bas ek hi sur me, ek hi lay pe
subah se dekh, dekh kaise baras raha hain udas pani
phuwar ke malmali dupatte se ud rahe hain
tamaam mausam tapak raha hain
palak palak ris rahi hain ye kaaynat sari

har ek shay bheeg bheeg kar
kaisi bojhal si ho gayi hain
dimag ki gili gili socho se
bheegi bheegi udas yaade tapak rahi hain

thake thake se badan me
bas dhire dhire saanso ka
garam duban jal raha hain

In a single note, a single beat,
Since dawn, witness the weeping, the desolate rain.
From the gauze of the drizzle's shawl,
Seasons lift and drift,
The universe itself, weeping, drop by drop.

Each thing, soaked through and through,
Grows heavy, burdened.
From the mind's damp, damp thoughts,
Soaked memories, despairing, drip.

In the weary flesh,
Only the slow, slow breath,
A warm immersion of water, flowing on.
