Ravi Kopra Poems

O unwary traveler!
Go and see the world
You have but one life
...

Listen to me for a moment
Tell us the tales of your romance

In this Allah-created world
...

I don't recall
what did I write
in the moment
of uneasiness
...

You did not taste love
Nor did you try to bite it

So it was like
...

When man is asked
to give up
a part of what
he has
...

A piece of cloth to wrap around the loins,
A staff, a begging bowl, a chillum
to smoke bhang that was all that was
needed to live in retirement in India years ago.
...

Wo 1

Wo saans na le raha tha
uski twacha le rehi the
...

It has been ages
Since you came to my city
Oh, how I wish
I could see you
...

I met her once. She likes me. I am hopeful enough
I will woo her and one day she'll be my wife, I'm hopeful enough

And if she doesn't, I will be heart broken
...

I am the fire of your life
I will leave my glow behind

When I set in at the end
...
