Yeh muhabbat banayi hi kyu gayi hai, Jo sirf taklif dena janti hai. Mera adhora pyaar, Mera safar muhabbat ka, jo tham sa Gaya ek pal mai hi. Ab dubara muhabbat na kr paogi. Chaha tha tumhe toot kr, ab apne hi kirche dhonte jodhte Kat dogi sari Mai umer.

- Urwa

Urwa apne kamre Mai baithi mobile Chala rahi thi ki tabhi uske phone pr call ati hai. Ali ka phone dekh kr urwa furan phone utha leti hai.

"Hello? Ali Bhai?" Pr Ali ki jagah koi dusra shaks bolta hai. "Urwa, Mai Ali nahi, ayan baat kr raha ho, Ali bhai hai Kya?" Ayaan ki awaaz ghabrayin howi thi jisko sun urwa bhi dar si jati hai. "N-Nahi, Ali Bhai tu yaha nahi hai, Kya howa ayaan tum pareshaan kyu ho? Ali Bhai ka phone tumhare pass kaise?" Urwa pareshaan hokr sawal krti hai. Pr ayaan ke paas usko jawab Deni ki fursaat nahi thi aur woh bina kuch khae phone cut kr deta hai.

Urwa pareshaan hokr jald Isa ko phone krti hai aur Sara Hal Isa ko batati hai. Isa yeh Sab sun kr pareshaan sa ho jata hai aur Ali ke Ghar chala jata hai janne ke liye ki Kya baat hogayi.

Ali ke Ghar ja kr Isa ko pata chalta hai ki maham Ghar chodh kr kahi chali gayi hai aur Ali us hi ko talash krne nikla hai. Fariha aunty aur uncle bhi buhut pareshaan the aur maham ko talash krne ki Puri koshish kr rahe the.

Maham ka you Chala jana bina kisi se kuch kahe yeh baat kisi ko samajh nahi arahi thi. Maham aisi ladki thi hi nahi Jo bina koi wajah ke itna bara kadam uthaye.

Isa ka Dil dahail Gaya maham ke yu kahi chale Jana ka sun kr. Ali aur Maham ki khushiyoun ke khatir Isa apni Khushi ko Khushi Khushi khatam krne ko razi tha pr Maham ko kabhi na dekhne ka khayal Isa bardash na kr sakta tha, woh us hi waqt maham ko talash krne waha se nikala jata hai.

Acchi tarah se janta ho ki tum mujhse muhabbat nahi krti. Itna khushnaseeb nahi hote sab. Jinka pehla Pyaar unse muhabbat krta hai. Chalo koi baat nahi tumhari muhabbat na sahi, pr tumhari dosti pr tu haq tha na Mera...pr yu tumhara Chala jana...tumne tu yeh bhi haq mujhse chin liya.
- Isa

***

Sabke ehsasat ko ehmiyat di humesha Maine, unko hasane ke khatir mazak khud ka banaya Maine. Muhabbat howi bhi tu kisse, jiski muhabbat ko Pura krte krte khud hi muhabbat kr baitha mai usse.

- Ayaan

Ayaan apni ammi ko pareshaan nahi dekh sakta tha aur ab Urwa aur uska pariwar bhi pahouch Chuka tha unke Ghar maham ka sun kr. Urwa sudh budh ban kr khadhi thi na Jane kyu badi hi ghabrayin howi pr Maine us baad ko nazar andaaz kr ke urwa ka dihaan behkana behtar samjha.

Mazakiya Andaaz Mai urwa se Maine kaha, "Kya howi mikky? Tum tu aise khari ho jaise maham ko tumne Jane ko majbur kiya ho. Aur ab uske na hone pr tumhe uski yaad satarahi hai." Bas Mera itna kehna tha ki urwa ke haath Mai pakra glass chot jata hai aur woh buhut ghabra si jati hai. "Y-Yeh k-kya keh rahe ho tum!! M-Mai aisa kyu karo gi, kyu chaho gi!?"

"Relax yaar Mai tu mazak kr Raha tha yaha sab ka mood light krne ke liye, tum theek tu ho?" Ayaan sawal krta hai naram lehze se urwa ke kandhe pr hath rakh kr. Pr uska haath urwa jhitak deti hai aur kehti, "Yeh mazak ka waqt nahi Ayaan! Ali Bhai kidhar hai? Unka kuch pata Chala? Kitne pareshaan hoge woh?" Yeh sab sun kr ayaan khamosh ho jata hai.

