Sarala Subbarao’s Kabul Drakshi Lyrics Translation
The verses treat a pregnant woman’s cravings as sacred vows that a husband must fulfill. He promises to bring sour mangoes and to be a cooling breeze when she feels warm. The meaning of the ‘Kabul Drakshi’ lyrics centers on these specific, gentle acts of devotion.
