January ka mahina tha, thand bahut thi aur gehri dhund chaaron taraf chhayi hui thi. Bande ko banda dikhaayi nahi de raha tha, chaaron taraf shaant vatavaran tha. Pind ke chadhte raste se kheton wali raaste se kisi ki gaanay ki awaaz aa rahi thi. Dard bhari awaaz dheere-dheere pind ke paas aa rahi thi. Firni te khadi mudiyaan ki dhaani galla karte-karte achanak chup ho gayi. Vichon ek munde ne kaha, "Aye, kehra dhund mein gaauda turra aa raha hai?" Dusre ne kaha, "Yaaro, suno to sahi, kehra geet gaa raha hai?"

Fir dhund mein se dard bhari awaaz gooji:
"Mana bas kar ro na be-samajhha, sajna ne mudh ke aana nahi,
Tera pind patthar dil loka da, tainu chup vi kise karauna nahi."

Holi-holi dard bhari awaaz nered aa gayi, fir vichon ek jaane ne kaha, "Yaaro, yeh ta apna Rajan Baljinder hai. Aa bai, Baljinder, sahi, aise thand mein bhi tu rona-dhona wale geet gaa raha hai."

"Yaar, geet ki gaane si kheta nu gaya si, hun aaudiya time pass karan laii geet gaan lag pya," Baljinder ne jawab diya.

"Yaar Baljinder, dard bhare geet bina wajah gaae na jaade, naal hi main sunia tussi geet vi kaafi vadiya likhda hai, yaar tainu shayari karan da shauq kis tarah paaya, saade kolon ta ikk line vi likhi nai jaadi."

"Yaar, ladi, jado koi dil vich khyaal aunde ne, ta apne aap hi kalam kagaz te challan lag pendi hai," Baljinder ne kaha.

"Nahi Baljinder, kalam challan di koi na koi wajah jaroor hundi hai. Saade parivaar nu tere pind aaye nu ikk saal ho gaya hai. Main kade vi tainu hassde hoya nahi vekhiya, mainu kise to pata lagga hai ki tere naal bahut kujh vaapriya hai par ajj tak tu kise nu dil di gal nahi dassi ki akheer tere naal hoya ki hai. Yaar, ki tu mainu aine kaabil nahi samajhda ki apne dil di gal dass sake?"

"Yaar, ladi, ki dassa, kujh dassan laii hove ta dassa."

"Main nahi jaan da, jiss pyaar nu tu saari duniya to chhupaayi firda hai, tainu tere usi pyaar di sahat lagge, je ajj mainu apni kahani na dassi ta," Baljinder ne kaha.

"Yaar ladi, tu ta meri kahani sun ke chala jaavega, par mainu pichhliyaan yaadan chhonh ke kai din tadhpna pena hai. Fir vi je tu sunna chahunda hai, ta chal is mehfil to door kithhe iklaate baith ke dukh-sukh saanjhe kar de haan."

Phir dono jaane dusriyan mudiyan to door ek ikath thaa te ja baith gaye. Thoda chir chup rehne to baad, Baljinder boliya, "Gal koi ajj to 6 saal pehla di hai, udon main padhta hunda si, bada mast malang, pyaar-mohabbat to anjaan, ghar de truck hon kar ke gaddiyan te baahar ja ke ghoomna firna da shaukeen si. Mainu changi tarah yaad hai, us din ehho jeha hi mosam si, ik January da din si. Main us din savere utthiya te yaara dostan nu nave saal diyaan vadhaiyan ditta-ditta kise dost de ghar chala gaya, uthe kaafi chir baithan to baad achanak hi bass adday wal chala gaya. Mere bass adday te khadi ik mini bass aa ruki, jiss vichon saadi guaadi jo do dinan to kise rishtedaar kol gayi si, bass vichon uttri, ohde naal ikk patli, lambi, ate hadon vadh sohni khoobsurat pariyaa vargi mutiaar vi bass vicho uttri, ohna doha kol kaafi samaan si. Saadi guaadi ne mainu bass adday te khadi nu vekh ke awaaz maari ki Baljinder, saade kol samaan jyada hai is lai kujh samaan saade naal ghar tak chhad aa, main ohna da kujh samaan vich phadhia te kahli kahli ohna de agge lag ke tur pya, samaan guaadiyan de ghar rakh ke bina ruke, apne ghar chala aaya.

Saade ate guaadiyan de ghar vich bilkul chhoti jahi deewar si, jo na hoya wargi si. Vadhere mil-vartan karke saara-saara din ikatthe hi baithay raahde si. Baad vich puchhan te pata lagga ke us kuddi da naam Harjeet hai te us ne do teen mahine ithe hi rehna hai. Us kuddi de bholepan ate masoom jihe chehre ne ikk do dinan vich saareya da man moh liya. Saara din akkha saamne rahin karke main vi uss prati khichaa jaan lag pya. Main jado vi kise na kise bahane us nu bulauda ta, us ne neeve paa ke haan naa vich jawab de dindi. Us di ehho jahi masoomiyat hi mainu ohde prati hor khichan lag pyi, main sochhan lag pya ki je ehho jehi masoom kuddi de dil vich thodi jahi jagah mil jave ta main khushnaseeb hovaga.

