1950s maiN apne marhoom bhai ke liye likhaa tha (jo ke mere doosre
chachaa the, aur unkee bhee vafaat ko ab utnaa hee arsa guzar chukaa
he, jitnaa taqreeban is mazmoon ko hua he) Unkee vafaat taqreeban, 28
saal kee umr maiN huee. voh apne behnoN aur bhaioN ke liye, aik
sarparast hee naheen, balke baap se bhee baRh kar haisiyat rekhte the.

KHoobsoorat mazmoon he, maine socha ke is mazmoon ke Khoobsoorti ke
lutf maiN aap logoN ko shareek rekhooN.
"KHOOB TAR HE SUBH KE TAARE SE BHEE TERAA SAFAR"
insaan apnee zindagee maiN ba'az dafaa aise himmat shikan, aur houslaa
past kar dene vaale haadisaat se do chaar hota hai, k use apne saamne
taareeki aur andhere ke sivaa kuch naheeN nazar aata..........zindagee
sehraa ke us jhulse hoe tanhaa daraKHt kee tarah maloom hotee hai jo
registaan kee abadee tanhaee maiN sar uTHae khaRaa ho.........sab
kuchch be rang-o- boo lagtaa hai ........dunyaa aik ujaaR aur chaTyal
maidaan maloom hotee hai jahaaN veeraani barastee hai aur bagolay
cheeKHaiN maarte haiN.........aisi udaasee aur na ummeedi ke aalam
maiN ba'az dafaa, kisi mehboob shaKHsiyat kee yaad dagmagaate hue
qadmoN ke liye aik mazboot sahara saabit hotee hai.
jab kabhee bhee mujhe yooN mehsoos hone lage k bahaar aik mustaqil
KHizaaN maiN badal chukee ....aur ab yehaaN kabhee phool naheeN
khilaiNge, na hee yehaaN kabhee kaliyaaN muskuraiN gee, to mujhe us
mehboob hastee kee yaad aik taqviyat baKHsh detee hai, jiskee saaree
zindagee aik juhad-e musalsal ka namoona thee....... zindagee kee
ibtidaa hee se use saoobatoN aur mushkilaat ke pahaaRoN ka saamnaa
karnaa paRa....lekin uske qadam laGHzish se na aashnaa rahe. Zindagee
kee mushkil tareen ghaTiyoN per bhee voh baGHair kisi ke sahaare ke
chaltaa gaya.
her shaKHz apnee museebatoN ke vaqt us kee imdaad ka taalib hotaa tha,
lekin aise bhee mouq'e aae haiN jab us per khud aafatoN kaa toofaan
aaya......lekin usne kisi se madad naheen talab kee, voh naa sirf
uskee apnee kashtee ka vahid naKHudaa tha, balke zindagee ke is behr e
napaidaa kinaar maiN phaNsee huee kisee kashtee kee madad ke liye us
ke hamdard bazoo hameshaa hameshaa tayyaar rehtay the.
muhe aise moq'e bhee yaad haiN, jabke unhoN ne aik shaKHz kee madad ke
liye apni jaan ko bhee KHatre maiN Daal diyaa tha.(1) Saaree raat mout
ke panje maiN jakRe hue insaanoN kee faryaad unke kaanoN se Takraatee
rahee, zehreeli beemarioN ke jaraseem unke atraaf chakkar kaaTte rahe
lekin unkaa dil KHouf se naa ashnaa rahaa. kabhee vahaaN se chale
jaane kaa KHyaal unke zahen maiN paidaa hee naheen
hua.............unke zahan maiN Khyaal aaya to sirf yehi ke.........ae
rab-e qadeer tu her cheez jaantaa hai, her cheez per qaadir hai, kyaa
afsos karnaa aur aNsoo bahanaa bhee jaanta hai???
in lamhoN maiN jab mayosi mere dil per fatah paale to mere zehn maiN
hameshaa voh chehraa aajaya karta hai jo kaTHin se kaTHin moq'e per
bhee hamesha shaguftaa raha. saKHt se saKHt vaqt bhee uske laboN se
muskurahat na cheen sakaa.
is baat ka ehsaas k kayee gunaa baRee baRee museebatoN ka muqabila
usne hameshaa roushan aur KHundaa paishanee se kiyaa tha. meri
mayoosi aur dil shikastagee ka naam-o-nishaan tak mitaa detaa hai.
uskaa dil KHoon ke aaNsoo ro saktaa tha, lekin us kee peshaani shikan
se naa ashnaa hotee thee. use dunyaa ne kuchch naheen diyaa......uske
sunahere KHwaab kabhee sharminda e tabeer hee na hue. lekin koi ye na
jaan sakta tha ke is haNste aur muskuraate mujjassemay maiN kaisi
zaKHmee aur shikasta rooh hai..........lekin koi bhee nakaami unke
iraadoN ke jolaani aur unke housloN kee bulandee per asar na daal
saktee thee.
