Resurrection Poem by Shankaran Kutty

(My attempt at translating a song, actually a poem, from a film in my local language - Malayalam. The movie name is Spirit and the poet is Rafique Ahmed)

When death comes knocking at the door
I want you my dear, by my side
Fingers burnt from the burning embers
With your caress would the pain subside.

Let your sweet scent fill the last gasps
Of living breath that I inhale
In my eyes, which have drunk its last worldly sight
Let your vision fill, without fail

Let your sweet tones fill my ears
Which another murmur will never hear again
As the flames of my knowledge rise
Your sweet thoughts shower like autumn rain

For the sweet prayers from your lips enhance
The wounds of a passionate kiss indeed
Soothed are my feet from the paths I tread
That, My Love, to you did lead

Then, when six feet below my body lies
As a fresh stalk of grass, would then I rise.
