ae hawa ye bata, ae hawa ye bata
ae ghata ye bata, kya tujhe hai pata
abke baras jo barasega, vo sawan kaisa hoga
sawan jaisa bhi ho mera sajan kaisa hoga
sawan jaisa bhi ho mera sajan kaisa hoga

tab mai kisi se, pyar krungi
tab mai kisi se, pyar krungi, tab solha singar krungi
mukh dekhungi mai jisme, vo darpan kaisa hoga
darpan jaisa bhi ho mera hoga
sawan jaisa bhi ho mera sajan kaisa hoga

babul ke ghar ji na lage, ji na lage
babul ke ghar ji na lage, ji ke andar barasa jage
babul ke ghar ji na lage
jane anjane sajan ka, angan kaisa hoga
angan jaisa bhi ho mera sajan kaisa hoga
sawan jaisa bhi ho mera sajan kaisa hoga

khel ke mujh se aankh micholi
khel ke mujh se aankh micholi, le jayega meri dholi
mere man ka meet vo, mera dushman kaisa hoga
dushman jaisa bhi ho, mera sajan kaisa hoga
sawan jaisa bhi ho mera sajan kaisa hoga
sawan jaisa bhi ho mera sajan kaisa hoga

Oh wind, tell me, oh wind, reveal,
Oh cloud, unveil, what secrets conceal?
This coming year, when the monsoon pours,
What kind of rain will grace our shores?
Whatever monsoon, my beloved, what will be?

Then I will love, with all my heart,
Then I will love, and play my part,
Adorned in sixteen graces bright,
What mirror will reflect my light?
Whatever mirror, monsoon's gentle art,
Whatever monsoon, my beloved, what will be?

In father's home, the heart finds no ease,
In father's home, a longing that won't cease,
Within the heart, a yearning starts to bloom.
Unseen, unknown, my beloved's room,
Whatever monsoon, my beloved, what will be?
Whatever monsoon, my beloved, what will be?

Playing hide-and-seek, the game we play,
Love will escort me on my wedding day,
The shadow of my soul, my foe,
How will he be, this man I know?
Whatever foe, monsoon's gentle art,
Whatever monsoon, my beloved, what will be?
Whatever monsoon, my beloved, what will be?
