[Translated from a Balloch Dirge in exact meter. Once the land 
was part of India with deep ties wrought in the tranquil waters of 
Gwador and Pasni which now awash the Straits of Hormuz.

Kalaacchi, which became Karachi, intimately interwoven with
this culture, was then part of Bombay Presidency.

Bombay, now Mumbai, has a long and noble history far
beyond the confines currently placed on her]

RAIN ...

 ... Fall in torrents 
And deluge the highway

A Guest has come to my home
And I want her to stay

She came last night
>From I do not know where

She leaves this night
She needs to be somewhere

She seeks another
Who has done to her
What she has done to me.

She seeks forbidden wine ...
Let this one night be mine.

Arya.
