O Beloved! Please speak to me just once after ignoring me. The clouds of love rained, and my being was drenched.
Kabir uses beautiful metaphors here to describe the profound experience of divine grace. The Beloved's shift from ignoring him to speaking with him signifies a transition from separation to union. The 'clouds of love' are a powerful metaphor for overwhelming, sudden divine favor. Being 'drenched' means the soul is completely saturated with divine emotion, achieving a state of profound spiritual fulfillment. This is Kabir's unique insight into the overwhelming nature of divine connection.
