khatakte kadmon k sath phir murda dil liye ghar mein dakhil hua aur mayoosi ki munjamid nazron se bachon k jhooley ki tarah hilte ho darwaze ke payedaan ko takne laga.
Yeh aksar faraz ka routine tha, aur ab to yeh routine itna pukhta hogaya tha kay usko zindagi ka ek juz maloom honay laga tha. Faraz ki pareshani sirf yeh nahi thi kay usko naukri nahi milri thi balkay uski pareshani yeh thi k wo naukri dhoond q raha hai, aur wo kis chiz ki kami hai jo usko us dal dal mein ghaseete jarahi hai jiska wo khud ko majaz bhi nahi samajhta.
aaj bhi faraz naukri ki nakaam talaash k baad ghar mein dakhil hua to ghar ki pur lutf fizza mayoosi k ghanay jungle mein tabdeel hoti chali gayi. Aur faraz is mayoosi se nazrein churanay k liye darwaze key payedaan pe nazre jamaye soch mein yuh mehaw hogaya k goya payedaan ki is harkat mein gardish-e-kaiynaat ka koi raaz poshida ho.

کيونکر کہ خود کو اسير سمجھتا ہوں ميں
اک زنجير تصوراتی، اک زنداں محض خيالی
"Faraz, kuch hua?" zohra nay is umeed sawal kiya jese wo sehra mein koson duur nazar anay walay ek nukte jispe sayebaan honay ka andesha ho ki taraf rawan hai wo jokay uska uska akhri sahara ho.
"Nahi" faraz ne is bekali se jawab diya, Zohra ne ek gehra sans liya jese umeed raste mein hi dum tor gayi ho aur phir apni tamam himmat ko jama karke Zohra ne ek baar phir apni umeed ko marne se bachaya "Koi baat nahi, Allah zaroor behtar kareyga"
"Allah zaroor behtar kareyga" k alfaz faraz ke zehn mein Dohranay lagay aur ek tanz or nidamat ki muskurahat uske chehre pe saim k us phool ki tarah nikrhi jisne sans lete hi mar jana hai.
کيسے بتاوں، زنداں ميں مجھ پہ کيا گزری
اندر افق کا اجالا، باہرشب کا اندھيرا
Faraz sehen mein paray huay us takht pe jo chotay pasmanda laiken saaf suthre ghar mein Zohra k saleeqe ki misaal paish karra ho yeh soch k lait jata hai k barhaq to sub hai zindagi ho ya maut, umeed ho ya na umeedi, nidamat ho ya fakhar aur is soch main faraz ko jo sukoon milta hai wo us sukoon mein yun khwab ki wadiyon mein chala jata hai jese kisi jung se surkhru honay k baad jawan sipahi apna bojh halka karke araam karra ho.
