Monsoon knocking!!
Monsoon knocking at the door!
O, get the pots,
O, move out the ewer,
Palm leaves are unwoven,
Roofs are not laid,
Oh God,
Can’t you hear?
Monsoon is knocking at the door!
Trumpets are roaring,
Sward of Rain Gods –
Glaring at the sky,
Sometimes smile, sometimes bark,
Oh where gone the children?
Where the umbrella?
Can’t you hear?
Monsoon is knocking!
Granaries are empty,
Wells are thirsty,
Cows are grazing in the valley,
No one to fetch them,
Hay is laid out,
Will get wet,
Cows will starve,
Can’t you hear?
Monsoon is here!
Waves are high,
Boats are panic,
Sail is on,
Prayers in the huts,
Rain in the eyes,
Thunder in the heart,
Can’t you hear?
Monsoon is roaring!
Clouds are mounting,
Darker and darker,
Oh what a gloom?
Lamp is empty,
Fill some oil,
Oh this wind..
Can’t you hear?
Monsoon is dancing!
O Appa, O Amma,
Look at the heaven,
Rain is falling..
Pots are full,
Thirst is fading,
Heart is full
Can’t you hear?
Monsoon is here!
Look at my forehead..
Drops of monsoon,
Like busted pearls,
Thirst is fading
Heart is flooded,
Can’t you hear?
Monsoon is here!
Ah, Monsoon is hear.!
In my heart…. in my eyes!!  

PS: When rain gives lives to many; it is disastrous to many! Dedicating to them– where it falls as a blessing and then make them sleepless, homeless, and lifeless!

 Oh rain, you make some lives smile and some dream;
And far away some yell at you – ‘enough; now go back’
Oh rain, what are you?
Are you coming from heaven?
Or from the hell?
Rain is mad, She is blind, She is cruel…
Yet…
Why do I love you so much?! Eh!