usne kabhee apne liye kuchch naheeN kiyaa .........apne ooper vaqt,
dolat, raahat, aur usee qabeel kee doosree cheezaiN sarf karnaa baRaa
shaaQ guzarta tha........lekin yeh sab cheezaiN use bajae khud
napasand naheeN theeN......unhaiN fikr is baat kee lagee rehtee thee,
ke apne bajae, un ka faidaa doosroN ko pohnchadooN. unkee saaree
zindagee is amr kee ainaadaar thee k zindagee vohee, jo doosroN ke
kaam aye......apnee arzoooN, apne armaanoN ke her qurbani ke liye voh
tayyaar rehte the. lekin doosroN ke KhwahishoN ka ihtaraam shaid un
se zyaada kisi aur ke dil main na hosakta tha.
meri nou umree ne inhaiN aik shafeeq baap kee shakl maiN dekhaa he.
lekin un logoN ke liye bhee jo un se umr maiN kaheeN zyaada baRe the.
voh aik pur quvvat sahaara, aik baahimmat houslaa the.
maiN apnee zindagee ke kisi bhee pehloo per bhee nazar doRaooN voh
mere liye aik ideal haiN.
unke qadmoN ke nishaan, mere liye KHizr-e rah ka kaam dete haiN. unkee
adabee joulaanee taba' ko unkee zindagee kee mushkilaat ne numayaaN na
hone diyaa, lekin jo kuch bhee unhoN ne likhaa hai, agar voh mukammal
soorat maiN manzar-e aam per aajata to urdu adab ke intihaaee baish
qeemat sarmayoN maiN se aik hota.
voh aik khaas tarz e nigaarish ke maalik the. tanz o mizah kee dunyaa
maiN agar ye qalam apnee pooree ravaanee ke saath chalne diyaa jaata
to baRe baRe adeeboN ka pata na chalta k voh kidhar gaye. unke qalam
ki joulanee ko zindagee ke talKH aur dushvaar raastoN ke roRoN se
vaasta na paRa hotaa to is qalam se niklay hue javahir paare urdu adab
ke aasmaan per mah e kaamil kee daraKHshaani se firozaaN
hote.........voh qalam aise javahir raize bikhair saktaa tha ke un
per sad haa koh-e-noor qurbaan hoN.
apne CHotoN ke liye voh shafqat aur mohabbat kee aisee misaal the,
jiskee nazeer naa mumkin hai.......zindagee ke kisi bhee pehloo maiN
shaid hee unhoN ne durushtee se kaam liyaa ho. voh jaante the ke
daryaa ka toofaan naheeN balke aab e ravaaN ka raqs sangrezoN ko saDol
banata hai, THokar zameen se gard paidaa kartee hai, phool naheen.
ab bhee jab maiN apne aap ko dunyaa ke us azeem ush shaan maj'mae main
tanhaa mehsoos kartaa hooN, zindagee ka ye veeraan aur dushvaar raasta
mujhe behad kaTHin aur akaila akaila maloom hota hai...............un
mazboot qadmoN kee aavaaz mere kaanoN maiN aatee hai....mujhe yooN
mehsoos hota hai jaise maiN is raaste maiN akailaa naheeH hooN......un
ka shafeeq haath maiN apne kandhe per mehsoos kar saktaa
hooN........un kee aavaaz mere kaanoN main goonGtee hai......"bajai is
ke k mushkilaat tumhaiN aazmaiN, tum khud mushkilaat ko
aazmao".............aur meraa dil ik naye housle se maa'moor hojata
he, meri manqood hotee huee ummeed, mere girte hue housle, ik nayee
angRayee le kar uTh khaRe hote haiN. Ik nayee tavanayee naee rooh
inhaiN ataa hotee he, umangaiN hee naheeN, tamaam nayee taqataiN usee
aik hastee kee tufail hain, jis kee zindagee meri manzil e maqsood
hai.
voh meer e kaarvaaN jis kaa raKHt e safar mahaz nigah buland, suKHan
dilnavaaz, aur jaan pursoz tha, kaarvaaN se ruKHsat hochukaa, lekin
ab bhee uskaa tassavvur, kaarvaaN ke liye, baang e daraa se kam
naheeN.
unkee zindagee aik shahaab e saqib kee see thee..........voh taareek
fizaa maiN jagmagayaa.....aur khatm hogaya.........lekin apne peeche,
aisee roshan aur taabnaak lakeer choR gayaa, jiskee roushnee maiN
bohot se bhole bhaTke apnee manziloN se jaa lagaiN ge.
