Saatvien Din

Qyyum Rahi

Karachi se aye huye use saatvan din tha. Apne khas restronke eik khali kone mein baitha vah cigarette ke halke halke kash le raha tha khoya, hairan aur pareshan. Thode thode samai ke baad chaye ke ghoont bhi halaq se utaar raha tha. Aur yoon hi sarsari tua r par akhbar ki surkhiyan padh raha tha par dimagh o dil aankhon ka saath nahin de pa rahe the. Vah kisi orhi udhed bun mein lage huye the.

Kuch samai se vah eik uljhan mein phansa hua tha ki kya chata hai aur andar hi andar sahma sahma kyon rahta hai. Kabhi us bare mein gambhirta se soch hi nahin. Na jane uska vishleshan karne se katrata aur ghabrata kyon tha ki yah koi aisi uljhi hui dor ho jise suljhaya na ja sakta ho.

Darasal kuch arse se vah lagatar eik ajeeb aur pechida kaifiyat se do char tha jiske karan aksar auqat eik dhimi dhimi si bechaini mein sulagta sa rahta tha. Is mamle mein ziyada dakhal kalpna ko tha joaye din usko vibhin tarha se ahsasat aur jazbat ki tasviren dikhata rahtatha. Kabhi sote jagte khayalon ke darichon mein sitare ka hansta hua shadab chehra nikalne lagta. Dil mein sab jane vale zaviyon ke saath to kbhi humdrd ki soorat samne ubharne lagti. Udas andaaz mein, aankhon mein nafrat, ghusse aur nafrat ke sholey bhadkate. Kabhi sitara baazi ka mand mand chehra samne aa jata. Peshani par shikno aur jhuki jhuki nigahon ke saath aur us par sharmindagi ka hamla shuru ho jata aur jab rafeeq bhai ke chehre par mohabbat aur khuloos se jhalakti hui aankhen dekhta to use dil mein kanta sa khatakta hua mahsoos hota. Par jab sitara ke vo kundan se badan ki kalpna use apni aaghosh le leta to dimagh par eik khumar sa chhane lagta. Kabhi yoon hota ki yah sare chehre gudmud ho jate aur eik anjan dar ki parchhaiyan kanaphoosi karti hui aas paas mandlane lagi. Ajeeb si halat ab uske liye na qabile bardasht hoti ja rahi thi. Usne naya cigarette sulgakar ghadi dekhi. barah bajne vale the. Restran mein bas ikka dukka log hi baithe chay pine mein mashgool the. Mahual khasa pursukoon tha, usne baire ko chay ki doosri piyali lane ka ishara kiya aur phir soch ki gufa mein utar gaya.

Vah nay sire se halaat ke vibhin pahluon par ghuar karna chahta tha. Par sitara ke bhare shareer ka must kar dene vala khayal baar baar dhiyan banakar uspar hukmurani kane lagta yahi vo khayal tha jo lagatar uski sochon ka picha karta tha. Use varghalata danvadol karta rahta tha aur sitara ke ghar jane ke liye uksata rahta tha.

Sitara baazi ka ghar kabhi eik tarha ki panahgah ki haisiyat rakhta tha uske liye. Jab bhi udas hota aur kahin chain na milta to vahan chala jata. Is ghar mein use kabhi dam ghutan aur sulagti hui khamoshi ne ghayal nahin kiya tha balki vahan ka rakh rakhao, tan uar mann ke ujle log unki sachchi khari baaten hamesha hi uski tabiyat par khushgavar tuar par asar andaaz ho jati thi. Aur vah sab kuch bhool kar vahan ke apnaiyat ki bhini bhini khushbu se mahakte huy mahual mein doobkar kho sa jata. Sitara baazi uski door ke rishteki bahan thi. Unkr rung o roop mein sajila pan tazgi aur bala ki dil farebi thi vah zindagi arur javani se is kadar bharpoor thi ki kisi ko iska andaaz bhi nahin ho sakta tha ki vah javan hote huye beton ki maa ho sakti hai. Shadi ko atthara baras ka lamba samai beet chuka tha aur vah rafiq ahmad ke saath eik khushgavar aur aaram deh zindagi guzar rahi thi. Rafiq ahmad deel dual aur rung aur roop ke lihaz se kisi tarah se bhi aitara baazi ka shuahar bilkul nahin jachta tha. Uska rung sanvla tha. Aur sitara baazi srkh aur saphed, haseen aur akarshan jism ki malika thi par rafiq bhai dil ka bada ujla tha. Hamesha sitara baazi ki ichhaon ka khas khayal rakhta tha. sitara baazi bhi uski pasand aur aaram ko ahmiyat deti thin. aur yoon yah ghar uske basne valon ke liye eik sada bahar svarg ban gaya tha. Par is hanste muskurate mahual mein bhi sitara baazi kbhi kbhar use bujhi bujhi si lagti thi. goya unki khushi bhari zindagi mein koi kami rah gayee ho.

