Ravi Kopra Poems

A cloud of love
Rained on saint Kabir

His soul got drenched in love
...

Ta k main sharminda na hoon
aap sab k samne
main bahut kuch nahin bolta
...

Aur jab garmiaN khatam ho jati hain
lagat hai jaise sab jahan ka anT aa gaya hai
biyaban aur dahasht - har taraf
...

I have seen the world
Where beside huge sewage ducts
Children plays with a goatlings
And they grow up together.
...

ey meri pyari wohtiey
main tere te marda marda janda haan

tera rung
...

The forest sang a song -

You be ours, we will be yours
Let's be together, let's love each other
...

Statements in parentheses are lifted from a poem by Dr. tony Brahamin, aka Dr. Antony Theodore. His poem can be found in the story section below - an appropriate place. He informs me that today is Good Friday and he is praying for me. I thank him to save the souls of sinners, an indefatigable task!

aur kyā is se ziyāda koī narmī bartūñ
dil ke zaḳhmoñ ko chhuā hai tire gāloñ kī tarah

JAAN NISAR AKHTAR
...

Dear, I know nothing of
Either, but when I try to imagine a faultless love
Or the life to come, what I hear is the murmur
Of underground streams, what I see is a limestone landscape.