Fir main apne sukhbaah mutabiq aina jyada sararta karan lag pya ki oh mallo malli meriyaa sarartaa vekh ke hass paidi, us de bulla te hasa vekh mera vi dil khush ho jaada. Sahje sahje oh vi mere prati kujh moh jiha rakhhan lag pyi, paanch satt dinan vich oh hi asi ik duje prati khiche chale gaye. Pata hi na lagga kadho eh khich pyaar vich tabdeel ho gayi. Mainu ajj vi yaad hai saadi dosti magro ikalliya di pehli mulaqat hoi, saami 8 vaje da time si."

यहां आपकी पंजाबी कहानी का हिंदी रूपांतरण रोमन लिपि में किया गया है, ताकि हिंदी बोलने वाले पाठक इसे आसानी से पढ़ सकें:
Main keha, "Vekh Harjeet, pata nahi kadon main tainu pyaar karan lag pya, tere baare ta pata nahi, par hun main tere to bagair ikk din vi nahi katt sakda."

Ta agge Harjeet boli, "Pyaar baare ta mainu pata nahi, par jado tak tu padh ke nahi aa janda, mera ghare jee nahi lagda."

Phir ki si, saadiyaan nit diyaan mulaakataan hon lag pyiyaan. Mera ta aalam eh si ki main college to jaldi ghar aa janda, padhai vich bilkul vi dil nahi lagda, jee karda si bas saara din uss val vekhda rehnda. Uss kamli di haalat vi kujh mere wargi ho gayi si. Uss diyan nigahaan saara din mainu hi dholdiyaan rahidiyaan san.

Uss nu ithe aayi nu mashah pandrah kujh din ho gaye san, ki saanu inj jaapan lag pya si ki jivein saadi pichhle kai janma di saanjh hove. Main ta chahunda si ki duniya bas ithe hi khul jave, mainu ta jivein uss de pyaar ne paagal hi kar ditta hove. Uss di haalat vi kujh isse tarah di si.

Main har roj raat nu uss di udiik karni, sardi da mosam si, kai vaar uss nu aundey vich deri ho jaandi si. Par main thand vich uss di udiik karda rehnda si. Ik din main uss nu keha, "Harjeet, ki tu mainu apni khushi naal milan aundi hai, ya aiwe is dosti nu nibhaun khaatir?"

Ta Harjeet boli, "Vekh Baljinder, je main raat de 10 vaje tere kol aundi haan, ta bas teri khaatir, kyunki saada rishta paak hai, asi koi paap nahi kita, pyaar kita hai, oh vi sachhe dilon. Baaki Baljinder, main tere te itbaar bahut kardi haan ki tu kadey vi mere naal galat harkat nahi karega. Baaki tu vi jaanda hai ki jismay de rishtay naal dilaan de rishtay jyada majboot hunde ne."

Baaki yaar, gal vi kujh isse tarah di si, saada pyaar Heer Ranjha waag paak pavitar ate kore kagaz wargaa si. Asi milde ta bhavey roj raat nu hi si, par saadi milani vich bahut farq hunda si. Bas hatha vich hath phad ke galla karde rehnde si, main uss de hatha to bina kadey vi uss de jism nu chhoya takk nahi si. Naale Harjeet da vi kehna si ki je tu mainu dilo chahunda hai ta kadey vi mere val kise galat nigah naal na takki, bas uss di ehho paak soch ate masoomiyat mainu ohde prati hor khichdi jaandi si.

Ik raat di gall hai, us din Shaniwaar si. Raat TV te koi Hindi film aa rahi si. Har ek ikk ghante baad mukh khabara aaudiyan san. Meri mulaqat uss naal 9:30 vaje hoyi, main keha ki 10:30 vaje khabara wale milaygi, ta uss ne keha theek hai. Phir 10:30 vaje oh mainu milan aa gayi. Us din main uss di parakh lain waaste keha, "Harjeet, main 11:30 vaje fir teri udiik karanga." Ta agge Harjeet boli, "Nahi Baljinder, hun nahi, is tarah vaar-vaar andaroo uddiya kise nu sakk ho jaavega." Par main keha, "Harjeet, tu chahe aaye, chahe na aaye, par main teri udiik karanga."

