Garmi Ka Zor, Mehangai Ka Shor... Aur Hum

Kia haal dosto? Lagta hai garmi ne phir se elan-e-jang kar diya hai. Bahar niklo to sooraj apni poori duty nibha raha hota hai aur bazaar jao to mehangai apna jalwa dikha rahi hoti hai. Kabhi kabhi dil karta hai zor se pukar kar kahoon...

"Garmi ka zor hai aur mehangai ka shor hai... duhai ho, banda faryad le kar kahan jaye!"

Phir khayal aata hai ke shikayat se na mausam badalta hai aur na rates. Aakhir mein sahara sirf sabr aur qana'at hi ban jata hai. Jo mil gaya us par shukar aur jo nahi mila us ke liye dua... filhal isi formula par zindagi chal rahi hai.

Kal raat chaand bhi ajeeb andaaz mein nazar aaya. Purnima ka chaand badalon ke peechay chupta, phir jhalak dikhata aur phir dobara ojhal ho jata. Aisa lag raha tha jaise asmaan khud koi kahani suna raha ho. Hawa mein narmi thi aur kuch lamhon ke liye mehsoos hua ke poori kainaat ne apni raftaar dheemi kar di hai. Kabhi kabhi qudrat itni khamoshi se dil ko sukoon de deti hai ke alfaaz ki zarurat hi nahi rehti.

Aj ka din bhi kaam mein guzra. Jism thaka hua tha, lekin thakan sirf badan ki nahi hoti. Kuch thakan soch ki bhi hoti hai. Roz ki daur dhoop ke darmiyan insaan kabhi kabhi khud se bhi door ho jata hai. Phir shaam ko jab tanhai milti hai to dimagh purane safhay khol kar baith jata hai.

Mujhe aksar zindagi se zyada maut aur aakhirat ke bare mein sochna pasand hai. Shayad is liye ke duniya ka safar chahe jitna lamba lagay, asal manzil to us ke baad hi shuru hoti hai. Yeh khayal insaan ko daraata bhi hai aur sudhaarta bhi. Jab yaad rahe ke aik din har hisaab dena hai, to bohat se faislay aasaan ho jate hain.

Aur haan... khwab dekhne ki koi umar nahi hoti. Kuch log bees saal ki umar mein umeed haar dete hain aur kuch log sattar saal ki umar mein naya safar shuru kar dete hain. Jab tak saans hai tab tak naya khwab dekhna bhi zinda rehne ki nishani hai.

Logon ki tanqeed ka bhi apna hi mausam hota hai. Agar aap kuch na karein to bhi baat hogi, aur agar kuch kar guzrein to aur zyada baat hogi. Is liye sab ko khush karne ki koshish mein apni khushi qurban kar dena koi aqalmandi nahi. Jo kaam theek lagta hai, niyyat saaf ho aur zameer mutmain ho... bas wahi kaafi hai.

Kabhi kabhi lagta hai sara din khud ko sambhalne mein guzar jata hai. Phir raat hoti hai aur yaadon ki halki si hawa chalti hai. Bas wahi hawa dobara bikhair deti hai jo din bhar sambhala tha. Shayad isi ka naam zindagi hai... roz bikharna aur roz khud ko phir se jor lena.

Mujhe lagta hai insaan ko itna masroof zaroor rehna chahiye ke fuzool ki udaasi us tak pahunch hi na sake. Khali dimagh aksar purani yaadon ka museum ban jata hai. Kaam sirf rozi ka zariya nahi, kabhi kabhi dil ko bachane ka tareeqa bhi hota hai.

Aur jab insaan apna maamla Allah Ta'ala ke hawalay kar deta hai to phir dil ka bojh halka hone lagta hai. Har cheez apne ikhtiyar mein rakhna namumkin hai, lekin Allah par yaqeen rakhna har waqt mumkin hai. Dua kabhi chhorni nahi chahiye.

Ya Ghafur-ur-Raheem! Hamari kamai mein barkat ata farma, use halal aur paakiza rakh. Hamare dilon ko sukoon de, humein apni hifazat aur rehmat ke saaye mein rakh aur hamari duaein qubool farma. Ameen Ya Rabb-ul-Alameen.

Aur chaliye... itni sanjeedgi ke baad muskurahat ke saath baat khatam karte hain.

«"Chai, mobile aur tera zikr...
Teeno aadatein hain... aur teeno nuqsan deti hain."»

Bas farq sirf itna hai... chai ka nuqsan phir bhi har subah khushi khushi qabool hai.
