Yearning Rain
You have given me the gift of the rain of separation
What shall I give you in return?
The bond of separation and tears!
The fascination of love is playing on the cadamba’ s branches
My self floats in the water of the monsoon
Sometimes the seven-colored sky smiles.
I pour rain on my head
I am in great troubles
The eyes are wet with tears,
The jealousy of my body is drowned in the rain
But the heart is so proud of the drought
As much as I am burnt by the summer
I am burnt more by the water of sadness
I burn and burn and live on the burning
How far are you from the fire that you kindle?
The traveler searches for the sun in the rainy sky
The sun finds its way
Which ocean of love do you swim in?
I want rain at the end of the rainy season
There is nothing left to burn
When the rain touches me does it touch you?
I have no fear of burning in the rain.