Sitara baazi ke ghar vo bahut kam jata tha aur jab bhi vhan pahunchta sitara baazi aur rafiq bhi bade josh aur pyaar se pesh aate sitara baazi ki shadar parsnality aur be had akarshan tha. Vah unhe bahut pasand karta tha balki uske dil mein to unke liye badi ijzat thi, bada adar tha aur yah adar keval is vajha se nahin tha ki sitara baazi usse umar mein kai baras badi thi vah unhen "baazi"kahta tha. balki uske adar mein sitara baazi ki meharbani apna pan aur humdardi se bharpoor raviye aur masoom baaton ka ziyada dakhal tha. rafiq ahmad sidha sada hansmukh aur khara admi tha. aur uski nuakri ke liye pareshan rahta tha. pichle baras jo eik privet company mein use jo nuakri mili thi vo bhi rafiq ahmad ki koshishon ka natija tha.

Kuch samai poorv biwi ne jo uski mahbooba thi eik murda bachche ko janam dekar dam tuad diya tha agar bada bhai eik hi ghar mein mail mohabbat se rahte the par ab vo pahle jaisi bechaini nahin rahi thi. ab uske sochne ka andaaz yah tha ki jo kuch hona hai hokar rahega. Phikar mein ghulne aur sisakne se kya phayda ? par yah lajik sitara baazi mein saath nahin de pa rahi thi. is silsile mein vo abhi tak eik ajeeb bechaini mein giraftar tha.

Chayki doosri piyali khali karne ke baad usne cigarette dibiya mein se aakhri cigarette nikala aur dibiya mez par dal di. cigarette sugaya aur kamar kursi par jamakar taangon ko pasar diya chhat ki kadiyon ko takne laga. par vahan bhi sitara ki mann mohni soorat ubharne lagi. Uske gore gore haathon ki naram v nazuk ungliyan uske khubsoorat gulabi panv samne agye.

Vo badal se dhaki sipher thi jab sitara baazi ne pahli baar use god mein god mein liya tha. Usne sitara baazi ke ghar ka darwaaza khatkhataya to vo khsa thaka hua tha. Sara din idhar udhar ghoomte rahne ke baad aakhirkar thak harkar sustane ke liye usne is ghar ka rukh kiya tha. Sitara baazi ne darwaaza khola. hamesha ki tarha khush dilli se muskura kar uska sawaagat kiya. Vo unke piche piche kare mein chala gaya. Sitara baazi sofe par baith gayee aur vo mashari par neem daraho hogaya. "ab to aapki tabiyat thik hai na sitara bazi."usne poocha.
Pichle maah jab vo aaya tha to rafiq bhai ne bataya tha ki sitara baazi par un dino dil ka eik halka sa duara pad chuka tha. "ji." Sitara baazi ne chuankte huye ka, "haan ….thik hai."
"Aap apne khane pine ka khayal rakhen - aur khush raha karen, pareshan hone ki koi baat nahin hai khush" sitara baazi ne palak jhapkai, "Khish to main rahti hoon." Phir sitara baazi ko na jane kya hua unhon ne eik do baar gahre sans liye aur nichla hont danton mein daba liya. Jaise vo kuch kahna chahti ho par kah nahin pa rahi ho. chehre par kai rung aa ja rahe the.
Kuch der baad unhone adhkhuli aankhon ke jharoke se eik ada ke saath ghoora aur in nigahon mein jaise bala ka jadoo ho …. Vo sahum kar rah gaya. Phir usi gambhir khamoshi ke andhere mein sitara baazi ki aawaz ka kuanda lapka - "Kya baat hai zaman aaj sust sust se ho rahe ho." "Thak gaya hoon. sir mein dard bhi hai haka halka sa."
Aur sitara baazi jaise koi bahana hi talash kar rahi thi. Fuaran hi uthkar sirhane baith gayee "lao main daba doon sir." Aur unhone apna tapta hua haath us ki peshani par rakh diya aur dabane lagi. Yakayak jaise vaqt ki raftaar tham gayee ho. palak jhapakna tak bhool gaya aur jab yeh lamhe guzar gaye to use har chieez eik ajeeb se nashe mein jhooti hui mahsoos hui. uski samajh mein nahin aa raha tha ki kya kare, bus eik jaadoo mein bandha khamosh leta tha.
Achanak sitara baazi ka shiraza bikhar gaya aur aur tab unke andar se nashili aankhon aur bhookhi nigahon vaali eik aurat baramad hui. Us aurat ka naam "sitara" tha. Jiski aankhe khumar se bojhal thi. uske andar eik haijan barpa ho gaya. phir sari fiza jaise kisi rangeen khuab mein dhal gayee sitara ne uska haath dabaya "rafiq bhi der se ayenge kah gaye the chay par mera intezar mat karna phir jaise vo apne havas kho baithi ho. uspar vahshat si taari ho gayee phir vo silsila eik hosh ruba kaifiyat mein dhal gaya. khud faramoshi ki aisi fuvar padi ki dono hi is meinsharabor ho gaye.
Jab yeh vaqt guzar gaya aur mahual par gaihra sannata chha gaya to dono hairani ki dahliz par baithe the. Ab khamush the aur nazre jhuki jhuki. Sitara jaldi se doosre kamre mein chali gayee. Baad mein vo bhi dabe paanv us darwaaze ki taraf chal diya jo gali mein khilta tha ki vahaan eik eik pal bhari guzar raha tha.
Bazaar ki chahal pahal mein se guzarte huye bhi use kitni hi der yah gumaan hota raha ki jaise khuab mein chal raha ho. Par sachai to sachai hi hoti hai ismein shak ki kahaan gunjaish hoti hai. Isi liye uske qadam tez hote ja rahe the. Dara dara sa yoon chala ja raha tha jaise koi uska picha kar raha ho, hotel mein ab kuch aur log bhi aa gaye the jo chay pine ke saath saath baaten bhi kiye ja rahe the. Yah se ghabra kar vo apne dost ke bulave par chand hafton ke liye karachi chala gaya tha. Par vahaan bhi vo un khayalo aur khuabo se picha na chuda saka tha vaise bhi karachi mein uska dil nahin laga isliye laldi vapis chala aaya aur ab vo restaran mein baitha soch sochkar halkan sa ho raha tha. Betahasha cigarette pi chuka tha. Kuch faisls na kar paya tha. Albatta eik bechaini zaroor thi jo use baar baar sitara ke ghar jane ke liye use uksa rahi thi. Sab kuch achanak hi to ho gaya tha kisi guman aur irade ke baghair usne socha par khamoshi ki bhi to aakhir eik zaban hoti hai. Usne khud ko sajhane ki koshish ki aur ….pahal bhi to sitara ne hi ki thi. iska matlab saaph hai. huasla kuch badha. Usne ghadi dekhi dono ladke abhi collige mein honge. sitara ghar mein akeli hogi. Fuaran hi utha aur chay ka bill ada karke tezi se bahar nikla aur sitara ke ghar ki taraf chal pada. Jab sitara ke ghar ke nazdik pahuncha to jaise panv mann mann bhar ke ho gaye. uljhan mein pad gaya eik baar vapas jane ka irada bhi kiya par sachai aur nashili si eik "khuahish" ne uske davan dol irade ko sahara diya. vah darwaaze ki aor badha. phir usne kundi khatkhatai aur tab uska josh aur huasla bhi dil ki dhadkano ko qaboo mein na rakh saka.

