ghareeb aadmi aur boorha
ghareeb aadmi aur boorha, puranay zamane ki baat hai ke aik gaon mein do bhai rehtay thay. bara bhai to Ameer tha, lekin chhota bhai tha kangaal .
aik dafaa naye saal ke din jab ke sara shehar jashnn ki tayari kar raha tha is chhootey bhai ke ghar khanay ko chawal nah thay. woh –apne barray bhai se aik sair chawal udhaar mangnay ke liye gaya, lekin is ne usay tika sa jawab day diya .
jab woh na umeed ho kar wapas araha tha to usay rastay mein lakri ka bhaari ghatta uthaye hue aik boorha mila. boorhay ne is se poocha :
” tum kahan jarahay ho? maloom hota hai tum kisi museebat mein parre hue ho ?’ ‘
chhootey bhai ne usay apni museebat ki saari kahani suna di. boorhay ne usay hosla dilatey hue kaha.’ ‘ agar tum lakri ke is ghutter ko mere ghar tak pouncha do to mein tumhe aik aisi cheez dun ga jis ki madad se tum malaa maal ho jao gay. ‘
chhota bhai bohat reham dil tha. is ne lakri ka ghatta sir par rakh liya aur boorhay ke peechay peechay chal diya .
ghareeb aadmi aur boorha, ghar pahonch kar boorhay ne usay aik maal pawwa diya aur kaha.’ ‘ is ko le kar tum mandir ke peechay jo jungle hai, wahan jao. wahan aik bill hai jis mein bohat se bonay rehtay hain. un bonon ko yeh maal poy bohat pasand hain. woh kisi bhi qeemat par usay haasil karna chahain ge .
is waqt is ke badlay mein tum dhun doulat nah maangna balkay pathar ki aik chuki maang lena. baad mein tumhe is chuki ki karamaat maloom hojaye gi .
boorhay se rukhsat ho kar chhota bhai is jungle mein aaya. mandir se kuch daur usay aik bil mein bohat se bonay nikaltay aur andar jatay nazar aaye. woh aik darakht ko khech kar –apne bil tak le jane ki koshish kar rahay thay. yeh un ke liye bohat mushkil kaam tha .
chhootey bhai ne kaha.’ ‘ acha mein tumahray liye yeh darakht bil tak le chalta hon.’ ‘ bil ke paas aakar usay aik Maheen si Aawaz sunai di.’ ‘ mujhe bachaiye mein mrjaon ga.’ ‘ yeh sun kar chhootey bhae ne ghabra kar charon taraf dekha. is ke paon ki unglio ke beech mein aik nanha sa bona bheencha ja raha tha. is ne bonay ko jhat se utha liya. asal mein yeh bonon ka raaj kumar tha .
bonon ke raaj kumar ki nazar jab maal poy par gayi to woh bola :’ ‘ meharbani kar ke yeh maal pawwa mujhe day degiye. is ke badlay mein aap ko bohat se jawahraat dun ga.’ ‘ lekin chhootey bhai ko boorhay ki baat yaad thi. is ne maal poy ke badlay mein pathar ki chkki mangi .
raaj kumar ne Raja se sifarish ki to is ne chkki dena Manzoor kar liya. jab chkki le kar chhota bhai chalne laga to bonay Raja ne kaha.’ ‘ dekho bhai yeh hamaray raaj ki sab se qeemti cheez hai. is ka istemaal soch samajh karna. tum is chkki ko dahni taraf se chakkar day kar jo cheez mango ge woh is mein se nikalnee shuru hojaye gi. aur jab tak usay baen taraf se chakkar nahi do ge woh cheez nikalti hi jaye gi .
ghareeb aadmi aur boorha, chhota bhai pathar ki chkki le kar ghar aaya. is ki biwi –apne shohar ke intzaar mein bhukhi pyaasi baithi hui thi. shohar ko khaali haath atay dekh kar woh bohat na umeed hui magar chhootey bhai ne atay hi kaha.’ ‘ jaldi se farsh par chitaai bachao.
chitaai par chkki rakh kar chhootey bhai ne usay dahni taraf se ghuma kar kaha’ ‘ chawal niklo’ ‘ bas itna kehna tha ke chaawlon ke dhair lag gaye. phir woh bola’ ‘ machhli niklo’ ‘ ab machhli niklana shuru hogayi. is terhan is ko jin jin cheezon ki zaroorat thi woh sab is ne chkki se haasil karlen .
phir usay khayaal aaya ke ab to mein Ameer aadmi hon. mujhe to aliiiii shaan makaan mein rehna chahiye. is liye is ne chkki ko ghuma kar naya makaan astabal, godaam gharz yeh ke shaan o Shaukat ki sab cheeze maang len. phir is ne –apne arhos paros ke sab logon ko dawat di. is terhan is ne naye saal ka jashnn khoob dhoom dhaam se manaya .
yeh dekh kar bara bhai sochnay laga ke mera chhota bhai aik raat mein likh patti kyun kar ban gaya. is mein zaroor koi bhaid hai. woh choup kar darwazay ke peechay khara hogaya. is ne dekha ke chhota bhai aik chkki ko ghuma kar mithai ke tokron ke tokray bhar raha hai aur inhen mehmanon ko day raha hai. barray bhai ne iradah kar liya ke mein kisi nah kisi terhan is chkki ko zaroor haasil karoon ga .
raat ko jab sab so rahay thay woh –apne bhai ke ghar pichwaray se ghisa aur chkki utha kar nikal bhaga. chkki ko le kar woh aik kashti mein sawaar ho gaya aur iradah kya ke kisi allag jazeeray mein usay le jaoon aur likh patti ho jaoon. sun-hwa aisa ke apni kashti mein zaroorat ki aur sab cheeze to woh le aaya tha magar namak lana bhool gaya tha. is ne chkki chala kar kaha :’ ‘ namak niklo, namak niklo’ ‘
ghareeb aadmi aur boorha, yeh kehnay ki der thi ke chkki mein se dheron namak niklana shuru hogaya. barray bhai ko chkki roknay ka tareeqa maloom nahi tha. nateeja yeh sun-hwa ke namak ke boojh se bara bhai ki kashti samandar mein doob gayi .
kehte hain isi waqt se woh chkki samandar mein barabar chal rahi hai aur is ke namak se samandar ka sara pani khara ho raha hai .
