Original: Male Matthu Kavithe by Kotresh Arasikere
Translation by: Prof. Ramaprasad B V
Each rain
has a name
each rain
is a poem.
How many names
for poems!
Sometimes rain cuddles,
sometimes cantankerous,
it irritates,
uncomprehendingly pouring down.
Simple like a child,
sometimes scanty
sometimes bounty.
Simply get drenched
in adoration
till comprehension dawns
sometimes comprehending.
Every time it pours,
it infatuates.
a drizzle or a downpour,
even when boring
teaches humble living.
What a good poet
This rain is!
Every time it pours
it amazes, and
gifts a new poem, and
nurtures like mother.
