Thriller Humbug The Great

[syed arshad]

Captan Sahab....Baithe Rahiye Khamoshi Se....Kamre Mein Tez Qism Ki Sargoshi Gunji


Fayaz Iske Khilaaf Kaise Karta Jab Ke Revolver Ki Naal Uski Taraf Uthi Hui Thi....
Aur
Revolver Bhi Ek Aise Aadmi Ke Haath Mein....Jiss Ka Chehra Do Hisson Mein Taqseem (Divide) Tha....Us Bhayaanak Raat Ka Tasavoor Fayaz Ke Zahen Mein Rengne Laga....!


Bhayaanak Aadmi Ne Thokar Se Ek Kursi Khiskayi....
Aur
Revolver Ka Rooq Fayaz Ki Taraf Kiye Hue Baith Gaya....!


Fayaz Palkein Jhapkaye Baghair Use Ghoore Jaa Raha Tha....
Achanak
Khauffnaak Aadmi Ke Honth Phail Gaye....Pata Nahi Yeh Muskurahat Thi Ya Aadatan Honthon Mein Khinchav Paida Hua Tha....!


Fayaz Uski Aankhon Mein Is Qism Ki Koi Tabdili Na Dekh Sakha Jise Jazbaati Taghair (Variations) Ka Nateeja Kaha Jaa Sakhta....!


Mera Naam Narvada Hai Captain....Patlo Narvada....Opelo Narvada Na Samajh Baithna....Maine Aaj Tak Ek Meesra Bhi Nahi Kaha....Khauffnaak Aadmi Bola


Achanak Fayaz Ne Sambhaal Liya....
Aur
Awaaz Ghusseli Bana Kar Bola....Kya Main Is Tarah Aane Ka Maqsad Puch Sakhta Hu....?


Aaj Main Giraftaar Hone Aya Hu Captain....!


Bhaag Jao....Mujhe Ghussa Na Dilao....Fayaz Ne Aankhein Nikali


Maalum Hai....Khauffnaak Aadmi Ka Lehja Tanziya (Vyang) Tha....Aap Log Bohath Zaheen (Buddhimaan) Hai....Itna Bhi Na Ho Sakha Ke Us Koobdhe Ki Asliyath Hi Maalum Kar Li Jati....!


Kya Matlab....Kaisa Koobdha....? Main Nahi Samjha....?


Wahi Koobdha Jo Central-Jail Ki Ek Andheri Kothri Mein Ulta Latka Hua Tha....!


Tum Pata Nahi....Kahan Ki Udha Rahe Ho....!


Oohh....To Kya Aap Nahi Jaante....Mujhe Hairath Hai....!


Mera Waqt Na Barbaad Karo....Fayaz Ne Bura Sa Muh Banaya


Samjha....Khauffnaak Aadmi Ne Fikrmand Andaaz Mein Sar Hila Kar Kaha....Aap Shayad La-iLm Hai....Aap Ke Mulk Mein Supritendent Koi Ahemiyat (Importance) Na Rakhta Ho....Haa Thik Hai....
Isliye
To Director-General Bhaage-Bhaage Phira Karte Hai....!

 

[syed arshad]

Main Kuch Nahi Samjha Dost....Daftan Fayaz Ka Lehja Narm Ho Gaya


Unhone Ek Koobdhe Ko Pakadhwa Kar Kayi Dino Tak Ulta Latkaye Rakha....Torture Ki Hadh Kar Di....
Lekin
Use Aiteraaf Jurm Na Kara Sakhe....
Fir
Aakhirkar Use Chhod Hi Dena Padha....!


Tab Fir Tum Yeh Bhi Jaante Hoge Ke Us Par iLzaam Kiya Tha....?


Jaanta Hu....Director-General Sahab Ka Khayal Tha Ke Wo Kisi Taqreeb (Todh-Phodh) Mulk Ka Agent Hai....!


Ek Beek Fayaz Ne Us Par Chalaang Lagayi....
Lekin
Khauffnaak Ajnabi Ghaafil To Nahi Tha....!


Fayaz Kursi Samet Dusri Taraf Ulat Gaya....!


