Magar Tum…
Mujhe yaad hai voh mausam jab her taraf dhuul urah kerti thi, loog kush bechain se rehte the, din lambe aur raatain choteen theen, darakhtoon ke saaye jald hi gehre ho jate the, aur garam hawah chalti the. Log dhoop se bachte the, sabzah sukhta ja raha tha, phool murjahte ja rahe the aur asmaan dooph ki tezi ki wajah se kush pela pela sa lagta tha. Voh jab loog halke rangoon keh kapre pahante the. Voh mausam ghuzar geya.
Mujhe yaad hai voh mausam, jab beech din keh kush andehra sa ho geya tha, logon keh cheroon per kush khoi hovi roonakain wapis aa raheen theen, jab hawah kush thendi ho gayi the aur phir pani ke chote chote katre, asmaan ki janib se girne lage. Jab dakhte hi dakhte, unhi katroon ne har taraf pani pani ker diya, jab bache uss main khail rahe the aur pani main kaghaz ki kashtiyoon ko kisi choti si tehni se hila rahe the. Jab loog khusi mana rahe the aur sabzah dhul ker aur hara ho geya tha. Jab matti main se ik ajeeb si kushbu aati thi jo maan ko bohat bhati thi. Voh jab ik boond pehle se khare hove pani per girti the tu kush ajeeb se dayre banati the. Jab aisa aksar hota tha, voh mausam bhi guzar geya.
Mujhe yaad hai voh mausam jab shaamain kush jaldi hone lageen theen aur kush gehri neeleen hone lageen theen, jab darakhtoon keh pate girne lage the, jab voh ghir keh sookh gaye the, jab unn per chalne se ik khaas awaz aati thi aur jane kyu voh awaz achi lagti the. Jab sare pate gir gaye the aur darakh jese khamosh ho gaye the. Voh jab shaamian ik lamhe ke liye ruk si jateen theen aur uss ik lamhe main hazaroon yaadain dil ke darwaze per dastak de jateen theen. Voh mausam bhi guzar geya.
Mujhe yaad hai voh mausam, din chote aur raatain lambi ho gayeen theen, jab loog dhoop main rehna pasand kerte the, jab parindeh bhi jaldi gharoon ko laut jate the. Jab logon keh cheroon per ik madham si kushi the, jab bolo to moo se duwaan nikalta tha, voh jab raat ko aag jalaker iss ke ird gird bethte the, voh jab chimniyain duur se poorane rail ka engine lagti theen. Voh jab subah zara kam nazar aata tha, voh kush aisa jese zameen per badal uter aaye hoon ya phir unhi chemniyoon ka duwaan charoon taraf phail geya hoo. Voh jab bache raatoon ko bistaroon main ghus ker, baroon se pari aur deu ki kahaniyaan sunte the aur sunte sunte soo jate the, shahid ussi paristaan main kaheen kho jate the. Lakin voh mausam bhi guzar geya.
Mujhe voh mausam bhi yaad hai jab darakhtoon keh pate dubarak nikalne lage the aur terhaan terhaan keh phool khilne lage the, jab saroon main ik khusi ki laher daur gayi the, jab logon ke cheroon per ik zindagi si aa gayi the, jab her taraf rang bikhar gaye the, voh jab patangain urrah kerteen theen, voh jab darakh phir se jaag gaye the, voh jab parindehh gane gate the, voh jab din phir se khul se gaye the, aur her khoi hovi cheez wapis aa gayi the, maghar…
Mujhe yaad hai keh ye mausam bar bar aaye maghar, tum… tum nahi aaye.
Mujhe yaad hai keh jane se pehle tum ne kaha tha keh raste to bohat se hain lakin main uss raste per chaloon ga jiss per qadmoon keh wapisi keh nishaan na honge, kyu keh uss rahte per chalne wala wapis nahi aata per jeet jata hai…
