सुरेन्द्र सुराणा 'सूरु'
हकीकत
जब भी हकीकत खुलती है किसी की. दिल में एक अनजाना सा डर होता है, गिरती है जब आसमां से बिजलियाँ न जाने क्यूँ वह मेरा ही घर होता है तमाम मुश्किलें हो जाती है आसां साथ में जब कोई हमसफर होता है शिखरों की ऊँचाईयों पर से जमी पर फिसल जाने का भी डर होता है यातनाओं के डर से क्यूं भाग रहे हो, इस तरह भी कहीं गुजर होता है? झूठ कहने से कतराते हो क्यूं,
सच कहने से भी कहीं गुजर होता है? मत झिझोड़ो चेतना के तार तुम देह की सब आस अब पथरा चुकी है, देखकर मक्कारी, फरेब झूठ दुनिया के, जाने की सब आशाएँ जा चुकी है वक्त के जखम कभी भर न पाये, धौंकनी-सांसों की अब थम चुकी है, कब तक ये साँसें देंगी साथ भला मृत्यु की अवधि अब समीप आ चुकी है, तन्हाई में हमें अकेला छोड़ दो अब जीवन-ज्योति बुझाई जा चुकी है।
