Irshad rahi

Unknown Location

Irshad Rahi ek aisa naam hai jo kalam ko sirf likhne ka auzar nahi, balki insaan ke dil tak pahuchne wala pul maanta hai. Unki lekhani mein sheher ki saansen bhi sunayi deti hain aur gaon ki dhadkanein bhi. Rahi sahab un chand lekhakon mein se hain jo shabdon ko mahaz vaakyon mein nahi, balki aankhon ki nami aur dil ki dhadkano mein daal dete hain. Unhone hamesha aam aadmi ke dard, sangharsh, mohabbat, berozgaari, tootte rishte aur samaj ki khamosh cheekhon ko apni kahaniyon mein jiya hai. Unki rachnaayein isliye asardar hain kyunki woh likhte nahi— mahsus karwate hain. Pathak jab unke kisi afsane ya naatak ko padhta hai, to kirdaron ke saath chal padta hai, girta hai, uthta hai aur khud mein ek naya insaan khoj leta hai. “Kaanch Par Chalte Huye Log” unki samvedan-sheelta aur samajik chetna ki anuthi misaal hai. Is naatak mein Rahi sahab ne jeevan ki unhi raahon ko dikhaya hai, jin par chalte hue insaan baahari duniya se nahi, khud ke zakhmon se kattah hai. Unke likhe samvaad utne hi saral hain jitni zindagi, aur utne hi chubhne wale jitni sachchai. Irshad Rahi maante hain ki sahitya ka asli kaam dilon ko jodna, zakhmon par marham rakhna aur insaan ko insaan banaye rakhna hai. Yahi wajah hai ki unki har rachna pathako ko sirf padhne ka anubhav nahi deti— balki badalne ka hausla bhi deti hai.
