chapter 2

Some where in Desert of Sindh

shaam dhalne wali thi... humayu ka luta pita kafila raat baser karne ki tayyari

kar raha tha. (it was evening humayu small caravan were preparing for night

stay) ...

in deserts although days were very hot but nights were pleasant and cold...

their ration is almost finished some people were preparing for food and

some making tents... health condition of most people is getting worst by

each passing day

humayu was with shamsudin and jauhar ..his two vital supports in these

struggled time .. They were wondering what part of rajputana is this ...

sun was gradually moving towards west... they were trying to guess in which

direction REWA should be ...

"shamsudin !! simt ka kuch andaza hua

(simt = direction, andaza = guess)

Humayu asked shamsudin while trying to guess himself where they are

heading..

Shamsudin and jauher both were looking clueless...

"ji nahi hazoor ..!!.. kuch samajh nahi araha"

Humayu looked to jauhar

Jauhar bowed his head slightly in respect

"ham zaroor rasta bhatak gae hae mere aaqa "

All were so apprehensive

"Door tak registan hi registaan hae... abaadi ka kuch pata lagay tau

rastay ka andaza hau"

Humayu was murmuring like self talking

His feriend didn't reply .. they had nothing to say

...

"Sultan e muazzam ka iqbal buland ho"

A man from their cravan came near the trio and stood at certain distance

which should be appropriate to maintain with king ...

His hands were folded head was bowed in respect

He was cook named meero

""kia hua meeru !!!..koi masla hae hai kia"

Jauher askd him humbly... meeru was loking quite worried

King and shamsudin were also looking attentively to cook

"hazzoor ration pani taqreeban khatam ho gaya hae... "

(taqreeban = almost)

Poor man was so ashamed like this was his own fault

Humyu closed his eyes and fist at once and clenched his teath in pure

frustration

"meeru!! Jitna bhi ration baki hae us sae tum kuch intezaam shru

karo..agay allah malik hae"

Jauhar dismissed him looking at his master reaction on this information

Poor guy was also got afraid by king false mood

...

"hamaray dost raja maldev nae tau munassib samaan dia tha safar

kay lya"

Humayu asked impatiently...

++++++

...they left from alwar (hindal mirza place) for riyasat maldev...maharaja

of maldev was humayu good friend and loyal to mughal emperor, he did

invite humayu in his rajya to stay when humayu was in alwar which was

sultan mirza hindal territory ...

But alas his misfortune reached their before him

His biggest enemy sher khan sent his messenger to maldev court and

warned him to step back from humayu support for his own

good...although raja maldev was loyal to freind but he could not take

responsibility of his court members ...he knew They were ready to betray

even their own king to save their own backs...

So when humayu reached near to maldev ... raja maldev warned them

the danger they can face in his state...his trusted salve met humayu near

maldev and gave his master's message in which king of maldev

requested his friend to stay away from his kingdom and suggested him to

stay in small reservation for couple of days

Then for token of his friendship and loyalty He also sent some slaves

and men with the food , tents animal and other things which helped them

a lot in this journey...but some how sher khan soldiers got news of their

stay in that small town and they attacked them in their unawareness ...

..although they succeeded in pushing those attacker and ran away

safely from their but unfortunately in all this mess they lost tracks of their

path and now they were wandering in this wilderness

++++++++++++++++++++

Thats they all were so worried ... hyumayu knew this is all his responsibility

..that's why he was getting impulsive

"hamaray dost raja maldev nae tau munassib samaan dia tha safar

kay lya"

Humayu asked impatiently

Shamsudina nd jauher looked at each other helplessly

"aap baja farmatay aaqa!... raja maldev nae reva kay safar kay lye

zaroort sae zyada ... zad e rah dia tha...

" (zaad e rah - provison for journey)

Jauher replied his master respectfully

"magar us hesaab sae hamaey ab tak reva phohanch jana chahiye

tha mere malik"

Humayu put his hands in his hairs and sighed in realization

"khuda hamary haal par reham kray ... reham kar mere malik reham

kar"

He prayed to god loudly

"AMEEn"

Jauhar and shams also joint their king in his prayers.

