jo haadsa mere saath aaj
dopahar ko hua tha…main
chupchaap coffee piyaa..aur
diary band karke son eke liye
apne kamre mein gaya…bistar
mein chadkar chadhar
odhi..aur fhir sone lagaa….raat
ka khana…maine sheher se
laakar khaa liyaa tha…achanak
neend ne jawaab de diya..aur
neend aankho mein nahi aayi…
main fhir utha.a.aur laitkar hi
sochne lagaa….oos waqt mujhe
mehsus toh nahi lekin ahesaas
sat ha…ki mujhe dekh raha
hai…koi hai jo mere alawa is
kamre mein hai…main
chupchaap bina kuch
kahe..dheere se utha…aur
idhar udhar dekhne laga…aaj
mera dimaag sahin mein
kharab ho gaya tha…mujhe

Khair raat ko jaise aankh
bhaari hone lagin…fhir ek
anchaha khauff satane lagaa…
maine karwat badli…aur munh
takiye mein chupaaye sone
lagaa…..achanak fhir ahesaas
huyaa…kisi ki chalne ka par
isbaar kadmo ki awaazein thi
“thak thak thak thak”….dhadh
dhadh…..koi chalte huye daudh
raha tha…awaaz dur ho jaati…
aur fhir kamre ke bilkul
nazdeek ho jaati…dil dhadhkne
lagaa…sochiye agar aap meri
jagah aise kisi veeran ghar
mein hote…aur aise kisse hone
lag jaate hai ….toh darr..dil se
nikalne lagta hai..aap chahkar
bhi khud ke dil ko tassali nahi
de sakte…jab tak oos par
wishwas naa kar le….
Khair maine dheere dheere
aankhen peeche ki..aur
jhaakne lagaa…darwaaje ke
bahar ki roshni mein kuch saf
dikh nahi raha tha…dhamm…
koi kuddaa ho…koi kudke
duadh raha ho…maine apne
badan ke paseene ko pochte
huye ek dum se uth khara
huyaa..aur apne mobile ki torch
jalayi..main dheeere kamdo se
switch board ke paas gaya..aur
switch jaise hi on
kiyaa..daudhne ki kadmo ki
who awaazein shaant si ho
gayi…maine dheere se darwaja
kholaa…oos waqt mera jo haal
tha…who aap log samjh sakte
honge..mujhe laga shayad ye
koi chor ho…aur lutne ke firaak
se aaye ho…main hamesha
apne saath ek revolver rakhta
hoo…licensed hai…mere dada
police department mein hai toh
maine oonse hi ek gun lit hi
licensed who ek shikaari bhi

darwaja kholaa aur bhar

Koi bola nahi…fhir wohin

ahesaas wahan job hi koi

baunglow se bahar aa gaya
who awaaz band ho
gayi..charo taraf paid paude
hawaa se lehraa rhea they…ye
ek sachcha waaqaya mere
saath ghat raha tha…raat mein

lekin
awaaz toh yahin khatam huyi
thi aur yahan ye raasta toh
junglo ke mein jaata hai…mera

Main daudte huye waapis
haveli mein aaya…aur sone jaa

awaaz huyi aur bagal wale
kamre mein sheeshe tutne ki
awaaz aayi…main duadhta

baith gaya…gharwalo se dur
tha..oonhein phone karke
batane se oonka darr mere liye
aur badh jaayega…aur mujhe
waapis delhi bulaayenge..jah
an main jaana nahi chhata…
Kahir raat kis tarah guzri pata
hi nahi chala main sirf 2
ghante hi soya tha….subah
huyi suraj tha hi nahi tha…
yahan dhoop bahut kam
padhti hai sirf kohra aur safed
aasman…aur haseen hari
waaidya….main pahado ko
ghrr raah tha….achanak mujhe
oos buzurg ki baat yaad aayi…
maine apne ek friend ko call
kiyaa…jo mere saath kaam
karta hai….
Khair who mere ghar aaya..aur
mujhse baatein karne
laga….
maine oose apni saari
baatein batayi….oosne kaha
zaurr koi chor hogaa…jo
shayad ghar ka moyina kar

kadmo ki saaf who awaaz
aana..duadhna maano mere
ghar mein koi guzar raah tha…
jaise ki main wahan nahi rehta
aur bhi koi log rehte hai….main
soch mein dub gayaa…aur
mera friend ko approach kar
liya ki mere saath who aaj raat
teher jaaye…because who bhi
bachelor hai..aur mera thodha
darr kam bhi ho jaayegaa…
mera friend bahut hi kam
hai….oosi se zyada jaan pechan
rakhta hoon
Khair raat huyi….aaj main
kamre mein akela nahi tha…

puchaa..
“abbey yaar tu bhi naa neend
kharab kar baithaa…array
sidhe se right kone waala hi
toilet hai jaa aur mujhe sone

karwat badlke sone laga…
waise hi main thakaa huya
tha…aur gehri neend mein
mujhe kuch sujh nahi raha

Achanak ek zor ki cheekh
sunkar main bistar par uthkar
baith gaya…..”aaaaaah h

Who behosh ho gaya….main

baje oosne aankhe kholi…
maine dr ko bula liya tha…
oosne thodha checkup kiya aur
bataya ki kisi darawani cheez

Khair ooske uthey hi ek cup

“main akela ghar mein baitha…
chupchaa p darr sa gaya tha…

sawaalo se nikalne ka mujhe hi
koi hal dhundha tha…maine
propery dealer ko call kara..aur
ooske office oosse milne chala
gaya
“mujhe shak hai ki who ghar
bhutiya hai mere dost ne

huyi ki wahan aur bhi families
rehkar gayi aur sabkuch
bilkulsahi hua…ye jawab mujhe

Bhale hi property dealer ne

log sach hi kahenge….lekin
sach sunne ki himmat hai
mujhmein kyunki mujhe
wahanabhi aur raatein guzarni
thi…hmm main yun aise ye

Khair banglow ke baarein mein
janne ke liye main wohin
buruzg ke paas gaya….aur

saalo mein badle they
