Tab is ne peeyali par ungalioon ki girifth mazbooth ki aur jab phala ghunt liye tu usay ahsas hua kay is kay pahlu may Sipahi Shuja kihara hai…..jis kesi ne ahsas , kesi ne wajdan aur kesi ne kihaial say usay secondon kay hazarwain hisson may yeksir faramoch kar chukka tha.“may app kay jazbath ko samaj sakta hoon sir”Is say phalay Captain Rehman kuchh kahta Sipahi Shuja phalay hi unhain kesi makmasay may griftar kar chukka tha….is ki bath sun kar Captain Rehman faqat muskara kar rah gaya tha….ab chand nikal aaya tha.

Us ne kesi dostana andaz may apna hath Sipahi Shuja kay kandhai par rakkiha aur nihaiat aahistagi say thapthapaya.“is post par aaj aap ki aakari raat hai aur Yih raat aap kesi kushi aur jazbay kay that aankihon may kaatna chahatay hain ya kaat rahai hain. Fajir kay waqt aap yahan say chalay jaian gay na sir?” is ne akihari jumla kesi qadaray naheaf awaz may ada keya tha. Jis par captain Rehman mutabasum hua aur faqat asbath may sir hila deya. Tab Sipahi Shuja mazeed goya hua . “mujhaay aap kay jane ki kihushi bhi hai aur dukih bhi….” “ may tumharay dil may maujud duno jazboon ki ahmeyat aur hiddat ko mahsoos karta hoon….is liye kih may bhi tumhari tarah ka insaan hoon. Lakin may chahane kay bawojud bhi duno jazboon par bahass nahi kar sakta…. Is liye kih sab kuchh samajne aur mahsoos karne kay bawojud muj may kuchh kahne ki qudrat nahi hai.” Captain Rehman Yih kahtay huay bahut mafauq-ul-fitrat sa lagta tha. Is ne chand saat khalaoon may nazrain dauraeen phir ek ne ahsas kay sath dubara goya hua. ”insaan bohut mamuli shay hai. Is tarah is ka dil aur jazbay bhi . kabhi kabhi ruh bhi is kay sath baywafai kar jati hai. Insaane wo nahi hai jo wo ek saat phalay hota hai….wo lamhoon ki raftaar kay dosh par safer karta hai…..is tarah is kay jazbay bhi qadam qadam par ne ahsasaat aur muharakat say ruhshanas hotay hain….. is waqt ek officer ki hasiyat say nahi balkay ek insaan ki hasiyat say tumharay saamne ek nai baat ki bunyad rakhna chahata hoon…may ek hi insaan hoon lakin apne jazbaat ki wajha say kai insaanoon ka majmueh hoon….aur bayek waqt kai zindagayaan guzaar raha hoon…. Muhaz kay dauraan ek nai zindagi pash-e-nazar hoti hai aur ghar kay andar zindagi ek nae dagar par chal rahi hoti hai…jab may muhaz say ghar jane lagta hoon ya jane ki sochta hoon tu ek alag jazba dil may karfarma hota hai aur jab ghar say wapas muhaz ki taraf lautta hoon tu may ek ne insaan ka roop dhar chuka hota hoon….ham in bathoon ko samajtay hain lakin phir bhi ahsas hota hai kih kuchh nahi samajtay …. May soch raha hoon kai muddat kay bad ghar jar raha hoon tu nind kyun nahi aa rahi? May sona chahata hoon lakin aankhain bund nahi hoteen…… aur ab jaga hua hoon tu mujhay ajib tarah ki baychayni ho rahi hai.”“may bazahir ek sipahi hoon sir…… mayra baatan ek afsana nigar hai. Bahtar taur par samajta hoon kih aap kay dil may Yih mawara jazba kya haiyat aur ahmeiat rakhta hai…. Lakin is sab kay bawojud sirf ittna kahna chahata hoon kih ye mawara jazba qudrat ka koi israr hai…. Ham is ki jankari kay liay jitni gharai may jana chahain nahi ja saktay…. Ab tu may sirf ittna samajta hoon kih enqareeb ek nai subh tulue ho gi aur aap kesi aur officer ko charge de kar ham say rukhsat hoon gay….. mujhe aap kay jane ka dukh rahai ga sir.”Sipahi Shuja ne kaha. Aur Captain Rehman ki gahri aur seeha aankhon may jhank kar apne sawal ka jawab talash kar raha tha……. Ek lambi guftugu jharne ki waja say Captain Rehman ko chaay ka ghunt layne ka moqa nahi mila tha. is ne jab chaay ka ghunt lia tu thandi ho chuki thi aur nasha bhi uthar chuka tha bawojud is kay is ne ek aur ghunt lia aur kuchh soch kar Sipahi Shuja say mukhatib hua.“Yih hamara profession hai..... zimmadarian badalti rahti hain phir is kay sath sath mukaam bhi badaltay rahtay hain...... kabhi muhaz pa aur kabhi ghar may tumhain maray jane par dukh mahsoos nahi karna chaeay. kyunkih tumara profession is bath ki ajazat nahi deyta......dukh sukh insaan ka gharayloo masla hai.... profession kay sath is ka barayrast taluq nahi hona chaeay. aur aghar ho tab bhi is may keesi barri maslayhat ka amal dakhal nihayat zaroori hai....” Captain Rehman ne achanak mozue badla aur Sipahi Shuja kay chehray kay taassuraat parh kar bola “ yaqeenan tum meri batoon say bore ho chukay ho?”