Ravi Kopra Poems

I feel like the lightening has struck my soul today
I feel like crying from the depths of my heart today

How pleasing for the thirsty lips to touch a jugful of wine in a tavern!
...

The spring has come
Flowers, for the spring festival
Shine everywhere like silk
But you are not here with me
...

umeed apnay pankhoN k saath
hamari rooh main baithi rehti hai
lafzon ba-ghair hamesha
gaanay gaati rehti hai
...

Soon the cadence will be broken
that holds my lunar days.
My veins will become old
My waist will have the voice
...

Sadharanpan

gautam buddha ne kaha -
jo tumare pass hai hi nahin
...

What I love most about you -

Your voice
it is like fresh bread
...

Zindagi ki bulandi main pauchana koi asaan baat nahin
aur wahan par hamesha rehna bhi koi asaan baat nahin

us oonchaee par hum khushi main doob jatay hain
...

She is sitting behind the iron barred
green window, looking at the winter flowers.
A prisoner of the spring
She is dreaming, weaving a delicate lace.
...

God kills us in wars
God gives us syphilis, cholera
God gives us rapists, burglars, murderers
God gives us hunger, disease, death
...

Bitter bitter cold
I stand like a wax mould
In my arms you fold
I hug you in a tight hold
...
