vajidali shah ka samay tha. lakhanoo vilasita ke rang mean dooba hua tha. chhote-b de, garib-amir sabhi vilasita mean doobe hue the. koee nrity aur gan ki majalis sajata tha, to koee aphim ki pinak hi mean maje leta tha. jivan ke pratyek vibhag mean amod-pramod ka pradhany tha. shasan-vibhag mean, sahity-kshetr mean, samajik avastha mean, kala-kaushal mean, udyog-dhandhoan mean, ahar-vyavahar mean sarvatr vilasita vyapt ho rahi thi. rajakarmachari vishay-vasana mean, kavigan prem aur virah ke varnan mean, karigar kalabattoo aur chikan banane mean, vyavasayi surame, itr , missi aur ubatan ka rozagar karane mean lipt the. sabhi ki aankhoan mean vilasita ka mad chhaya hua tha. sansar mean kya ho raha hai, isaki kisi ko khabar n thi. bater l d rahe haian. titaroan ki l daee ke lie pali badi ja rahi hai. kahian chausar bichhi huee hai; pau-barah ka shor macha hua hai. kahi shataranj ka ghor sangram chhi da hua hai. raja se lekar rank tak isi dhun mean mast the. yahaan tak ki fakiroan ko paise milate to ve rotiyaan n lekar aphim khate ya madak pite. shataranj, tash, ganjifa khelane se buddhi tivr hoti hai, vichar-shakti ka vikas hota hai, peanchida masaloan ko sulajhane ki adat p dati hai. ye dalilean joroan ke sath pesh ki jati thian (is sampraday ke logoan se duniya ab bhi khali nahian hai). isalie agar miraza sajjadali aur mir raushanali apana adhikaansh samay buddhi tivr karane mean vyatit karate the, to kisi vicharashil purush ko kya apatti ho sakati thi? donoan ke pas mauroosi jagirean thian; jivika ki koee chianta n thi; ki ghar mean baithe chakhautiyaan karate the. akhir aur karate hi kya? pratahkal donoan mitr nashta karake bisat bichha kar baith jate, muhare saj jate, aur l daee ke dav-peanch hone lagate. phir khabar n hoti thi ki kab dopahar huee, kab tisara pahar, kab sham ! ghar ke bhitar se bar-bar bulava ata ki khana taiyar hai. yahaan se javab milata- chalo, ate haian, dastarakhvan bichhao. yahaan tak ki bavarachi vivash ho ki kamare hi mean khana rakh jata tha, aur donoan mitr donoan kam sath-sath karate the. miraza sajjad ali ke ghar mean koee b da-boodha n tha, isalie unhian ke divanakhane mean bajiyaan hoti thian. magar yah bat n thi miraza ke ghar ke aur log unase is vyavahar se khush hoan. gharavaloan ka to kahana hi kya, muhallevale, ghar ke naukar-chakar tak nity dveshapoorn tippaniyaan kiya karate the- b da manahoos khel hai. ghar ko tabah kar deta hai. khuda n kare, kisi ko isaki chat p de, adami din-duniya kisi ke kam ka nahian rahata, n ghar ka, n ghat ka. bura rog hai. yahaan tak ki miraza ki begam sahaba ko isase itana dvesh tha ki avasar khoj-khojakar pati ko lata dati thian. par unhean isaka avasar mushkil se milata tha. vah soti rahati thian, tab tak bazi bichh jati thi. aur rat ko jab so jati thian, tab kahi mirazaji ghar mean ate the. haan, naukaroan par vah apana gussa utarati rahati thian- kya pan maange haian? kah do, akar le jayan. khane ki phurasat nahian hai? le jakar khana sir par patak do, khayan chahe kutte ko khilayean. par roobaroo vah bhi kuchh n kah sakati thian. unako apane pati se utana malal n tha, jitana mir sahab se. unhoanne unaka, nam mir biga doo rakh chho da tha. shayad mirazaji apani saphaee dene ke lie sara ilajam mir sahab hi ke sar thop dete the.

