"Ruhaan!"

Gehri raat kay sannattey mein Safoorah hrbarraa kay yeh lafz duhraatey uthi thi. Uska maatha jism paseeney se sharaboor tha aur gehrey lmbey saans le rahi thi. Woh khwaab daikh rahi thi.
Nahi.
Yeh maazi ki ek yaad khwaab bn kar roz raat ki trhan aj raat phir ayi thi.

Usney ird gird daikha jese yaad krna chaha ho kay woh kahan hai, kiya waqt hai.
Gharri par nazar daali toh subah kay 3 bj rahey thai.
Tahajjud ka waqt tha.

Woh maathey se paseena saaf karti, chadar parrey hatati side table par para paani ka glass utha kar ek saan mein pee gyi thi.

Ab woh kuch behtr lg rahi thi. Apne baal halkey joorrey mein baandh kar, woh apne saath soyi zaira ka lehaf theik karney uthi thi. Uski trf ka lamp kamrey mein halki zard roshni baikhaiyr raha tha. Safoorah ne abhi lihaaf sahi trha orhaya hi tha kay ek album uskay paoun kay qareeb zameen par a giri. Album par darmyaan ka safa khula tha jis par unn chaaro ki teen saal pehle ki tasveerain collage ki surat mein muskura rahi thi.

Tasveerain bhi ajeeb hoti hai. Waqt ko amar kar deti hain. Woh muskurahat who khushi hamesha kay liye uss lamhey mein qaiyd ho kar apni yaad chor jaati hain. Safoorah ne ek nazar bhi daikhai beghair uss album ko bairehmi se bnd kia tha. Har yaad apni awaaz aur muskurahat kay saath dabb gyi.
Woh issey daraz mein rakhti bathroom ki trf gyi aur darwaza bnd kia. Woh raat na garam thi na thandi. Bass tehri hui khamosh siyah raat...

Wuzzu krney k lye sink pe haath rakhey sar jhuka kay kharri thi. Saamney ayna tha. Ayna jiski aanko mein aankhain daal kar ab Safoorah nai daikha krti thi. Aur jo kbhi daikh bhi leti to ziada dair seh na paati thi. Yeh khud ka aqs hi daikhna kia yaad dilata tha ussey, maazi mein guzrey 2 khoobsurat saal ya 3 azeeyat amaiz saal. Kia sahi tha? Kia ghalat? Kia dhoka tha? Kia azmaaish? Kuch samjh e nai aya bas waqt 4 zindiyo ko apne saath ghaseetta ley gya tha.

Dhai saal se Aurangzeb ki saari zameenay aur kaam ab woh aur Zaira smbhaalti thi. Lekin aaj phir se kisi ne khoyey huey rishto ka thapar mun pe de maara tha. 3 saal ho gye duniya ka zehar kaano mein ghultey huey aur aj bhi raahein ussi trha rawaa hain. Faraq hai to itna kay iss zehar ki karwahat se na Safoorah bch saki, na Zaira aur na Aarish. Zindagi ajeeb hai buht ajeeb.
Yeh pehle kohrey pathar ko muskurana sikhaati hai.
Phir ussi pathar ko dard se torr kar takleef mein bhi muskurana sikhati hai.
Yeh pehle jeet ka urooj deti hai.
Phir uss hi takht se gira kar haar ki asal jeet se ashna karwati hai.
Kon jaaney akhir kia hai zindagi? Jb waqt hota hai to samjh nai aati aur jb smjh aati hai toh waqt nai hota.

Woh thandey paani se mun par cheethay maartey ab kohniyo tak apne baazu bhigo rahi thi. Wuzu mukammal kar kay baahir ayi to kamra abhi bhi neem andhere mein dooba tha. Zaira so rahi thi. Woh dupatta lapaittey, kamrey se bahir nikal ayi thi. Sunsaan kaatti khamosh haveli ki deewarein ajeeb wehshat amaiz lgti thi iss pehar.
Seeriyaan utartey woh seedha Aurangzeb shah kay kamrey ki trf barh gyi thi. Andr halki zard roshni thi aur koi bistarr par kisi baijaan jism ki trhan chitt laita tha. Woh unkay qareebb ayi aur paas baith gyi thi.
