(picture taken in Mahabalipuram in 1974)
the storm is here, the storm has risen
unconcerned, merciless, is the sky, nature
how, why, can one live when life is such torment
the lamps of hope have been extinguished
do I see clouds, or is it smoke
fire burns somewhere
could it be my dwelling
which is being destroyed
--------------------------------------
Aaya toofaan aaya toofaan
be-rahm, be-khabar
hai aasmaan
kaise koi jiye zeher hai zindagi
uthha toofaan uthha toofaan
aash ke sab bujh gaye diye
baadal hai ya dhuaan
aag lagi kahaan
jalta na ho kahin
mera hi aashiyaan

The shayri and the image both are great and nicely compliment each other. Lovely....
