aye rote hue sawan
mujhe kuch to bata de
dil tut gaya mera, ab mai karu kya

aye rote hue sawan
hamne bhi kisi ko, tha apna banaya
aur dil me basaya
usne bhi mohabbat ko
afsana na suna
afsana na suna

har jakhm mera dil hai
aur dil me hai arman
har jakhm mera dil hai
aur dil me hai arman
kis kis ko mai samjhau bhed
itna to samjha
aye rote hue sawan
mujhe kuch to bata de
dil tut gaya mera, ab mai karu kya

aankh ho jo do char
to palko me chupa lu
palko me chupa lu
dariya ko bhala aankho me
lu kaise chipa
lu kaise chipa
aye rote hue sawan
mujhe kuch to bata de
dil tut gaya mera, ab mai karu kya

O weeping monsoon, tell me,
reveal to me what's known.
My heart is shattered, tell me,
what am I to do alone?

O weeping monsoon, remember,
we too embraced a love,
held them close, a cherished ember,
and sought the heavens above.
But love, they wove into a tale,
a story never true,
a story never true.

Each wound, my heart it is,
and in it, my desire.
Each wound, my heart it is,
and in it, all my fire.
To whom should I now confide?
This much I understand,
O weeping monsoon, tell me,
what shall I do with this broken land?

If I had eyes but a few,
in lashes I would hide,
in lashes I would hide.
But how, within my gaze,
the river I could hide?
the river I could hide?
O weeping monsoon, tell me,
My heart is broken, what now?
