Maai sahibaa bohat khoob
soorat theen, kitabi chehra tha, hiran jaisi ankhen theen. Baal chandi ke taron
jaisay they. Maai sahibaa har waqt ghhoomti phurti rehti theen. Un ka mamool
tha ke kabhi kisi ke ghar chali gayeen aur kabhi kisi ke ghar. Jis ke ghar jati
theen is ke ghar mein kher o barket ho jati thi. Log un ki bohat izzat karte
they aur koshish karte they ke maai sahibaa ziyada din un ke ghar mein rahen .
Aik din jab maai sahibaa
mere ( Khwaja Shamsuddin Azeemi ) ghar ayen to ghar mein bachon ne shore macha
diya :
'' Dadi aa gayeen. Dadi aa
gayeen.' '
Dadi ne bhi –apne masoom
potay potyon ko kaleje se laga liya aur dheron duayen den.
Barri beti nasra madnan ne
gilaay mein haath daal kar kaha :
'' Dadi apni zindagi ke
baray mein bitayen ?' '
Maai sahibaa kuch der ke
liye khamosh ho gayeen, aankhon se ansoo behnay lagey aur unhon ne apni aap
beete is terhan sunai :
'' Mera naam Jyoti tha, mein
chodan saal ki thi ke meri shadi ho gayi. Abhi dulhan banay kuch din hi guzray
they ke shohar ka intqaal ho gaya. Sasural walon ne mujhe satti ( shohar ki
laash ke sath biwi ko jalana ) karne ke mashwaray shuru kar diye. Mere kaanon
mein bhanak ( urti hui khabar ) par gayi. Mein ghp andheray mein raat ko
sasural se maikay pohanchi. Mataa jee ne mujhe seenay se lagaya lekin mere waalid
ne mera is terhan sasural chore kar maikay aana pasand nahi kya. Jab aadhi raat
guzar gayi to maa ne mujhe pichlle darwazay se bahar nikaal diya. Mein chalti
rahi, chalti rahi. Yahan taq ke ufaq se sooraj namodaar sun-hwa. Aik darakht ke
neechay late kar so gayi. Jab neend se beedar hui to phir chal pari. .. .. .
Meri manzil to koi thi nahi is liye chalti rahi. Paiir lholhan ho gay aur halaq
khushk ho gaya. Lagta tha ke halaq mein kantay chubh rahay hain. Chaltay
chaltay maloom nahi kis terhan khwaja ghareeb nawaz ke darbaar mein poanch
gayi. Dar aur khauf ka ghalba itna tha ke mazaar ke andar ja kar mein ne kunddi
laga li aur khwaja ghareeb nawaz ki qabar se lapat gayi. Sukoon mila. Lagta tha
ke mein do chaar saal ki bachi hon aur khwaja ghareeb ki qabar maa ki goad hai.
Idhar mein mohabbat o pyar ki kefiyat se sarshar thi ke bahar log cheekhnay
lagey, darwaaza kholo. .. .. .. .. Darwaaza kholo aur darwaaza peetnay lagey .
Mein ne darwaaza khol diya
aur wahan jharoo dainay ki khidmat mein maamoor kar di gayi. Kuch arsa baad
pakistan bana to yahan aa gayi.' '
Choti beti hina ne poocha :
'' Dadi amma aap ko hamaray
ghar ka pata kis ne bataya hai ?' '
Maai sahibaa zor se hansen
aur farmaya :
'' Beti jis bande ko –apne
asal maalik ka pata mil jata hai is ke liye koi thikana koi maqam dhondhna
mushkil nahi hota.' '
Subhan allah kya saeed din
they ke poooray din mehsoos hota raha ke noor ki barish baras rahi hai .
Raat ko rukhsat hotay waqt
mein ne maai sahibaa se arz kya :
“ Amma koi nasiyaat kijiyej
? ”
Maai sahibaa aasman ki taraf
taknay lagen. Aisa lagta tha ke kisi maqam par nigah thehr gayi hai. Yakayak
aik aawaz buland hui, shahadat ki ungli aasman ki taraf uthi aur maai sahibaa
ki zabaan se yeh alfaaz ada hue :
'' Beta !. .. .. . Rab
raazi. .. Sab raazi.' '
