Restless, A Ghazal In English Poem by Ravi Kopra

Waiting to see you, my heart was restless
Seeing you, my heart is still restless

Thick black clouds have gathered in the sky
Heavy rains are coming, birds in the nests are restless

Somebody is shooting people dead at random in the city
People are scared to death, keeping watch, all restless

My lover is flying from Istanbul to be with me tomorrow
I can't sleep tonight thinking of him, all restless

It is almost three thirty in the afternoon
The school will shut down soon, all kids are restless

Jinnah eloped with his friend's daughter to Bombay
The judge is going to put him in jail, he is restless

'Ravi' has written so many poems for lovers in pain
Poemhunter isn't putting him on the first page, he is so restless!