Phir sadiyon baad darwaaza khula. kivado ki aot mein khadi hui sitara muskurai par yeh muakurahat eik dam ghayab ho gayee aur uski jagha mand mand si rangat ne le li vo dhire dhire sitare ke piche piche chalne laga. sir jhukai, chup chap ….. jaise sapne mein chal raha ho. kamre mein dono amne samne sofe par baith gaye. unki nazre fars par eik hi jagah thari hui na jane kya talash kar rahi thin.

Kuch der baad aakhir chor nigahon ki kamand sitara ke chehre par fenki. vah abhi tak khoi si baithi thi. usne khankhar kar sitara ko apni muajudagi ka ahsas dilaya tab sitara ne udhar dekha bala ka tikha pan tha nigahon mein. rob aur dabdaba, vo tab na la saka. "kaho zaman tumhari nuakri ka kya hua kuch bana." sitara eik shan ke saath boli. "nahin abhi to kuch bhi na ho saka ummid hai chand roz tak kuch na kuch ho jaiga." usne chota sa jawaab diya. sitara ne aur kuch na poocha. vah baar baar pahlu badal rahi thi. ukhdi ukhdi si baithi thi. phir usne ghadi dekhi aur haathon ki ungliyan chadhkhane lagi. "tabiyat ka kya hall hai ab." thodi der baad aakhir usne baton ka silsila dobara shuru kiya. "thik hai." "kuch na kuch davain to chalti hi rahti hain." awazen eik baar phir khamoshi ke paatal mein utar garee.

Achanak usne apne samne sitara baazi ko baitha hua paya. unki aankhon ku atemad ki roshani thi aur chehra par eik sanjidagi. aur uske andar ki tamam sadayen, sarsarahaten aur sargoshiyan jo use bekal kiye rakhti thi aap hi aap band ho gayee. phir palak jhapakte hi sara gubar chhat gaya aur dhundhlaya hua raasta saaf ho gaya. sitara baazi ne use ghuar se sekha. phir apni makhsoos muskurahat ke saath boli, "tum baitho zaman main tumhare liye chay banakar lati hoon. "nahin rahne dijiye." vo eik dam khada ho gaya. "kyon ?"

"Is vaqt zara jaldi mein hoon phir aoonga." "achi baat hai." usne bade adar ke saath sitara baazi ko salam kiya aur bahar nikal aaya.