*******************************************************

bega begam and maham anga was taking care of hamida...

jauhar wife amna was with jiji anga ... ...

maham brought warm water and hold hamida bano feets

"begum sahiba is mae apne pair daal kar sikae kar lain "

hamida took her feet back

"yah kia kar rhi ho maham ...ham aisa har giz nahi karenge... "

bega begum was about to leave , stoppd

"kia hu hamida begum ... "

"aalya hazrat aap tau janti hain hamare pas pani ki kitni killat hae...

yaha logo k pass peenay ko pni nahi hae aur ham apne pao pani

mae daal araam karaye..nahi nhi yah ham sae nahi hoga"

(killat=shortage)

hamida was looking so innocent and strong

baiga begums smiled, sit beside hamida, hold her hands And said lovingly

"hamain Khushi hae aap apne logo kay lye itna sochti hain ... itne

naik dil maa ki aulad bhi dard mand dil ki malik hogi hamay yakeen

hae... magar yah tau sochiye hamara shahzada thak gaya hoga ...

uski maa ko aram miley ga tau hamara shahzada bhi sakoon sae so

paeega ga na "

hamida put her hand on her belly

" Alia hazrat hamara sahzada bohat Himmat wala hae..."

she was smiling proudly

"wo hamri takaleef ko samjhta hae... in na masaib halaat mae bari hi

hosley sae hamara saath de raha hae hamara shahzada"

(he knows and witnessing of our turmoil----- takaleef= prular of takleef,

takleef= pain, problem,-- hosla= patience, --na masaib not feasible, halat=

condition)

"woh jaanta us kay logo ko pani ki ashad zarrorat hae... bohat

himmati hae hamara bacha alia Hazrat"

(ashad= utter, bohat, shadeed...He knows his people in grieved need of

water)

baiga begum sighed in understanding and nodded, maham to take water

away...

... "aala hazrat phoochain tau kahdena... Ham nae Kaha hae.. ham un

ko baad mae bata denge"

she hold hamida hand

"aye hamida bano ham aap ko leta dete hain aap aram kar lain itne

mae ham aap kay lye aur inn kay lye kuch khaney ka bandobast kar

lete hai"

then she left the tent and headed towards the place where food was

preparing the maids there saw her and got up in respect seeing queen

heading towards them..

they were looking so worried

"malika e aliya khurak ki kami k baiz janwar bhi ddodh nhi de rahe...

ration bhi bass khatam hi hae... kuch chawal, anaaj..."

Bega begum thinks for moment

"mix all the grain pulses, rice and dry meat ... add some spices and

boil them in water make a harira (porridge ) ...add more water to

make it thin ..."

then she thinks some thing look at the milk pot ... it was not enough for every

one...

"give me two glass of boil milk and a bowl of warm water"

one bandi came with her with these things...first baiga begum went to her

and hamida bano tent ... baiga had good knowledge of art of medicine (not

only bega begum but dildar begum was also skilled physician )

Hamida was resting on bed , her eyes were close but she was not sleeping.

"hamida bano yah doodh pee lain is mae ham nae takat ki dawa milae

hae ...is sae aap ko sakoon aur apkay badan (body) aur hamare

bache ko sakoon milega"

hamida smiled on begha begum as she said hamara bacha ...she loves

when bega begum says lovingly hamara bacha ...

hamida ddidnt want but for bega lovely insist she took the glass and drank it

"shukarya begum sahiba ... hamay pata hae aala hazrat aur aap nae

kayee waqto sae sahi se nahi khaya"

"par hamare shahzade aur unki ummi jaan ki baat tau alag hae na"

bega pated hamida shoulder lovingly

"waise bhi hamara roza hae aur abhi afftab guroob nhi hua hae..."

baiga took hot water put some dried lavender leaves from her pouch

"khadima tum begum sahiba ka paer dhula do"

hamida was about to protest but stop with glare of bega

"this is not tub full of water bano .. this is just a glass of water to

wash your feet ... "

bandi starting to wash hamida feets ...

baiga took out small bottle , it has mixture eucalyptus oil, tea tree oil and

lavender oil and handed to bandhi

"After washing her foots ...message her with this oils mixture"

"jo hokum malika e aliya"

Bandhi took a bootle from queen's hand while washing another queens

feets

Bega looked towards her sautan and said sternly

"aur bano begum !!..aap bina nakhra kiye ... khadima ko apna kaam karne

dengi"

She pointed her finger while ordering with smilling eyes..

Hamida begum was pouting

"Hukum ki tameel hogi malika e aliya"

She said mischievously

Bega laughed ... she was feeling peace ful looking

hamida relax and happy

now she headingtowards shamsudin wife tent and handed same things

glass of milk, and water and small amount of oil mixture to amna for jiji anga

...jiji anga name was roshan anga

"roshan i cAMe BY MY SELF JUST TO MAKE SURE YOU will not

argue... this is my order " ...now have it."

jiji anga had tear came in her eyes

"aliya hazrat aapki itni mohabbat sae hamara dil bhar aata hae magar

, hamre shahanha aur unki begmat faaqay aur takleef mae hau aur

aur ham aram sae rahae hame gawara nhi hota"

(faaqa = not having food for some time specially due to poverty or

unavailability of food..., gawar nahi hota meansCant bear)

bega begum sat beside roshan ...she put her hand on jiji shoulder

"i know roshan ...but no body is more important than An expecting mother

and child in her womb."

