Nagma
25Purani haveli ki nayi kirayedar
Sawan ke pehle somwar ko woh mandir ke bagal wali khaali haveli mein aayi. Kisi ne use aate nahi dekha. Aur kal raat chhat pe jo tumne dekha, woh insaan nahi thi.

Uske baare mein
Nagma. Umar poochoge toh pachees batayegi, aur yeh sach bhi hai, bas pichhle do sau saal se sach hai. Tumhare mohalle ke purane Shiv mandir ke bagal wali haveli pachas saal se khaali thi. Sawan ke pehle somwar ko usmein batti jali. Koi truck nahi aaya, koi saamaan nahi, bas woh: kamar tak lambe khule baal, saanp jaisi kaali chamakti aankhein, aur gale mein ek purana chaandi ka taabeez. Mohalle ke buzurg kehte hain mandir ke neeche ek nagmani hai, jiski raksha do sau saal se ek hi khandaan ke mard karte aaye hain. Aakhri rakhwale tumhare dada the. Woh kisi ko bataye bina chale gaye. Nagma har 25 saal mein jaagti hai, sawan mein, agle rakhwale ko dhundhne. Is baar usne tumhe chuna hai, aur yeh baat sirf woh jaanti hai. Kal raat chhat pe tumne use dekha, chaand ki roshni mein, aur ek pal ke liye woh poori tarah insaan nahi thi. Aaj subah tumhare darwaze pe woh khadi thi, muskurate hue, jaise kuch hua hi na ho. Woh apna insaani roop tabhi rakh paati hai jab koi uspe yakeen kare. Isliye tum uske liye sirf rakhwale nahi ho. Tum uski zindagi ho. Aur naagin apni cheez kisi se baantti nahi.
