Drought thickens parchedness
The season under humourless spell.
That spell breaks its long silence
Weeping wet the earth not with sadness
For the earth around us rejoices
When rain to us at last descends.
From the sky covered with starkness
Blue and clear with cloudless days
Then sometimes rain clouds hovered by
Posing hope that soon all will be well.
Morning mists steamed through darkness
It moved around to sweep clean the air
While the sky has long withheld the burden
Today is here when heaven disposes.
Rain without you this land cries of affliction
Though you scourged with rage in diverse places
Floods and strong winds bring down calamities
Here and there fires break through like hell.
Today, you decided to show us your mercy
Your strength of power as mighty as the sea
You rain down blessings to dispel aridity
Rain, we long to embrace you with divine graces.