"1 zacha aurat aur us Kay bache ae zyada koi

nahi hota ... ham hamida bano begum ko bhi abhi daant kar aye hain

ab aap ki bari"

she pated her head lovingly...roshan smiled gratefully and start drinking milk

"amna !! tum roshan k pao is pani dhulwa do phir is tael sae pairo ki

malish kar dena"

"amna !!wash roshan feets with this warm water than message her feet with this oil mixture ... she will feel good... i send food and some water for both of you"

bega begum left the tent ... she notice humayu was looking to her... she felt

sad for her husband, her lifelong friend , her companion ... she asked maid

with her to brought a wet cloth and some food and headed towards humayu

"begum !! bano begum ka kia haal hae... unhu nae kuch khaya?"

humayu asked deperetely, he was worried for hamida bano ...

baiga begum told him about hamida where abouts ...humayu was watching

his queen sadly

"Aap nae bhi kuch liya begum"

i have a fast u know na...and there is still time in sun set

"Ham rozey sae hae...aap ko maloom tau hae... aur abhi maghrib

honey mae kuch waqt baki he

humayu knew very well why she does fast every day with one dry date and

few sips of water...

... in the mean time a maid brought wet cloth and and some food ... baiga

begum asked humayu to eat ... but he refused

"ham bhi aap k saath hi khalenge begum abhi maghrib honay mae

kuch hi waqt baki hae "

Bega tried to insist but stoped looking his face

"ok we will eat together ...mean time i m with hamida begum... "

then she headed towards hamida tent after ordering maid to brought some

food for hamida bano

"hamida begum aap kana kha le phir ham aap k pairo ki sikai kar

denge"

maham start helping hamida to have her dinner

it was sloppy harira but hamida didnt show how the food is awefull in taste ...

bega begum took out a big pebble stone from her stuff ... put some

lavender and mint dried leaves in wet cloth... put peble stones on these

herbs ...and heating this from candle ...wet cloth didnt let cloth and herbs

burn

"laye hamida bano ham ap k pairo ki sikai kar dai"

she was trying to hold hamida feet

hamida hesitated ... mahm anga noticed this

"malika e aliya agar aap ki ijazat ho yah khidnmat hamkar laenge ."

"zacha (expecting woman) kay badan aur pairo ki malish aur sikai

kaise karni hain ache sae jante hain... aap kuch der araam kar lain

hazoor "

baiga begum was understanding hamida begum reluctance ... she got that

hamida would feel more comfortable with her caretaker rather than her

"theek hae ham aala hazrat ko daikhte hain tum dihan sae sikayee

kar dena ...agar yah kapra sookhne lage tau phir gila kar dena ...

dihan rahe begum sahiba ko takleef na ho"

"Ji hazoor"

Maham Bowed bediently while taking tht stone pouch from her mistress

hands

The queen left the tent and headed towards her beloved ... sun was about to

set... she knows she must openn her fast now ...

jauher was with him .. he greeted her and left from there

humayu looked towerds sky

"lejye begum iftar ka waqt hogaya ...bismillah karain"

he gave her glass of water which jauher just gave him to drink, bega took it

with teary eyes ... recite prayers for opening of fast and took two sips

"lejye hazoor ham nae pee lia ab aap bhi pani pee lin ham jante hain

aap nae bhi subhe sae kuch khaya pia bhi hae"

khadim brought food for royal couple

shahnsha humayu and his cheif queen malika e hind bega begum

experienced so much luxury and comfort in life together .. they were

witess of glory of mughal empire and royal family...

both were holding their plates ... the sloppy thing in plates is not appetizing

at all...

humayu took morsal of food

"Bismilah hir rah maan nirra heem "

Humayu recited loudly

"lejye begum hamare haath sae khaye ...yah bhi aap ko murg e

mussalam ka maza dega

He said mischievously

bega smiles and ate from HANDS OF her beloved

... Do waqt mil rahe thae... Asman par mahtaab jagmaga raha tha... Aur aftab

nae Maghrib Mae Apni laali phela kar bas abhi alwida Kaha tha... registan ki

shaur karti fizauon mae bhi ajab sa sakoon tha ...

In her tent hamida was trying to rest ... bed was not comfortable... its true

she was nota princes nor she enjoyed the luxury of queen even after

becoming one.. but she belonged to rich family ... although she was bearing

her pregnancy in these hardships with patience but this was not easy for her

..

She wanted to ask her attendant about king... but was hesitating

"na janay yah kab hamaray pass ayenge"

She thought while caressing her belly ...her child..

Universe was smiling on her little angel

The messiah of land was about to born. ... The time has come ... The time

of birth of Pride of Hindustan ... The admired of earth ...

