daanyaal kee aakhiree royaa
1faars kay baadshaah khoras kee hukoomat kay teesray saal men beltashazzar yaanee daanyaal par ek baat zaahir huee jo yaqeenee hai aur jis ka taalluq ek badee museebat say hai. usay roya men is paighaam kee samajh haasil huee.
2un dinon men main, daanyaal teen pooray haftay maatam kar raha tha. 3na main nay umda khaana khaaya, na gosht ya mai meray honton tak pahunchee. teen pooray haftay main nay har khushboodaar tel say parhez kiya. 4pahelay maheenay kay 24ven din [a] 23 aprail. main baday darya dijla kay kinaaray par khada tha. 5main nay nigaah uthaaee to kya dekhta hoon ki meray saamnay kataan say mulabbas aadmee khada hai jis kee kamar men khaalis sonay ka patka bandha hua hai. 6us ka jism pukhraaj [b] topas jaisa tha, us ka chihara aasmaanee bijlee kee tarah chamak raha tha, aur us kee aankhen bhadaktee mash’alon kee maanind theen. us kay baazoo aur paaon paalish kiay huay peetal kee tarah damak rahay thay. boltay vaqt yoon lag raha tha ki bada hujoom shor macha raha hai.
7sirf main, daanyaal nay yah roya dekhee. meray saathiyon nay usay na dekha. to bhee achaanak un par itnee dahshat taaree huee ki vah bhaag kar chhup gaay. 8chunaanchay main akela hee rah gaya. lekin yah azeem roya dekh kar meree saaree taaqat jaatee rahee. meray chiharay ka rang maand pad gaya aur main bebas hua. 9phir vah bolnay laga. usay suntay hee main munh kay bal gir kar madahosh haalat men zameen par pada raha. 10tab ek haath nay mujhay chhoo kar hilaaya. us kee madad say main apnay haathon aur ghutnon kay bal ho saka.
11vah aadmee bola, “ai daanyaal, too allaah kay nazdeek bahut giraanqdar hai! jo baaten main tujh say karoonga un par ghaur kar. khada ho ja, kyoonki is vaqt mujhay teray hee paas bheja gaya hai.” tab main thartharaatay huay khada ho gaya. 12us nay apnee baat jaaree rakhee, “ai daanyaal, mat darna! jab say too nay samajh haasil karnay aur apnay khuda kay saamnay jhuknay ka poora iraada kar rakha hai, usee din say teree sunee gaee hai. main teree duaaon kay javaab men a gaya hoon. 13lekin faarsee baadshaahee ka sardaar 21 din tak meray raastay men khada raha. phir meekaael jo allaah kay sardaar farishton men say ek hai meree madad karnay aaya, aur meree jaan faarsee baadshaahee kay us sardaar kay saath ladnay say chhoot gaee. 14main tujhay vah kuchh sunaanay ko aaya hoon jo aakhiree dinon men teree qaum ko pesh aaega. kyoonki roya ka taalluq aanay vaalay vaqt say hai.”
15jab vah meray saath yah baaten kar raha tha to main khaamoshee say neechay zameen kee taraf dekhta raha. 16phir jo aadmee sa lag raha tha us nay meray honton ko chhoo diya, aur main munh khol kar bolnay laga. main nay apnay saamnay khaday farishtay say kaha, “ai meray aaqa, yah roya dekh kar main dard-ay-zah men mubtala aurat kee tarah pech-o-taab khaanay laga hoon. meree taaqat jaatee rahee hai. 17ai meray aaqa, aap ka khaadim kis tarah aap say baat kar sakta hai? meree taaqat to javaab day gaee hai, saans lena bhee mushkil ho gaya hai.”
18jo aadmee sa lag raha tha us nay mujhay ek baar phir chhoo kar taqviyat dee 19aur bola, “ai too jo allaah kee nazar men giraanqdar hai, mat darna! teree salaamatee ho. hausla rakh, mazboot ho ja!” joon hee us nay mujh say baat kee mujhay taqviyat milee, aur main bola, “ab meray aaqa baat karen, kyoonki aap nay mujhay taqviyat dee hai.”
20us nay kaha, “kya too meray aanay ka maqsad jaanta hai? jald hee main dubaara faars kay sardaar say ladnay chala jaaoonga. aur us say nipatnay kay baad yoonaan ka sardaar aaega. 21lekin pahelay main teray saamnay vah kuchh bayaan karta hoon jo ‘sachchaaee kee kitaab’ men likha hai. (in sardaaron say ladnay men meree madad koee naheen karta siva-ay-tumhaaray sardaar farishtay meekaael kay.
