Ravi Kopra Poems

Kabhi kabhi koi aata hai
aur mere dil main bas jaata hai
loha jo mere dil ki srprasti karta hai
sub pigal jaata hai
...

Pyass hi batati hai
k paani ki keemat kya hai,
Sagar ko paar kartay kartay
zameen ki kadar samaj main aati hai,
...

Shraab main peeta raha
hosh kho baitha, shaam aa gayi
pat jhaD k girtay phooloN se
mere vastr bhar gayay
...

Peelay baadal dewaaar ko cHoo rahay thay
paas main kawwoN k ghonslay thay
peDon ki dalioN pe kaw kaw kartay
uDtay hue aa baith-thay thay
...

Li Bai ab kihsti pe chaD chuka hai
thoDi dair main kishti chalnay lagay gi
ek dum kinaray par main gaanay
naachanay ki awaazain sunta hoon
...

My sorrows are deep
Still my heart says
Do not give up
Keep on living
...

le lo barsaat ki chumiaaN
le lo barsaat ki thapkiaaN
taral chaandi k drops ki thapkiaaN apnay sar par
aur sun lo barsaat k lori k geet
...

"I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma,
a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad
attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth."
—Umberto Eco
...

My thirst was intense

Still
I did not touch water
...

When a loving heart
meets a loving heart
Love makes life colorful
...