***

Bachapan ke sathi the hum, saath bade howe, hasi, mazak, rona, gana sab saath hi kiya. Humare darmiyaan kabhi koi na tha, tu shayad is wajah se kabhi mujhe ehsaas hi nahi howa ki jisko Mai apna sabse accha dost manti thi wohi Meri muhabbat hai. Pr ab jab mujhe ehsaas howa tu tum buhut dur ja chuke the.

- Zoya

Zoya apne kamre Mai baithi book padh rahi thi pr book Mai uska dihaan nahi tha. Reh reh kr uska khayal bar bar Abdullah ki aur ja Raha tha. Pehli dafa usne is kadr tekhe muskaan ke saath Zoya ko jawab diya tha aur phir you uska chale Jana. Ek baar bhi peche mur kr nahi dekha. Agar dekha hota tu shayad woh meri ankho Mai udasi dekhta. Uske Jane ki udasi.

Zoya nahi janti thi ki woh kaise yeh galat fehmi dur kare. Woh Haider ko nahi pasand krti aur na hi Haider usko pr woh yeh bhi nahi janti thi ki Haider nee yeh sab kyu kaha Abdullah se. Issi kashmakash Mai giri Zoya, apni pareshaani ka Hal soch hi rahi thi ki tabhi darwaze ki Bell bajti hai. Darwaza kholte Zoya samne khade Abdullah ko dekh dang si reh jati hai.

"Hey Zoya, kaisi ho...umm haha Mai bhi Kya bol raho ho thik thak tu dikh rahi ho tu think hi hogi.." Isse pehle Zoya Abdullah ko dekh kuch kehti Abdullah kehta hai. Abdullah ki awaaz se zahir tha ki Abdullah hichkicha Raha tha.Ghabrahat uske chehre se zahir ho Rahi thi.

"Ha...Mai thik ho, tum batao Kya howa?" Zoya apni Puri koshish Mai thi ki woh Abdullah ke samne normal dikhe pr uljhan uske man Mai usko chain lene nahi de rahi thi.

"Darasal Meri aane ki wajah koi khaas nahi...Mai yeh biscuits Dena Aya tha. Ammi me bhejwayi thi..." Abdullah biscuit box Zoya ko dete Howe kehta hai. Zoya box leke Jane lagti hai ki tabhi Abdullah Zoya ka haath pakr leta hai. Zoya ke Dil ek dafa tham sa jata hai. Zoya ne kabhi Abdullah ko is tarike nahi dekha hota hai. Aur Abdullah ka naya andaaz Zoya ko kafi pasand araha hota hai. Zoya peche mur kr Abdullah ko dekhti hai. Abdullah lambi saas le kr himat kr ke kehta hai,"Zoya, school Mai Jo kuch bhi howa usmai Meri galti thi. Mujhe mauf krdo. Mai buhut jazbati hogaya tha...shayad is wajah se ki mujhe dar tha ki hum dono ke darmiyaan koi tesra dakhil ho Raha tha. Pr Sach tu yeh tha ki hum dono ke beech dosti ke alawa koi rishta hi na tha. Mai bhi kitna matlabi ho. Maine kabhi tumhari ehsasat ka ehsas hi nahi kiya. Bachapan se saath rahe hai hum aur aachanak kisi ka ajana...Mai bardash nahi kr saka. Mujhe mauf krdo!"

Zoya hairaan thi Abdullah ki Baatein sun kr. Zoya ne kabhi khuwaab Mai bhi is pal ke bare Mai nahi socha tha. Zoya phir kehti hai,"Abdullah yeh baat Sach hai school Mai Jo tumne sab ke samne kiya woh galat tha...tumhe Haider ko yu Marna ya class Mai manzar banana nahi chahiye tha."

Abdullah neche sharmindigi se dekhne lagta hai aur muskura kr usko dekh kr kehta hai, "Mai janta ho Mai galat th-" "Aur Jo soch kr tumne Haider Mara woh bhi galat tha!" Abdullah ki baat cut krte Howe Zoya phir kehti hai.

"Mai Haider ko pasand nahi krti. Hum sirf dost hai. Mai nahi janti Haider ne aisa kyu kaha pr Mai itna zarur janti ho ki iske peche bhi koi na koi wajah zarur hogi. Haider aisa nahi hai. Aur Abdullah Mai yeh  janti ho ki tum mujhe pasand krte ho."

