Ravi Kopra Poems

kis ko vishwash hoga k en k paankh hotay hain
kis ko vishwash hoga k ye kitnay khobsoorat hotay hain

k hum mortals k saath vo pyaar karnay lagtay hain
...

Chamaktay taaray ab pal bhar main dikhalnay lag jayeN gay
main bechain si hoon
waqat main latki si hoon
...

bramda sangeeta tha aasman ki tarah
pathar k bench ta jahan main beth kar paDti thee

main gumany nikal gayi
...

dukh se zyada aur kya cheeze khalis ho sakti hai?
barmaadi se hum nikaltay hain
aur barmaad honay k liye.
khonay ko jo kho chukay hain
...

Vo kaun makhlook hoga
vo kis ko chah-hay ga?
mujh ko, mujhay bhrosa hai.
main us ka naam nahin leti
...

I had the happy idea to fasten a bicycle wheel
to a kitchen stool and watch it turn.