Phir ikk ghante baad main 11:30 vaje andaroo baahar aa ke uss di udiik karan lag pya. Sardi bahut lag rahi si, par uss nu milan di khich dil vich si, udiikdian-uudiikdian 12:00 vaj gaye. Phir kithe jaa ke uss da darwaza khulya te oh baahar nikli te sahje jahe meri gall nu plosdiya keha, "Baljinder, eh ki paagalpan hai? Main tainu keha si na ki main nahi auna, tu fir vi meri udiik karda rehnda riha."

Agge main keha, "Je nahi si auna ta hun ki aaye?" Uss boli, "Mainu pata si ki tu kamla thand vich vi baitha meri udiik karega. Baljinder, je tu ehni thand vich meri baahar udiik karega, te ki main andar rajaai vich nighi ho ke so sakdi haan. Baljinder, ehna jiyaada pyaar na kar ke kithe vichhadh ke mar hi na jaiye."

Main keha, "Harjeet, main ta chahunda hi haan ki tere to vichhaddan to pehla Rab mainu maut de deve."

Yaar, pyaar vich divana hoya, main apni padhai wal vi dhyan nahi si de riha. Bas saara din Harjeet baare hi sochda rehnda, par saade is pyaar to saade ghar waale be-khabar si. Dine kadey asi saare ikkatthe baithay rehnde si, saariyan de vich baithay main te Harjeet kai vaar aam vihaari galla kar jande si, par saade parivaar walya nu kadey saade te sakk nahi hoya si.

Harjeet nu ithe aayi nu mashah koi 24-25 din ho gaye san, jive Rab nu kujh hor hi manjoor si. Us din Shaniwaar di raat si, har vaar di tarah ohhi time si saade milan da. Aaj raat jado Harjeet milan aayi, ta asi hatha vich hath phad ke galla kar rahe si ki achanak hi pichhe saada guaadi aa gaya. Asi chup-chaap khadey rahe, oh nedey aaya ta boli, "Chal Harjeet andar chal, ate mainu keha hun tu vi ja." Par main usnu keha, "Ki tusi jo bura bhala mainu kehna hai, koi shaja deni hai ta mainu de deo, par Harjeet nu kujh na kehna."

Uss bina kujh boli andar chal gaya.

Here's the romanized Hindi version of the provided Punjabi text. I’ve taken care to ensure it's understandable for Hindi-speaking readers in India:
Agle din, itwaar tha. Main dar raha tha ki pata nahi ab kya hoga. Main subah uthaa toh saamne Harjeet chaah bana rahi thi, uske chehre ka rang uda hua tha aur woh sahmi si dikhi ja rahi thi. Meri aankhon se nazar milayi toh woh aur bhi bhaavuk ho gayi. Main ishare se usse hausla rakhne ke liye kaha. Mujhe bas yeh dar tha ki kahi humara guaadi sabko raat ke baare mein na bata de. Main soch raha tha jo hoga dekha jaayega, lekin main Harjeet par ilzaam nahi aane dena chahta tha.

Lekin kuch nahi hua, poora din aise hi beet gaya, koi baat cheet nahi hui. Dheere dheere 2-3 din guzar gaye, lekin kis se bhi koi baat nahi hui. Harjeet se bhi koi baat nahi ho payi, woh thodi zyada hi dar gayi thi. Phir choutha din, achanak humari mulaqat hui. Usne bataya ki na toh usse kuch bura bhala kaha gaya aur na hi kuch poocha gaya. Main ne kaha, "Harjeet, ab tera kya vichar hai?" Toh woh boli, "Jitni der yahaan thi, utni der toh milti rahi. Par ab lagta hai ki inhe mujhe yahaan jaldi bhej dena hai."

Main ne kaha, "Harjeet, jaan se pehle mujhe thoda sa zeher de de." Toh usne mere muh par haath rakh diya.

Ab hum phir se pehle jaise milna shuru kar diye the. Par saath hi, mujhe uske bichhadne ka dar bhi badh gaya tha. Karte karte shaniwaar aa gaya. Main time ke mutaabiq 10:30 ko bahar nikla, toh mujhe apni guaadi doodh garam karte dikhayi di. Main jab bahar se wapas andar ja raha tha, toh meri guaadi ne mujhe awaaz maar kar kaha, "Baljinder meri baat sun ke jaana." Jab main unke kamre ke paas gaya, toh unke kamre mein Harjeet, humara guaadi aur unke bacche film dekh rahe the. Main ek pal ke liye unke kamre mein gaya, toh Harjeet mere taraf dekhti hui muskaraayi.

Main dusre pal hi bahar guaadi ke saath baith gaya aur poocha, "Batao kya kaam hai?" Toh guaadi boli, "Baljinder ek baat poochna hai, agar sach sach bata de."