Yeh baat sun kr Abdullah hairani se Zoya ko dekh Raha hota hai. "Mai humesha se janti thi...pr Mai yeh quboolna nahi chati thi. Kahi na khai mere Dil Mai is baat ka khauf tha ki Jo kuch Meri maa ke saath howa woh kahani Mai dubara na dhura baithu...ki kis tarha meri maa ko woh shaks akela chor kr chal diya... muhabbat,kisi se muhabbat krne se pehle Mai apne aap se muhabbat krna chati ho. mujhe waqt chahiye apne aap ko sambhal ne apne pairoun pr khara hona chati ho Mai. Apni maa ke liye kuch krna chati ho Mai. Woh maa jisne akele Mujhe pala hai aur is kabil banaya hai. Abdullah, mujhe tumse maufi mangni chahiye, Maine tumhari muhabbat ko nazar andaaz kiya, buhut matlabi ho Mujhe mauf kardo."

"Z-Zoya Mai nahi janta is waqt Kya baat kehna munasib hai. Tum Meri muhabbat se wakif thi yeh sun kr Mujhe buhut hairani hai aur kahi na kahi Mujhe afsos bhi howa...is baat pr nahi ki tumne Meri muhabbat ko nazar andaaz kiya balke is baat pr ki Mai wakahi Mai Kam akal ho. Maine kabhi is pehlo pr ya tumhare ehsasat ko agae rak kr dekha hi nahi. Matlabi tu Mai bhi buhut ho." Has kr kuch is tarah afsos se Abdullah apne ehsas ko bayan krta hai.

Zoya is tarah Abdullah ko dekh kr bare hi muhabbat se usko dekhti hai,Zoya do kadam agae bharti hai aur muskura kr Abdullah se kehti hai," Abdullah Mujhe tumse ek ehsaan chahiye."

"Ehsaan? Kaisa ehasaan?" Abdullah sawal krta hai. Zoya muskurati hai aur kehti hai, "Kya tum mujh pr ehsaan karoge?Jab Tak Mai apne pairoun pr khari na hojao, jab Tak Mai apni maa ko kuch ban kr na dekha do,tab tak Kya tum mera intizaar Kar sakte ho?Mai tumhe khona nahi chati. Mai abhi muhabbat janti tu nahi Kya hoti hai pr Jo rishta humare darmiyaan hai Mai usko tudhtana nahi chati thi. Abdullah Mai tumhe nahi khona chati!"

Abdullah hairaan tha usse samjh nahi araha tha ki yeh hakiqat hai ya hai koi khuwab. Zoya ki har baat usko ek haseen khuwab ki tarah lag rahi thi pr tabhi uske zehan Mai ek baat ati hai aur woh udaas sa ho jata hai.

"Kya tum chahti ho Mai Zindagi bhar tumhara sirf dost raho?" Abdullah ki baat sun kr Zoya hairat se khari thi, bechari ko samajh nahi araha tha ki yeh baat sun kr woh hase ya roye. Akhir is bande Mai usne dekha hi kya Jo isse  muhabbat kr baithi woh.

Tabhi peche se hasne ki awaaz ati hai. Zoya aur Abdullah dono Zoya ki ammi Ramsha ko dekh sharam se Pani ho jate hai. Ramsha Abdullah aur Zoya ke beech howi har baat sun chuki thi.

***

Ajeeb fitrat hai insano ki. Insaan khud ko badal sakta hai pr apni fitrat ko nahi. Fitrat ek aisi cheese hai Jo insano ki izzat ka aur zillat ka sabab banti hai aur Mai nahi janta tha ki apni is fitrat ki wajah se mai apne hi pairoun pr hatori marloga.

- Haider

Haider apne dosto ke saath match dekh kr wapis laut Raha tha ki tabhi uski nazar Ayesha pr parti hai Jo ki apni couching class se laut rahi thi. Haider apne dosto ko Jane ko bolta hai aur Ayesha ka Rasta rukh leta hai. Ayesha usku dekhti hai phir bina kuch kahe dusri taraf se nikal nee ki koshish krti hai pr Haider ek baar phir Ayesha ka rasta rukh leta hai. Kuch dair dono Mai yahi chuha billi ka khel chalta hai akhir Mai Ayesha Tang aakr Haider se kehti hai, "Chahte Kya ho tum mujhse!? Rasta chodho mujhe Ghar Jana hai."

Haider muskura kr Ayesha ko dekhta hai aur phir kehta hai, "Puri sadak Khali hai tumko idhar hi se guzarna hai? Tum Kya chati ho?". Haider ki baat sun kr Ayesha ko gussa ata hai pr woh gusse ko pena behtar samajhti hai aur phir dusra Rasta iktiyaar krti hai. Yeh dekh Haider Ayesha ke peche peche chalne lagta hai.

