Summary

भावार्थ: बारिश हुई तो फूलों के जिस्म तार-तार हो गए - मौसम के हाथ भीगकर भी सफ़्फ़ाक (क्रूर) हो गए। बादल को क्या ख़बर कि बारिश की चाह में कैसे ऊँचे-ऊँचे दरख़्त ख़ाक में मिल गए। जब भी शहर के किसी ग़रीब से कुछ गुफ़्तगू हुई, शाम की हवा के लम्हे नमनाक (भीगे हुए) हो गए।

Meaning: when the rain came, the bodies of the flowers were torn apart - the season's hands, though wet, turned cruel. The cloud has no idea how, in its longing for rain, tall, towering trees were reduced to dust. Whenever there was some conversation with a poor person of the city, the moments of the evening breeze themselves grew damp.
