We heard the wind chime, and the bells chimed along.
We found shapes in clouds, found oddities,
And a million possibilities.
He walked beside me, yet he was all around,
Overwhelmed, I could not stay rooted to the ground;
He knew it, I knew it too: to each other were we already bound.
I once called him my sun
‘Cause he brightened the planets –
When he once walked with me under the rain,
Just before the showers gathered all that I had gained.
We met again, under the rain;
To us, it seemed like a drizzle
So much our hearts would burn and sizzle,
Hidden from sight, hidden from pain,
These hidden meanings were anything but plain.
He looked over, figuring out the mystery,
Eyes narrowed, wondering why everything was glittery.
It’s the rain, I assured him, it smacks of a conspiracy.
Don’t reason it out, we’re framed to a greater degree.
Walk, let the rain fall over me:
I’d rather hide you, let the rain confound me.
He pried open my secrets, reminded me of how we met.
Suddenly the torrent sounded like a litany,
The storm, the raindrops, unravelled in a flurry.
He spoke, softly amidst the mist and dew,
The rain sprinkled upon us, delectably,
No longer am I lost, said he, now that I have found you,
And now we are one, and now my world is you.

Peene de sharaab mujhe uss dargaah pe baith kar..
ya woh jagah bataa jahaan khudaa na basa ho..
Ey baarish iss dard ki dawa mangta houn..
Kuch aur na sahi to ek salah mangta houn..
Bheeg jane de mujhe iss mehfil e baarish mein..
ya woh har boond mujhe dikha jisme tu shamil na ho..
Agar zindagi se maut behtar hai..
To ey khuda tujhe zindagi lautana chahta houn..

I actually really like those lines. I think I heard them for the first time in a movie.
On another note, rain is always inspiring.

Indeed its always inspiring…it is said that water have the quality of storing information…we are so many who look up at the sky and pray and while others curse…that is how i believe for some rain is inspiring and a blessing and for some just another bad day drenched in the dirt…its how we perceive it..how we feel it…like i say har boond pe likha hai mehsoos karne wale ka naam π
