaan sannata chhaya hua tha. thand ke mare log saanjh hi se kiva dean band karake p d rahate aur jhiangur ko kosate. magh aur bhi kashtadayak tha. ookh keval dhanadata hi nahian, kisanoan ka jivanadata bhi hai. usi ke sahare kisanoan ka ja da katata hai. garam ras pite haian, ookh ki pattiyaan tapate haian, usake ago de pashuoan ko khilate haian. gaanv ke sare kutte jo rat ko bhatthiyoan ki rakh mean soya karate the thand se mar gaye. kitane hi janavar chare ke abhav se chal base. shit ka prakop hua aur sara gaanv khaansi-bukhar mean grast ho gaya. aur yah sari vipatti jhiangur ki karani thi- abhage, hatyare jhiangur ki !

jhiangur ne sochate-sochate nishchay kiya ki buddhoo ki dasha bhi apani hi si banaooanga. usake karan mera sarvanash ho gaya aur chain ki banshi baja raha hai ! maian bhi usaka sarvanash karooanga.

jis din is ghatak kalah ka bijaropan hua, usi din se buddhoo ne idhar ana chho d diya tha. jhiangur ne usase rabt-jabt badhana shuroo kiya. vah buddhoo ko dikhana chahata tha ki tumhare oopar mujhe bilakul sandeh nahian hai. ek din kambal lene ke bahane gaya. phir doodh lene ke bahane gaya. buddhoo usaka khoob adar-satkar karata. chilam to adami dushman ko bhi pila deta hai, vah use bina doodh aur sharabat pilaye n ane deta. jhiangur ajakal ek san lapetanevali kal mean mazadoori karane jaya karata tha. bahudha kee-kee dinoan ki mazadoori ikatthi milati thi. buddhoo hi ki tatparata se jhiangur ka rojana kharch chalata tha. atev jhiangur ne khoob rabt-jabt badha liya. ek din buddhoo ne poochha- kyoan jhiangur, agar apani ookh jalanevale ko pa jao, to kya karo? sach kahana.

jhiangur ne gambhir bhav se kaha- maian usase kahooan, bhaiya tumane jo kuchh kiya, bahut achchha kiya. mera ghamand to d diya; mujhe adami bana diya.

booddhoo- maian jo tumhari jagah hota, to bina usaka ghar jalaye n manata.

jhiangur- char din ki jiandagani mean bair-birodh badhane se kya fayada hai? maian to barabad hua hi, ab use barabad karake kya paooanga?

buddhoo- bas, yahi adami ka dharm hai. par bhaee krodh ke bas mean hokar buddhi ulati ho jati hai.

phagun ka mahina tha. kisan ookh bone ke lie khetoan ko taiyar kar rahe the. buddhoo ka bazar garam tha. bhe doan ki loot machi huee thi. do-char adami nity dvar par kh de khushamadean kiya karate. buddhoo kisi se sidhe muanh bat n karata. bhe d rakhane ki phis dooni kar di thi. agar koee etaraj karata to belag kahata- to bhaiya, bhe dean tumhare gale to nahian lagata hooan. ji n chahe, mat rakho. lekin maianne jo kah diya hai, usase ek kau di bhi kam nahian ho sakati ! garaj thi, log is rukhaee par bhi use ghere hi rahate the, mano pande kisi yatri ke pichhe hoan.

lakshmi ka akar to bahut b da nahian, aur vah bhi samayanusar chhota-b da hota rahata hai. yahaan tak ki kabhi vah apana virath akar samet kar use kagaz ke chand aksharoan mean chhipa leti hai. kabhi-kabhi manushy ki jihva par ja baithati hai; akar ka lop ho jata hai. kiantu unake rahane ko bahut sthan ki zaroorat hoti hai. vah ayi, aur ghar badhane laga. chhote ghar mean unase nahian raha jata. buddhoo ka ghar bhi badhane laga. dvar par baramada dala gaya, do ki jagah chhah kothariyaan banavayi gayian. yoan kahie ki makan naye sire se banane laga. kisi kisan se lak di maangi, kisi se khaparoan ka aanva lagane ke lie upale, kisi se baans aur kisi se sarakande. divar ki uthavayi deni p di. vah bhi nakad nahian; bhe doan ke bachchoan ke roop mean. lakshmi ka yah pratap hai. sara kam begar mean ho gaya. muft mean achchha-khasa ghar taiyar ho gaya. grih-pravesh ke utsav ki taiyariyaan hone lagian.

