Kaamptaa, Thithurtaa saa koyi 

Apni jhompdi kay ek konay mein dubkaa - 

intzaar kar rahaa tha - 

            ki kab thamegi ye baarish 

Jis men doob chukay thay us kay saaray Sapnay - Armaan 

Choolha, Roti aur Makaan - Saaray ghar ka Saamaan 

Aur saamnay ki ek mehal-numaa kothi say 

jor jor say aa rahi thin, aavaazen 

Barso re megha - megha, barso re - megha, 

Zaraa jhoom kay barso, aur jhoom kay barso 

Aur vo soch raha thaa ki - 

          Kis ka paksh lengay Bhagvaan?

                          English Translation

Someone - huddled in a corner of a hut - 

Shivering - Waiting - 

Thinking - 

             "When will this rain stop?"

Rain - in which all his dreams and desires were drowned -

Chulha*, bread, and house; all household items (were drowned).

and from a large mansion in front of him -

Loud voices were coming - 

Barso re Megha, Megha - Barso re Megha

Shower a little more - and more again

with thunder and joy - shower some more rain.

And he was Wondering  -

                Whose side will God take?

*Chulha =  a small handmade wooden stove
