Walnut and Watermelon Summary & Translation in Punjabi
ਭਾਰਤ ਵਿਚ ਕਸ਼ਮੀਰ ਨੂੰ ਧਰਤੀ ਦਾ ਸਵਰਗ ਕਿਹਾ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ। ਬਹੁਤ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਉਥੇ ਰਹੀਮ ਨਾਂ ਦਾ ਲੜਕਾ ਰਹਿੰਦਾ ਸੀ। ਉਹ ਆਪਣੇ ਮਾਤਾ-ਪਿਤਾ ਦੇ ਨਾਲ ਰਹਿੰਦਾ ਸੀ। ਉਹ ਨਿਪੁੰਨ ਦਸਤਕਾਰ ਸੀ। ਉਹ ਸੁੰਦਰ ਕਾਲੀਨ ਬੁਣਦਾ ਸੀ ਅਤੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਵੇਚਦਾ ਸੀ।
ਇਕ ਦਿਨ ਰਹੀਮ ਅਤੇ ਉਸਦੇ ਪਿਤਾ ਸਵੇਰੇ ਛੇ ਵਜੇ ਸਵੇਰ ਦੀ ਸੈਰ ਦੇ ਲਈ ਗਏ। ਰਹੀਮ ਆਪਣੇ ਪਿਤਾ ਤੋਂ ਆਸ-ਪਾਸ ਦੀਆਂ ਵਸਤੂਆਂ (ਚੀਜ਼ਾਂ ਦੇ ਬਾਰੇ ਵਿਚ ਪੁੱਛ ਰਿਹਾ ਸੀ ਅਤੇ ਅੰਦਰ ਹੀ ਅੰਦਰ ਖ਼ੁਸ਼ ਹੋ ਰਿਹਾ ਸੀ। ਰਸਤੇ ਵਿਚ ਉਸਨੇ ਸੁੰਦਰ ਪਹਾੜ, ਹਰੇ-ਭਰੇ ਮੈਦਾਨ, ਚਰਦੀਆਂ ਹੋਈਆਂ ਗਾਵਾਂ ਅਤੇ ਇਕ ਛੋਟੇ ਜਿਹੇ ਤਾਲਾਬ। ਵਿਚ ਤੈਰਦੀਆਂ ਹੋਈਆਂ ਬਤਖਾਂ ਦੇਖੀਆਂ।
ਰਹੀਮ : ਪਿਤਾ ਜੀ, ਹੁਣ ਮੈਂ ਥੱਕ ਗਿਆ ਹਾਂ।
ਪਿਤਾ : ਅਸੀਂ ਆਰਾਮ ਕਰ ਸਕਦੇ ਹਾਂ। (ਉਹ ਦੋਵੇ ਇਕ ਛਾਂ-ਦਾਰ ਅਖ਼ਰੋਟ ਦੇ ਦਰੱਖਤ ਦੇ ਹੇਠਾਂ ਬੈਠ ਗਏ !) ਅਚਾਨਕ, ਰਹੀਮ ਦੀ ਨਜ਼ਰ ਨੇੜੇ ਕੋਲ ਦੇ ਖੇਤ ਵਿਚ ਉੱਗ ਰਹੇਂ ਬਹੁਤ ਵੱਡੇ ਤਰਬੂਜ਼ ‘ਤੇ ਪਈ ॥
ਰਹੀਮ : ਪਿਤਾ ਜੀ ਉਹ ਕਿਹੜਾ ਫ਼ਲ ਹੈ ?
ਪਿਤਾ : ਉਹ ਤਰਬੂਜ਼ ਹੈ। ਇਹ ਵੇਲ ‘ਤੇ ਉੱਗਦਾ ਹੈ।
ਰਹੀਮ : ਅਖਰੋਟ ਤਰਬੂਜ਼ ਤੋਂ ਬਹੁਤ ਛੋਟਾ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ, ਪਰੰਤੂ ਜ਼ਿਆਦਾ ਮਜ਼ਬੂਤ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ। ਮੈਂ ਹੈਰਾਨ ਹਾਂ ਕਿ ਪਰਮਾਤਮਾ ਨੇ ਇਸ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਕਿਉਂ ਕੀਤਾ।
ਪਿਤਾ : ਤੂੰ ਕੀ ਸੋਚਦਾ ਹੈ ?
ਰਹੀਮ : ਮੈਂ ਸੋਚਦਾ ਹਾਂ ਕਿ ਪਰਮਾਤਮਾ ਨੇ ਗਲਤੀ ਕੀਤੀ ਹੈ। ਅਖਰੋਟ ਨੂੰ ਵੇਲ ’ਤੇ ਅਤੇ ਤਰਬੂਜ਼ ਨੂੰ ਦਰੱਖਤ ‘ਤੇ ਉੱਗਣਾ ਚਾਹੀਦਾ ਸੀ।
ਪਿਤਾ : ਰਹੀਮ, ਕਦੀ ਵੀ ਪਰਮਾਤਮਾ ’ਤੇ ਸ਼ੱਕ ਨਾ ਕਰੋ। ਪਰਮਾਤਮਾ ਜੋ ਵੀ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ ਜਾਂ ਕੀਤਾ ਹੈ ਉਸਦਾ ਫ਼ੈਸਲਾ ਸਦਾ ਬੁੱਧੀਮਤਾ ਭਰਿਆ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ। (ਉਸੇ ਸਮੇਂ ਇਕ ਅਖਰੋਟ ਰਹੀਮ ਦੇ ਸਿਰ ‘ਤੇ ਆ ਡਿੱਗਿਆ ਅਤੇ ਉਸਦੇ ਸਿਰ ‘ਤੇ ਜਲਦੀ ਨਾਲ ਟਕਰਾਇਆ)
ਰਹੀਮ : ਹਾਏ ! ਹੁਣ ਮੇਰੀ ਸਮਝ ਵਿਚ ਆਇਆ। ਮੈਂ ਖੁਸ਼ ਹਾਂ ਕਿ ਦਰੱਖ਼ਤ ‘ਤੇ ਅਖਰੋਟ ਉੱਗਦੇ ਹਨ, ਨਾ ਕਿ ਤਰਬੂਜ਼। ਸਰਵਸ਼ਕਤੀਮਾਨ ਪਰਮਾਤਮਾ ਅਸਲ ਵਿਚ ਹੀ ਬਹੁਤ ਬੁੱਧੀਮਾਨ ਹੈ।
