Running through the Rain Hindi Translation of The Chapter
कुछ को खिली धूप अच्छी लगती है
मैं भी पसन्द करता हूँ।
पर मुझे आसमान से गिरती
बारिश भी खूब अच्छी लगती है।

सुहावने अप्रैल महीने में .
पहाड़ों पर और मैदान में
बारिश जब होती है, तो.
बारिश में भागना कितना अच्छा लगता है ?

चमकीले आँखों वाले छोटे फूल
रास्तों के किनारे उगे हुए जो,
हमें देख हँसते हुए कहते हैं,
जब हम उनके पास से होकर गुजरते हैं

तो तुम बारिश में फंस गये हो
और बचना भी बेकार है.
कितना सुखद है ना,
बारिश में से होते हुए दौड़ लगाना?

‘टप-टप’ कर धीरे से
बारिश की बूंदें गिरती हैं चारों ओर
जबकि एक झाँकती हुई सूरज की किरण
खुशबूदार जमीन को स्वर्णिम आभा देती है।

हमारे आस-पास छुपने की जगह नहीं!
फिर भी हम शिकायत नहीं करते।
चूँकि कितना सुखद है ना,
बारिश में से होते हुए दौड़ लगाना !
