कन्या भ्रूण हत्या पर कुछ पंक्तियाँ (गढ़वाली कविता भाग )
आणि दे वीं ईं दुनिया मा, जींणी दे वीं ईं दुनिया मा
क्या चा वींकु दोष ज्वा ह्व़े व बेटी जात
कुछ त डैर वे बिधाता से राखी ले मनख्यात
आज की दुनिया मा बेटी बेटा बराबर चा
ध्यान से देख फर्क नीचा कुछ भी द्वियु मा
टक्क लगे सुणी ले अनूप रावत कि या बात
क्या चा वींकु दोष ज्वा ह्व़े व बेटी जात
कुछ त डेर वे बिधाता से राखी ले मनख्यात
तीलू, रामी, गौरा ह्वेनी बड़ी-२ नारी
जौन करी काम यनु दुनिया दे तारी
छाया सभ्या यु भी रे मनखी नारी जात
क्या चा वींकु दोष ज्वा ह्व़े व बेटी जात
कुछ त डेर वे बिधाता से राखी ले मनख्यात
Anoop also creates humor and satire in his Garhwali poetry as under –
उन त मि
नौन्युं देखि
भारी सरमांदू छौं
पर कबि फेसबुक मा
जरा सि चैट कै देंदु…