Patlo Narvada Dur Khada Muskura Raha Tha....!


Captain Please....Revolver Ki Naal Fir Seedhi Ho Gayi


Fayaz Utha....
Aur
Darwaaze Ki Taraf Dekhne Laga....Jiss Par Kaale Rang Ka Parda Khinch Diya Gaya Tha....!


No....No....My Dear....Patlo Narvada Sar Hila Kar Bola....Haa Thik Hai....Kursi Samet Farsh Par Dher Hone Ki Awaaz Dur Tak Phaili Hogi....
Lekin
Koi Yahan Tak Aane Ki Zehmat (Kasht) Nahi Gawara Karega....!


Kyun....? Fayaz Jo Ghusse Se Pagaal Hua Jaa Raha Tha Dahaada


Wo Ahmaqon Ki Tarah Kachchi Neend Nahi Sote....!


Fayaz Ek Beek Fir Narm Padh Gaya....Uske Honthon Par Halki Si Muskurahat Thi....!


Ghaliban Zaheen Captain Ke Zahen Mein Puri Baat Aa Gayi Hai....Patlo Narvada Bhi Jawaaban Muskuraya


Main Synthetic Gas Ki Halki Si Bo (Smell) Mehsoos Kar Raha Hu....!


Lekin....Yahan Is Kamre Mein Yeh Itni Na-Kaafi Hai Ke Hum Mein Koi Bhi Behosh Nahi Ho Sakhta....Patlo Narvada Ne Kaha

 

[syed arshad]

Tum Hadh Se Badhte Jaa Rahe Ho....!


Baith Jaiye Captain....Intelligence-Department Mein Aap Se Zyada Zaheen Aur Phurtila Officer Yahan Aur Koi Nahi....Main Dil Se Aap Ki Qadr Karta Hu....!


Aur Tum Us Ladki Ke Qaatil Bhi Ho....Kyun....?


Vahem Hai Tumhara....
Lekin
Main Qaatil Ko Achi Tarah Jaanta Hu....Aap Is Nateeje Par Pahunche The Ke Wo Ladki Raqaabat Ya Josh Inteqaam Ka Shikaar Hui Thi....Bilkul Ghalath Khayal Hai....!


Fir....?


Wahi Koobdha Us Qatl Ka Zimmedar Hai....
Lekin
Aap Ke Farishte Bhi Use Kisi Adalath Mein Pesh Na Kar Sakhenge.....!


Kya Us Koobdhe Se Tumhara Jhagdha Hai....?


Haa....Aur....Aap Ke Mahekme Se Bhi....Zara 1920 Ka Green File Record Room Se Nikalwa Kar Mulaheza Farma Li Jiyega....!


Tum Us Koobdhe Ke Silsile Mein Humari Madad Karna Chahte Ho....!


Chaliye....Baat Samajh Mein To Ayi....Patlo Narvada Ne Khahekhaha Lagaya


Main Aise Logon Ki Qadr Karta Hu....!


Lekin....Mauqa Mil Jaye To Chhodhta Bhi Nahi....Kyun....? Patlo Fir Hans Padha


Pakki Baat Hai....Mohtaat (Savdhaan) Rehna....Fayaz Khush Dili Se Muskuraya


Patlo Narvada Bhi Hansta Raha....
Fir
Ek Beek Uski Aankhon Mein Gehri Sanjheedgi Ke Asaar Nazar Aye....!


Director-General Ke Ladke Ka Paagalpan....Fayaz Kuch Kahte-Kahte Ruk Gaya
Aur
Nervada Hairaan Andaaz Mein Chaunk Padha....!


Kamaal Hai....Wo Fayaz Ki Aankhon Mein Ghoorta Hua Bola....Bhala Aap Ko Kaise Maalum Hua Ke Main Is Waqt Usi Ke Mutaleekh (Sambhandit) Guftgu Karne Aya Hu....!


Fayaz Ne Faqriya Andaaz Mein Shaano Ko Jumbish Di....
Aur
Chahre Par Uktahat Ke Asaar Paida Kar Ke Badhbadhaya....5 Ghanton Ki Neend Bhi Mere Muqaddar Mein Nahi....!

