'The Abode',as the dictionary says is a housing that someone is living in, your residence. I tend to question my childhood dream of an Abode-my small and happy world. "Do i really want a residence where my travel would cease and i would get settled?" "Does such an abode actually exist?" "IF MY JOURNEY DEPRIVES ME OF 'MY ABODE', I HAVE NO REGRETS!!"

To a firefly.
रास्तों में कहीं रौशनी मिल गयी
मंज़िलों तक मेरे साथ चलना मगर।
मौसमों को बदलते हुए देखना,
भोर को सांझ में ढलते देखना,
और मुझे आसमां और ज़मी के दरमियां
सूखे पत्तों पे चलते हुए देखना।
हाँ सवेरे से जब रात हो जायेगी,
इस ज़मीं की हर इक चीज़ सो जाएगी,
देर तक जागते मेरे दो नैन में;
एक आधा-सा बन ख्वाब जलना मगर।
रास्तों में कहीं रौशनी मिल गयी
मंज़िलों तक मेरे साथ चलना मगर।
रौशनी ने कहा , भोर नज़दीक है ;
मैंने उससे कहा और सब ठीक है;
ढूंढ ला तू फिर-से आज वो जुगनू मेरा …
जो जानता है, मेरे साथ जगना मगर।
जुगनुओं को बुझते -जलते देखना
वायदों को पिघलते हुए देखना।
और मुझे धुप छाओं के इस खेल में ;
गिरते उठते संभलते हुए देखना।
हाँ सवेरे से जब रात हो जायेगी,
इस ज़मीं की हर इक चीज़ सो जाएगी,
देर तक जागते मेरे दो नैन में;
एक अधूरा सा बन ख्वाब जलना मगर।
रास्तों में कहीं रौशनी मिल गयी
मंज़िलों तक मेरे साथ चलना मगर।

Essays on travel - Breathing.
मौला इतना बतला दे तू , क्यों बिसमिल -बिसमिल फिरता हूँ ?
है कौन मुसलसल सा मुझमें , जिसे रोज़ तलाश मै करता हूँ ?
मुझको मुझसे यूँ रिहा कर दे ,
मै मिल जाऊँ जो फ़िर मुझमें।
तू उतना ही मेरा भी है ,
मै जितना रहता हूँ तुझमें।

Because you were built stone by stone.
No. Not your beauty and finesse which took me.
Nor your arches and hues, engravings and calligraphy.
They were magnificent, no doubt.
But I have reached,felt, absorbed
- the stone you are built up of -
and how you have kept it
- integrated -
Because I know,
That's what makes you stand tall.
That's what will draw these birds to you each day.
Because l know,
You were built stone by stone.
