Because they do not have a permanent home
The birds are always free from the worries of land and property
They make a nest at the time of hatching
The fledglings fly away as they grow wings
The nest too drop down as it rots
As they do not have a permanent home to say their own
They cannot be blinded by the longings for their kins
So they can fly away to reach the horizon with their partners
At their own will
Therefore it’s only them
Who can enjoy the pleasure of getting drenched in rain with with their partners
(Translated from Assamese by Bibekananda Choudhury)