 

[syed arshad]

Mujhe Sirf Itna Hi Maalum Karna Hai Ke Dr Dawar Ki Laboratory Se Uska Kya Taalooq Hai....?


Kiss Ka Taalooq....? Fayaz Ko Fir Chaunkna Padha


Shayad....Aap Ko In Maamlaat Se Koi Dilchaspi Nahi....!


Dilchaspi Paidi Hoti Hai....Fayaz Bola....Agar....


Thaheriye....Mera Khayal Hai Ke Director-General Ke Ladke Ne Kabhi Kisi Maamle Mein Dr Dawar Ki Madad Bhi Ki Thi....!


Mumkeen Hai....Main Nahi Jaanta....!


Kisi Tarah Us Tak Khabar Pahuncha Di Jiye Ke Dr Dawar Fir Khatre Mein Hai....!


Tum Aakhir Aye Kyun....? Fayaz Ka Para Fir Chadh Gaya


Main Yeh Batane Aya Hu Ke Tum Bhi Khatre Mein Ho....Tumhara Mulk Khatre Mein Hai....Koobdha Aisi Hi Harkatein Kar Raha Hai....Jin Ki Bina Par Duniya Teesri Jung Azeem (3rd World-War) Ki Lapet Mein Aa Sakhti Hai....!


Daftan Phone Ki Ghanti Baji....
Aur
Fayaz Mez Ki Taraf Badhna Chaha....!


Thaheriye....Nervada Aage Badhta Hua Bola....Revolver Ka Rooq Ab Bhi Fayaz Hi Ki Taraf Tha....!


Nervada Ne Receiver Uthaya....Call Receive Ki....
Aur
Bura Sa Muh Banaye Fayaz Ki Taraf Mudha....Koi Mohtarmaa Hai....Sambhaaliye....
Lekin
Yeh Na Bhooliyega Ke Mere Haath Mein Khaali Revolver Nahi Hai....!

 

[syed arshad]

Fayaz Ne Jhapat Kar Receiver Uthaya....!


Hello....Captain....Main Simmy Bol Rahi Hu....!


Main Nahi Pehchaan Sakha Mohtarmaa....Fayaz Ne Bharrayi Hui Awaaz Mein Kaha


DDD....Dr....Dawar....Mere Daddy Hai....!


Oh Samajh Gaya....Farmaiye....!


Fauran Aaiye Tajurbagah (Laboratory) Ki Taraf....Main Ghar Par Tanha Hu....Daddy Ne Abhi Mujhe Laboratory Se Phone Par Ittela Di Hai Ke Main Directory Mein Aap Ke Number Dekh Kar Aap Ko Ring Karu....Wo Khatre Mein Hai....!


Lekin....Kya Wo Laboratory Hi Se Seedhe Phone Nahi Kar Sakhte The....!


Unhe Aap Ke Number Yaad Nahi The Shayad....
Aur
Shayad....Unke Paas Itna Waqt Bhi Nahi Tha Ke Wo Khud Bhi Directory Mein Aap Ke Number Talaash Kar Sakhte....!


To Main Kahan Pahunchu....?


Laboratory Mein....Jaldi Ki Jiye....Main Rahman Chacha Ko Bhi Phone Kar Rahi Hu....!


Dusri Taraf Se Silsila Cut Hone Ki Awaaz Ayi....Fayaz Receiver Rakh Kar Mudha....
Lekin
Is Tarah Uchal Padha Jaise Kisi Ne Sar Par Latt Raseed Kar Diya Ho....Kamra Khaali....Baukhla Kar Bahar Nikla....Saara Ghar Chaan Maara....
Lekin
Patlo Narvada Ka Kahin Pata Na Tha....!

 

[syed arshad]

Fayaz Aur Rahman Sahab Ki Gaadiyan Laboratory Ke Phaatak Par Saath Hi Pahunchi....Chaukidar Jaag Raha Tha....Rahman Sahab Ko Jaanta Bhi Tha Isliye Phaatak Kholne Ke Silsile Mein Unhe Rasmi Kaarvaiyon Se Guzarna Nahi Padha....!


