Khula Aasmaan aur Ek Bemajhab Chaand.!!!

Yaad main, dard main, khushi main, intazaar main.....kitne saare jazabaato main chipa hota hai "Chaand" ka zikr!! Shayar to kayal hai is 'Chaand' ke, aur ho bhi kyu na...iski taseer hi aisi hai...jo rooh tak thandak deti hai! Jahan sitare majahab, kismat, uunch-neech, aache-bure waqt se insoaano ki insaaniyat baantate hain...wahi chaand ...kuch tanah sa...na jane kitna door baite tanah aashiqko ko kalme padhne ke mukummal hota hoga, na jaane kitni maaye isi 'Chanda Mama' ki kuch jhooti-mooti kahaniyaan sunakar apne nanhe-munno ko kuch kacche-pakke niwale khilati hongi, na jaane kitni biwiyaan apne late hue ya fir aksar late aane wale shauharo ka intazzar isi chaand ko dekhkar karti hongi, na jaane kitni bewaye isi chaand ko dekh subakti hongi.....kine pehlu pehne hai "Ye Ek Bemajhab Chaand". Aaj bhi thare hue saaf aasmaan ki tarah yaad hai mujhe vo bachpan ki garmiyon ki chuttiyan jab raat main light jaane ke bad, khule aasman ke neeche daadi isi chaand ko dekhte-dekhte na jaane kitni kahaniyaan sunati thi....kuch to abhi bhi yaad hai mujhe...akbar-birbal mere pasandeeda hote they...aur saat sitaro ka jhund main hamesha dhoondi rehti thi...daadi kehti thi ki vo saath rishi hai jo upar se hame dekhte hain! Kabhi lagta tha ki jaise "Chanda Mama" se koi naata sa jud gaya tha...kitne atpate saawal jo poochte they is Chaand ke baare main hum sab baache daadi se....aur dadi aakhirkar irritate hoke kehne lagti ki ab so jao...dekho chaand bhi jaa raha hai..aur hum chalte hue chaand ko 'Bye-bye"..na jaane kitni baar bye bol bolkar so jate! Fir gujarate waqt ke saath ek aur cheez mehssos hui ki chaand ek upgrah se jyada ek dost-sa, ek raaz-daar sa ban jata hai...aur shayad uske prati hamara nazariya bhi hamari umr ke saath badalta jaata hai...tabhi to jis chaand me bachpan main ghode pe baite mama dikhte they...uski chaand main hum us apne ka chera doondne lagte hain to kabhi zindagi ke thapedo se thak kar kuch buniyaadi sawaalo ke jawabo....jo bhi ho...kuch baat to hai isi chaand main jo na jane kino ko sukoon ka ehsaas karti hai! Dilo ko ho nahi insaano ko bhi jod ke rakhti hai....majhab ki deewaro ko girati hai!! E-Chaand, tu kis majhab ka hai....Karwachauth bhi tera aur Eid bhi teri!!