ek din begam sahaba ke sir mean dard hone laga. unhoanne lauandi se kaha- jakar miraza sahab ko bula lo. kisi hakim ke yahaan se dava layean. dau d, jaldi kar. lauandi gayi to mirazaji ne kaha- chal, abhi ate haian. begam sahaba ka mizaj garam tha. itani tab kahaan ki unake sir mean dard ho aur pati shataranj khelata rahe. chehara surkh ho gaya. lauandi se kaha- jakar kah, abhi chalie, nahian to vah ap hi hakim ke yahaan chali jayeangi. mirazaji b di dilachasp bazi khel rahe the, do hi kistoan mean mir sahab ki mat huee jati thi. jhuanjhalakar bole- kya aisa dam laboan par hai? jara sabr nahian hota?

mir- are, to jakar sun hi aie n. auratean najuk-mizaj hoti hi haian.

miraza- ji haan, chala kyoan n jaooan ! do kistoan mean apaki mat hoti hai.

mir- janab, is bharose n rahiega. vah chal sochi hai ki apake muhare dhare rahean aur mat ho jay. par jaie, sun aie. kyoan khamakhvah unaka dil dukhaiega?

miraza- isi bat par mat hi karake jaooanga.

mir- maian khelooanga hi nahian. ap jakar sun aie.

miraza- are yar, jana p dega hakim ke yahaan. sir-dard khak nahian hai, mujhe pareshan karane ka bahana hai.

mir- kuchh bhi ho, unaki khatir to karani hi p degi.

miraza- achchha, ek chal aur chal looan.

mir- haragiz nahian, jab tak ap sun n ayeange, maian muhare mean hath hi n lagaooanga.

miraza sahab majaboor hokar aandar gaye to begam sahaba ne tyoriyaan badalakar, lekin karahate hue kaha- tumhean nigo di shataranj itani pyari hai ! chahe koee mar hi jay, par uthane ka nam nahian lete ! nauj, koee tum-jaisa adami ho !

miraza- kya kahooan, mir sahaba manate hi n the. b di mushkil se pichha chhu dakar aya hooan.

begam- kya jaise vah khud nikhattoo haian, vaise hi sabako samajhate haian. unake bhi to bal-bachche haian; ya sabaka saphaya kar dala?

miraza- b da lati adami hai. jab a jata hai, tab majaboor hokar mujhe bhi khelana p data hai.

begam- dutkar kyoan nahian dete?

miraza- barabar ke adami haian; umr mean, darje mean mujhase do aangul ooanche. mulahiza karana hi p data hai.

begam- to maian hi dutkare deti hooan. naraz ho jayange, ho jayan. kaun kisi ki rotiyaan chala deta hai. rani rootheangi, apana suhag leangi. hariya; ja bahar se shataranj utha la. mir sahab se kahana, miyaan ab n kheleange; ap tashariph le jaie.

miraza- haan-haan, kahian aisa gajab bhi n karana ! jalil karana chahati ho kya? thahar hariya, kahaan jati hai.

begam- jane kyoan nahian dete? mera hi khoon piye, jo use roke. achchha, use roka, mujhe roko, to janooan?

yah kahakar begam sahaba jhallaee huee divanakhane ki taraph chalian. miraza bechare ka rang u d gaya. bibi ki minnatean karane lage- khuda ke lie, tumhean hajarat husen ki kasam hai. meri hi maiyat dekhe, jo udhar jay. lekin begam ne ek n mani. divanakhane ke dvar tak gayian, par ekaek par-purush ke samane jate hue paanv bandh-se gaye. bhitar jhaanka, sanyog se kamara khali tha. mir sahab ne do-ek muhare idhar-udhar kar diye the, aur apani saphaee jatane ke lie bahar tahal rahe the. phir kya tha, begam ne aandar pahuanchakar bazi ulat di, muhare kuchh takht ke niche pheank diye, kuchh bahar aur kiva d aandar se band karake kuandi laga di. mir sahab daravaze par to the hi, muhare bahar pheanke jate dekhe, choo diyoan ki jhanak bhi kan mean p di. phir daravaza band hua, to samajh gaye, begam sahaba big d gayian. chupake se ghar ki rah li.

miraza ne kaha- tumane gajab kiya.

begam- ab mir sahab idhar aye, to kh de-kh de nikalava dooangi. itani lau khuda se lagate, to vali ho jate ! ap to shataranj khelean, aur maian yahaan choolhe-chakki ki fikr mean sir khapaooan ! jate ho hakim sahab ke yahaan ki ab bhi tammul hai.