Hamida bano begum didtnt tell to any one but she always felt tht her child

was not an ordinary child... When ever she thinks about her child, she felt a

divine peace ... luminescence around her

Chapter 3 ... continuation of last chapter

------------------------- HUMAYU AND HIS COMPANIONS were offering

isha (night time ) prayers ... hamida and bega begum were sharing tent

hamida bano thinking about fate of her baby... Bega begum was offering

namaz ...

hamida was so much in her thoughts she didnt see bega begum finished her

prayer...

"kin khiyalon mae gum hae bano aap"

"what are you thinking bano"

baiga begum asked while doing tasbeeh

hamida smiled

"soch rahe thae aap kitne hosle wali hain" (you r so courageous)...

"in this harsh time and condition you are taking care 0f all... specially

mine"

baiga beegum finished her tasbeeh, recited ayat al kursi and blow towards

hamida belly...

"arey bano begum aap zayada sochiye matt ..yah samjhae kay ham

apne mustakbil (future) kay shahnsha ki khidmat kar rahe hain"

hamida was very amused with this

"acha!! how do u know this little angel is a boy"

Bega became quite... it was like she knew some thing

hamida bano also noticed it

"kia hua begum sahiba"

she asked worriedly

baiga begum was looking in delima

"hamida bano ...aaj hamra dil aap ko 1 baat Batana chah raha hae"

She thought for a moment to recall

before reaching to alwar at hindal mirza place one night shahansha saw a

dream ... in dream aala hazrat was in very bad condition he saw a saint ...

and asked him to pray for him ... saint gave him news of a son soon ... in

dream he told him tht he lost every thing... saint told him tht he will find

double with the the golrious fate of his son"

("hindal mirza k haan anay sae phele ala hazrat nae 1 khuaab dekha

tha "khuab mae 1 noornani buzurg inko dikhain... jab sultan nae dua

ki darkhuast ki tau buzurg nae basharat di k jald hi 1 beta hoga ")

Shahnsha nae kaha k ham apna sab kuch kho chukain hain tau

buzurg nae farmaya k shahzade k naseeb sae sab dugna kar kay

wapas pao gay"

hamida bano was stunned

"did shahshsha know thth saint"

hamida asked curiously

baiga begum seemed uneasy

"inhu nae hamain itna hi btaya ... ap sae shayad islye zikar na kia ho

..kay kahi aap yah gumaan na karain k he wants only boy"

baiga smiled nervously

a bandi asked permission to enter in tent room

"baigam sahiba !!, hazoor ala hazrat tashreef laa rahe hain"

Maid inform them while bowing

baiga begum about to stand up, humayun entered in the tent and did salam

to his both wife then asked hamida

"bano beugm kaisa mahsoos kr rhi hain aap"

"Allah ka fazal aur aap ki inayat sae bohat behtar hain aali jaa"

hamida bano said while looking gratefully to baiga begum

"begam sahiba nae bhi hamari temardari mae koi kasar nhi utha

rakhi... hamain maa, behan kisi ki kami mahsoos nhi honay deti yah"

humayu looked affectionately towards his first wife

bega smilled embarrassedly

"Hamida begum tau aise hi bass... Yah khud Bohat himmat wali hain

..."

Bega noticed, her husband tired face ... he was looking defeated

"hazoor aap kuch der araam farma ley ...ham zara dusrey logo ki

kahiryat drayaft kar lain" (daryaft = know, ask)

humayu noded with smile...he knew well his first wife wants him to spend

some time with his new wife who is carrying his child ...he knew every one

has expectations, every one has their own rights and sentiments...he knew

very well...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

humayu sat on bed ... he was looking very sad

"bano aap bhi sochti hongi kis naam kay shahnsha say shadi karli?

... bakhuda dil rota hae hamara aap ko is haal mae itni takleef uthatey"

hamida put her head on his shoulder

"aap aisa kiun sochtain hain mere shahnsha"

humayu was looking very tired and helpless

"ham nae aap ko samjhaya tha begum ...CHOTI AMMI jaan KAY saath

GAZNI chali jaye ..abhi aap ki zachgi bass shuru hi hui thi..."

(zachgi= pregnancy)

hamida hold his hand tightly to consoul him

"nahi begum !!"

humayu stressed

"aap nhi jaanti choti ammi jaan ko hikmat mae bohat kamal hasil hae"

----"woh aap ki achi khayal dari karti... aur phir gawar begum aur

hamari dukhtar bakhshi bano bhi Lahore sae wahi arahi hae"

(hikmat= medicine, dukhter= beti)

Hamida sighed

"haam jantey hain aala hazrat ...yah rasta ham nae khud chuna tha "...

hamida said seriously while trying to sit straight

"ham yah bhi bohat achi trha jantey hain kay aaliya hazrat dildar

begum hamara bohat zyada khayal rakhti ...waha hamay har trha ka

araam milta"

hamida quite for a while, look at her worried husband, take his face in her

palms and turn him towards her

"par yah tau sochiyah aap kay bina haam kitnna tanha rah jatay..."

humayu hold her hand ...and kissed them effectionately... he was carsing her

face lovingly

"hamain aap kay saath sae zyada aap ka araam ka khayal hae jaan e

humayu"

"aur hamay aap ka saath ka!!..."

