Ravi Kopra Poems

agar jaantay nahin mohabbat kya hai to kya fark paDta hai
uthao us ka burka, kar do jhaangoN main pyaar,
kya fark paDta hai
...

basaat hi barsaat, dal-dal main pathar chamak rahay hain
phool khiltay hi gham main rehtay hain

main intazaar tera karti hoon. ek raat laga k tum aaey
...

paschami hawaao, kadon tunsi aaso
tay halki jehi ik barsaat barsaaso

haaey meria rabba! meri jaan
...

The passing spring,
Birds mourn,
Fishes weep
With tearful eyes.
...

The moon is in the sky,
But as if someone were absent
The whole scene is empty
The summer at Suma.
...

XXXV

shraab bharay mitti k pyaalay ko
main ne apnay hotoN se lagaaya
...

ek bhooray jug se
main doodh daal rehi hoon
katoray main usi aurat ki tarah
jo thee postcard par
...

Handera ho raha hai, kohra baD raha hai
bheegay ghaas se soNf aur paudeenay ki khushboo aa rehi hai
Us ko naam se pukaaratay pukartay meri awaaz main kaDak aa rehi hai
fir bhi us k galay main jo cHoti si ghanti bandi hai
...

kya tum kabhi jaan paao gay
k kya yuksaaneeat thay hum kabhi?

itnay dos k kisi ko bhi bistray ki zarrorat na thee
...

Waahday

ruko, jaao nahin
main nay kaha katay phooloN ko