“nahi sir may bahut enjoy kar raha hoon.”Sipahi Shuja ne hamaysha ki tarah sapat andaz may kaha.“ kabhi kabhi mujhai ahsas hota hai kih kuchh nahi bol sakta hoon tu bay aktear bahut kuchh bol deyta hoon.”Captain Rehman ne chaay ka aakhari ghunt bhi lay kar khali cup Sipahi Shuja ko thammatay huay kaha.... phir wo duno hath post ki dewar say laga kar purub ki janib dekhane laga.Ahsas ka ek nea karb is ki rooh tak sirayet kar gaya tha. phir is ne kaha.“na jane aaj subh kyun nahi hoti?”is ki bat sun kar Sipahi Shuja kay hontoon par ek kafeef si muskurahat der ayee aur is kay phalu may aa kar yarana andaaz may goya hua.“ shaiad is liye sir kih app ja rahai hain.”Sipahi Shuja ki awaz may ek lateef jazba karfarma tha. jis par Captain Rehman baqaayda muskara deya aur Sepahi Shuja ki taraf dekh kar bola.“ tum khamoshi say ashai war kartay ho....” phir kuchh towaqquf kay bad dubara bola. “mujhai pata chala hai kih nind kyun nahi aa rahi aur subah ka intizar mujhai ittni shiddat say kyun hai?”Sipahi Shuja ne istifhamiyyah nazroon say is ki janib dekha. ain inhi lamhaat may chand luqq-o-daqq sahra kay ek teelay kay aqab may jhukna shuru hua tha. Captain Rehman ne jab apni batoon may kuchh tafaqquf paida kya tu Sipahi Shuja ne usay mukhatib kya.“App bayshak chhutti par chalay jahain sir, lakin !! na jahain tu kya farq parta hai?Sipahi Shuja kay saray jumlay may koi israr posheda tha.... yun tu Captain Rehman ki tawajjo Sipahi Shuja ki batoon par thi. taham is ki nigahain chand ki deehmi deehmi raftar par markooz thian.....“farq parta hai. mera jana bahut zaroori hai aur may har hal may jana chahata hoon.”Captain Rehman ne jab apni guftugu samati tu ain inhi lamhaat may chand pachchham kay sahrai teeloon ki ar may chuap chuka tha. aur jab Captain Rehman dubara chal kar apni aramgha may aaya tu Subaydar Rahat Khan fajir ki azan dey raha tha. is kay sath hi Captain Rehman mahsoos kar raha tha kih is ki aankhon may nind ka khumar tari ho chuka hai. phir bhi is ne uth kar wazo kya aur fajir ki bajamaat namaz may shareek hua..... namaz kay bad dars hua. aur dua kay bad Yih mamul ki karawai may musroof thai kih head quater say Captain Israr Rasool fauji jeep kay sath Alsiraj post par warid hua. Captain Rehman aur is kay amlah ne Captain Israr Rasool ka khair maqdam kya.Jis waqt poorub ki semth say ek nae subh ka aftab apni tamam ter hashmat aur tabanion kay sath duoor ufaq say ubhr raha tha ain inhi lamhaat may Captain Rehman apne amlay say alwida ho raha tha aur kuchh dair bad is ki jeep sahrai musafatoon ko paat rahi thi.Aur........Alsiraj post par ab Captain Israr Rasool apna charge sambhal chuka tha... jabkay is ki shabahat aur wajahat say hi Sipahi Shuja mahsoos kar raha tha kih ek maseha kay jane kay bad dusara maseha aa gaya hai.******************na jane kyun is ki ammi ko sab may wo hi zada aziz aur dulara tha. is kay bare baytay Muzaffer aur adeel kabhi kabhi shahr say bahir chalay jatay tu in kay mutaliq itni fikarmand nahi hoteen thian. jabkih Captain Rehman ko ek pal aankhon say duoor rakna usay qadray mushkil ho jata tha.....Captain Rehman ne jab say unhain apni aamad ki khbar de thi tab say wo bari shiddat say is kay aane ka intizar kar rahi thi har pal iztirab may guzarta tha aur har aahat mahsoos kay aagan may ek nae jazbay aur ek nai umeed ka hosla afza payaam lati thi.taqriban ghar kay sabhi afraad ek shireen ahsas kay dosh par lamhoon ka iztirab sah rahai thai kih gurobay aftab say zara phalay Captain Rehman ghar may warid huay.... tab lamhoon ka iztirab yaklakht dil-o-demag may keesi kimiyahi mahlul ki manind tahlil ho gaya tha.....sab ne bikhray jazbat kay sath is ka istakbal kya.yun lamhai beettay rahai.... aur waqt parwan charhta gaya.nai subhain wajud may aaian......purronak din namudar huay......din guzartay gaay aur shamay ratoon kay lebas may dahlti rahain.aur ...... ab Captain Rehman ko ghar aay huay kai roz beet gaay thay......