idhar jhiangur din-bhar mazadoori karata, to kahian adha pet ann milata. buddhoo ke ghar kanchan baras raha tha. jhiangur jalata tha, to kya bura karata tha ! yah anyay kisase saha jayaga?

ek din vah tahalata hua chamaroan ke tole ki taraph chala gaya. harihar ko pukara. harihar ne akar ‘ram-ram’ ki, aur chilam bhari. donoan pine lage. yah chamaroan ka mukhiya b da dusht adami tha. sab kisan isase thar-thar kaanpate the.

jhiangur ne chilam pite-pite kaha- ajakal phag-vag nahian hota kya? sunayi nahian deta.

harihar- phag kya ho, pet ke dhandhe se chhutti hi nahian milati. kaho, tumhari ajakal kaisi nibhati hai?

jhiangur- kya nibhati hai. nakata jiya bure haval ! din-bhar kal mean mazadoori karate haian, to choolha jalata hai. chaandi to ajakal buddhoo ki hai. rakhane ko thaur nahian milata. naya ghar bana, bhe dean aur li haian ! ab grihaparabes ki dhoom hai. satoan gaanv mean supari jayagi !

harihar- lachchhimi maiya ati hai, to adami ki aankhoan mean sil a jata hai. par usako dekho, dharati par pair nahian rakhata. bolata hai, to aianth hi kar bolata hai.

jhiangur- kyoan n aianthe, is gaanv mean kaun hai usaki takkar ka ! par yar, yah aniti to nahian dekhi jati. bhagavanh de, to sir jhukakar chalana chahie. yah nahian ki apane barabar kisi ko samajhe hi nahian. usaki diang sunata hooan, to badan mean ag lag jati hai. kal ka bani aj ka seth. chala hai hamian se ak dane. abhi kal langoti lagaye khetoan mean kaue hankaya karata tha, aj usaka asaman mean diya jalata hai.

harihar- kaho, to kuchh utajog karooan?

jhiangur- kya karoge ! isi dar se to vah gay-bhaians nahian palata.

harihar- bhe dean to haian.

jhiangur- kya, bagala mare pakhana hath.

harihar- phir tumhian socho.

jhiangur- aisi jugut nikalo ki phir panapane n pave.

isake bad phus-phus karake batean hone lagian. vah ek rahasy hai ki bhalaiyoan mean jitana dvesh hota hai, buraiyoan mean utana hi prem. vidvanh vidvanh ko dekhakar, sadhu sadhu ko dekhakar aur kavi kavi ko dekhakar jalata hai. ek doosare ki soorat nahian dekhana chahata. par juari juari ko dekhakar, sharabi sharabi ko dekhakar, chor chor ko dekhakar sahanubhooti dikhata hai, sahayata karata hai. ek panditaji agar aandhere mean thokar khakar gir p dean, to doosare panditaji unhean uthane ke badale do thokarean aur lagayeange ki vah phir uth hi n sakean. par ek chor par aphat ayi dekh doosara chor usaki madad karata hai. buraee se sab ghrina karate haian, isalie buroan mean paraspar prem hota hai. bhalaee ki sara sansar prashansa karata hai, isalie bhaloan se virodh hota hai. chor ko marakar chor kya payega? ghrina. vidvanh ka apaman karake vidvanh kya payega? yash.

jhiangur aur harihar ne salah kar li. shadyantr rachane ki vidhi sochi gayi. usaka svaroop, samay aur kram thik kiya gaya. jhiangur chala, to ak da jata tha. mar liya dushman ko, ab kahaan jata hai !

doosare din jhiangur kam par jane laga, to pahale buddhoo ke ghar pahuancha. buddhoo ne poochha- kyoan, aj nahian gaye kya?

jhiangur- ja to raha hooan. tumase yahi kahane aya tha ki meri bachhiya ko apani bhe doan ke sath kyoan nahian chara diya karate. bechari khooante se bandhi-bandhi mari jati hai. n ghas, n chara, kya khilayean?

buddhoo- bhaiya, maian gay-bhaians nahian rakhata. chamaroan ko janate ho, ek hi hatyare hote haian. isi harihar ne meri do guean mar dalian. n jane kya khila deta hai. tab se kan pak de ki ab gay-bhaians n palooanga. lekin tumhari ek hi bachhiya hai, usaka koee kya karega. jab chaho, pahuancha do.

