Queen Of Rain (ବର୍ଷା ରାଣୀ Barsa Ranee) Poem by Kumarmani Mahakul

Odia
ବର୍ଷା ରାଣୀ
ଅଛ କେଉଁଠାରେ କେଉଁ ନିଭୃତ କୋଣରେ
ଶୁଭୁନିକି ପୃଥିବୀ ଆବାସୀ ଜନତାଙ୍କ ରାବ?
ବିନୀତ ପ୍ରାଥନା ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆକୁଳ ସ୍ୱରରେ
ଶୁଷ୍କ ଧୂସର ଶ୍ରୀହୀନ ପୃଥିବୀ ପୃଷ୍ଠରେ
ଦେବାକୁ କିଂଚିତ ଜଳ ତୁଷାର୍ଥ ଜୀବନେ?
Barsa Ranee!
Achha keunthare keun nibhruta konare
Shubhuniki pruthibee abasee janatanka raba
Bineeta prathana tumbhe akula swarare
Shuska dhusara shreeheena pruthibee prusthare
Debaku kinchita jala tusartha jeebane?

English-
Queen of rain, where are you?
Are you in the dark corner of earth?
Are you not listining to the outcries of earthlings
Who are praying you for drop of water
To survive their lives in a dry and gray earth?

Odia-
ରହିଛକି ତଡ଼ିତବେଗ, ଜଳଦ ସାଥ୍ୱୀରେ ?
କଜ୍ଜଳ ଲେପିତ ଗାହେ ବିଜୁଳୀ ପ୍ରଲେପ
ଉଦ୍ଭାସିତ କରୁଥାଏ ନୀଳାକ୍ଷ ତଳେ,
ଘନ ଘନ ମେଘ ଧ୍ୱନି ଛାଡି କି ପାରୁନ,
ତଡ଼ିତପ୍ରଭା ଆକର୍ଷିତ କରିଛି କି କୁହ?
Rahichhaki taditbega, jalada satheere?
Kajjala lepita gahe bijuli pralepa
Uddbhasita karuthae neelakasha tale
Ghana ghana megha dhwani chhadi ki paruna,
Taditprabha akarsita karichhi ki kuha?

English-
Are you with murky clouds
Where lightning plays with light and thunder?
The sound and light are playing
Under the azured sky,
Are you in the attraction of them?

Odia-
ବର୍ଷା ରାଣୀ! ଆସ ଆସ କରୁଛୁ ଆହ୍ୱାନ
ଶୁଷ୍କ, ନିଷ୍ପ୍ରଭ ଅବନୀରେ କର ଜଳ ଦାନ
ସନ୍ତାପିତ ଧାରବାସୀ ଲଭନ୍ତୁ ଶୀତଳ
ବନରାଜି ବୃକ୍ଷଲତା ସରୀସୃପ ଆଦି
ନର, କିନ୍ନର, ବାନର, ଦାନବ ସମୂହ
ପଶୁ ପକ୍ଷୀ ଜଳଜୀବ ହୋଇବେ ଉଲ୍ଲାସ ।
Barsa ranee! asa asa karuchhu ahwana
Shuska, nisprabha abaneere kara jala dana
Santapita dharabasee labhantu sheetala
Banaraji brukshalata sarisrups adi
Nara, kinnara, banara, danaba samooha
Pashu pakshi jalajiba hoibe ullasa,

-English-
Queen of rain! welcome you
Please come soon
Come and provide rain
To dry gray furrowed earth,
Let thirsty earthlings
Get satisfied with cool weather
Let them quench their thirst,
Let animals, birds, reptiles, trees
Creepers, men, and demons be cheered.

-Odia-
ପୂରି ଉଠୁ ଜଳରାଶି ସରିତ ସାଗରେ
ଆର୍ଦ୍ର ହେଉ ଶୁଷ୍କ ମାଟି ତବ ଦତ୍ତ ନୀରେ,
ପଲ୍ଲବିତ ହେଉ ପତ୍ର ଲଣ୍ଡା ମହାଦୃମେ
ହରିତ ଶୋଭା ବିରାଜୁ ବୃକ୍ଷ ଲତା ଦେହେ
ହସି ଉଠୁ ଧରଣୀ ମା ସବୁଜ ଗୁଂଠନେ.।
Puri uthu jalarashi sarita sagare
Adra heu shuska mati taba datta neere
Pallabita heu patra landa mahadrume
Harita shobha biraju bruksha lata dehe
Hasi uthu dharanee maa sabuja gunthane.

-English-
Let the pool, puddle, river and sea
Fill up with your rain water,
Let the dry and hot soil
Be cold and wet,
Let leafless trees and creepers
Get green foliage and make the
Environment alive and beautiful,
Let the motherland smiles
Under green veil.
