Pyaari Si Zindagi - 07

"Woh shaam kuch ajeeb thi...
Yeh shaam bhi ajeeb hai.
Woh kal bhi paas paas thi...
Woh aaj bhi kareeb hai"

aaaaaccchoooooo!!!
yehi anjaam hota hai baarish mein bheegne se!
ek-do ghante hote toh phir bhi thik tha...
par... poori raat!!!
yeh paagalpan nahi toh kya hai?

garma-garam coffee ka cup haath mein liye,
kandhoan pe shawl oadhe, sir par vicks male,
prem aag ke saamne apne pair saek raha tha...

dur kahin raste se,
kisike hasne ki aawaz aa rahi thi...
prem apni jagah se utha, aur apne aap...
uss aawaz ki aor badha...

khidki se jhaank ke dekha...
toh raaste ke beech mein,
ek akeli ladki,
apni hi dhundh mein magan,
bachchi bani,
uchal-uchal ke barish mein bheeg rahi thi!

uski muskaan ekdum ek bachi jaisi thi!
prem bas dekhta hi reh gaya...

uss ladki ne halke se apni palkein uthayi...
un dono ki nazrein mili...
aur...
uss ladki ne ek pyaari si smile di...

prem waapas smile karne hi waala tha...
ke itne mein... ek lamba chauda sa ladka,
haath mein ek chaata liye,
uss ladki ki aor badha...

kuch der baad, dono haathoan mein haath daale...
coffee house ki taraf chalne lage...

ek chota sa lamha,
prem ko uss shyaam ki yaad dila gaya...
kai saaloan pehle...
jab aise hi,
ek maasoom si ladki,
raaste ke beechoan beech khadi...
apni hi dhoond mein magan,
kuch bachchoan ke saath khel rahi thi...

aur isi tarah... ek ladka...
ek chaate ke saath uski aor badha...

woh thi... prem aur anu ki....
pehli mulaakaat!!!

Aug 7...

"rona chaha... toh aansooan ne saath choad diya...
hasna chaha... toh muskuraahat dagaa de gayi..."

aaj anu ka janamdin tha!
prem raat ke baraah baje se jaag raha tha!
par ab tak, usne anu ko wish nahi kiya...

itcha toh badi thi anu ke ghar jaakar,
usse surprise karne ki...
lekin... uss din ke baad...
uski himmat hi nahi hui!

prem anu se milne ke liye,
ek mahine se tadap raha tha...
saare gile-shikwe mitaakar,
usne ek hafte pehle ko yeh faisla kar liya tha,
ki chahe kuch bhi ho jaaye...
wah anu ke janamdin pe usse zaroor milega!!

par uss din...
ek hafte pehle...
jab usne phon uthaaya...

prem hello kehne hi waala tha...
itne mein saamne se aawaaz aayi...
wah aawaaz... anu ki thi!!!

anu ro rahi thi...
uncle-aunty usse delhi bhej rahe the...
uski mama ke paas... padhai karne ke liye...
paanch saal ke liye!!!

anu se raha nahi gaya!
usse kisi bhi tarah prem ko bataana tha...
par prem...
prem ne khamoshi mein panah lee...
apne tute hue dil ke tukdoan ko samatete hue,
usne anu se kahaa:
"joh hota hai, achche ke liye hota hai... all d best...
sada khush rehna... naseeb mein hoga,
toh phir milenge..."
aur prem ne phone kaat diya...

aaj... anu ke janamdin par...
prem ne aakhir kaar,
apne andar kaid toofan ko raahat de hi di!!!
ek mahine baad...
ek mahine baad...
prem ke sabar ka baandh toot gaya!!!

ussi pahaad par baithe, jahaan woh aksar mila karte the...
prem ne apne aansuoan ke sailaab ko behne diya...

apni kismat ko bura-bhala keh,
ek ghante tak, prem ne apne naseeb ko koasa!!!
aasmaan mein dubte suraj si haalat ho gayi thi prem ki...
prem ke gamoan ka bojh to vishal ambar bhi nahi utha payaa...

aur... wah baras padaa.....

"ajeeb daastaan hai yeh...
kahaan shuru kahaan khatam...
yeh manzilein hain kaun si...
na woh samajh sake na hum!!!"

aaj, na jaane kyun,
subah se hi...
prem ke chehre pe ek muskurat kaayam thi...

naya mahina jo aaya tha...
prem ka favorite mahina!
tyohaaroan ka mahina...
friendship day, rakshabandhan, swatantrata diwas!
aur...
anu ke janamdin ka mahina!
is saal, anu aathaara ki hone waali thi!

itni saari taiyyari baaki thi!
prem anu ke liye surprise party jo de raha tha...
balloons kharidne the,
cake order karni thi,
phooloan ka bandobast karna tha,
khane ki list banani thi...
sab ko invites bhejne the...
hey bhagwaan!!!
anu ka gift laana baaki tha!

isi uchal kudh ke maahoal mein,
prem ko yeh yaad hi nahi raha...
ek mahina beet chuka tha,
anu se dosti tode...

na anu ne prem ko koi phone kiya tha,
na koi email, na sms,
aur nahi usse milne ki koshish ki thi...

prem aur anu ke beech mein jhagda hona,
bahut hi maamuli baat thi...
itni maamuli, ki agar wah dono,
bina jhagda kiye baat karein,
toh unke mummy-paapa ko tension ho jaati thi!

agle hafte anu ka birthday tha!
hadbadi mein, prem apni hi dhund mein,
anu ke liye card kharidne, ghar se niklaa...

prem ne bahaar kadam rakhkha hi thi...
ke achanak se...
phone bajne laga...

