aayi ritu sawan ki piya mora jaye re
aayi ritu sawan ki bairan bijuri chamkan lagi
bairan bijuri chamkan lagi badri tana mare re
aise me koi jaye piya aise me koi jaye piya
aayi ritu sawan ki

tu nahi aalok videsh jaiyo
sab aaye hai dware aise me koi jaye piya
aise me koi jaye piya tu rutho kyu jaye re
aayi ritu sawan ki aayi ritu sawan ki

The monsoon arrives, my love departs,
The monsoon arrives, the cruel lightning flares.
The cruel lightning flares, the dark clouds taunt,
Can one leave, my love, can one leave now?
The monsoon arrives.

You are not here, in a distant land you dwell,
All come to my door, can one leave now?
Can one leave now, why do you turn away?
The monsoon arrives, the monsoon arrives.