miraza ghar se nikale, to hakim ke ghar jane ke badale mir sahab ke ghar pahuanche aur sara vrittaant kaha. mir sahab bole- maianne to jab muhare bahar ate dekhe, tabhi ta d gaya. phauran bhaga. b di gussevar maloom hoti haian. magar apane unhean yoan sir chadha rakha hai, yah munasib nahian. unhean isase kya matalab ki ap bahar kya karate haian. ghar ka iantajam karana unaka kam hai; doosari batoan se unhean kya sarokar?

miraza- khair, yah to bataie, ab kahaan jamav hoga?

mir- isaka kya gam hai. itana b da ghar p da hua hai. bas yahian jamean.

miraza- lekin begam sahaba ko kaise manaooanga? ghar par baitha rahata tha, tab to vah itana big dati thian; yahaan baithak hogi, to shayad jianda n chho deangi.

mir- aji bakane bhi dijie, do-char roj mean ap hi thik ho jayeangi. haan, ap itana kijie ki aj se jara tan jaie.

mir sahab ki begam kisi ajnat karan se mir sahab ka ghar se door rahana hi upayukt samajhati thian. isalie vah unake shataranj-prem ki kabhi alochana n karati thian; balki kabhi-kabhi mir sahab ko der ho jati, to yad dila deti thian. in karanoan se mir sahab ko bhram ho gaya tha ki meri stri atyant vinayashil aur ganbhir hai. lekin jab divanakhane mean bisat bichhane lagi, aur mir sahab din-bhar ghar mean rahane lage, to begam sahaba ko b da kasht hone laga. unaki svadhinata mean badha p d gayi. din-bhar daravaze par jhaankane ko taras jatian.

udhar naukaroan mean bhi kanaphoosi hone lagi. ab tak din-bhar p de-p de makkhiyaan mara karate the. ghar mean koee aye, koee jaye, unase kuchh matalab n tha. ab athoan pahar ki dhauans ho gayi. pan lane ka hukm hota, kabhi mithaee ka. aur huqqa to kisi premi ke hriday ki bhaanti nity jalata hi rahata tha. ve begam sahaba se ja-jakar kahate- huzoor, miyaan ki shataranj to hamare ji ka janjal ho gayi. din-bhar dau date-dau date pairoan mean chhale p d gaye. yah bhi koee khel ki subah ko baithe to sham kar di. gh di adh gh di dil-bahalav ke lie khel khelana bahut hai. khair, hamean to koee shikayat nahian; huzoor ke gulam haian, jo hukm hoga, baja hi layeange; magar yah khel manahoos hai. isaka khelanevala kabhi panapata nahian; ghar par koee n koee aphat zaroor ati hai. yahaan tak ki ek ke pichhe mahalle-ke-mahalle tabah hote dekhe gaye haian. sare muhalle mean yahi characha rahati hai. huzoor ka namak khate haian, apane aqa ki buraee sun-sunakar ranj hota hai? magar kya karean? is par begam sahaba kahati haian- maian to khud isako pasand nahian karati. par vah kisi ki sunate hi nahian, kya kiya jay.

muhalle mean bhi jo do-char purane jamane ke log the, apas mean bhaanti-bhaanti ki amangal kalpanaean karane lage- ab khairiyat nahian. jab hamare reesoan ka yah hal hai, to mulk ka khuda hi hafij hai. yah badashahat shataranj ke hathoan tabah hogi. asar bure haian.

rajy mean hahakar macha hua tha. praja din-daha de looti jati thi. koee phariyad sunanevala n tha. dehatoan ki sari daulat lakhanoo mean khianchi ati thi aur vah veshyaoan mean, bhaandoan mean aur vilasita ke any aangoan ki poorti mean u d jati thi. aangrez kampani ka rrin din-din badhata jata tha. kamali din-din bhigakar bhari hoti jati thi. desh mean suvyavastha n hone ke karan varshik kar bhi vasool n hota tha. rejideant bar-bar chetavani deta tha, par yahaan to log vilasita ke nashe mean choor the, kisi ke kanoan par jooan n reangati thi.