Rahman Sahab Ne Chaukidar Se Kuch Sawaalaat Kiye The....Andaaza Na Kar Sakhe The Ke Chaukidar Andar Ke Halaath Se Bakhabar Hoga....!


Tum Kaise Aye....? Rahman Sahab Ne Phaatak Se Guzar Kar Imaarath Ki Taraf Badhte Hue Pucha


Sahabzadi Ne Mujhe Phone Par Ittela Di Thi Ke Dr Dawar Khatre Mein Hai....!


Musalah Ho Ya Nahi....!


Jee Haa....!


Wo Aage Badhte Chale Gaye....Laboratory Ki Imaarath Phaatak Se Ek Furlong Ke Faasle Par Thi....Imaarath Andheri Padhi Hui Thi....Kahin Bhi Roshni Na Dikhayi Di....!


Wo Visitors-Room Ki Taraf Badhe....
Aur
Switch-Board Par Call Bell Ka Button Dabaya....Baar-Baar Yahi Karte Rahe....
Lekin
Andar Se Jawaab Na Mila....!


Fir Captain Fayaz Ne Darwaaze Par Khuvat (Energy) Sarf Karne Ka Irada Kiya Hi Tha Ke Rahman Sahab Uska Shaana Chu Kar Bole....Thahero....Chandh Lamhe Kuch Sonchte Rahe....
Fir
Kahe....Tum Ne Ghalthi Ki Akele Chale Aye....Kuch Aadmiyon Saath Laana Tha....Jab Ladki Ne Tumhe....


Mere Saath 5 Inspector Hai....!


Good....To Fir....Unhe Bulao....!


Fayaz Ne Seeti Nikaali....
Aur
Use Honthon Ki Taraf Badha Hi Raha Tha Ke Rahman Sahab Ki Nazar Padh Gayi....Jhalla Kar Bole....Ajeeb Aadmi Ho....Aql Istemaal Kiya Karo....Khud Jao Bahar....Khamoshi Se Lao....!


Fayaz Baukhlaye Hue Andaaz Mein Phaatak Ki Taraf Daud Gaya....!


Rahman Sahab Bhi Khule Mein Nikal Aye....Unhone Aas-Paas Ki Khidkiyon Aur Darwaazon Par Torch Roshan Kar Daali....
Aur
Fir....Ek Janib Unke Khadam Tezi Se Uth Gaye....!


Khidki Jiss Mein Salaakhein Nahi Thi....Khuli Hui Nazar Ayi....
Lekin
Andar Andhera Tha....!

 

[syed arshad]

Rahman Sahab Ne Ek Kankari (Concrete) Utha Kar Andar Phenki....
Aur
Tezi Se Baayin (Left) Janib Hatt Kar Deewar Se Jaa Lage....
Lekin
Andar Ke Sannate Mein Kankari Girne Ki Awaaz Ke Alawa....
Aur
Kisi Qism Ki Awaaz Na Ayi....!


Itne Mein Phaatak Ki Janib Se Khadmon Ki Awaazein Ayi....Ghaliban Yeh Fayaz Ke Matahat Hi The....!


Rahman Sahab Ne Torch Ka Rooq Phaatak Ki Taraf Kar Ke Roshni Ke Signal Diye....
Aur
Wo Log Idhar Hi Chale Aye....!


Kuch Der Baad Wo Ek-Ek Kar Ke Khidki Se Guzar Rahe The....!


Rahman Sahab Ne Sabse Pahle Us Hisse Ka Rooq Kiya Jahan Dr Dawar Laboratory Hi Mein Raat Din Guzaarne Ki Surat Mein Aaram Kiya Karte The....Kamra Khaali Tha....
Lekin
Yahan Unhe Ghair Maamuli Halaath Na Dikhayi Diye....Har Cheez Apni Jagah Par Thi....Bistar Besheekan Tha....Shayad Koi Us Par Baitha Bhi Na Hoga....
Fir
Teen Mulaazeemin Ek Jagah Behosh Padhe Mile....
Lekin
Unke Jismon Par Zarbiyat (Chont) Ke Nishaanaat Nahi The....!


