Namak Haram - best hindi story
Namak Haram |
kashi naresh brahmadatt ka putr bachapan se hi dusht svbhav ka tha। vah bina karan hi musaphiron ko sipahiyon se pakdva kar satata aur rajy ke vidvanon, panditon tatha bujurgon ko apmanit karta। vah aisa karke bahut prasannta ka anubhav karta। prja ke man men esalia yuvraj ke prati adar ke sthan par ghrina aur rosh ka bhav tha।
yuvraj lagabhag bis varsh ka ho chuka tha। ek din kuchh mitron ke sath vah nadi men nahane ke lia gaya। vah bahut achchhi tarah tairna nahin janta tha, esalia apne sath kuchh kushal tairak sevkon ko bhi le gaya। yuvraj aur uske mitr nadi men naha rahe the। tabhi asman men kale-kale badal chha gaye। badlon ki garaj aur bijli ki chamak ke sath musaldhar varsha bhi shuru ho gayi।
yuvraj bde anand aur ullas se taliyan bajata hua naukron se bola, ‘‘aha! kya mausam hai! mujhe nadi ki manjhdhar men le chalo। aise mausam men vahan nahane men bda maja ayega!''
naukron ki sahayta se yuvraj nadi ki bich dhara men jakar nahane laga। vahan par yuvraj ke gale tak pani a raha tha aur dubne ka khatra nahin tha। lekin varsha ke karan dhire-dhire pani bdhne laga aur dhara ka bahav tej hone laga। kale badlon se asman dhak jane ke karan andhera chha gaya aur pas dikhna kathin ho gaya।
yuvraj ki dushtta ke karan enke sevak bhi usse ghrina karte the। esalia use bich dhara men chhod kar sabhi sevak vapas kinare par a gaye। yuvraj ke mitron ne jab yuvraj ke bare men sevkon se puchha to unhonne kaha ki ve jabaradasti hamlogon ka hath chhuda kar akele hi tairte hua a gaye। shayad rajamahal vapas chale gaye hon।
mitron ne mahal men yuvraj ka pata lagvaya। lekin yuvraj vahan pahuncha nahin tha। bat raja tak pahunch gayi। unhonne turant sipahiyon ko nadi ki dhara ya kinare-kahin se bhi yuvraj ka pata lagane ka adesh diya। sipahiyon ne nadi ke prvah men tatha kinare dur-dur tak pata lagaya lekin yuvraj ka kahin pata n chala। akhirkar nirash hokar ve vapas laut aye।
edhar achanak nadi men badh a jane aur dhara ke tej hone ke karan yuvraj pani ke sath bah gaya। jab vah dub raha tha tabhi use ek lakdi dikhai pdi। yuvraj ne us lakdi ko pakd liya aur usi ke sahare bahta raha। atm raksha ke lia tin any praniyon ne bhi us lakdi ki sharan le rakhi thi- ek sanp, ek chuha aur ek tota। yuvraj jor-jor se chilla raha tha, bachao! bachao! lekin tuphan ki garaj men uski pukar nakkare men tuti ki avaj ki tarah khokar rah gayi। badh ke sath yuvraj bahta ja raha tha। thodi der men tuphan thoda kam hua aur barish tham gayi। akash saph hone laga aur pashchim men dubta hua suraj chamak utha। us samay nadi ek jangal se hokar gujar rahi thi। nadi ke kinare, us jangal men rishi ke rup men bodhisatv tapasya kar rahe the।
yuvraj ki karun pukar kanon men pdte hi bodhisatv ka dhyan tut gaya। ve jhat nadi men kud pde aur us lakdi ko kinare khinch laye jisne yuvraj aur tin any praniyon ki jan bachayi thi। unhonne agni jala kar sabko garmi prdan ki, phir sabke lia bhojan ka prabandh kiya। sabse pahle unhonne chhote praniyon ko bhojan diya, tatpashchat yuvraj ko bhi bhojan khilakar uske aram ka bhi prabandh kar diya।
es prkar ve sab bodhisatv ke yahan do dinon tak vishram karke purn svasth hone ke bad kriatajyta prakat karte hua apne-apne ghar chale gaye। tote ne jate samay bodhisatv se kaha, ‘‘mhanubhav! ap mere prandata hain। nadi ke kinare ek ped ka khokhla mera nivas tha, lekin ab vah badh men bah gaya hai। himalay men mere kayi mitr hain।
yadi kabhi meri avashyakta pde to nadi ke us par parvat ki talahti men khde hokar pukariye। main mitron ki sahayta se ap ki seva men ann aur phal ka bhandar lekar upasthit ho jaunga।''
‘‘main tumhara vachan yad rakhunga।'' bodhisatv ne ashvasan diya।
sanp ne jate samay bodhisatv se kaha, ‘‘main pichhle janm men ek vyapari tha। mainne kayi karod rupye ki svarn mohren nadi ke tat par chhipa kar rakh di thin। dhan ke es lobh ke karan es janm men sarp yoni men paida hua hun। mera jivan us khjane ki raksha men hi nasht hua ja raha hai। use main ap ko arpit kar dunga। kabhi mere yahan padhar kar eska badla chukane ka mauka avashy dijia।''
esi prkar chuhe ne bhi vakt pdne par apni sahayta dene ka vachan dete hua kaha, ‘‘ndi ke pas hi ek pahadi ke niche hamara mahal hai jo tarah-tarah ke anajon se bhara hua hai। hamare vansh ke hajaron chuhe es mahal men nivas karte hain। jab bhi ap ko ann ki kathinai ho, kriapya hamare nivas par avashy padharia aur seva ka avasar dijia। main phir bhi ap ke upkar ka badla kabhi n chuka paunga।''
sabse ant men yuvraj ne kaha, ‘‘main kabhi-n-kabhi apne pita ke bad raja banunga। tab ap meri rajdhani men aea। main ap ka apurv svagat karunga।''
kuchh dinon ke bad brahmadatt ki mriatyu ho gayi aur yuvraj kashi ka raja ban gaya। raja bante hi prja par atyachar karne laga। sachchai aur nyay ka kahin nam n tha। jhuth aur apradh bdhne lage। prja dukhi rahne lagi।
yah bat bodhisatv se chhipi n rahi। use raja ka nimantran yad ho aya। usne sabse pahle raja ke yahan jane ka nishchay kiya। ve ek din raja se milne ke lia kashi pahunche।
bodhisatv nagar men prvesh kar rajapath par paidal chal rahe the। tabhi hathi par savar hokar raja sair ke lia ja raha tha। usne bodhisatv ko pahchan liya aur turat apne angarakshkon ko adesh diya, ‘‘es sadhu ko pakdakar khambhe se bandh do aur sau kode lagao aur eske bad esko phansi par latka do। yah etna ghamandi hai ki esne jan bujh kar mera apman kiya tha।
