In the nursery rhyme the poet asks rain to go away. There rain creats trouble because the family cannot play outside in thr rain. But the above poem is different from the nursery rhyme because here poet says that rain is beautiful and he appreciates the benefits that rain carry with it.

(āĻĒুā§°্āĻŦā§° āĻ•āĻŦিāϤাāϟোāϤ āĻ•āĻŦি⧟ে āĻŦā§°āώুāĻŖāĻ• āωāĻ­āϤি āϝাāĻŦāϞৈ āĻ•ৈāĻ›ে৷ āĻŦā§°āώুāĻŖā§° āĻŦাāĻŦে āĻĒā§°ি⧟াāϞāϟোā§ąে āĻŦাāĻšিā§°āϤ āĻ–েāϞিāĻŦāϞৈ āĻ…āϏুāĻŦিāϧাā§° āϏৃāώ্āϟি āϕ⧰িāĻ›ে৷ āĻ•িāύ্āϤু āĻ•āĻŦিāϤা āĻĻুāϟাā§° āĻŽাāϜāϤ āĻĨāĻ•া āĻĒাā§°্āĻĨāĻ•্āϝ āĻšৈāĻ›ে āϝে āωāĻ•্āϤ āĻ•āĻŦিāϤাāϟোāϤ āĻ•āĻŦি⧟ে āĻŦā§°āώুāĻŖāĻ• āĻ–ুāĻŦ āϏুāύ্āĻĻā§° āĻŦুāϞি āĻ•ৈāĻ›ে āφ⧰ু āĻŦā§°āώুāĻŖā§° āĻĻ্āĻŦাā§°া āĻšোā§ąা āĻ•াāĻŽāϏāĻŽুāĻšā§° āĻĒ্ā§°āĻļংāϏা āϕ⧰িāĻ›ে৷)
