चलना ही होगा


भ्रमित चिंतित हो या विचलित,
ज़िन्दगी  के इस डगर पे,
चलना ही होगा ए मुसाफिर

धूल मिट्टी और कंकड़,
राह  में कांटे भी होंगे,
चाहे हस के चाहे रो के,
सहना ही होगा ए  मुसाफिर

मीत प्रीत और उपवन,
राह में  मुस्कानें भी होंगी,
दो घड़ी आराम करके,
उठना ही होगा ए मुसाफिर


हार जीत और यादे,
राह में पीड़ा भी होगी,
वेदना में लिप्त हो या,
धैर्यता से मुस्कुरा के,
बढ़ना ही होगा ए मुसाफिर

जाड,ग्रीष्म और वसंत,
राह में सावन भी होगा,
बरखा कि कभी बूंद होंगी,
मरुथल कि कभी रेत होगी,
मंजिल कभी पास होगी,
कभी, मंजिल कि बस प्यास होगी,

आश से मन जब भरा हो,
साँस तन में हो धड़कती,
नापने आकाश कितने,
तू अगर जो रुक गया तो,
रह जायेंगे, कितने सपने अधूरे,

चाहे दो पल छाँव में,
नैनो को तू विश्राम दे ले,
फिर तुझे उन्मक्त मन से,
छितिज़ को
छूना ही होगा,ए मुसाफिर।

अन्धेरे मे

अन्धेरे मे खुद को, कोइ सम्भल्ता नही है, हवा खुद ही आती है, कोइ लाता नही है, आसमा मे चमकती, बिजली असहाय है, कड़क के गिरती है, कोई सम्भालता नहीं है, दुनिया के हर रूप से, उठ चुका है यकीं आज, आज तो इंसान को खुद पे भी यकीं आता नहीं है, जहर हाथों मे है, पर  कायर मर पाता नहीं है, जिंदगी से है नफ़रत, मौत से यारी कर पाता नहीं है | ~अभि  

Chapter 4: The suspects

The sound of the morning alarm had little to no impact on him on most days. The only way it used to serve its purpose was by waking his mom instead, in the adjoining room, who in turn would ensure with her resounding voice that Tarun doesn’t get late for his school. On this day, however, when she did not hear the booming sound of the alarm even after 6 am, she wondered if the alarm was out of battery. So, dreading the possibility of having to drive him to school, still slumberous, she dragged herself to his room. To her surprise though, Tarun was already in the shower. Certainly relieved, she couldn’t help but wonder: how??.  His mind was flooded with numerous thoughts, plans and anxiousness to put them to test.  When he finally crossed the gates of his school and looked at his watch, he realized that he must have walked fast today. Oblivious to the wave he just got from Rahul and Ketan who were strolling towards the classroom, he walked past them, still fast paced. To them...

Chapter 9: A step forward

A step forward For the whole of last week, Richa and Tarun had acted out their part as a well-oiled machine in complete synchronization with each other. However, after their discussion last night, both of them were out of sync today. Richa was increasingly worried and annoyed due to Tarun’s non-committal stance about grabbing hold of Priti’s diary. On the other hand, Tarun did not appreciate Richa’s lack of faith in his suspicion of Priti’s substitute badminton coach. As a result, unlike every other day, they avoided exchanging any glances towards each other during the school. When Priti went to the restroom in between the second and third periods, Richa hopefully looked in the direction of Tarun expecting him to try to reach out for Priti’s bag. But Tarun did no such thing. He seemed lost in some thought with his gaze fixed on the blackboard in front. Richa wanted to go shout at him right that instant. But she did no such thing and muttered under her breath. “Such an idiot”....
