na-gahan aur be-nihayat

MORE BYSatyapal Anand

    ''nā-gahāñ'' aur ''be-nihāyat'' se agar pīchhe haTogī to tujhe ma.alūm hogā

    nā-gahāñ to maiñ huuñ lekin kaun thā vo be-nihāyat

    koī pichhlā jis ne tujh ko mujh se pahle

    terī kachchī umr meñ

    yuuñ chiir kar zaḳhmī kiyā thā taḌaptī rah ga.ī thī aur ye kaḌvā-kasīlā zahr

    sote jāgte ḳhvāboñ meñ amrit jaan kar piitī rahī hai

    kyuuñ bhalā? kyuuñ ''nūr'' ''naġhme'' kisī ''harf-e-tasallī'' se

    tarah naars ḳhalā ḳhālī rahā itne dinoñ tak?

    aur ab phir aaj agar ik nā-gahānī hādse meñ

    nā-gahāñ se aa milī hai apnī pakkī umr meñ to yuuñ samajh

    jaise ki kachchī aur pakkī donoñ umroñ meñ koī nisbat nahīñ hai

    pūchh ḳhud se

    ek chauthā.ī sadī ke ba.ad phir kyuuñ

    justujū hai tujh ko us zālim darinda-sifat kii, jis ko ye kah kar

    chhoḌ aa.ī thī jhaTak kar, ''ek vahshī jānvar ho be-nihāyat

    tum se nafrat hai mujhe''

    ''nā-gahāñ'' kyā ''be-nihāyat'' tarah vahshī nahīñ thaa?

    haañ, magar vo jānvar shāyad nahīñ thā

    (jānvar, tum jāntī ho, chīrte haiñ, phāḌte haiñ!)

    is liye ab tajraba vo apnī pakkī umr meñ dohrā ke ḳhud

    ''harf-e-tasallī'' sahārā chāhtī ho?

    ḳhud se pūchho, kyā ye sachchā.ī nahīñ hai?

    na-gahan aur be-nihayat se agar pichhe haTogi to tujhe malum hoga

    na-gahan to main hun lekin kaun tha wo be-nihayat

    koi pichhla jis ne tujh ko mujh se pahle

    teri kachchi umr mein

    yun chir kar zaKHmi kiya tha tu taDapti rah gai thi aur ye kaDwa-kasila zahr

    sote jagte KHwabon mein amrit jaan kar piti rahi hai

    kyun bhala? kyun nur naghme ya kisi harf-e-tasalli se

    tarah nars KHala KHali raha itne dinon tak?

    aur ab phir tu aaj agar ek na-gahani hadse mein

    na-gahan se aa mili hai apni pakki umr mein to yun samajh

    jaise ki kachchi aur pakki donon umron mein koi nisbat nahin hai

    puchh KHud se

    ek chauthai sadi ke baad phir kyun

    justuju hai tujh ko us zalim darinda-sifat ki, jis ko ye kah kar

    chhoD aai thi jhaTak kar, ek wahshi jaanwar ho be-nihayat

    tum se nafrat hai mujhe

    na-gahan kya be-nihayat ki tarah wahshi nahin tha?

    han, magar wo jaanwar shayad nahin tha

    (jaanwar, tum jaanti ho, chirte hain, phaDte hain!)

    is liye ab tajraba wo apni pakki umr mein dohra ke KHud

    harf-e-tasalli ka sahaara chahti ho?

    KHud se puchho, kya ye sachchai nahin hai?
