Ravi Kopra Poems

main zindgi bhar
kisi na kisi kash-makash main paDa raha

ek mulk se doosray mulk main bhaagta raha
...

The truth comes from God
Says mahishya Mahakul ji
God is Nothingness
Says maha kavi Kabir ji
...

Neck tilted to the left
Eyes closed, arms straight on sides

With the black rope tied to a long branch
...

When I am early and you pretend, I know
When you cannot wait any more, I know

I wait so that you want it more
...

Taslima, your soul is free
No body can keep it captive
No body can send it to exile
No body can put it in jail
...

meri maaN ki ek jaani-pechani
hamaray ghar aaee
aur kapDay utaar kar
nangi KhaDi ho gaee
...

Your slanting glance was
agua fresca to my withering heart

the touch of your hand sent
...

Half of the high Shangtzu hill
is covered with emerald bamboos
the rest with wild flowers
red, yellow, violet, pink
...

"If you want a lover"
I will fetch the moon for you
Till the end of the world I will love you
...

Summer is over
still no rains
dark cloud gather in skies
suck out all day light
...