Ghaliban Koi Nashavar Cheez....Rahman Sahab Unka Jayeza Lete Hue Badhbadhaye....
Aur
Fayaz Ki Taraf Mudh Kar Bole....Ab Tum Log Ladki Ki Khabar Lo....Uske Baad Yahan Thaherne Ki Zaroorat Nahi....Sirf Ek Aadmi Ladki Paas Ruk Jaye....Fayaz Tum Hi Rukna....Baaqi Log Jaa Sakhte Hai....!


Fayaz Ki Aankhon Mein Uljhan Ke Asaar Nazar Aye....
Lekin
Yeh Bhi Na Kahe Sakha Ke Wo Rahman Sahab Ko Yahan Tanha Nahi Chhodna Chahta Hai....!

 

[syed arshad]

Kuch Der Baad Rahman Sahab Dr Dawar Ki Khwaabgah (Bedroom) Ki Taraf Wapas Aa Rahe The....!


Behosh Aadmi Jyon Ke Tyon Padhe Rahe....!


Is Baar Unhe Khwaabgah Ka Darwaaza Bandh Nazar Aya....Waapsi Ka Matlab Yahi Tha Ke Khwaabgah Se Ghar Phone Karenge....Koshish Karenge Ke Imran Tak Ek Paighaam Pahunch Jaye....Jo Unki Samajh Se Is Waqt Apne Kamre Mein Kharrate Le Raha Hoga....Wo Khayalaat Mein Uljhe Hue Yahan Tak Aye The....Bandh Darwaaze Ko Dhakka Diya....
Fir
Besaqta Uchal Padhe....
Kyun Ke
Kamra Khaali Nahi Tha....!


Imran....!


Fir Unki Paishaani Par Sheekan Ubhar Ayi....Unhone Soncha Jab Kambakht Ko Iska Bhi iLm Tha To Ab Tak Khamosh Kyun Raha Tha....!


Kyun....? Wo Ghurraye


Imran Is Waqt Zaroorat Se Zyada Sanjheeda Nazar Aa Raha Tha....Usne Bharrayi Hui Awaaz Mein Kaha....Dr Dawar Se Zyada Ziddi Aaj Tak Meri Nazar Se Nahi Guzra....!


Kyun....?


Khatra Mehsoos Karne Ki Wajah Bhi Aap Logon Batayi Jaa Sakhti Thi....!


Rahman Sahab Kuch Sonch Mein Padh Gaye....
Fir
Imran Ko Tatolne Wali Nazron Se Dekhte Hue Bole....Mumkeen Hai Iski Mohlat Hi Na Mil Sakhi Ho....!


Tasleem (Sweekar) Nahi Kiya Jaa Sakhta Ke Yeh Koi Naagahaami (Aakasmik) Haadsa Hai....!


Kyun....?


Dr Dawar Ne Achanak Ghair Umeed Taur Par Apne Liye Koi Khatra Mehsoos Kiya Tha To Wahi Uska Muqaabla Karte....Aap Logon Ko Ittela Dene Ki Zaroorat Nahi Thi....!


Kya Baat Hui....?


Yani Wo Khatra Anjaana Nahi Tha....Wo Pahle Se Waaqif The Ke Khatra Pesh Aa Sakhta Hai....!

 

[syed arshad]

Chalo....Yahi Sahi....Fir....?


Fir Kuch Bhi Nahi....Maine Sirf Yeh Arz Kiya Tha Ke Dr Dawar Ziddi Hai....!


Tum Yahan Kab Se Ho.....?


Aap Ki Gaadi Ki Diki Mein Ghatri Ban Kar Aya Tha....!


Yeh Kya Behoodgi Thi....Rahman Sahab Fir Jhalla Gaye


Yeh To Dekhiye Ke In Behoodgiyon Ke Liye Mujhe Kitni Takleef Uthani Padhi Hai....Misaal Ke Taur Par Main Aap Ka Phone Tape Karta Hu....!


Kya Matlab....?