Hanimada bano stressed

" hazar mushkilat bhi manzoor hae mere sartaaj agar hamsafer aap

hau ... hamara shahzada is dunya mae yae aur un kay abba hazoor ki

koi khabar na ho... aise araam ka kia faida "

humayu kissed her fore head and keep his lips on her beloved forhead for a

while... ..like trrying to get all her pain , all her worries... he was praying for

his wife and his child safety and health

"aye malik e do jahan ... hamrey bachay aur uski walida ki hifazat

farma... hamraye aamalo ki saza in masoom jano ko na daye Mere

rabb.."

hamida waited patiently ... humayu finished his prayer and open his

eyes...he was so involve in his prayer tht he litteraly forget tht he is still

holding hamida and his lips are still on her forehead... he left her face with

little embarasement ... put his head on head board of bed...

hamida bano also layed down and put her head in his lap... she can sense

his sorrow and helpesness. she can see he was tired realy tired but the

dream of humayu which bega begum told her, was still in her mind

... "agar nagawar na guzrey tau 1 baat phoochay hazoor?... (if u don't

mind)

hamida asked her husband hesitently

humayu noded

"hmm"

"bega begum aap k kisi khuwab ka zikar kar rhi thi ... kay ...kisi

buzurg nae roya mae aap ko farzand ki basharat di thi...??/ "

(roya = dream, farzand = son, basharat = prophecy of good news news)

hamdia asked hesidently,...then added with little disapointment

"ham soch rahe thae hazoor nae ham sae is ka zkar nhi kia kabhi"

humayu didnt reply...hamida turned her head towards him but it seemed he

was else where ... far away in his thoughts

Flash back

IN the THISTLED WILDERNESS humayu was roaming aimlessly .. he was lost

"yah khuda yah musibaton ka imtehaan kab kahtam hoga... ab tau

khonay ko hamaray pass kuch bhi na rha mere malik ... kuch bhi nhi

raha"

he sat beside the nearly mound tired and broken

"utho jawan... "

a booming saintly voice came from above

"uTho jawan... yah waqt khonay ka nahi kuch panay ka hae"

Humayu stand up astonishingly dekha tau 1 buzurg noorani chehra ... is

sitting on mound doing prayers... from his face it was not looking that he just

talked ...his eyes was close... he was absolutely in his concentration

...humayu felt a fresh breez after looking at tht saint... he was feeling half of

his tirdness and worried alreadt washed away

"asslam o alikum ya hazrat"

baba was still busy in his prayrs...

"baba hamary lye dua karain...bohat mushkil ka waqt hae... kahi

roshni dikhayee nahi deti...har taraf bass andhera hi hae"

humayu requested despretedly...it was looking he found a ray of hope in this

devine face ...baba opened his eyes...

"himmat na haro ... umeed tumharau darwazay par hae... jald 1 baa-

naseeb beta tumhari khushkismati ka naya daur ban kar anay wala

hae" "

baba khandan bikhar gaya hae... kuch salamat nahi... "

baba didn't give say any thing on humayu uncertanity

"farzand ka naam jalau din rakhna...akbar woh khud ban jaega"

humayun smiled unbelieveably and wispered

"jalal u din mohammad akbar"

saint raised his voice

"NAHI"

"jalal u din moahammad" ...

"akabr banna us k apne haath mae hain... yah baat jab tak puri nahi

ho jati ...is zameen par bas 1 hi insaan ko maloom rah sakti hae...

dehaan rahe ...bass 1 hi admi ... aur is waqt woh 1 admi tum hoi

...TUM"

Humayu felt he was shivering ... it was cold really cold

"Aap kon hae hain baba"

He asked reluctantly

"Hamay ahmed jam kehte hain... hum tumhae sultan mirza hindal kay

thikaay par milain ge"

(Thikana = place)

""sultan - mirza - hindal --.."

Humayu repeated ubneleibably

"Aap ka qayam hindal mirza kay haan hae baba..??"

(Qayam = stay)

He was amazed , thinking what what a co incident he was also going to

meet his brother hindal mirza...

Baba didn't reply his query

"ayo dua kar lain"

humayu came out from his thoughts and rose his hand after hearing saint

voice... he involved so much in dua tht didnt realsie how much time have

passed... when he realised for his surprise no body was there...

