Analysis of Dear Monsoon Rain!

Muhammad Shahnawaz Sabir 1993 (Karachi, Sindh)



Rain, rain, rain, rain,
Dear monsoon rain!
You bring smile on face
And wash away the pain.

Rain, rain, rain, rain,
O thunderstorm rain!
You patter on the roof
And all over the lane.

Rain, rain, rain, rain,
O beautiful rain!
You fall in the street
Across my window pane.

Rain, rain, rain, rain,
Rain, rain, rain!
You are gone very soon.
Will you appear again?
