We Are So Near Poem by Ravi Kopra
We Are So Near
qurbateñ hote hue bhī fāsloñ meñ qaid haiñ
kitnī āzādī se ham apnī hadoñ meñ qaid haiñ
-SALEEM KAUSAR
We are so near
and yet
we are not allowed
to see other
They say we are free
and yet
they put us
in the prison
The umbilical cord
it seems
was not cut
at birth
They gave us birth
But what right
do they have
to rule over
our lives
Dharma?
Karma?
Damn them.
I want to follow
my own Karma.
