Blessing is a poem by Imtiaz Dharker.
Set in a settlement outside Mumbai, it describes the pandemonium that would occur if a huge water tunnel were to burst and shower the parched locals with water. The water is described, variously, as "the voice of a kindly god", "silver" and a "blessing". Religious imagery is used throughout the poem, including the description of the clamouring locals as a "congregation".
The poem has been included in the AQA Anthology for study at GCSE.
