Huzoor, aapki mehndi mein
Zulfikaar sahab ke naam ka pahla akshar chhupa denge. Phir dekhiyega
-ki shaam ko dhoondh paate hain ki nahi. -Huzoor.
Kya ho gaya, aise bhag-bhag ke kyon aa rahi hai?
Unhe rukne ko kah. Huzoor ki mehndi sukhane mein waqt lagega.
Huzoor kaise jaayengi? Abhi to mehndi geeli hai.
Badhiya tha.
Aaj raat yahin rukenge, Bibbo ke sath.
-Pichhali baar bhi Chhupaya tha. -Talashi lo iski.
Huzoor, talashi mai loon ki Satto?
Huzoor, garare mein bhi kuchh nahi mila.
Wahidan bi sach kah rahi thi.
Sayma! Beti, sab kaam chodhh.
Yeh zevar le aur jakar Alam ko taiyar kar.
Bewakoof, huzoor ka para chad gaya to apni khair nahi.
Chal jaldi kar. Jakar Alam ko taiyar kar, ja.
Haay ri Satto, mujhe to Alam pe bada taras aata hai.
Itna achha likhti hai. Huh? Shayara banna chahati hai.
Mujhe to lagta hai, isi baat par maa-beti mein jung chhidh jayegi.
Tujhe to yah bhi lagta tha ki tu Heeramandi ki sabse badi tawayaf banegi.
Pani mein moti dhondhana to namumkin hai.
Haay ri, Sayma, kya hua?
Kya karna hai?
Andar kaise bulayenge?
-Ja, le aa. -Ji.
To Shahi Mahal ka kya mol rah jayega?
Afsar sahab, yeh is liye hans rahi hain ki itne paison me to inki Fatto bhi na nache.
Huzoor kah rahi hain ki wo to bartania ke badshah ko bhi mana kar dein, to aap to…
Huzoor, mujhe to dar lag raha hai
Haay! Yeh gulab ki mahak to logon ko deewana kar degi, huzoor.
-Aur tu gulabo banke kahan chali? -Niyazi sahab ko sunne.
Haay rabba, huzoor ko pata chala to jaan le lengi.
Pagal ho gayi hai kya? Neeche utar! Dekh lenge to… Are!
Aye, tu yahan baithi thi? Meri Baghhi mein?
-Ammi gayi na? -Bibi!
Huzoor, mujhe nahi pata tha ki Alam baby…
Maine apni zindagi ek hi cheez kamayi,
-Aaj woh bhi kho diya. -Kaise?
Woh soch rahi hain ki main unki ijazat bagai Alam ko mushaye me le gaya.
Sari museebat Alamzeb ne khadi ki hai.
Tujhe nahi pata.
Rab ek bar apne bando ki galti maaf bhi kar de,
Aaj nahi to kal mujhe saza zarur dengi.
Aur jao bina ijazat mushayare mein.
Huzoor se punchh.
Ji. Bibi, mahaul thik nahi lag raha, jaldi aayiga.