Main kuch der chup raha, phir bola, "Main kuch jhoot nahi bolunga." Fir maine apni saari pyaar bhari kahani unhe bata di aur saath hi main haath jod kar kaha, "Main Harjeet bina jeevit nahi reh sakta, dekhio kahi mere se usse bichhadna na de." Yeh keh kar meri aankhon se aansu nikal aaye. Phir main aankhen pochta hua chup chap apne ghar aa gaya.

Saari raat meri soch mein guzar gayi. Ab mujhe yakeen ho gaya tha ki unhone Harjeet ko uske pind bhej dena hai. Agle din main saara din ek geet baar baar mod ke deck mein lagaata raha:
"Jhala dil phir masa moh jiya tikau,
Je aadat hunne to ehnu paavange,
Holi holi sikh leiye door door rahina,
Ik dam vichhre ta marr jaavange."

Woh bhi mere is geet ko achhe se samajh rahi thi, par ab woh bhi majboor si lag rahi thi.

Usi din shaam ko mera bada bhai truck le ke ghar aa gaya aur usne kaha ki kal thodi door itihasik gurudware mein mattha tekan jaana hai. Agle din subah tadke chaar baje hum aur humari guaadi gurudwara Sahib ki aur nikal gaye. Gurudwara Sahib pahuch kar main aur Harjeet ne jab ek saath mattha tekha, toh maine sachche Paathshah ke aage ardaas ki, "Hey Maalka, hum dono ek dusre se bahut pyaar karte hain, tu hum par kripa kar de, hum kabhi bhi bichhde na, dekhio, kahan do roohon ko bichhoda na de."

Wapas aate waqt main dukaan se ek mundri khareedi aur gurudware mein Harjeet ke haath mein rakh di. Harjeet ne khush hoke mundri haath mein le li aur saare raste mein baar baar us mundri ko chhumi. Uske is bhulapan ko dekh ke mujhe kuch der toh sukoon mil jaata, lekin agle hi pal usse bichhadne ka dar zyada badh gaya.

Phir yaar, jise Rab ko manzoor tha. Shaayad 29 January ki baat thi, mere bade veer ne kaha ki main unke saath gaadi le ke Haryana tak chalu. Pehle toh main inkaar kar diya, lekin unke baar baar kehne par main jaane ke liye tayaar ho gaya. Gaadi lagle sheher se bharni thi. Jab main apne kapde lene ghar aaya toh mujhe Harjeet ghar akeli dikhi. Main uske paas gaya aur kaha, "Harjeet, mujhe do din ke liye gaadi ke saath bahar jaana padhega." Toh Harjeet boli, "Tu do din ke liye chala jayega, aur shaayad pichhe mere ghar se mujhe lene aa jayega." Unhone mujhe khadane ke liye humare ghar phone kar diya hai, lekin shaayad abhi do teen din aur lag jayenge."

Yeh sun kar toh jese meri jaan hi nikal gayi ho, maine kaha, "Harjeet, Rab na kare agar tu chali gayi toh main toh jeete ji mar jaaunga." Woh boli, "Baljinder, main kahan tere se bichhad ke jeev paungi. Main toh apni saari zindagi teri ban ke rehna chahti hoon, par Rab aur jhag mein humara milan nahi hone dena. Tera bichhoda meri maut se kam nahi hoga."

Dusre taraf mera toh jese rona hi nikal gaya ho, maine Harjeet ka haath pakad ke kaha, "Harjeet, shaayad phir kabhi akela milna na ho. Main tujhe jaan se zyada pyaar karta hoon. Kamliye, mujhe toh tere bina duniya udaas dikhayi degi, tere bina kis aur ko dekhoonga, kis asre jeevunga, main tere bina rula jaunga."

Ab Harjeet ki aankhon mein bhi aansu aa gaye aur boli, "Baljinder, apna haath mere sir par rakh ke sach ke vachan de, agar hum bichhde bhi, toh tu mere gham mein kabhi sharab nahi piyege. Tu sharab toh pehle bhi nahi peeta, lekin ek vaada kar, mere baad bhi kabhi sharab nahi piyege. Dekhio, kabhi mere sachhe pyaar aur paak muhabbat ko badnaam na karna."

Aur usne mera haath apne sir par rakh ke kaha, "Vachan kar, Baljinder, vachan kar." Main keh raha tha, "Harjeet, main teri vachan khata hoon, sharab toh kya, kabhi kisi bhi nashe ka mooh nahi lagaoonga."

Phir kisi ke aane ki awaaz sun kar main wapas apne ghar aa gaya. Harjeet saamne khadi thi, mujhe tayar hote hue dekh rahi thi. Uska chehra uda tha, lekin aankhen keh rahi thi, "Baljinder, na jaa."

Main bhi dil pe pathar rakh ke jaana chahta tha, aur jaane laga. Usne mere taraf haath hilaya, jaise mujhe alvida keh rahi ho.