khair, mir sahab ke divanakhane mean shataranj hote kee mahine gujar gaye. naye-naye nakshe hal kiye jate; naye-naye kile banaye jate; nity nayi vyooh-rachana hoti; kabhi-kabhi khelate-khelate jhau d ho jati; too-too maian-maian tak ki naubat a jati; par shighr hi donoan mitroan mean mel ho jata. kabhi-kabhi aisa bhi hota ki bazi utha di jati; mirazaji roothakar apane ghar chale jate. mir sahab apane ghar mean ja baithate. par rat bhar ki nidra ke sath sara manomaliny shaant ho jata tha. pratahkal donoan mitr divanakhane mean a pahuanchate the.

ek din donoan mitr baithe hue shataranj ki daladal mean gote kha rahe the ki itane mean gho de par savar ek badashahi fauj ka aphasar mir sahab ka nam poochhata hua a pahuancha. mir sahab ke hosh u d gaye. yah kya bala sir par ayi ! yah talabi kis lie huee hai? ab khairiyat nahian najar ati. ghar ke daravaze band kar liye. naukaroan se bole- kah do, ghar mean nahian haian.

savar- ghar mean nahian, to kahaan haian?

naukar- yah maian nahian janata. kya kam hai?

savar- kam tujhe kya bataooanga? huzoor mean talabi hai. shayad fauj ke lie kuchh sipahi maange gaye haian. jagiradar haian ki dillagi ! morache par jana p dega, to ate-dal ka bhav maloom ho jayaga !

naukar- achchha, to jaie, kah diya jayaga?

savar- kahane ki bat nahian hai. maian kal khud aooanga, sath le jane ka hukm hua hai.

savar chala gaya. mir sahab ki atma kaanp uthi. mirazaji se bole- kahie janab, ab kya hoga?

miraza- b di musibat hai. kahian meri talabi bhi n ho.

mir- kambakht kal phir ane ko kah gaya hai.

miraza- aphat hai, aur kya. kahian morache par jana p da, to bemaut mare.

mir- bas, yahi ek tadabir hai ki ghar par milo hi nahian. kal se gomati par kahian virane mean nakhsha jame. vahaan kise khabar hogi. hajarat akar ap laut jayange.

miraza- vallah, apako khoob soojhi ! isake sivay aur koee tadabir hi nahian hai.

idhar mir sahab ki begam us savar se kah rahi thi, tumane khoob dhata bataya.

usane javab diya- aise gavadiyoan ko to chutakiyoan par nachata hooan. inaki sari akl aur himmat to shataranj ne char li. ab bhool kar bhi ghar par n raheange.

doosare din se donoan mitr muanh aandhere ghar se nikal kh de hote. bagal mean ek chhoti-si dari dabaye, dibbe mean gilauriyaan bhare, gomati par ki ek purani viran masajid mean chale jate, jise shayad navab asafuddaula ne banavaya tha. raste mean tambakoo, chilam aur madariya le lete, aur masajid mean pahuanch, dari bichha, huqqa bharakar shataranj khelane baith jate the. phir unhean din-duniya ki fikr n rahati thi. kisht, shah adi do-ek shabdoan ke siva unake muanh se aur koee vaky nahian nikalata tha. koee yogi bhi samadhi mean itana ekagr n hota hoga. dopahar ko jab bhookh maloom hoti to donoan mitr kisi nanabaee ki dookan par jakar khana khate, aur ek chilam huqqa pikar phir sangram-kshetr mean dat jate. kabhi-kabhi to unhean bhojan ka bhi khyal n rahata tha.

idhar desh ki rajanitik dasha bhayankar hoti ja rahi thi. kampani ki faujean lakhanoo ki taraph badhi chali ati thian. shahar mean halachal machi huee thi. log bal-bachchoan ko lekar dehatoan mean bhag rahe the. par hamare donoan khila diyoan ko inaki zara bhi fikr n thi. ve ghar se ate to galiyoan mean hokar. dar tha ki kahian kisi badashahi mulajim ki nigah n p d jay, jo bekar mean pak d jayan. hajaroan rupaye salana ki jagir muft hi hajam karana chahate the.

ek din donoan mitr masajid ke khandahar mean baithe hue shataranj khel rahe the. miraza ki bazi kuchh kamazor thi. mir sahab unhean kisht-par-kisht de rahe the. itane mean kampani ke sainik ate hue dikhayi diye. vah goroan ki fauj thi, jo lakhanoo par adhikar jamane ke lie a rahi thi.

