Ravi Kopra Poems

A laborer works
Hard for a loaf of bread
He is sad.
He sheds tears of poverty
...

A great poem of the day
for celebration and deliberation
it inspires and fires all emotions
all great poet deserve admirations
...

When I tell him -
Listen, it is the real thing
He laughs at me and says
I must be dreaming.
...

log sochtay hoN gay
main kyon likhta firta hoon

jawaab main un ko aaj deta hoon:
...

I love you
Like rushing to a bakery to eat the fresh bread
Like waking up in a burning house at night
Like drinking gushing water from a hose at my mouth
...

Somewhere they're spreading their wings,
Somewhere they're running around,
Somewhere they look like poor holy men
Standing still in deep meditation.
...

God tells us to love all - all humans, all animals, all nature
But he does not love a son, a holy son of christians
who still live in delusions to be pacified.
He lets him die on the cross, does not save him
...

Let us get out and enjoy the rains
let us relive our memories

to walk in the mud a little
...

O Captain, mere Captain!
hamara khofnaak safar ab poora ho chuka hai
jahaz har mausum main sahi salaamat raha hai
anaam jo hum chahtay thay hum ne jeet liya hai