Bas yaar, phir main gaadi se Haryana chala gaya. Wahan jaake agle din humari gaadi khaali na thi. Maine apne ghar se phone kiya aur kaha ki hum kal wapas aa jayenge. Agle din bhi gaadi khaali ho gayi thi, raat ko 1 baje ghar pahunche. Saare soye hue the. Maine apne soye hue bhai ko uthaya aur Harjeet ke baare mein poocha, toh usse pata chala ki Harjeet ki mummy use lene aayi hui thi, aur aaj raat woh dono pind mein kisi dusre ristedaar ke ghar gaye the.

Subah hote hi main unke ristedaar ke ghar ki aur nikal pada. Unka ghar langhte hue mujhe Harjeet nazar aayi, toh mujhe phir jaake sukoon mil gaya.

Fir main kisi kaam ke liye khet chala gaya. Khet se hi mujhe Harjeet aur uski mummy unke ristedaar ke ghar se nikalte dikhayi diye. Main khet se sidha apne ghar ke darwaze tak dauda. Ghar ke andar gaya toh saamne Harjeet aur uski mummy nazar aayi. Pehchaan hone par maine uski mummy ko Fateh bulaaya.

Fateh bulaate hue mujhe ehsaas hua ki unhone jaana tayar kar diya tha. Harjeet se nazar mili toh woh bhi majboor aur udaas si dikhayi di. Main chup chaap ghar aa gaya aur aate hi deck par uchhi awaaz mein geet laga diya:
"Pradesi - pradesi jaana nahi, mujhse chhod ke, mujhse chhod ke,
Pradesi mere yaara vaada nibhaana,
Mujhe yaad rakhna, kahi bhool na jaana,
Pradesi - pradesi jaana nahi, mujhse chhod ke, mujhse chhod ke."

Main ikko geet hi baar-baar laga riha si, Harjeet di tayyari hundi vekh ke mera bura haal ho riha si, mera jiya karda si main uche-uche rova, meri aankhan vicho hanjhoo mallo malli jhalak rahe si.
Ujh Harjeet di aankhan vi bhariyan san par woh majboor si, main Harjeet naal ik baar ikkali naal gall karna chaahunda si.

Phir jive Rab di kirpa hoi, saadi guaadi te Harjeet di mammi pind vicho doctor to dawaai lain chali gayi, Harjeet ikkali japi ta main sidha uske kamre vich chala gaya.
Us din pehli vaar Harjeet mere gall lag ke royi, main vi raj-raj ke roya. Phir main kuch sabar kardia keha ki Harjeet hun kado milegi ta woh boli,
"Baljinder, hun main ta dubara tuhade pind nahi aa sakdi, ki tu mainu milan sade pind nahi aa sakda?"
Harjeet, "Main ta tere lai jaan vi haazir hai, par main tere pind ki bahana laa ke aawanga. Par main vaada karda haan ki jive marji hove main tainu milan tere pind zaroor aawanga, naale Harjeet, hun main apne ghar diya naal tere rishte di gall vi karanga, Rab di mehr rahi ta tainu isse ghar vich viyah ke laawanga."

Woh boli, "Baljinder, je is tarah ho jaave ta mainu hor ki chahida hai, Baljinder tu apne ghar diya nu mana te mere ghar diya di mere te chhadd de, main aape ohna nu mana lawaangi."
Harjeet, "Theek hai, tu apne ghar diya nu mana lai, te main apneyan nu manawaanga."

Aje asi galla hi kar rahe si ki baahar kise de aune di awaaz aayi. Main keha, "Changa Harjeet, hosla rakh, main tainu milan zaroor aawanga, je ho sake ta kadi phone zaroor kar devi."
Te fir main Harjeet da hath chumiya te bhare mann naal Harjeet to vakh ho ke apne ghar val tur pya.
Munnu ohna de kamre vicho nikaldiya Harjeet di bas enni hi awaaz suni, "Baljinder, ik vari milan zaroor aawi, main teri udeek karangi."
Main ik pal pichhe murh ke hath de ishare naal haan vich haan mila ditti. Main sidha apne ghar aa gaya, Harjeet naal bhaave do chaar galla kar chukka si par mann aje vi nahi si bharya.

Dooje paasay Harjeet te uski mammi jaan layi bilkul tayaar si.
Achanak use hi time mere vadday bhra da lagle sheher to phone aa gaya ki asi gaadi bhar rahe haan, saanu roti de ja.
Ghar diya to puchiya ta roti tayaar si, main sochiya roti gaadi vich phadake Harjeet nu jaddi vari sheher bazaar vich mil lawaanga.
Main Harjeet hon na to pehla sheher chala gaya te roti gaadi vich phadake mudd bazaar vich apne pind wale road te aa gaya te sochiya ki Harjeet bas vicho utregi ta jaddi vaar us nu vekh lawaanga.