Daddy Please....Yahan Nahi....Ghar Par....Ab Aaiye Mere Saath....Aap Ko Dikhau Ke Doctor Is Waqt Kahan Se Ghayab Hue Hai....!


Tum Bilkul Gadhe Ho....Yeh Kya Huliya Bana Rakha Hai....? Rahman Sahab Ne Uske Sar Par Mandhi Hui Siyaah (Kaali) Topi Ko Ghoorte Hue Kaha


Yeh Dekhiye....Imran Ne Topi Ka Nichla Gosha (Kona) Khinchte Hue Kaha....Ab Topi Ne Ghilaaf (Cover) Ki Tarah Uske Pure Chahre Ko Dhak Liya Tha....Aankhon Ki Jagah Do Suraakh (Holes) The....!


Chalo....Rahman Sahab Ne Bura Sa Muh Bana Kar Kaha....Wo Bhi Aadatan Majboor The....
Varna
Fayaz Aur Uske Matahaton Ko Yahan Se Hata Dene Ka Maqsad Yahi Tha Ke Kisi Tarah Imran Ko Phone Par Bula Kar Laboratory Ke Haadse Ki Ittela Denge....Zaaher Hai Iska Maqsad Bhi Iske Alawa....
Aur
Kya Ho Sakhta Tha Ke Imran Laboratory Tak Pahunchne Ki Koshish Karta....!


Imran Unhe Observatory Ki Taraf Le Jaa Raha Tha....
Aur
Uska Chehra Bhi Naqaab Mein Poshida Tha....
Achanak
Thode Hi Faasle Par Fires Ki Awaazein Ayi....
Aur
Wo Chalte-Chalte Ruk Gaye....!

 

[syed arshad]

Oohh....Kahin....Ladki To Khatre Mein Nahi Hai....Rahman Sahab Bole


Parwaah Na Ki Jiye....Ladki Ka Koi Masraf Nahi Ho Sakhta....!


Hosh Ki Baatein Kiya Karo....Rahman Sahab Fir Bigadh Gaye


Ghalath Nahi Kahe Raha....Ladki Ka Masraf Iske Alawa Aur Kuch Nahi Ho Sakhta Ke Hum Uske Chakkar Mein Padh Kar Waqti Taur Par Hum Apni Tawajjah (Dhyan) Laboratory Hata Le....Aaiye To Sahi....Wo 6 Aadmi Hai....Fayaz Itna Shareef Nahi Hai Ke Usne Fauri Taur Par Aap Ke Hukm Ki Taameel Ki Ho....!


Yani....?


Wo Abhi Doctor Ki Rihaayeshgah Se Palta Na Hoga....Pure 6 Aadmi Us Ladki Ki Dekh-Bhaal Ke Liye Maujood Honge....!


Baat Halaq Se Utarne Wali Thi....
Isliye
Rahman Sahab Ko Observatory Ki Taraf Badhna Padha....!


Chaaron Taraf Andhera Aur Sannate Ki Hukmrani Thi....
Achanak
Imran Thithak Gaya....!


Rahman Sahab Bhi Ruke....!


Obsevatory Ke Nichle Darwaaze Ke Khareeb Ek Hilta Hua Saayaa Nazar Aya....!


Imran Badi Phurti Se Zameen Par Let Gaya....!


Rahman Sahab Ne Bhi Kaafi Tezi Dikhayi....!


Saayaa Darwaaze Ki Tareeki (Andhere) Mein Madgham Ho Chuka Tha....!


Imran Ahista-Ahista Seene Ke Bal Rengne Laga....Obsevatory Ke Darwaaze Tak Pahunchne Mein Dushwaari Nahi Hui....Jaise Hi Usne Darwaaze Mein Daakhil Hona Chaha....Rahman Sahab Ne Taangein Pakadh Li....Andar Andhera Tha....!


Jaldi Nahi....Rahman Sahab Ne Tezi Se Khisakte Kar Uske Barabar Pahunchte Hue Sargoshi Ki....!


Mutmayeen (Santusht) Rahiye....!


Wo Thodi Der Tak San-Gan Leta Raha....
Fir
Andar Reng Gaya....!