Kafi dair aise chalne ke baad Ayesha phir peche mur kr dekhti hai ki woh Haider se keh sake ki uska pecha krna chodh de pr peche koi na dekh kr Ayesha idhar udhar Haider ki talash Mai dekhne lagti hai ki tabhi uske peche se Haider kehta hai, "Mujhe dhond rahi ho?" Peche se ati awaaz sun kr Ayesha chekh prti hai aur gusse se Haider se kehti hai, "Masla Kya hai tumhara? Kyu tum mujhe Tang kr rahe ho!? Zyada hi Khali waqt hai tu ja kr zoya ko Tang kyu nahi krte. Muhabbat hai na tumhe usse tu phir Mera pecha kyu nahi chodhte!!" Ayesha ke man Mai Jo kuch tha gusse se woh Sab nikal deti hai. Abdullah usko dekh muskurata hai, kuch is tarha se ankho Mai bhar ke pyara Ayesha ko dekhta hai ki Ayesha usko yu pehli dafa dekh rahi thi.

"Ab muskura kyu rahe ho!? Mazak bana rahe ho na tum. Tum mujhse khel rahe ho na! Sab janti ho!!" Ayesha yeh kehte kehte rone lagti hai. Haider phir do kadm kareeb ata hai aur Ayesha ka haath thamte Howe uski ankho Mai dekhta hai, phir kehta hai, "Maine us din Jo kaha tha woh sab Sach tha..." Yeh baat sunte hi Ayesha ke Dil ke ek nahi hazar tukdhe hogaye. Ankho Mai aanso phir bhar aye, phir Ayesha apna haath Haider ke haath se chodhane ki koshish krti hai pr Haider uska haath aur kas kr tham leta hai.

"Mujhe tum yeh sab kyu Bata rahe ho. Mujhe tumhari koi baat nahi sunni! Jane do mujhe!!" Ayesha rote howe aur gusse see kehti hai. "Kaise Jane do Mai tumhe? Meri baat abhi Adhori hai. Zoya ko Mai buhut pasand krta ho. Hum dono ek tarike se saath hi bare Howe. Zoya aur Mera class humesha ek hi Raha. Aur hum dono humesha top ke liye larte jhakrte rahe. Shuru Mai hum dono ek dusre see nafrat krte the, itni zyada ki ek dusre ko nochne ko dorte pr waqt buhut ajeeb hota hai. Najane kab hum larte jhakrte ek dusre ke itna kareeb agaye ki ek rishta sa Bangaya..."

" Haider! Bas karo mujhe aur nahi sun-" Ayesha gusse see kehti hai. Woh aur nahi sun sakti thi. Woh jisse se muhabbat krti hai wahi sakhs us hi ke samne kisi aur ladki ka zikr itne pyaar se kare. Uska Dil mano chir sa Raha ho. Chirchira pan aur gussa aur udasi aur Rona najane kitni tarah ke ehsasat Janam le rahe the uske Dil Mai pr uski baat Puri hone se pehle hi Haider uske hoto pr apna haath rakh kr usku khamosh kr deta hai phir uski ankho Mai aankh dal kr kehta hai, "Maine kaha na, abhi meri baat Adhori hai aur Aaj mujhe keh lene do. Agar Aaj Mai thair Gaya apni baat Adhori chodh di to Mai apni sari Umar pachtaw ga." Phir Haider dhere see apna haath uske hoto see Hatha ta hai ur phir Ayisha ka haath tham leta hai.