"baba... BABA" -----------------------------------

He was calling the saint madly

"aaqa...aqaaa"

it was like some one calling him from far far away...BUT ...it was jauhar

voice...he was caaling him from his sleep... humayu opened his eyes... the he

realised it was dream ... he was sitting beside tree... they were was going to

meet mirza hindal at alwar ..which was also hindal territory ... ... Humyu cant

beleive it was a dream ... but tht dream left so much effect on him that he felt

he has no energy left. jauhar was still standing folding his hands respectfully

waiting for his master response

"aap ki tabyat tau theek hae na mere aaqa?"

his loyal friend was asking worrdly

humyu was not feeling good

"jauhar tum jao ... ham chand lamhe tanha rehna chahte hain... kuch

der mae khud hi tashreef le ayenge" ...

=============

when they reached to near alwar...alwar was bordering city of hindal

kingdom. these days hindal mirza was staying with his wife and and his

mother... dildar begum... the second chief queen of emperor babar and step

mother of humayu...she loveed humayu as her own children... sultan mirza

hindal, gulnar bano begum and gulbadan bano begum... they were also with

hindal and dildar begum with some other royal mughal ladies hindal mirza

met with respect but humayu can see ...that warmth was missing from his

dear and courageous brother style...his behavior was respectful yet cold..

he can see hindal mirza wasnot pleased with him ...he can see in the eyes of

mirza hindal...but humayu didnt say any thing to his brother nor hindal ...they

both were behaving normal ...

in the evening dildar begum invited humayu at evening feast to meet other

royal ladies..his unts, sisters, and cousin sisters.

where he saw an angelic face of young girl... till tht day he really forgot tht

dream...most of his wifes were staying with their parents family ... he cant

take so many ladies and children with him every where ... he had only his

queen consort and first wife bega begum with him ... she just lost her

daughter ...she was not in good health and to be very honest thinking about

taking new wife was not his mind... but after loking this mahjabeen innocent

face...he coildnt stop himeslef asking curiously

(mahjabee = beautiful face=== mah = chand, moon,...jabeen = chehra,, face )

"madre meharbaan andhere ko ujalay mae badalnae wali yah sar-apa noor dosheeza kon thi"

(Madr = mother, meharbaan= gracious -- , ujala = roshni, light---, Saraapa = just like, whole , saraapa nor = just like glowing head to toe--, dosheeeza = young girl)

dildar begum who was noticing keenly her half son taking interest in girl

replied with smile

"yah hamida bano hain... mirza hindal kay ataliq aur musheer e khas mir baba dost ki dukhter ...aaj kal yah hamari hi khidmat aur sarparsti mae hain..."

humayu was thinking to ask about any ahmed jaami sahib in hindal court

.

dildar begum gave him food pltter to start meal... and added admirely

"ham sab is bachi kay ikhlaq sae boaht hi khush hain... asal mae is

ka khandan hamaray khandan ki 1 shaakh hae... tum nae suna hoga

... hazrat ahmad jami zinda peel ...bohat hi phonchay hue buzrg thae

..yah unhi ki chothi (4^th) nasal sae hae.

she is from forth generation of his direct decendents. there came spark of

excitement came on humayu face after hearing hamed jami name...he

stopped eating "ahmed -jami - zinda peel---" he repetead name deep

thinking

"ham nae bhi in kay kashaf aur karamat kay baray mae suana hae"

dildar begum nodded to nearly maid to serve king more...

"bohat hi ilm dost khandan hae...mard aurat sab hi ilm o fazal mae

mahir hain" (ilm =literature, education))

humayu raised his hand to excuse maid who was offering more food to

him...his full attention wason dildar beegum----

dildar begum pour some more sharbat in humayu glass

"hamida kay walid mir baba dost shansha babar kay achay doston

mae sae thae...un ka asal naam tau mir mohammad akbar jami

hae...magar firdause makkani aap k walid inko pyar sae mir baba

dost bulatay thae... mirza hindal inki bohat hi izzat kartay hain"

humayu was thinking .. should he tell to his mother about his dream... should

he actually have to think and take that dream seriously...??

dildar begum was looking him... she can see whats going in his mind... she

diverted his attaention to other ladies... "gulbadan bano aaka ko sheerini

pesh karay" humayu looked towards other ladies

"kaise mizaaj hain aap sab kay"

he asked his sisters and cousins... all were

smiling shyly ..only gulbadan bano replied ----

one of humayu aunt asked abt bega begum's health and his other wives

,humayu remembered his lost daughter

"chachi jaan ... bas kismat ki kharabi hamari phool si bachi hamari

aqeeqa sultan pata nhi mushkilat ki bheed mae kaha kho gae...bega

begum tau phir bhi maa hain... allah rehem karay unpr"

mahol became grieved ... humayu was informing them about his other wifes

and their daughters ... but looking distant so he took his leave from royal

ladies

Humayu came in his room... bega begum was sleeping ... he was thinking

before taking any decision...he should first share his dream and its

supposed interpretation to his wife ,..

bega was suffering from savior depression these days... He knew that this

was not first time when he was thinking of taking another wife...but this time

situation was different he him self was in dilemma , ...what to do ...??

