The Quarrel Poem Summary in Hindi

कवि यह समझाने की कोशिश कर रही है कि कैसे दो भाई-बहनों के बीच झगड़ा शुरू हुआ और बिना किसी कारण के खत्म हो गया। कवि कहता है कि उसका अपने भाई से किसी बात पर झगड़ा हुआ और उसे पता भी नहीं था कि वह किस बात पर झगड़ा कर रही है। एक बात दूसरी बात पर हावी हो रही थी और लड़ते-लड़ते दोनों गिर पड़े। शुरू में यह एक छोटी सी बात थी लेकिन धीरे-धीरे यह गंभीर हो गई। कवि सही होने का दावा कर रहा था जबकि दिल से वह जानता था कि वह गलत है। दोनों एक-दूसरे को पसंद नहीं करते थे। दोपहर में कुछ गलत हुआ। फिर अचानक उसके भाई ने उसकी पीठ पर मारा और उसे साथ चलने के लिए कहा क्योंकि रात भर मुद्दों को लटकाए रखना संभव या सही नहीं था। उसने यह भी दावा किया कि वह गलत पक्ष में है। तो वह वास्तव में सही था। यह उसकी उदारता को दर्शाता है।