Par yaar Rab ne meri asaa te paani pher ditta, main 10 baje to lai ke shaam 4 baje takk saara bazaar follow maaria par Harjeet mainu kithe na nazar aayi, mere pind vallo bassaa aundiya rahiyaan par kise vi bass vicho Harjeet na uttri.
Yaar mera bura haal ho riha si, aankhan vicho hanjhoo mallo malli dig rahe si, yaar do farwari da eh din mere lai kiyaamat wala din si.
Main shaam 5 baje tutay hoye dil na wapas ghar aa gaya ta Harjeet gharo apne pind ja chukki si.
Main chup-chaap apne kamre vich baith gaya. Saara ghar mainu vadd-vadd kha riha si, jiya karda si ro-ro dil hola kar lawa. Meri udaasi vekh ke ghar diya ne puchiya ta main bukhaar hon da bahana laga ditta.

Sach dassa yaar us din jo mere te guzri rahi si oh ja ta main janda hi ja mera Rab, jiya karda si kaddha naal takkra maar-maar ke jaan de deva.
Guaadiya ghare vekhda ta dil nu hol jihe painde si. Baar-baar Harjeet de bhulekhe pa rahe si, Harjeet da pyaar mere shaaha vich wass chukka si, main us bina aap aap nu adhoora jiha lagda si.
Dil karda si, main ud ke Harjeet kol chala jaawa.

Yaar mera bura haal ho riha si, aankhan vicho hanjhoo rukhan da na nahi si lay riha. Use time meri guaadi kisi kam nu mere mere vich aayi, par meri aankhan de udaas chehre vekh ke mainu bina bulaaya chup-chaap baahar chali gayi, shaayad woh meri halat samajh gayi si, kyunki meri is halat di kuch hadd tak zimmedar woh vi si.

Yaar us raat jo haal mera si, bas kuch puch na. Aankhan vicho hanjhoo ruk nahi si rahe, ik pal ta main sochiya is ikkali zindagi naal mar jaana changa hai, par use time mere chachay da munda Harman mere kol aa gaya, us nu mere te Harjeet baare saari kahani baare pata si.
Us ne mainu hosla ditta keha, "Baljinder, koi aisa kam na kari ke saanu saare parivaar nu namoosi sehni pave, main teri halat samajhda haan, chall do ghut sharab de pee lai, sab kuch bhool jaavega."
Main keha, "Harman, mainu Harjeet ne sharab peen di sahu pai hoi hai, main sharab kive pee sakda haan."
Ta woh boliya, "Je tu Harjeet di sahu nahi tod sakda ta fir zindagi naal o naata kive tod lega. Meri gall man, himmat rakh, sahje-sahje sab kuch theek ho jaavega."

Us di gall man ke main aaram naal lambe pai gaya, par hanjhoo da har wagh wahin nahi si ruk rahe.
Main do-tinn din kamliya wagh guzare, ro-ro ke aankhan suja layiya.
Jad chaar din baad main college gaya ta mera udaas chehra vekh ke mera sab to kareebi dost boliya, "Lagda Baljinder, teri Harjeet chali gayi. Main chup si, woh kehnda lagga,
"Vekh yaar main janda haan ki tu Harjeet nu bahut pyaar karda hai. Par ki tu kade sochiya hai teri is halat da teri padhai te ki asar pavega? Kuch dina nu paper suru ho rahe han, hun kuch dhyan padhai wal vi de."

Main keha, "Theek hai yaar, par saare dost mere naal wadda karo ke kadi vi koi mere kolon Harjeet baare nahi puchhoge."
Ta saariya ne haan vich sir hila ditta.

Hun khud vi main padhai wal dhyan dena suru kar ditta. Par jhalla dil jado kade jyaada hi tadhpda ta kheta vich ja ke ikkali baith ke ro lainda te mann hola kar lainda.
Kuch dina baad mere papers ho gaye te main changay number laake pass ho gaya te agli class vich daakhla le liya.
Yaar mere naal kudiya ta bahut padhdiyaan san, par main kade kise kudi wal aankh put ke nahi vekhda, mere naal de pind di ik kudi jo mere naal hi padhdi si, shaayad mainu kaafi pasand kardi si, par us kamli nu ki pata si ke eh kamla ta pehla hi kise de pyaar vich lutia pya hai.

Ik din jad us kudi ne kise hor kudi raahi mainu message bhejya ta main us nu ikkali mil ke apni te Harjeet di saari kahani dass ditti te us da pyaar na kaboolan di wajah dass ke ma

afi mangde hoye keha ki main sirf tera changa dost ban ke rahe sakda haan, par tera pyaar nahi. Kyunki Harjeet hi meri aakhri manzil hai.

Woh kudi vi kaafi siyaani si, jo meri saari kahani sun ke khushi-khushi uth ke chali gayi.

