Haan, ay Khudawand, main iss duniya mein pardesi zaroor hoon, lekin tujh se begaana nahi. Meri woh tamaam fitri doori jo tujh se thi, tere fazl ne muassir taur par khatam kar di hai. Aur ab, teri rafaqat mein, main iss gunaah aalood duniya mein ek aise musafir ki tarah jeeta aur chalta hoon jo kisi pardes mein ho. Tu khud bhi apni hi banayi hui duniya mein ek ajnabi hai. Insaan tujhe bhool jata hai, teri be-hurmati karta hai, naye qawaneen aur begaana rasm-o-riwaaj qaaim karta hai, aur tujhe nahi pehchanta. Jab tera pyara Beta apne logon ke paas aaya, to uss ke apno ne hi usse qubool na kiya. Woh duniya mein tha, aur duniya bhi ussi ke waseela se paida hui thi, magar phir bhi duniya ne usse na pehchana. Kisi bhi mulk ke bashindon ke darmiyan koi pardesi itna ajeeb-o-ghareeb na tha jitna ke tera pyara Beta apne watan aur apne bhaiyon ke darmiyan ajnabi tha. Pas, iss mein koi tajub ki baat nahi agar main, jo Yeshu ki zindagi jeeta hoon, iss zameen par anjaan aur pardesi ban kar rahoon. Ay Khudawand, main uss watan ka shehri nahi banna chahta jahan Yeshu ek ajnabi tha. Uss ke chhede hue hathon ne unn rasiyon ko dheela kar diya hai jinhon ne kabhi meri rooh ko zameen se baandh rakha tha, aur ab main iss sar-zameen mein khud ko ek pardesi ke taur par dekhta aur mehsoos karta hoon. Meri guftagu inn Babliyon ko, jin ke darmiyan main basta hoon, ek ajnabi zabaan maloom hoti hai, mere taur tareeqe munfarid hain, aur mere kaam unn ke liye ajab hain. Ek Taatari kisi bhi gunahgaron ki basti ke muqable mein khud ko zyada sukoon mein mehsoos kare ga. Lekin mere naseeb ki mithas yeh hai ke main tere huzoor pardesi hoon yaani tu mera hamdard aur mera ham-safar musafir hai. Aah, aisi mubarak rafaqat mein reh kar do pardesiyon ka ek ajnabi sar-zameen par chalna phirna ek doosre ke liye kis qadar khushi aur khurmi ki baat hai! Jab tu raah mein mujh se kalaam karta hai to mera dil seene mein machalne lagta hai, aur agarche main ek pardesi hoon, main takht nasheenon se kahin zyada mubarak hoon, aur unn se kahin zyada apne ghar mein hoon jo apne faseeldar makanon mein baste hain.

Mere liye na koi jagah baaqi hai, na waqt,
Mera watan to har aab-o-hawa mein hai,
Main kisi bhi saahil par pur-sukoon aur be-fikr reh sakta hoon,
kyunki Khuda wahan maujood hai,
Jab hum jagah dhoondte hain, ya jagah se bhaagte hain,
to rooh kisi mein bhi khushi nahi paati,
Lekin raah dikhane ke liye agar Khuda saath ho,
to jaane ya theharne mein yaksaan khushi hai.

Yeh uss shakhs ki dua thi jo Khuda ke dil ke muwafiq tha. Kya Muqaddas Dawood ko aisi dua karne ki zaroorat thi? To phir hum jaise fazl ke farzandon ke liye aisi dua kis qadar zyada zaroori hogi! Yeh aisa hi hai jaise uss ne kaha ho ke "mujhe danista gunaahon se baaz rakh, warna main gunaah ki khaayi mein sar ke bal ja giroon ga". Hamari buri fitrat, ek bad-mizaaj aur ukhad ghode ki tarah, fauran sarpat bhaagne par tul jati hai. Dua yehi hai ke Khuda ka fazl iss par lagaam daale aur isse thaame rakhe taake yeh bad-kirdari mein na ja pade. Hum mein se behtareen insaan bhi kya kuch na kar guzarta agar Khudawand apni mashiyat aur fazl ke zariye hamein rok na leta! Zaboor nawis ki dua gunaah ki bad-tareen shakal ke khilaf hai yaani woh gunaah jo soch samajh kar aur jaan boojh kar kiya jaye. Yahan tak ke muqaddas tareen logon ko bhi ghaliz tareen khataon se baaz rehne ki zaroorat hoti hai. Yeh ek sanjeeda baat hai ke hum Paulous Rasool ki jaanib se bhi muqaddaseen ko aise ghinaone gunaahon ke khilaf khabardar karte hue dekhte hain. "Pas apne unn aaza ko murda karo jo zameen par hain yaani haramkari, napaaki, shahwat, buri khwahish aur laalach ko jo but-parasti ke barabar hai". Kya muqaddaseen ko aise gunaahon ke khilaf tanbeeh ki zaroorat hai? Jee haan, unhein zaroorat hai. Jab tak Ilahi fazl se pakeezgi ki hifazat na ki jaye, safed tareen libas bhi siyah tareen daagon se aalooda ho jaane ka ehtemaal rehta hai. Ay aazmooda Masihi! apne tajurbe par fakhr na kar. Agar tu ne ek lamhe ke liye bhi uss ki taraf se nazar hatai jo tujhe girne se bachane ki qudrat rakhta hai, to tu thokar kha jaye ga. Tu jinhein behad azeez rakhta hai, jin ka imaan mustaqil hai, jin ki umeedain roshan hain, yeh na kahein ke "hum kabhi gunaah nahi karein ge", balkay yeh iltija karte rahein ke "hamein aazmaish mein na la". Behtareen insaan ke dil mein bhi itna barood maujood hai ke uss se jahannum ki aag bharak uthe, jab tak ke Khuda unn chingariyon ko bujha na de. Kis ne socha tha ke raast baaz Loot nashe ki haalat mein aur napaaki mein paya jaye ga? Hazail ne kaha tha ke "tere khadim ki jo kutte ke barabar hai haqiqat hi kya hai jo aisi badi baat kare?" aur hum bhi aksar yehi khud-pasandana sawal karne ke aadi hain. Kaash Khuda ki la-muntahi hikmat hamein iss khud-etimadi ki deewangi se najaat ata kare.
