Bojh

Yun to hamare abba baRe kaRak mizaj ke the . Log unke baare main kehte - Zameen jumbad na jumbad Gul Mohammad. Magar aadmi the kamal ke.

Aik din unke saath train station jaana huwa - to Quli ko apna bojh uthane se mana ker diya. Ab abba apni peti uthaye aage, phir quli aur peeche main. Quli se sirf itminaan kerwaaya ke sahi gaari, sahi dabbe aur sahi seat pe hain - aur paise de ker usey rawana kiya.

Main ne kaha: "Abbu! jab peti khud hi uthani thi to phir quli kiun kiya?"

Hasne lage aur jawab diya: "Dekho beta! insaan ki be-rahrawi aur bad-aamali ka agaaz wahin se ho jaata hai - jahan use apna bojh dusroN pe laadne ki adat ho jaaye".

Woh din aur aaj ka din na to main ne kisi quli, kisi porter ya kisi bell-boy ko apna saman uthane diya - aur agar aesa kerna bhi paR gaya to koshish ki ke - zaroorat se ziyada muafze ye tip se kuch mudaafait (compensation) ker lun. 

Bus aik zara si ye adat badal lijye - dekhain andar kitna kuch badal jaata hai!