Akheer ikk din mainu Harjeet de viyah di khabar mili jo November vich rakhya gaya si, viyah vich aje takreeban maheena rehda si. Main sochya Harjeet ne chahe mere naal changa nahi kita, par main us nu milan da apna vaada poora nibhavanga. Harjeet layi aje vi dil tadhpda si. Main viyah to pehla ikk vaar us nu milna zaroor chaahunda si. Main apne ikk dost nu apne naal Harjeet de pind us nu milan layi jaan layi tayaar kar liya. Ghar vich fauj di bharti vekhan da bahana laa ke asi Harjeet de pind val tur pye. Harjeet da pind sade pind to koi 95 km di doori te si, sardiya de din san.
Asi dupahre vele tak us de pind de naal de shehar pahunch gaye ate shaam hon di udeek karan lag pye. Shaam nu Harjeet de pind wali aakhri bas phad ke us de pind pahunch gaye, kise unhan de ghar da pata puch ke asi unhan da darwaja ja khadakaya.
Main agge si te mera dost mere piche, mera dil thak-thak kar riha si, andaroon awaaz aayi "Kaun aa? Ruk jao, darwaja kholde aa."
Kismat de rang vekho, darwaja kholne wala koi hor nahi balki Harjeet hi si. 9-10 maheeni baad Harjeet nu ikk dum apne samne vekh ke dil tadhp jiya pya.
Harjeet vi jive koi supna vekh rahi hove, chup-chaap darwaja agge khadi, udon tabki jadon main keha "Jaane ki haal chaal hai?"
Woh boli, "Theek thaak aa, tusi dasso, aa jao andar, lag jao."
Main keha, "Harjeet, main sirf ithe tainu milan aaya haan, ikk vaar ikalli mil zaroor lavi."
Woh khamosh hoi, agge tur pyi, piche piche asi tur pye. Harjeet de parivaar nu milan to baad asi dassiya ki tuhade naal de shehar fauj di bharti vekhan aaye si, hanera ho gaya, sochiya wapas te jaana nahi jaana, is layi ithe aa gaye.
Woh bole, "Eh tuhadda apna ghar hai, changa kita tusi ithe aa gaye."

Harjeet de ghar vich Harjeet to ilawa usdi mammi-daddy ate ikk chhoti bhain ate chhota bhra si. Raat di roti tayaar ho rahi si, Harjeet di nigah vaar-whaar mere naal mil rahi si.
Jado Harjeet chaukay vich baithi sade layi roti paka rahi si ta saariya to akh bacha ke mere agge haath jod ditta.
Main samajh gaya ki Harjeet apni majboori darsa rahi hai, main vi khamosh nigah naal us nu hosla rakhne layi keha.
Aaj main Harjeet nu raj ke vekhna chaahunda si, meri nazar sirf Harjeet te hi si. Harjeet di aankhan vich mere prati wohi pehla wali khich si, par naal hi woh apni majboori vi dikhayi de rahi si.
Rotiyaan pakaun to baad Harjeet vi apni mammi de naal saanu rotiyaan khwawan lag pyi, roti ta mainu agge wadh-wadh ke kari si, par main eh soch ke do-tinn rotiyaan kha liya ki Harjeet de haath diyaan pakiyaan rotiyaan shayad zindagi vich dobaara khan da moka na mile.

