Here in Kolkata it has been raining
Sometimes in torrents sometimes in light drop
Nimbus clouds are endlessly thundering
For a little shelter larks hop and hop

The sky overcast in densely black cloud
The normal flow of life has gone haywire
Weak bridges cave in before helpless crowd
We are robbed of our poems as it were

The ruthless rain in city and village
The sky collapsing in shirts and trousers
Crazy monsoon in meaningless pillage
The garden smiles though in scented flowers

The rescue team is calling you and me
Hey come let’s join the life in poetry