He came in balcony adjacent to his room

Door kahi koi mugnia apne suro sae fiza ko gamgeen kar rhi thi

(a melodic female voice was making atmosphere sorrow,... mugnia = female

singer)

sulag raha hae yah sehra meri nawa ki tarha (sulag = burn, sehra = poetry,

nawa = story)

hae bay asar mera naala meri dua ki tarhha (bay asar = useless, naala =

grief, crying, .. dua = prayer

tere khayal teri justuju mae janae bahar

(khayal = thinking, justuju = search, jane bahar = beloved)

bhatak raha hu mae kab sae yuhi saba ki tarha (bhatak = wander, saba = wind)

yah intezar ki ghadiya tamaam kab hongi (intezaar = wait, ghdia = moment, tamam = end)

Hamida bano was looking at her husband... He was deep in his thoughts

She put her hand on her husband shoulder,

He didn't reply her yet

She wanted to know about his dream which was actually about her and her

child and humayu didn't tell her but his another wife

She pressed his shoulder lightly making him came out from his thoughts

" aap nae bataya nahi HAZoor "

Humayu smiled slightly

hold her hand and kissed on her palms...making her smile in shyness...

" bano agar aap ab kuch acha mahsoos kar rahi hae tau kuch der

bahar chahel kadmi kar lete hain ... Achi thandi hawa hae ...yaha

Kheme Mae kuch Ghutan ho rahai hae"

(chahal kadmi - walk, khema = tent)

He wanted to talk in open air ..

Hamida smiled ... She also wanted to spend time with him in open air

"Jaisa aap kahae... Hamey bhi khuli hawa Mae acha lage ga"

Humayu helped her in getting up... She has almost her full term... In her full

belly she was looking even more beautiful and angelic...he took his eyes

away from her

He has tears in his eyes... In this condition he can not give his queen any

thing...not a simple comfort...

Hamida felt it... She was very sensitive and sweet... She can sense his guilt

and sadness

"Kia soch ne lage aap"

She asked

Humayu headed towards tent entrance

"Chalye bano "

There was no guard outside their tent ...A Bandi was sitting outside near the

tent... She got up seeing Royal couple.

King nodded to her ...

Humayu was holding her hand and shoulder ... It was not easy to walk on

desert sand ... But sand was really soothing... Hameeda took off her slippers

and start walking bare foot... She was only 16... Looking like angel in moon

light ...

She noticed her hubby gaze on her face

"aise Kia Dekh rahe hain aap hamain

She asked shyly

Humayun moved his hands from her shoulder and surrounded her back

" Dekh rahe hae is chandni Raat Mae aap chand ka noor lag rahi

hae... Chand waha falak par hae ...par chandni ki kirne yaha hamare

phelu sae phoot rahi hain"

(falak = sky, chand ki kirnay = moon light, chandni,--- phely = side , photo = coming)

Hamida bano face was glowing in pleasure

" aap tau chandni raat Mae shayeri Karne lage"

..".yah tau hamare dil ki awas hae ...aap isko shayeri Kahti hain tau yahi

Sahi"

He was really feeling light

Hamida bano thinks to start again topic of that dream

" ab chorye HAZoor hame aur na banaeye ... "

"Hamari kia majal Jo ham aap ko banaye begum... Ap ko tau khuda

nae khud apne haath sae banaya hae ..."

Now he was in naughty mood

Hamida didnt get his mischief

"Matlab??"

she was pouting

" matlab yah Kay aap roothte hue aur bhi haseen lagti hai"

Now hamida got he was pulling her leg...

"Rehne dai bass ... "

She made more pouty face

"Itna ahem roya (dream in urdu/Persian) aur aap nae hamey batay

bhi nahi"

(ahem = important)

Humayu instantly got serious... He took long breath

"Khuab sae zyada ham usey kashf kahai gay... Hindal Mirzah aur

choti Ammi jaan ki taraf jatey hue hamara Kafila kuch der ko aram

Karney ruka tha... Ham 1 paer (tree) k neche sastaney ( to sit for rest

for a while) Kay lye ankhey moond kar behthe thae Kay "

(kashf) a kind if dream which comes ...when we are not in deep sleep .

