1/3: qatra

band ho jaata hai kuuze mein

kabhi dariya bhi

aur kabhi qatra samundar mein

badal jaata hai

even a river can get

trapped and confined in a jar

and, a drop of water can get

transformed when part of an ocean

Theme:Nature, World & Universe (44)

2/3: qatra

kitne dinon ke

pyaase honge yaaro socho to

shabnam ka qatra bhi

jin ko dariya lagta hai

imagine for how long

they have been parched

for whom even a dew drop

seems a river

Theme:Miscellany (44)

3/3: qatra

seene ka daagh hai woh naala

ke lab tak na gaya

khaak ka rizq hai woh qatra

ke dariya na hua

it remains a scar on the heart

the lament that didn’t reach the lips

it remains a part of the dust

the drop that doesn’t become the river

Theme:Loneliness, Solitude & Grief (92)
