Vo Meri Jaan Hai, Jahaan Hai (She's My Life, She's My World) Poem by Ravi Kopra

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

kitni khushi aayee
jab main ne apni khoobsoorat beewee ki
sheeshay main lagi tasweer apnay duftar
k maze par lagaee

meri aankhoN main dekhtat dekhtay
vo muskrati hai, dil main bahar le aati hai
main muskrta hoon usay dekh dekh kar

vo meri zindgi k khushi bharay dinoN ki
yadashtaiN muhj main le aati hai -
moon main paani aanay waalay khaane
vo mujh ko khilaati hai
narm-garm bistray main
meray saath har raat soti hai
kitini mullayum, sundar, samaj-daar vo hai.

mere cHotay baitay aur pyaari beti ki
vo maaN hai.main hooN jo kuch bhi hooN
iski vajah vo sub hai. kuch bhi main na hooNga
us k bina...

vo meri jaan hai, jahaaN hai.
