aaj madhuvaataas dole
madhurimaa se praan bhar lo
chaand ko chup chaap nirkho
chaandni mein snaan kar lo
aaj madhuvaataas dole

ye chameli si sugandhit
raat madhu muskaa rahi
ye chameli si sugandhit
raat madhu muskaa rahi
jheenguron ki been ki
jhankaar par kuchh gaa rahi

cheh chehaate vigah bhole
kis dishaa mein kho gaye
maun hai prakrati jagat ke
sakal praani so gaye
main kahu kuchh kaan me
tum jaan kar anjaan kar lo
chaand ko chup chaap nirkho
chaandni mein snaan kar lo
aaj madhuvaataas dole

aaj tum kyun maun ho
aaj kuchh mukh se bol do
aaj apni chiranjeevi
laaj ke pat khol do

aa aa aa aa aa
mook kaliyon se suno
kuchh pranay ki paagal kahaani
mad bhari geeli hawaa se
baat kar lo kuchh suhaani
band kar palke kisi kaa
aaj man mandhyaan kar lo
chaand ko chup chaap nirkho
chaandni mein snaan kar lo
aaj madhuvataas dole
aa aa aa aa aa

The honeyed wind now sways,
Fill your soul with sweet delight,
Gaze upon the silent moon,
Bathe within its silver light,
The honeyed wind now sways.

Like jasmine, scents now bloom,
The night, with honeyed smile,
Like jasmine, scents now bloom,
The night, now smiles the while,
On the crickets' tune,
A melody takes flight.

The chirping birds are gone,
Lost to what unknown land?
Nature hushes, world asleep,
Every creature of the land.
Whisper secrets to my ear,
Pretend you don't understand,
Gaze upon the silent moon,
Bathe within its silver light,
The honeyed wind now sways.

Why silence, tell me why,
Speak words that softly flow,
Unveil your timeless self,
Let your hidden blushes go.

Ah, ah, ah, ah,
Listen to the buds,
A tale of love's sweet sting,
Speak with the humid air,
Of moments love can bring.
Close your eyes, reflect,
Upon the soul's sweet spring,
Gaze upon the silent moon,
Bathe within its silver light,
The honeyed wind now sways.
Ah, ah, ah, ah.
