sant sooradas ka vatsaly prem
maiya pukarati rahi, pukarati rahi aur ant mean samip a gayi yah dekhane ki usaka lal kar kya raha hai. kyoan sunata nahian. antatah ab atap mean kuchh prakharata ane lagi hai. is dhoop mean to is sukumar ko nahian rahane diya ja sakata.
kati mean keval ratnamekhala aur katisootr hai. kachhani to ise utpat lagati hai. use ate hi kholakar pheank diya tha. kuchh pichhe ret par p di hai vah pitakaushey kachhani. bar-bar dhili hone vali kachhani ko yah kab tak sabhalata?
charanoan mean mani-noopur haian. karoan mean kankan haian. bhujaoan mean aangad haian. kanth mean chhote muktaoan ke madhy vyaghranakh hai. kaustubh hai gale mean. bhal par bikhari alakoan ke madhy kajjal-bindu hai. tho di alakoan ko sametakar unamean maiya ne ek mayoorapichchh laga diya hai. b de-b de lochan anjanamandit haian.
donoan karoan mean gili ret lagi hai. donoan charan age ardhakunjit kiye baitha hai. poore padoan par, nitamb par gili ret chipaki hai. sthan-sthan aur vaksh par, kapol par bhi ret ke kan lage haian. pulin par bahut-se balakoan ke padachind haian. gili ret par, sookhi ret mean bhi shatashah balakoan ke khelane ke chihn haian. ret kahian ekatr hai, kahian kar-padoan se phailayi athava bikheri gayi hai. gili ret par kahian chhote gadde haian athava ret ki dheriyaan haian. maiya inake madhy se hi chalati ayi hai. usane samip akar kandhe par kar rakhakar poochha hai- ‘too akela yahaan kya kar raha hai?’ ‘maian?’ chauankakar kanhaee ne mukh uthaya- netr harsh se chamak uthe- ‘are, yah to maiya hai!’ mukh dhoop se kuchh arunabh ho utha hai. bhal par, kapoloan par nanhean sved-kan jhalamala uthe haian. maiya ko dekhakar yah jhatapat uth kh da hua hai.
‘too akela yahaan kar kya raha hai?’ maiya kinchith smit ke sath poochhati hai. ‘akela?’ shyam ek bar sir ghumakar asapas dekhata hai. use ab pata lagata hai ki vah akela hai. ye sab sakha-daoo dada bhi use chho dakar chale gaye? akela vah kaise rah sakata hai; kiantu ab to maiya samip a gayi hai. donoan bhujaean maiya ki god mean jane ko utha deta hai. ‘too kar kya raha tha?’ maiya hansati hai. kanhaee ko ab kahaan smaran hai ki vah kya bana raha tha. ek bar mukh jhukakar gili ret ki us nanhian dheri ko dekhata hai aur phir maiya ke mukh ki or dekhata hai donoan bhujaean phailaye.
shyam ke netroan mean ulahana hai, khijh hai- ‘too kaisi maiya hai ki svayan samajh nahian leti ki usaka lal kya bana raha tha. jab vah itani tanmayata se is mahanirman mean laga tha to durg-gram, gay-bail, kapi-gaj............... kuchh to bana hi raha tha. ab use to smaran nahian. use to maiya ki god mean chadhana hai aur maiya hansati hai. hansati hai aur poochhati hai.’ yah bhi koee bat hai ki maiya use god mean nahian leti aur poochhati hai. ab yah khijhane vala hai. apani hi bhavana mean tanmay, ab to maiya ki god aur sambhavatah usaka amritajay hi ise smaran hai.