mir sahab bole- aangreji fauj a rahi hai; khuda khair kare.

miraza- ane dijie, kisht bachaie. yah kisht.

mir- jara dekhana chahie, yahian a d mean kh de ho jayan !

miraza- dekh lijiega, jaldi kya hai, phir kisht !

mir- topakhana bhi hai. koee paanch hazar adami hoange kaise-kaise javan haian. lal bandaroan ke-se muanh. soorat dekhakar khauph maloom hota hai.

miraza- janab, hile n kijie. ye chakame kisi aur ko dijiega. yah kisht !

mir- ap bhi ajib adami haian. yahaan to shahar par aphat ayi huee hai aur apako kisht ki soojhi hai ! kuchh isaki bhi khabar hai ki shahar ghir gaya, to ghar kaise chaleange?

miraza- jab ghar chalane ka vakt ayega, to dekha jayaga- yah kisht ! bas, abaki shah mean mat hai.

fauj nikal gayi. das baje ka samay tha. phir bazi bichh gayi.

miraza- aj khane ki kaise thaharegi?

mir- aji, aj to roza hai. kya apako zyada bhookh maloom hoti hai?

miraza- ji nahian. shahar mean n jane kya ho raha hai !

mir- shahar mean kuchh n ho raha hoga. log khana kha-khakar aram se so rahe hoange. huzoor navab sahab bhi aishagah mean hoange.

donoan sajjan phir jo khelane baithe, to tin baj gaye. abaki miraza ji ki bazi kamazor thi. char ka gajar baj hi raha tha ki fauj ki vapasi ki ahat mili. navab vajidali pak d liye gaye the, aur sena unhean kisi ajnat sthan ko liye ja rahi thi. shahar mean n koee halachal thi, n mar-kat. ek booand bhi khoon nahian gira tha. aj tak kisi svadhin desh ke raja ki parajay itani shaanti se, is tarah khoon bahe bina n huee hogi. yah vah ahiansa n thi, jis par devagan prasann hote haian. yah vah kayarapan tha, jis par b de-b de kayar bhi aansoo bahate haian. avadh ke vishal desh ka navab bandi chala jata tha, aur lakhanoo aish ki niand mean mast tha. yah rajanitik adhahpatan ki charam sima thi.

miraza ne kaha- huzoor navab sahab ko jalimoan ne kaid kar liya hai.

mir- hoga, yah lijie shah.

miraza- janab jara thaharie. is vakt idhar tabiyat nahian lagati. bechare navab sahab is vakt khoon ke aansoo ro rahe hoange.

mir- roya hi chahean. yah aish vahaan kahaan nasib hoga. yah kisht !

miraza- kisi ke din barabar nahian jate. kitani dardanak halat hai.

mir- haan, so to hai hi- yah lo, phir kisht ! bas, abaki kisht mean mat hai, bach nahian sakate.

miraza- khuda ki kasam, ap b de bedard haian. itana b da hadasa dekhakar bhi apako duahkh nahian hota. hay, garib vajidali shah !

mir- pahale apane badashah ko to bachaie phir navab sahab ka matam kijiega. yah kisht aur yah mat ! lana hath !

badashah ko liye hue sena samane se nikal gayi. unake jate hi miraza ne phir bazi bichha di. har ki chot buri hoti hai. mir ne kaha- aie, navab sahab ke matam mean ek marasiya kah dalean. lekin miraza ki rajabhakti apani har ke sath lupt ho chuki thi. vah har ka badala chukane ke lie adhir ho rahe the.

