Ik Samvad: Qatre Aur Samuundar Ka

(i) Samundar ne kaha qatre se

Tu hi bata, teri aukaat kya hai

Mere samane teri bisaat kya hai ?

Mujhme doob jane ke ilawa

Tera aur paschataap kya hai ?  

Qatra kahe samundar se

Mein jaanta hoon, apni haqiqat

Mere hone ka nahi hai koi matlab

Tere adbhut, apaar felav ke samane   

Mein jaanta hoon, meri nahi koi bisaat   

(ii) Samundar ne kaha qatre se

Agar tu apni aukat jaanta hai

Aur apni jaat bhi pehchanta hai

To kyon nahi mujh tak aa jaata

Aur mujh mein hi samaa jaata 

Qatra kahe samundar se

Tujh mein samaane se darta hoon

Apni aukat ho na ho,  

Tujh mein samaa kar

Khud ko khone se darta hoon

(iii) Samundar ne kaha qatre se

Khud ko khona teri tadbir nahi

Khud ko khona teri taqdir hai

Tera hona ya na hona to bus ik haadsa hai

Na hai fitrat yeh teri, na koi majboori hai 

Qatra kahe samundar se

Log kahte hein, tuh itna vishal hai

Kyon machata toon phir dhamal hai

Mujh se hi tun kyon mukhatib hai

Teri yeh kya majboori hai ? 

(iv) Samundar ne kaha qatre se

Mein to tere liye hi kahta hoon

Qatra ban ban is duniya meiin bhata hoon

Tujhmein ansh dekhoon koi apna sa

Lage aise, koi dhoomil sapna sa

Qatra kahe samundar se

Agar baat hai bus itni si

To kyon toon saaf nahi kahata 

Mujh mein to itni taakat hi nahi

Kyon mujh mein hi aa nahi bahta

(v) Samundar ne kaha qatre se

Tera mun abhi to khali hai

Tera tun bhi abhi to khali hai

Mein is khalipan ka kya karoon

Mein is khalipan mein nahi bahta

Qatra kahe samundar se 

Gar toon mujhe itna kahta hai

Gar toon mujhe itna chata  hai

Mera khalipan toon hi bhar de  

Mere tun or mun ko naya wajood de de

(vi) Samundar ne kaha qatre se 

Yeh khalipan yoonhi nahi bharta

Isko bharne ki koshish tumhari hai

Mein to bus bahta rahta hoon

Jo bhi chahe, mujh mein samaata hai

Qatra kahe samundar se

Tujhse mil kar kya karoonga mein

Jiwan apna doobhar karoonga mein

Tujhme mil kar kho jaoonga mein

Hamesha ke liye so jaaoonga mein

(vii) Samundar ne kaha qatre se

Mujh mein samana teri fitrat hai  

Tera khona hi teri haqiqat hai

Mujh mein doobkar hi to

Toon apne aap ko payega

Qatra kahe samundar se 

Apne aap ko pana tha gar mujhe

To kyon yeh khel racchaya tha

Yeh khone aur pane kaa

Kyon tunhe dhong racchaya tha  

(viii) Samundar ne kaha qatre se

Mein bhi to kaam karte karte

Kabhi kabhi thak jaata hoon

Aur gar samajh na aaye aur koi

To bus yehi khel raccchata hoon

Qarta kahe samundar se

Tere liye mera hona ya naa hona

Bus khel hai mun lagane kaa ?

Yeh khona au paana koi haqiqat nahi

Bus sapna hai aane au jaane kaa ? 

(ix) Samundar ne kaha qatre se

Yeh baat hai to chorh de yeh sapna tu  

Tere liye mein nahi bahta

Tera mera milan koi sacchai nahi

Bikhri hui ik kahani hai  

Qatra kahe samundar se

Is bikhri kahani ko jor de tu

Mere bikhre swaroop ko jor de tu

Tere bin yeh kahani adhoori hai

Tere bin har manzil adhoori hai

(x) Samundar ne kaha qatre se

Mujhse juda bhi tera koi wajood nahi

Mujhse behtar tera koi rakkib nahi

Mujhse bicchar kar tu hi bata

Tu kahan au kidhar jaayega   

Qatra kahe samundar se

Mera hona ya na hona

Bus teri mehrbani hai

Meri apni koi kahani nahi

Bus teri bicchri hui ravani hai

(xi) Samundar ne kaha qatre se

Utar ke dekh gharai mein meri tu

Yahan har ik boond moti banti hai

Boond ka moti bananan hi to

Samundar ka kartab kahlata hai

Qatra kahe samundar se

Boond boond moti kahalaye

Har ik boond ki yeh kismet nahi

Kucch ko baihna boond boond hota hai

Kucch ko saihna hota bara samundar hai

(xii) Samundar ne kaha qatre se

Mera seena chotta nahi hai, suun le   

Yoon hi vishal hridaya nahi kahata hoon

Chir ke dekh tu bhi ek bar isko

Tera chhipa hua roop dikhlaata hoon  

Iske baad, kahte hain

Qatra chup ho gaya

Yaa phir woh

Kahin kho gaya

Kon jaanta hai, shayyad

Woh samundar ho gaya

Ab kabhi kabhi, waqat ki lehron par

Badale huye mausam ke rango par

Ya phir hawa ki urhti hui soch par

Kahte hain, yeh bhi sunayi deta hai…. 

Ik qatra hoon 
samundar ho jaoonga
naa gila hai koi qatra hone ka 
naa samundar se milne ki koi arzoo 
samay ke dwar pe baitha
bas lehrein gina karta hoon......

Iske saath saath, kabhi kabhi

Ik aur awaaz bhi sunayi deti hai,

Koi nahi jaanta, yeh kiski hai,

Qatre ki, ya samundar ki.  

Is qatre ki himakat to dekho 
Yeh bhi dum bharta hai hone ka 
Sapna bunta hai to samundar hone ka 
Hona ya na hona to ik alag baat hai 
Ehsas hai yeh apne ko khone ka 
Ya phir paa kar pooran hone ka
Hona na hona to ik ehsas hai 
Ankh ka dhoka hai ya phir 
Hawa ki silwaton par 
Badale huye rango ka asar hai