yah kahakar buddhoo apane grihotsav ka saman use dikhane lage. ghi, shakkar, maida, tarakari sab manga rakha tha. keval satyanarayan ki katha ki der thi. jhiangur ki aankhean khul gayian. aisi taiyari n usane svayan kabhi ki thi aur n kisi ko karate dekhi thi. mazadoori karake ghar lauta, to sabase pahala kam jo usane kiya vah apani bachhiya ko buddhoo ke ghar pahuanchana tha. usi rat ko buddhoo ke yahaan satyanarayan ki katha huee. brahmabhoj bhi kiya gaya. sari rat viproan ka agat-svagat karate gujari. bhe doan ke jhuand mean jane ka avakash hi n mila. pratahkal bhojan karake utha hi tha (kyoanki rat ka bhojan sabere mila) ki ek adami ne akar khabar di- buddhoo, tum yahaan baithe ho, udhar bhe doan mean bachhiya mari p di hai ! bhale adami, usaki pagahiya bhi nahian kholi thi !

buddhoo ne suna, aur mano thokar lag gayi. jhiangur bhi bhojan karake vahian baitha tha. bola- hay-hay, meri bachhiya ! chalo, jara dekhooan to. maianne to pagahiya nahian lagayi thi. use bhe doan mean pahuanchakar apane ghar chala gaya. tumane yah pagahiya kab laga di?

buddhoo- bhagavanh jane jo maianne usaki pagahiya dekhi bhi ho. maian to tab se bhe doan mean gaya hi nahian.

jhiangur- jate n to pagahiya kaun laga deta? gaye hoge, yad n ati hogi.

ek brahman- mari to bhe doan mean hi n? duniya to yahi kahegi ki buddhoo ki asavadhani se usaki mrityu huee, pagahiya kisi ki ho.

harihar- maianne kal saanjh ko inhean bhe doan mean bachhiya ko baandhate dekha tha.

buddhoo- mujhe?

harihar- tum nahian lathi kandhe par rakhe bachhiya ko baandh rahe the?

buddhoo- b da sachcha hai too ! toone mujhe bachhiya ko baandhate dekha tha?

harihar- to mujh par kahe big date ho bhaee? tumane nahian baandhi, nahian sahi.

brahman- isaka nishchay karana hoga. gohatya ka prayashchitt karana p dega. kuchh hansi thattha hai.

jhiangur- maharaj, kuchh jan-boojhakar to baandhi nahian.

brahman- isase kya hota hai? hatya isi tarah lagati hai; koee goo ko marane nahian jata.

jhiangur- haan, goooan ko kholana-baandhana hai to jokhim ka kam.

brahman- shastroan mean ise mahapap kaha hai. goo ki hatya brahman ki hatya se kam nahian.

jhiangur- haan, phir goo to thahari hi. isi se n inaka man hota hai. jo mata, so goo. lekin maharaj, chook ho gayi. kuchh aisa kijie ki tho de mean bechara nipat jay?

buddhoo kh da sun raha tha ki anayas mere sir hatya madhi ja rahi hai. jhiangur ki kootaniti bhi samajh raha tha. maian lakh kahooan, maianne bachhiya nahian baandhi, manega kaun? log yahi kaheange ki prayashchitt se bachane ke lie aisa kah raha hai.

brahman devata ka bhi usaka prayashchitt karane mean kalyan hota tha. bhala aise avasar par kab chookane vale the. phal yah hua ki buddhoo ko hatya lag gayi. brahman bhi usase jale hue the. kasar nikalane ki ghat mili. tin mas ka bhiksha dand diya, phir sat tirthasthanoan ki yatra; us par 500 viproan ka bhojan aur 5 guoan ka dan. buddhoo ne suna, to badhiya baith gayi. rone laga, to dand ghatakar do mas kar diya. isake siva koee riayat nahian ho saki. n kahian apil, n kahian phariyad ! bechare ko yah dand svikar karana p da.

buddhoo ne bhe dean eeshvar ko sauanpi. l dake chhote the. stri akeli kya-kya karati. garib jakar dvaroan par kh da hota aur muanh chhipaye hue kahata- gay ki bachhi diya banavas. bhiksha to mil jati, kiantu bhiksha ke sath do-char kathor apamanajanak shabd bhi sunane p date. din ko jo-kuchh pata, vahi sham ko kisi pe d ke niche banakar kha leta aur vahian p d rahata. kasht ki to use parava n thi, bhe doan ke sath din-bhar chalata hi tha, pe d ke niche sota hi tha, bhojan bhi isase kuchh hi achchha milata tha par lajja thi bhiksha maangane ki. vishesh karake jab koee karkasha yah vyangy kar deti thi ki roti kamane ka achchha dhang nikala hai, to use hardik vedana hoti thi. par kare kya?

