The Scent of Water

The scent of water If summer sun at its vertex will not perspire, How would I burning in hell will respire ? If sparrow sits on mango tree with open beak, I too am surely craving for a water streak, If in the desert, the rainfall fails to revive, How can I without your love survive ? Loneliness has left me parched and dry, Lover's lanes empty, pleasant meets a far cry, The long dark night, seems so unending, To my injured self, Is there any mending ? If you can, give me a bit of sunshine, Then why would I need the addicting wine ? Hope is all that sustains my life, Might take me out of the current strife, The Scent of water, as clouds appear in sky, Oh Rain! come rain, I am about to die, Give your divine showers so as I may thrive, Bloom may with tiny drops, even the cacti !
