Dark rain clouds reached upwards
Anytime we can expect monsoon rain
The earth is prepared to receive
The drops and pouring of water from rain
The frogs are crying and crying
Expecting the rain in welcome spirit
The water from the rain fills
Ponds and lakes they live in happiness
The open drains in the middle of paddy field
Readied to drain out the water to river
The monsoon is in the near vicinity to arrive
Anytime we expect the rain in its glory
The farmers are in happy mood and ready to receive
The rain in its full spirit of normal monsoon
The life itself is dependent upon the rain
Unless even drinking water will be in scarce
The monsoon rain recharges the open wells
Where the water is plenty and women in happiness
Thanking the rain the nature's valuable gift
Still belated its appearance during this monsoon
There was a saying by the king in earlier times
Kerala will be blessed with best harvest and rich
Since monsoon in its correct falls and pepper harvest
No matter of concern for poverty for this blessed land
But environment and nature is totally ruined
People's attitude towards rain is changed
They seldom respect the feeling of mother earth
Carrying their own attempts and craze to accumulate
The earth is abused and water sources filled
However rain is giving its noble supply of water
Happy to see the rain clouds in atmosphere
May it be a safer monsoon in plenty of water.