Pyaari Si Zindagi - 04

july 30...


"hazaaroan ki bheed mein bhi akela sa lage...
sab kuch hote hue bhi, kisi cheez ki kami si lage..."

bas ek din reh gaya tha mahina khatam hone ko...
dekhte hi dekhte waqt kaise beeta, pata hi nahi chala...

prem ne toh socha tha, ki anu ke bina,
wah jee hi nahi paayega...

par na jaane kab prem ko yeh lagne lagaa...
ki shaayad... anu is kaabil nahi...
shaayad... uski zindagi itni sasti nahi...
shaayad... yeh zindagi ka sirf ek mode hai...
shaayad... aage jaakar, yeh ek kissa, uske liye,
ek mahatvapurna sabak banega...

har yaad se kuch na kuch haadsaa zaroor juddaa hota hai...
kuch lamhe aisi hote hain,
jo ek dhundli tasveer ki tarah zehen mein bass jaate hain...
toh kuch lamhe aise bhi hote hain,
jo aankhoan mein nami aur hotoan pe ek halki si hasi choad jaate hain...

aaj... kuch aisa hi lamha,
prem ko sataa raha tha..
wah lamha... jo aandhi ki tarah aaya...
aur prem sukh chaein,
aapne saath udaa le gayaa...

prem ko yaad aa rahi thi woh raat ...
jab do saal pehle, raat ke dus baje,
usne anu ke darwaaze pe khatkhataaya...
aur neend bhari aankhein masalte hui,
anu ne darwaaza khola...

prem humesha se hi anu se dooriyaan banaye rakhta tha...
iss darr se, ke agar anu ko uski feelings ki bhanak bhi lag gayi,
toh prem anu ki dosti bhi kho dega...

anu chup chaap apne ghar se bahar nikli,
aur prem ka haath thaame, usse balcony mein bithaaya...
phir andar jaake coffee banayi...
aur bina ek shabd kahe, prem ke haathoan mein coffee ka mug thama diya...

halke se uske paas aake baithi,
dheere se uske kandhe par apna sir rakha...
aur yunhi ek ghanta, dono...
chup chaap... khamoshi mein baithe rahe...

prem se saha naa gayaa...
usne kaha... "mujhe maaf kardo... itni raat ko tumhein disturb kiya...
lekin, pata nahi kyun... kuch ajeeb sa lag raha tha.
ek ajeeb si ghuttan mehsoos ho rahi thi ghar pe..."

anu ne apni jhuki hui palkein uthaayi aur wah prem se kuch kehne waali thi...
ek pal ke liye, prem ki saansein tham gayi!!!
prem apni best friend ko khona nahi chahta tha...
kisi bhi keemat par, apne pyaar se zyaada, usse apni dosti pyaari thi!!!
par yeh kambakhat ghuttan!!!

anu ne sirf itna hi kaha:
"tumhein aur coffee chahiye???"

prem anu ki oar mudaa... unki nazrein mili...
prem ne socha chalo keh hi deta hoon aaj...

itne mein anu bol padi...
"tum mere sabse achche dost ho prem! main tumhein khona nahi chahti...
koi baat hai toh please mujhe bataao..."

aur achanak... prem ke muh se nikalne waale shabdh,
uske gale mein hi atak gaye...
wah jaise bhool hi gaya ki wah aaj anu se apne pyaar ka izzhaar karne waala tha!!!

prem sirf yeh keh payaa:
" bahut der ho gayi hai... mujhe chalna chahiye... "
aur muskuraahat ka mukhoata oodhe,
sannate bhare andhere mein chalte hue...
apne ghar laut gaya...

kya aaj, do saal baad,
prem ko is baat ka afsoas ho raha tha???
ki kyun uss din wah khamosh raha???
kyun uss din wah peeche hata???

zyaada se zyaada kya hota?
naa keh deti?
dosti toad deti?

wah toh waise bhi tut chuki hai!!!

aur ab... reh gayi hai thi toh bas...
beete lamhoan ki yaadein...

Pyaari Si Zindagi - 03

July 25...

"har ek muskurahat muskaan nahi hoti
nafrat ho ya mohabbat aasaan nahi hoti"

ghane andhere mein...
chup chaap, akele se ek kone mein,
apni tanhaayi mein dooba,
sir jhukaye, baitha tha prem...

saansein toh chal rahi thi,
magar jo, kuch din pehle hua...
usse yaad karke,
ab bhi kaap utht ta tha prem...

july 15 -  anu ka janamdin tha!
july 15 -  prem ka maran din ho sakta tha!

uss shyaam...
anu ki yaadon mein khoye..
prem khud ko bhi kho sakta tha...

chaand ke moah mein,
prem sitaaroan ka saath kho raha tha...

woh sitaare, jo amaavas ki raat mein bhi,
prem ka saaya bana karte the...
woh sitare, jinhein dekhkar, prem aksar socha karta...
'kash... yeh chaand asmaan mein hota hi nahi...
raat bhar centre of attraction bana rehta hai
aur mere pyaare se sitaaroan ko background artist bana deta hai!'

aaj woh hi chaand, prem ko sitaaroan se jyaada priy ho chal tha!!
aaj... anu ka nasha is kadar uspe chaya tha, ki
usse paane ki chaah mein, prem apne dostoan se dur ho raha tha...

par agar anu ko paana hi tha...
to prem na aakhir usse rishta toda hi kyun???