..some times it's looks so real)

I(n the way of choti Ammi jaan and Mirzah Hindal ... We were halted for rest

and lunch)

He was for choosing proper words

"Ham ne dekha 1 noorani chehra Buzurg ... Unhu nae hamey 1

fazand (son)

ki basharat (divine pleasing news= prophecy) di aur..."

humayu looked at his wife meaningfully

" ...aur apna Naam ahmad jam bataya tha"

Hamida startled on this name ... now she got the hint god gave him was not

only for his son but their son.. ...

Humayu continued

"Kiun k hamari koi begum bhi hamarey saath nahi thi... Bega begum

apne gham sae behaal thi ... Is kashf (a kind if dream which comes

...when we are not in deep sleep ...some times it's looks so real) ko

ham mehez khuab samjh kar Bohol Gaye... "

(mehez= only, mere)

He looked towards his wife And smiled fondly

" magar phir jab aap ko dekha tau dil Mae 1 kasak jagi"

(kasak = wish which is hard to be true)

Hamida didn't want to say but just couldn't stopped her

" tau yah kahain na HAZoor nae ham sae is wajha sae shadi ki "

She asked lightly

" nahi bhi or haan bhi"

Hamida didn't say any thing

"Sach bataye tau halat hamey 1 aur shadi ki ijazat nahi dete thae...

Bega begum ko bhi bura mahsoos hua jab ham nae unko bataya Kay

ham aap sae Nikah Kay khuahish mand hai "

"Tabhi aap nae unko bataya Hamay nahi..."

She seemed little disappointed

Humayu knows very well how to make balance btw wifes ...he was in

polygamous relationship from his youth

"Bega begum hamari sab sae pheli bwi hain hamari Mamoo zaad...

UN Kay baad ham nae aur bhi Nikah ki ye ... Bega begam nae sda

hamre faislo Mae hamara saath dia... Magar is waqt ...Zara alag baat

thi...ham hakoomat kho chuke hain, hamari aur bega begam ki bachi

... Hamari aqeeqa sultan bhi ham sae bichar gae..."

sda = always)

This made him very sad... His voice became teary This was unbearable

trauma for him

Hamida bano can feel his pain ...she put her one hand on his shoulder...

Now they were sitting on a small mound...

Humayu composed himself

"Is baar bhi jab ham nae unko is roya Kay baray Mae bataya...tau phir

se sabar aur hoslay say hamara saath dia... "

Then he added

" aap say is baat Ka zikr ham nae is layer nahi kia Kay aap yah na

khayaal karay Kay ham nae waris Kay lye aap sae shadi ki ... Sach

maniye Aap hamy Bohat Azeez hain bano... "

(azeez = dear)

hamida also had tear in her eyes ... She smiled with teary eyes...

" ham jaantey hain mere shahnsha... Aap kis takleef sae guzar rahae hain ham samjh sakte hain "

He didn't reply

Now they were sitting there quietly .

Talking with Each other in silence...

... Door tak bass ... Registaan ki hawa ki halki halki awaz... Humayu aur

hamida khamoshi ki zuban mae batay kar rahae thae... (zuban = language)

All of sudden hamida asked him to recite some poetry for her

She loved poetry specially from his sad voice

Humayu thought for a while

"Sun ye"

Hamida made her comfortable and l slightly laid back on him... Humayu

embraced her

" Chand nikle tau mera jism mehek uthta hae

Rooh Mae uthti taza mohbbat ki trha

Teri khatir tau koi jaan bhi le sakta hu

Mae nae chaha hae tujhe GAOn ki izzat ki tarha

Khul rahi hae mere dereena masail ki girah

Mere mahol Mae utra hae woh barkat ki tarha

Ab tere Hijr Mae koi lutf nahi hae baki

Ab tujhe yaad bhi karte hae tau Adat ki tarha

Tum meri pheli mohabat tau nhi hau lekin!!

Mae nae chaha hae tumhae pheli mohabat ki tarha

Mere dil Mae koi masoom sa bacha hae wasi

Jo tujhe SOCHTa rehta hae shararat ki tarha

Hamida didn't say any thing...she was mesmerized in the poem ...

"Kaisi lagi bano" "Bohat khubsurat Bohat pyari ."

"Ab ham kuch sunain"

She asked playfully

..."zaroor irshad"

hamida start reciting in his melodic voice

Yeh Kaamyabiyan Izzat Yeh Naam Tum Se Hai

Khuda Ne Jo Bhi Diya Hai Maqam Tum Se Hai

Tumhare Dam Se Hain Mere Lahoo Mai Khilte Gulaab

Mere Wujood Ka Saara Nizam Tum Se Hai

Kahan Bisaat-E-Jahan Aur Mai Kamsin Aur Nadaan

Yeh Meri Jeet Ka Sab Ahtemam Tum Se Hai

Jahan Jahan Hai Meri Dushmani Sabab Mai Hoon

Jahan Jahan Hai Mera ahteraam tum se hai

👏
