Ajeeb si baat hai. Kitnay bhi bund bhaandh lo, kuch cheezoun ko behnay say rokna itna asaan naheen hota. Phir woh jazbaat main khud ka beh jaana ho ya jazbaat ka aankhoun say behna. Dono he bina batayay behtay hain aur insaan kuch kar naheen sakta.
Kabhi kabhi hum jazbaat main kuch itna beh jatay hain kay waqt say, loagoon say, zindagi say aur kismut say...sab say he kuch zada umeedain laga baithtay hain. Jaantay bhi hain kay yeh khud kay liyay sahi naheen. Per khud ko rok naheen patay. Yeh sab aagay barh jatay hain aur hum kaheen peechay chooth jatay hain. Jaisay mano rail garhi nikal parhi ho aur musafir kaheen peechay reh jayay. Woh station per kharha chilata rehta hai per uss ki awaaz tak kisi ko sunai naheen dayti. Woh haath hilata reh jata hai per rail garhi kay driver ka dhayaan toh kaheen aur he hota hai. Mutwajah hotay hain toh woh chandh loag jo musafir kay irdgird kharhay hotay hain. Per un main aur tamaashbeenoun main kuch zada farq naheen hota.
Bus hum main aur uss musafir main aik farq hota hai. Ussay toh uss ki manzil tak uss he rail garhi nay pohanchana hai. Per hum shayud apni rail garhi kay musafir he naheen. Jis ki hamain lugta hai hamain talaash hai woh shayud hamari manzil he naheen. Yeh baat samajhnay main bohat dair lug jaati hai aur tub tak cheekh cheekh kar gala sookh chuka hota hai. Uss rail garhi kay peechay bhaaghtay bhaaghtay pairoun main chalay ho chukay hotay hain. Saans phool chuki hoti hai. Aur uss khulay aasmaan talay bhi dum ghut raha hota hai. Aur aankhoun say beh janay walay jazbaat alug.
Rail garhi toh wapis aani naheen, so insaan aagay barhnay ki koshish bhi kabhi na kabhi toh karta hai. Bus aagay barhna itna asaan naheen hota. Khaas taur peh tub jab woh zindagi ki pehli ya doosri rail garhi naheen balkay itnaween ho kay ab toh ginnay kay liyay haath bhi na-kafi say lugtay hain. Phir insaan ya toh baar baar jazbaat main behta jata hai ya tung aa kar iss dar say kay kaheen ab jazbaat main na beh jaoun, khud ko aur apnay ehsaasaat ko aik dibay main bund kar layta hai. Dil hai, mehsoos toh phir bhi karay ga, per insaan uss kay izhaar ko ghairmumkin kar dayta hai. Aur iss sab main woh theek ho ya na ho per apnay irdgird sab ko yeh yakeen dilanay main kay sab theek hai aik zaroorat say zada barhi muskurahut pehnay phirta hai. Per jazbaat ko maar toh sakta naheen. So woh kab kahaan kaisay beh jayain yeh uss ko bhi maloom naheen.
Phir ya toh woh un motiyoun ko palkoun main samait layta hai aur behnay naheen dayta. Ya kuch iss tarhaan jhatak dayta hai iss dar say kay koi daikh na lay. Aur such main daikhta toh koi bhi naheen hai. Bus uss kay tanha honay ki dair hoti hai. Phir woh aisay zaar-o-qataar behtay hain kay moun ki awaaz toh shayud haath rok lay aur uss ki siski ki goonjh koi na sunay, per kuch bhi un aansoun ko naheen rok pata. Kuch chothi si bhi baat jo uss rail garhi ki yaad diladay, un aansoun kay liyay bulaway ki manind hoti hai. Aur insaan toh bus un ko samaytay phir say tanhai ka intizaar karta hai, keh thora toh inhain behnay doun. Shayud kuch behtar lagay. Per bus lugta naheen. Kyun kay insaan aagay toh barh sakta hai per apnay maazi ko chorh naheen sakta.
Pata naheen zindagi main umeed lagana ghalut hai ya na chorhna ghalut. Per kabhi kabhi lugta hai kay yeh toh bohat aam si umeed thee. Umeed bhi naheen, yeh toh woh khushi thee jo sab ki he hoti hai. Main koi mukhtalif toh naheen. Bus shayud meri umeed na poori hona kuch mukhtalif hai. So apna samaan uthayay chal musafir. Takleef toh ho gee. Kya karain...ho ga toh wohi jo manzoor-e-khuda ho ga, kuch toh milay ga toh kuch toh juda ho ga. Tu muskuratay huay bus yeh yaad rakh. Zindagi main jitni barhi mussibut, utni barhi rakho muskurahut. Dard kum toh naheen ho ga, per lumhay bhar ko he sahi zehun peh kuch aur sawaar ho ga, chahay waqti khushi he. Kon janay kitna waqt hai apnay paas. Jitna hai, muskuranay ki koshish karo. Kya pata lumhay bhar kay liyay he, tum phir say dil say khush ho jao.