do mahine ke bad vah ghar lauta. bal badhe hue the. durbal itana, mano 60 varsh ka boodha ho. tirthayatra ke lie rupayoan ka prabandh karana tha, gadariyoan ko kaun mahajan karz de ! bhe doan ka bharosa kya? kabhi-kabhi rog phailata hai, to rat bhar mean dal-ka-dal saf ho jata hai. us par jeth ka mahina, jab bhe doan se koee amadani hone ki asha nahian. ek teli raji bhi hua, to do rupaye byaj par. ath mahine mean byaj mool ke barabar ho jayaga. yahaan karz lene ki himmat n p di. idhar do mahinoan mean kitani hi bhe dean chori chali gayi thian. l dake charane le jate the. doosare gaanv vale chupake se ek-do bhe dean kisi khet ya ghar mean chhipa dete aur pichhe marakar kha jate. l dake bechare ek to pak d n sakate, aur jo dekh bhi lete to l dean kyoankar. sara gaanv ek ho jata. ek mahine mean to bhe dean adhi bhi n raheangi. b di vikat samasya thi. vivash hokar buddhoo ne ek booch d ko bulaya aur sab bhe dean usake hath bech dalian. 500 ru. hath lage. usamean se 200 ru. lekar tirthayatra karane gaya. shesh rupaye brahmabhoj adi ke lie chho d gaya.

buddhoo ke jane par usake ghar mean do bar seandh lagi. par yah kushal huee ki jagahat ho jane ke karan rupaye bach gaye.

savan ka mahina tha. charoan or hariyali chhayi huee thi. jhiangur ke bail n the. khet bataee par de diye the. buddhoo prayashchitt se nivritt ho gaya tha aur usake sath hi maya ke phande se bhi. n jhiangur ke pas kuchh tha, n buddhoo ke pas. kaun kisase jalata aur kis lie jalata?

san ki kal band ho jane ke karan jhiangur ab beladari ka kam karata tha. shahar mean ek vishal dharmashala ban rahi thi. hajaroan mazadoor kam karate the. jhiangur bhi unhian mean tha. satavean din mazadoori ke paise lekaraghar ata tha aur rat-bhar rahakar sabere phir chala jata tha.

buddhoo bhi mazadoori ki toh mean yahian pahuancha. jamadar ne dekha durbal adami hai, kathin kam to isase ho n sakega, karigaroan ko gara dene ke lie rakh liya. buddhoo sir par tasala rakhe gara lene gaya, to jhiangur ko dekha. ‘ram-ram’ huee, jhiangur ne gara bhar diya, buddhoo utha laya. din-bhar donoan chupachap apana-apana kam karate rahe.

sandhya samay jhiangur ne poochha- kuchh banaoge n?

buddhoo- nahian to khaooanga kya?

jhiangur- maian to ek joon chabaina kar leta hooan. is joon sattoo par kat deta hooan. kaun jhanjhat kare.

buddhoo- idhar-udhar lak diyaan p di huee haian bator lao. ata maian ghar se leta aya hooan. ghar hi pisava liya tha. yahaan to b da mahanga milata hai. isi patthar ki chattan par ata gooandhe leta hooan. tum to mera banaya khaoge nahian, isalie tumhian rotiyaan seanko, maian bana dooanga.

jhiangur- tava bhi to nahian hai?

buddhoo- tave bahut haian. yahi gare ka tasala maanje leta hooan.

ag jali, ata gooandha gaya. jhiangur ne kachchi-pakki rotiyaan banayian. buddhoo pani laya. donoan ne lal mirch aur namak se rotiyaan khayian. phir chilam bhari gayi. donoan adami patthar ki siloan par lete, aur chilam pine lage.

buddhoo ne kaha- tumhari ookh mean ag maianne lagayi thi.

jhiangur ne vinod ke bhav se kaha- janata hooan.

tho di der bad jhiangur bola- bachhiya maianne hi baandhi thi aur harihar ne use kuchh khila diya tha.

buddhoo ne bhi vaise hi bhav se kaha- janata hooan.

phir donoan so gaye.
