Uff tauba...kya waqi? is hairath per mar jaane ko ji chaha sadiqa ka....aakhir aisa kya pooch liya tha haajira ne ?
yehi ke kya waqi tum pachpan ki ho ? sadiqa ki manikheez muskurahat per hajira ko gumaan hua ke ho na ho sadiqa mazaq kar rahi hai...hajira ne tatolti huii nazaron se dekha...bolo bhi sadiqa aakhir tumhari jawani ka raaz kya hai ? pachpan may bhi bachpan kaise bacha hua hai...
Sadiqa ne muskura kar kaha " hajira mai badi nasib wali hun..mujhe aisi zar-e-nawaz bahu mili hai ke pocho mat...Hajira ne khush ho kar poocha, " kya waqi ? "saadiqa ne puri sanjidgi se jawab diya, " haan nahi tou kya aisi bahu to nasib walon ko milti hai...jo mujhe kabhi thakne nahi deti...na pareshan hone ka koi mauqa deti hai...Hajira ne kaha, " ayeen, aisa na kahin dekha na suna...aaj tak kisi saas ne apni bahu ka aisa koi qaseeda nahi padha jis se emaan ki taaza taaza khushbu aaye...haaye aakhir ye kaise mumkin hai bibi ?
Hajira ki hairat ke pahad they ke tut te hi na they bulke buland hote jarahe they..uski justaju may izaafa hota jaraha tha....sadiqa ko maze arahe they...hajira ki hairath bhare sawalath per...kyon ke abhi asal israr ko samne aana jo tha...
Hajira ne tadap kar kaha "ab bolo bhi...bol bhi chuko..aakhir vo konsa nuskha hai jo tumhari bahu ke haath lag gaya hai ? jo tum waare niyaare huii jarahi ho...Sadiqa ki hansi chut gaii..." sabar hajira sabar...bata rahi hun...magar wada karo ke ye nuskha tum apne tak mehdud rakhogi...Hajira ne wada kar liya wafur-e-josh may...zarur bibi zarur...
Sadiqa ne ek lambi aah bhari..' baat itni hai hajira meri bahu mujhe itna masruf rakhti hai ke soch tou soch saans ka patta bhi nahi chalta....is tarha ek dum saadhne ki warzish bhi hojaati hai...aur din bhar ke kaamon may zehen itna uljha rahta hai ke, koi aur soch paas tak nahi phatakti...so depression ki shikayet se doori bani rahti hai....baar baar ki safaii jism ko saaf rakhti hai aur chehre ko nikhaar deti hai....ye hai meri jawan saali ka raaz....
Loag kahenge haaye ye kya zamaana aagaya hai...andher nagri hai...per zara sochein...is nafsa nafsi ke daur may jub loag jama tafreeq may lage huye hain tou bahuyein kyon kisi se peeche rahein...Allah salamat rakhe unke bhaii bandhuvon ko, unke fitnaperwar maavon ko, jinhon ne saudagiri sikha di...sauda bura nahi tha gar dil ka kar lete, mohabbaton ka kar lete, insaniyet ka kar lete, yehan tou ulti ganga bah rahi thi.....umar seheth aur kaifiyet ki khabargiri tou door muskurane ki rasam bhi ehsaanon tale dab ke rah gaii...aji chath faraham hogaii ye kya kum hai, saath rahte hain ye kya kum hai,
Bas sitam ko karam kar lene may bade fayede hain hajira....jahan mohabbat ki ummid ka shajar phal phul nahi sakta, wahan khud vo shajar banna padhta hai jis ke tale zulm ko bhi aram aajaaye....shaatir bhi sukun paa jaaye...uska dhoka hai ke uski chaal se waqt be khabar hai..haalaanke waqt her lamhe per giraft rakhe huye muntazar hai...ke kahan baagein kas li jaayein....kahan ehsaas hawason per bijilyan giraa dein...
Hajira ke chauda tabaq roshan hogaye," haaye....haaye...haaye.....ye daur ajab hai ...yehan maaon ki zindagi do paatton ki chakki hai...peesti hi rahti hai....usey ye ehsaas hi nahi hota ke usne apne hisse ki mehnath karli, usne apne tamaam farayez bakhubi anjaam diye...ab raahat ki saans lene ka waqt milne waala hai....tab chabuk kisi aur ke haath thama diya jaata hai..."chal mere ghode tik tik tik...".
