Chataka - The Rainbird lyrics
by Gajanan Mishra
O Chataka
You are really
A great Tapaswi
You wait wait
And drink only
Pure rain water
No matter
How much water
Is available
Here in ponds ocean
No matter how much
Water flow in the Ganges
In this hot summer
You wait for rain
To drink directly
Rain water
My dear, teach me
The way of waiting
Teach me the patience
You cultivate from life
I know in life
Only patience is there
To learn
And O patience master
Teach me how to live
Days months together
Without drinking
A drop of water.