Kismat de sabab naal aaj vi Shanivaar da din si, raat nu sade manjay barade vich daah ditta, sade naal hi Harjeet de daddy da manjay vi barade vich si. Harjeet baaki parivaar naal andar kamre vich TV te film laake baith gayi.
Main sochya mana je Harjeet aaj vi mainu pyaar kardi hovegi te aaj raat film doran saade das vaje bahar zaroor niklegi.
Theek saade das vaje Harjeet bhooha kol ke bahar nikli. Mera dil kita ki main uth ke Harjeet nu ja ke mila, par sade kol pya us da daddy aje guri neend vich nahi si suta, is layi main bistare te hi leteya riha.
Harjeet kuch chir mera itzaar karan to baad andar aa gayi.
Phir main saari raat jaagda riha, Harjeet ikk vaar saade 12 vaje bahar nikli ta piche usdi mammi vi bahar nikl aayi.
Main phir chup-chaap lambe pya riha.
Murr Harjeet bahar na nikli.
Main savere tardke to hi jaag riha si. 5 ku vaje usdi mammi bahar nikli chaah paani tayaar karan layi, takreeban 6 ku vaje jado Harjeet andaroon bahar nikli ta dil nu thoda sukoon milia.
Thode chir baad usde mammi daddy manjha chon layi haweli chale gaye, ta main manjay te uth ke baith gaya. Hun Harjeet ate usdi chhoti bhain hi ghare si.
Pehla ta mera jiha kita ki main Harjeet de gal lag ke raj-raj ke rova, par main sirf Harjeet val vekhda hi riha.
Jadon meri aankhan vicho hanjhoo digne suru ho gaye ta Harjeet mere kol aa ke kehne laggi,
"Baljinder, Rabb da vaasta, eh bhul ja hun mainu, main te apne ghar kisey raahi tere mere rishte di gall chalaayi si, par mere daddy ne pehla hi mere rishte di haan meri bhua nu kiti hoyi si, ohna ne meri ikk nahi mani.
Baljinder, mainu maaf kari, main apna vaada poora nahi kar sakki."
Main keha, "Harjeet, mar sakda haan par tainu bhul nahi sakda, main teri majboori samajhda haan, main tainu be-wafa nahi kehnda, shayad tu meri kismat vich hi nahi si likhi, shayad mere pyaar vich hi koi kami reh gayi si jo Rabb ne mere kolon tainu kho leya."
Harjeet boli, "Baljinder, aida na keh, tere pyaar vich koi kami nahi si, sago main hi vaadiya to jhoothi pya gayi haan."
Phir Harjeet ne mera haath phad liya te boli,
"Baljinder, je tu mera saath deve ta aapa do-veh jaane, mere viyah to pehla-pehla itho kithe door chale jaaiye, jithe sanu koi jaanada na hove."
Main holi jahi usdi gall plosdiya hoya keha, "Kamliye kartha na, kamliya wali, main edda vadda daag apne te tere maa-piu de mathe te kadhe nahi laga sakda. Main tainu pyaar kita hai, main tere bina ikalla tadhp-tadhp ke mar sakda haan par kadhe vi apne pyaar ate tere mere maapia nu badnaam nahi kar sakda.
Je tu mainu is janam vich nahi mili ta agle janam vich zaroor paa lawaanga."
Aene chir nu baharo koi aa giya, thode chir picho Harjeet ne andar ja ke deck vich geet laga ditta jiss de bol san.

"Bhul jaai mera pyaar, teri main ho na sakki"
Hun main samajh gaya si ki eh viyah Harjeet di marzi nahi majboori si. Par dil ta aakhir dil hai, is nu kon samjhave?
Phir yaar, asi roti khadi te 10 ku vaje apne pind aan layi tayar hon lag pye. Aaj main Harjeet nu aakhri vaar raj-raj ke vekhna chaahunda si, hun mere chehre te udaasi vadh rahi si, aankhan mallo malli bhar rahi san.
Hun sanu na chaahudiya hoya vi turna pya, main gali muddiya aakhri vaar Harjeet val vekhya ta woh vi udaas si.
Main tutte dil te patthar dhardiya hoya aakhir pind nu wapas mud aa gaya, saare raste aankhan vicho hanjoo digde rahe.
Mainu inj lag rhea si jive meri rooh othe hi reh gayi hove.

Pind bas to utre te mere dost ne keha apna chehra paani naal dho le, tere utariya chehre vekh ke ave ghar de sawaal karde firange ki tainu ki hoya.
Main pind de adday to nalke to mooh dho ke sidha ghar aa gaya.
Kuch chir pichho meri guadain mere kamre vich aayi ta mera udaas chehra vekh ke boli, "Harjeet mili si? Ki haal hai ohda?"
Main keha, "Theek hai, khush hai, viyah di tayari kar rahi hai." Ta oh boli, "Baljinder, ik gall aakha bhul ja hun, Harjeet nu hun kuch apne baare vi soch."

Takreeban pandra-vee din baad Harjeet da viyah si, main is sachai to samna karan to dar da si.
Is layi main college walon NCC da camp attend karan layi Adhra Pradesh chala gaya.
Uthe vi Harjeet de saaye ne mera saath na chhaddia, yaara dostiyaan di mehfilan vich vi baith ke vi tanhaiyaan de jashan hi manauda riha.
Mehrbani mere unna dostiyaan di jinha ne mere aukhe vele mainu khush rakhne di had to wadh kosis karte rahe.
Par dil ta dil si main camp khatam hon to baad vi khud apne ghar wapas aund to dar da si, is layi paanch din baad ghar late pahuncha.
Aundiya Harjeet da viyah ho chukka si, meri duniya ujjad chuki si.

Hun main khud vi Harjeet nu bhul jaana chaahunda si, par jhalla dil nahi bhulda.
Hun ta main bas Harjeet di khushi hi lochda si.
Takreeban do mahine baad Harjeet apni mummy naal mud saade pind aayi.
Main kheto ghar aaya ta Harjeet nu guadiyan ghar vekh dil khush ho gaya, par usde haath vich chooda vekhya ta meri jaan hi nikal gayi.
Main aje vi Harjeet de viyah di sachai to dar da si, isse dar da maariya main chup-chaap bina Harjeet nu miliya apne kise ristedaar kol chala gaya.
Yaar main badi kosis kiti.
