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.
Wo pichle aadhe ghante se kamraan ko video gamekhelte hue dekh raha tha. Screen par moujood scoreme kuch khaas izafa nahi ho raha tha. Shayad iskiwajah wo mushkil track tha jispar kamraan ko gaadidrive karni thi. Salar lounge ke sofon me se ek sofepar baitha, apni notebook par kuch likhne memasroof tha, magar waqtan fa waqtan nazar utha karTV screen ko bhi dekh raha tha, jahan kamraan apnijadd o jahad me masroof tha.
Theek aadhe ghanta baad notebook band karke saamne padhi maiz parrakh di. Phir mooh par haath rakh kar jamai roki.Dono taange saamne padhi maiz par rakh kar, aurdono haathon ki ungliyaan sar ke peechey baandheywo kuch der screen ko dekhta raha, jahan kamraanapni tamaam chances zaya karne ke baad, ek baarphir naya game khelne ki tayyari kar raha tha.
“Kya problem hai kamraan?” Salar ne kamraan komukhatib kiya
“Ese, bas naya game leke aaya hu, magar score karneme badi mushkil ho rahi hai.” Kamraan ne bezaari sekaha.
“Achha mujhe dikhao” Usne sofe se uthkar remotecontrol uske haath se le liya.
Kamraan ne dekha,pehle 20 second me hi salar usko jis speed se udaraha tha, us speed par kamraan abhi tak nahi daudhpaya tha. Jo track usko mushkil lag raha tha, wo salarke samne ek bachkana cheez mehsoos raha tha. 1minute wo jis speed par gaadi daudha raha tha, usispeed par kamraan ke liye us par nazrein jamanamushkil ho gaya. Jabke salar, is speed par bhi gaadiko mukammal taur par control kiye hue tha.
3 minutebaad pehli baar kamraan ne gaadi ko dagmagate aurphir track par se utarte aur phir ek hamake ke saathusko tabah karte dekh.Kamraan ne kuch muskurate gardan modh kar Salarko dekha,“Gaadi kyu tabah hui thi?”Wo jaan gaya tha ke ab remote salar ke haath kebajaye, maiz par padha tha. Wo apni notebookuthaye khada ho raha tha. Kamraan ne sar utha keuse dekha.“Bht boring game hai.” Kamraan ne tabsara kiya aurkamraan ki taangon ko phalangte hue lounge sebahar nikal gaya. Kamraan honth bheechey saathinso pe mabni, us score ko dekh raha tha, jo screenke ek koney me jagmaga raha tha. Kuchh na samajhaane wale andaaz me behrooni darwaze ko dekha,jisse wo ghayab hua tha.
Stay tuned for more book reviews.
