Disclaimer
This book is transliteration of Umera Ahmed’s masterpiece Peer-e-Kaamil WITHOUT HER PERMISSION.
This is only for those readers who understand Urdu but can’t read it. On Goodreads, some people asked meabout Roman transliteration of Peer-e-Kamil. I couldn’t find it, so I made a mental note to try and make it available to others for free when I get time. Then I forgot about it because I never get time.
And this morning, I got this book. Some kind soul had enough time to transliterate, print, and spiral bind and bring it home.
Anyone interested in reading the roman version can borrow from me.
And those online can read it here.
P.S. This is NOT English translation. If you want that, it’s available on Amazon.
Filomena Francis ne apne haath me pakde hue packetmaiz par rakhte hue ek nazar hall me daudhaai.Paper shuru hone me abhi 10 minutes baaqi they. Aurhall me moujood student, kitabein, notes aurnotebook pakde tezi se safey aagey peeche karte unpar aakhri nazar daal rage they. Unke jismani harkaatse unki pareshani aur isteraab ka izhaar ho raha tha.Filomena France ke liye ye ek bht maanoos scenetha. Phir unki nazre takreeban hall ke darmiyaan mebaithey hue Salar par jaa thehri. 25 students me wous waqt wahid student tha jo itmenaan se apni kursipar taang pe taang rakhe baitha tha. Ek haath mescale pakde hue aahista aahista use apne joote pemaarte hue itmenaan se idhar udhar dekh raha tha.Filomena ke liye ye scene bhi naya nahi tha. Apne 7saala career me, unhone papers ke dauran Salar koisi befikri aur laparvahi ka muzahira karte paya tha.
9baj kar 2 minutes pe unhone Salar ke paas se guzartehue MCQs par Mamneet objective type paper thamadiya. 30 minutes ke baad unhe wo paper unse lenatha. 9:10 pe unhone Salar ko apni kursi se khada hotedekha. Uske khade hote hi uske peechey moujoodtamaam students ne sar utha kar use dekha. Wopaper haath me liye Filomena France ki taraf jaa rahatha. Filomena France ke liye, ye scene bhi naya nahitha. Wo pehle bhi yehi kuch dekhti aayin thi. 30minutes me hal kiya jane wala paper, wo 8 minuteshal karke unke sar par khada tha.
“Paper ko dobara dekh lo” Unhone ye jumla ussenahi kaha. Wo janti thi ki iska jawab kya hoga. ‘Me,dekh chuka hu.’ Aur agar Use ek baar phir paperdekhne par majboor karti, to wo hamesha ki tarah,
papers le jaakar, apni kursi ke hattey par rakh kar,baazu seene par lapet kar baith jata. Unhe yaad nahi
tha ki kabhi usne kabhi unke kehne par paper kodobara check kiya ho. Aur wo ye tasleem karti thi ke
use iski zarurat bhi nahi thi. Uske paper me kisi ekbhi ghalati ko dhoondna bht mushkil kaam tha.
Unhone ek halki si muskurahat ke saath uske haathse paper pakad liya.
“Tum Jante ho Salar, meri zindagi ki sabse baditamanna kya hai?” Unhone paper par nazar daalte
hue kaha.
“Ke me tumhe 30 minutes ka paper, 30 minutes kebaad submit karwate hue dekhu.”Wo unki baat pe khafeef andaz me muskuraya.
“Aapki ye khwaish, us soorat me poori ho sakti haimam, agar me ye paper, 150 saal ki umar me hal
karne baithu.
“Nahi, mera khayal hai ki 150 saal ki umar me tum yepaper 10 minutes me hal karoge” Is baar wo hasa aurwapas mudh gaya. Filomena France ne uske paper kesafaat ko ulat palat karke dekha. Ek sar sari si nazarunko ye batane ke liye kaafi thi, ki wo is paper mekitne number gawayega.
Zero.
Stay tuned for more book reviews.
