Character Introduction
Halima: Ek neik aur haseen larki, jo apne deen aur ilm se bohat mohabbat karti hai.
Orhan: Ek pur-sukoon shakhsiyat wala naujawan, jo tijarat (business) karta hai aur hamesha Sachai ki talaash mein rehta hai.
Scene 1: Purani Masjid ki Deewar
(Manzar: Asr ki namaz ke baad ka waqt hai. Halima Masjid ke bahar ek gareeb bache ko Quran parhna sikha rahi hai. Orhan wahan se guzarta hai.)
Orhan: (Apne dil mein) Subhan'Allah, kitni narmi hai inke lehje mein. Lagta hai jaise har lafz seedha dil se nikal raha hai.
(Bacha ghalti karta hai, Halima muskurati hai.)
Halima: Nahi beta, 'Qaf' ko thora pur (bold) karke parhein. Allah Ta'ala ko koshish karne wale bohat pasand hain.
Orhan: (Qareeb aakar, adab se) Assalamu Alaikum. Maaf kijiyega, kya aap bata sakti hain ke sheher ke mohtamim (administrator) ka daftar kahan hai?
Halima: (Nigahein neeche karke) Wa Alaikum Assalam. G, seedha ja kar bayein (left) mud jaiye. Wahan aapko daftar mil jayega.
Orhan: JazakAllah Khair. Aapka sikhane ka tareeqa dekh kar dil ko bara sukoon mila. Allah aapke ilm mein barkat de.
Scene 2: Rishte ki Baat
(Manzar: Halima ka ghar. Orhan apne walidain ke sath Halima ka hath mangne aaya hai. Mahoul mein thori sanjeedgi aur haya hai.)
Halima ke Walid: Orhan beta, humne suna hai aapka karobar kaafi phail chuka hai. Lekin meri beti ke liye sirf dunya ki kamyabi kaafi nahi.
Orhan: G bilkul, Main samajhta hoon. Main Halima ko sirf ek mahal (palace) nahi dena chahta, balki ek aisa ghar dena chahta hoon jahan Fajr ki azan par hum dono sath jagein aur Tahajjud mein ek dusre ke liye dua karein.
Halima: (Parde ke peeche se sunti hui, apne dil mein) Ya Allah, agar ye mere deen aur dunya ke liye behtar hai, to mere dil ko mutmain kar de.
Scene 3: Ek Nayi Shuruat
(Manzar: Nikah ke baad ka pehla din. Halima aur Orhan ek naye safar ka aghaz kar rahe hain.)
Orhan: Halima, aaj se hum sirf mian-biwi nahi, balki Jannah ke raahi (travellers) hain.
Halima: (Muskurate hue) Insha'Allah. Maine hamesha dua ki thi ke mujhe koi aisa mile jo mujhe mere Khaliq ke aur qareeb kar de.
Orhan: Maine suna tha ke "Dunya ki sab se behtareen mataa (property) ek neik aurat hai." Aaj mujhe yakeen aa gaya.
Halima: Aur maine suna tha ke "Behtareen mard wo hai jo apni ghar wali ke liye behtareen ho."
Orhan: Chalein phir? Maghrib ka waqt ho raha hai. Aaj ki namaz hum sath parhein ge, aur yehi hamari mohabbat ki pehli bunyad hogi.
