chhayi re badariya aaja re sawariya ke jiyra san nan kare
o abke baras bada julm hua mora bachpan gaya haye ram
jiya mora dole haye piya piya bole ho na jau kahi badnam
jiya mora dole haye piya piya bole ho na jau kahi badnam
o abke baras bada julm hua mora bachpan gaya haye ram
jiya mora dole haye piya piya bole ho na jau kahi badnam

aaya re sawan ud chunari adaani
aaya re sawan ud chunari adaani
ho suni suni laage mohe rut suhani
ho suni suni laage mohe rut suhani
ek to jiya mere bas me nahi duja ankhiya bigade kaam
jiya mora dole haye piya piya bole ho na jau kahi badnam

bahke re kadam more chhalke re najriya
bahke re kadam more chhalke re najriya
yaad mohe aaye meri bali umariya
yaad mohe aaye meri bali umariya
papi jamane se mohe dar laage na laga de koi ilzam
jiya mora dole haye piya piya bole ho na jau kahi badnam
o abke baras bada julm hua mora bachpan gaya haye ram
jiya mora dole haye piya piya bole ho na jau kahi badnam

Shadows gather, a dark cloud descends, my love,
My heart aches, a restless plea.
This year, such cruelty, my youth now departs, alas.
My soul trembles, whispers "Beloved," lest I be shamed.
My soul trembles, whispers "Beloved," lest I be shamed.
This year, such cruelty, my youth now departs, alas.
My soul trembles, whispers "Beloved," lest I be shamed.

The monsoon arrives, my scarf takes flight,
The monsoon arrives, my scarf takes flight.
The season feels empty, devoid of delight.
The season feels empty, devoid of delight.
My heart unbound, and eyes betraying,
My soul trembles, whispers "Beloved," lest I be shamed.

My steps falter, my gaze overflows,
My steps falter, my gaze overflows.
Memories of my springtime arise,
Memories of my springtime arise.
I fear the world's harsh judgment, their accusing eyes.
My soul trembles, whispers "Beloved," lest I be shamed.
This year, such cruelty, my youth now departs, alas.
My soul trembles, whispers "Beloved," lest I be shamed.
