Saawan

Saawan
In the month of Saawan
Misty all around, how to survive beloved mother of mine,
The dark night
With drizzling outside and brimful memories of thine.

Beyond mountains heavy roar of clouds
Ruthlessly it starts raining
Baaduli I do have
In the month of Saawan 

The rills and mountains make boisterous sound
You at alien land and lonely I at home
My heart dreads
In the month of Saawan

Children at home, work remains undone in fields
Pathetically it rains and I need to collect grass too
Uptight my clothes are
In the month of Saawan

Alone I am with delicate heart of mine
This entire monsoon tears enough
From my eyes would flow
In the month of Saawan
Gone the days of heavy rains
Gone the monsoon but my eyes remains wet
How they’ll get dry
In the month of Saawan

His songs and poems, much like the European Romantics and American Transcendentalists, echo a longing for transcendence; an existential wish to connect profoundly with nature, humanity, and the cosmos. What sets Negi apart is his use of the vernacular tongue, drawing from the everyday life of shepherds, grass reapers, and villagers, blending the simplicity of the life of hill folk with the profound depth of Romantic thought. Negi’s songs and poems, akin to the poetic expressions of Romantic poets like Wordsworth, Keats, and Robert Frost, reflect an unfathomable reverence for nature. His lyrics whole-heartedly celebrate the feelings of love with a deep exploration of the human condition. Yet, h...