sham ho gayi. khandahar mean chamagad doan ne chikhana shuroo kiya. ababilean a-akar apane-apane ghosaloan mean chimatian. par donoan khila di date hue the, mano do khoon ke pyase soorama apas mean l d rahe hoan. mirazaji tin bajiyaan lagatar har chuke the; is chauthi bazi ka rang bhi achchha n tha. vah bar-bar jitane ka dridh nishchay karake sanbhalakar khelate the lekin ek-n-ek chal aisi bedhab a p dati thi, jisase bazi kharab ho jati thi. har bar har ke sath pratikar ki bhavana aur bhi ugr hoti thi. udhar mir sahab mare umang ke gajalean gate the, chutakiyaan lete the, mano koee gupt dhan pa gaye hoan. mirazaji sun-sunakar jhuanjhalate aur har ki jheanp ko mitane ke lie unaki dad dete the. par jyoan-jyoan bazi kamazor p dati thi, dhairy hath se nikala jata tha. yahaan tak ki vah bat-bat par jhuanjhalane lage- janab, ap chal badala n kijie. yah kya ki ek chal chale, aur phir use badal diya. jo kuchh chalana ho ek bar chal dijie; yah ap muhare par hath kyoan rakhate haian? muhare ko chho d dijie. jab tak apako chal n soojhe, muhara chhuiye hi nahian. ap ek-ek chal adh ghante mean chalate haian. isaki sanad nahian. jise ek chal chalane mean paanch minat se zyada lage, usaki mat samajhi jay. phir apane chal badali ! chupake se muhara vahian rakh dijie.

mir sahab ka pharaji pitata tha. bole- maianne chal chali hi kab thi?

miraza- ap chal chal chuke haian. muhara vahian rakh dijie- usi ghar mean !

mir- us ghar mean kyoan rakhooan? maianne hath se muhara chho da hi kab tha?

miraza- muhara ap kayamat tak n chho dean, to kya chal hi n hogi? pharaji pitate dekha to dhaandhali karane lage.

mir- dhaandhali ap karate haian. har-jit takadir se hoti hai, dhaandhali karane se koee nahian jitata?

miraza- to is bazi mean to apaki mat ho gayi.

mir- mujhe kyoan mat hone lagi?

miraza- to ap muhara usi ghar mean rakh dijie, jahaan pahale rakkha tha.

mir- vahaan kyoan rakhooan? nahian rakhata.

miraza- kyoan n rakhiega? apako rakhana hoga.

takarar badhane lagi. donoan apani-apani tek par a de the. n yah dabata tha n vah. aprasangik batean hoene lagian, miraza bole- kisi ne khanadan mean shataranj kheli hoti, tab to isake kayade janate. ve to hamesha, ghas chhila karate, ap shataranj kya kheliega. riyasat aur hi chiz hai. jagir mil jane se hi koee rees nahian ho jata.

mir- kya? ghas apake abbajan chhilate hoange. yahaan to pidhiyoan se shataranj khelate chale a rahe haian.

miraza- aji, jaie bhi, gajiuddin haidar ke yahaan bavarachi ka kam karate-karate umr gujar gayi aj rees banane chale haian. rees banana kuchh dillagi nahian hai.

mir- kyoan apane bujurgoan ke muanh mean kalikh lagate ho- ve hi bavarachi ka kam karate hoange. yahaan to hamesha badashah ke dastarakhvan par khana khate chale aye haian.

miraza- are chal charakate, bahut badh-badhakar batean n kar.

mir- jaban sanbhaliye, varana bura hoga. maian aisi batean sunane ka adi nahian hooan. yahaan to kisi ne aankhean dikhayian ki usaki aankhean nikalian. hai hausala?

miraza- ap mera hausala dekhana chahate haian, to phir, aie. aj do-do hath ho jayan, idhar ya udhar.

mir- to yahaan tumase dabanevala kaun?

donoan dostoan ne kamar se talavarean nikal lian. navabi jamana tha; sabhi talavar, peshakabj, katar vagairah baandhate the. donoan vilasi the, par kayar n the. unamean rajanitik bhavoan ka adhahpatan ho gaya tha- badashah ke lie, badashahat ke lie kyoan marean; par vyaktigat virata ka abhav n tha. donoan jakhm khakar gire, aur donoan ne vahian t dap-t dapakar janean de dian. apane badashah ke lie jinaki aankhoan se ek booand aansoo n nikala, unhian donoan praniyoan ne shataranj ke vajir ki raksha mean pran de diye.

aandhera ho chala tha. bazi bichhi huee thi. donoan badashah apane-apane sianhasanoan par baithe hue mano in donoan viroan ki mrityu par ro rahe the !

charoan taraph sannata chhaya hua tha. khandahar ki tooti huee meharabean, giri huee divarean aur dhool-dhoosarit minarean in lashoan ko dekhatian aur sir dhunati thian.
