Raghuveer Singh ‘Ayal’ (Village- Ayal, Paidulsyun, Pauri Garhwal, Uttarakhand, 1938) is a prominent signature in Garhwali poetry.

   ‘Ayal’ is more famous for his adding ‘Guthyar’ word (chauk, Courtyard) in the last line of his Garhwali poetry.  Though Ayal is versatile poet, but was famous for his sharp satire and attacking on our social, political or cultural behavior. The poem attacks on policies makers and then taking advantages of those policies through encroaching other’s rights. The use of figures of speech by phrases makes the poem timeless.

 The following poem is an example of his attacking on social behavior and his power of vocabulary

किराण

कवि - रघुवीर सिंह रावत 'अयाळ'

बण गैनी नियम

चल गेन रिवाज

ऐ गेन अगनै

सबी टिप्वा

बुगठया बाज

चौर्याँळु दगडि मिली

कछम्वळि गबंळै

भोरी पेट

अर बचीं खुचीं

बोट्यूँ तैं ली गैनी

अपड़ा हुणत्यळा

छौला कू

हमरा पल्ला पड़ी

सिरप किराण

ऐंस्या रैग्या हम

हमरी घिमसाण

लगी टपराँण

कि बाबा आलो

हडगी ल्वतगी

कुछ ट लालो

पळयाण ह्व्ला दांत

पैनाणा ह्व्ला हत्यार

ये गुठ्यार
