"Even the Rain"

I started to smile, and then the dust came

settling, settling; covering even the rain.

pink, mauve, red I had, control them I did

but they played, colouring even the rain.

a july bride you wanted, framed I stood

for a sari wearing even the rain.

me you demanded, shatter me you would

let it come I cried; ring even the rain.

a pen brings no relief, Vebhuti said,

Shahid replied ink will bring even the rain.