"Janti ho tum ki kitna badal Gaya ho Mai? Mere mijaaz ke khilaaf Aaj Mai apni baat kr Raha ho warna yeh mere mijaaz Mai nahi ki Mai apne ehsasat ko kisi dusre shaks ke saath baatuon. Isse tum andaaza laga lo ki kitni khaas ho tum mere liye..." Theki haasi Haas kr Ayesha Ek taraf apna sar mur leti hai, uska haath apne haath se jhitak kr Ayesha kehti hai, "Khaas? Mai khaas ho tumhare liye? Kya baat krte ho Haider! Mere ehsasat se khelna band krdo tum!! Aur Zoya ke bhi...mujhe koi Fark nahi parta ki Mai tumhare liya khaas ho ya nahi! Sab mard ek jaise hote hai pehle methi baat kr ke phasana aur phir-" "Mere sabr ka imtihaan mat lo Ayesha tum!!" Ab Haider ko gussa Ana shuru ho Chuka tha akhir ab uski Ana ko thais Jo pohach rahi thi. Haider gussa nigalte Howe Ayesha se kehta hai pr Ayesha khamosh na hoti hai aur phir kehti hai, "Sabr!? imtihaan!? Kon yeh baat kisse keh Raha hai!? Sabr tu Mai kr rahi ho tumhari muhabbat bhari Zoya ki Baatein sun kr! Jante ho mere Dil pr Kya beet rahi hai? Tum nahi samjho ge...ki kaisa lagta jab aap kisi ko muhabbat kare aur woh aap se nahi pr aapki acchi dost se muhabbat kare. Tum nahi samjhoge ki kitni takleef hoti hai jab aapko woh kisi aur ke saath hasta dekhe, tum nahi samjho ge ki in sab ke bawajud woh sakhs aapko Tut kr chahe. Nahi samjhoge tum yeh baat nahi samjho ge. Akhir tum sirf padhayi Mai Jo acche ho, In diloun ke khel tum nahi samjho ge." Ayesha gusse see kehte kehte rone lagti hai. Ab Haider khamosh tha.

Tuhri dair Haider khamoshi se Ayesha ko dekhta hai phir kehta hai, "Haa, sahi keh rahi ho Mai kabhi nahi samajh sakta aur nahi ab aur kuch Mai samajhna chahta ho...mere khayal se tumko ab aage bhar na chahiye. Kab Tak tum is kambhakt insaan se muhabbat karogi." Yeh keh kr Haider  palat kr waha se Jane ke liye do kadam barata hai, pr roti howi Ayesha ka Rona Haider se na dekha jata hai, uska zameer jhijodhta hai aur gusse se woh peche mur kr Ayesha ki taraf wapis jata hai phir Ayesha ko apna rumaal de kr waha se Chala jata hai. Ayesha, Haider ka rumaal zameen pr phekti hai gusse Mai ki tabhi tan se kuch girne ki awaaz sunayi parti hai. Ayesha jukh kr rumal uthati hai aur usme dekhti hai ki ek locket lipta howa tha.

Ayesha woh locket le kr Haider ki taraf daurti hai usko rukne ki liye pr Haider waha se ja Chuka hota hai.

Yeh kahani thi Pyaar ki,
Jo Adhori thi Bin Tere.

Mar gayi Meri muhabbat,
Nafrat nee liya ab hai Janam.

Zindagi kitni ajeeb hoti hai na, har koi musafir apne Safar pr nikala apni manzil ki talash Mai chalta, girta, sambhalta chalta hi Chala jata hai. Zindagi ka safar asan nahi, tanha yaha koi nahi chalt sakta, humsafar ke bina. Pr Maine faisla kiya hai ki safar Mai apna tanha teh karogi. Apne Humsafar ke khatir, uski muhabbat ko muqambal krne ke liye apne muhabbat ka gala gout kr Mai sada ke liye unski Zindagi se dour chalin jaogi.

Mujhe nahi maulm ki Mai tumhare bina, kaise Zinda raho gi aur Mar bhi nahi sakti apni maa baap ke khatir. Ajeeb kashmakash Mai giri howi ho mai. Khuda yeh kaisa imtihaan le rahe hai mera. Pr janti sirf Mai itna ho ki tumhari Khushi ke khatir Mai apne gam bhi pejao gi.

-Maham

Ankho Mai bhare aanson se Maham ek akhri baar peche mur kr dekhti hai ki mano woh kisi ka intezaar kr rahi. Mano ki woh chatin ho koi aakr usku rokh le pr flight announcement ki awaaz sun kr woh apne khayalo se bhar ati hai aur ansoun apne poch kr flight pr char jati hai. Kuch ki dair Mai flight apni uraan bharta hai aur le jati hai usku nayi safar ki our. Woh safar Jo maham nee apne liye chuna tha.

********

Muhabbat thi yaha,
Pr Ranjishe bhi thi buhut.

Khush the hum,
Ek dusre ke sang.

Kuch thi naitifakiya yaha,
Aur kuch galat fehmiya thi.

Is baat ko kr ke nazarandaaz,
Je rahe the hum.

Dosti yaari aur dushmani thi,
Zindagi ke is safar mai,

Pr phir kuch aisa mudh aaya,
Aur chod kr chal diye tum.

Raste juda Howe,
Manzile dhowa-dhowa.

Is jalti aag mai,
Hogayi Muhabbat humari fanaaa.
