Ravi Kopra Poems

Meri samaj main nahin aata, mere khuda
paani ki chukki k paas, bageechay ki seema par
ek aadmi jhuka hua nadi main chaltay
wheel ki awaaz sun raha hai
...

Hey nawab sahib,
jalan se sawdhaan rehna;
ye hari ankhoN wala ek rakshas hai
vo jo maans khata hai uska mazaak karta hai;
...

Us ki maut baad main hoti
Vo zyada samay zinda rehti
jab se hum ne dunia main
waqt ko dastawas kiya hai
...

wo khoobsoorat pyari dilhari kahan chali gayi
wo cupress ka ooncha peD kahan chal giya

usne mpmebati ki tarah roshni har taraf jagaee thee
...

aasman ooncha hai
zameen pe hum tatti karte hain
aur aasman ko dekhte hain
lakin zameen hamaree
...

Jhula

jhula tuhain kaisa acha lagta hai
neelay akash main tum oopar jate ho
...

Plum-blossoms here and there,
It is good to go north,
Good to go south.
...

kya karogi mera naam lekar mere marne par
garmioN main door ki lehron ki udasi ho gi
raat main jungle ki halki aahaiN hoN gi
...

Sometimes we find
our doors to the world are shut
we want to take long steps
but no path to tread on.
...

motarma coley ka eent ka makaan
ab yahan nahin hai
ye toDa gaya tha
jab vo apna mota sa shreer
...
