Aabhaas

uss samunder ke kinaare ek ret ka teela tha, uss ret ke teele par wo insaan akela tha... 
nazrein tha dur tak tikaaye, jaise cheekhti si aankhei lehro mei sannaatei dhoond rahi ho...

saans thi chalti thodi maddham, jaise zindagi ki bhaag daud mei kuch aaram le rahi ho...

dheere dheere dhastei paanv, ret ke paaniyo mei mil jaane ka lutf le rahe thay... shayad oonchi udaano se thak kar zameeno ki gehrai naapne lagey thay..

wo lehrie jaa takrai chattaano se, paani ko kaanch sa toot ta aaj pehli baar dekha tha...

phir kyu ye sab aaj naya sa laga, itna zinda, bachpan sara yahi to guzra tha... kuch der aankhei moond jo thandi hawa ko suna, to mano zindagi ki kitaab ek pal mei bayaan ho gayi...

kyu wo khud se hi bhaagta rha, kyu wo bebaat hi kaampta raha,
kis cheez ke liye kudrat lo takkar deta hai aa raha...

aaj kudrat ki baaho mei khud ko khud se azaad kiya to jaana, ki zindagi yuhi jannato ki chaaho mei di gavayi, aur waha jannatei meri raaho mei kahi leti rahi angdaai.
