badal basti par chate hai
fir chupke se chale jate hai
masjid mandir aur girja me
ham kitni duaye mangte hai
ye ghar sab ijjat wale hai
dil ki aawaj ko jante hai
alla megh de pani de
chaiya mere tu alla megh de pani de
chaiya mere tu alla megh de alla megh de

tu hi barsat hai meri puch mere aanchal se
tu hi har rat hai meri meri le mere kajal se
alla megh de alla megh de pani de
chaiya mere tu alla megh de pani de
chaiya mere tu alla megh de pani de
chaiya mere tu alla megh de alla megh de

dekh nadi me pani nahi
pani meri aankho me hai
dekh gagan me panchi nahi
panchi mere khawabo me hai
dekh to suraj kya kehta hai
mere dil me tu rehta hai
alla megh de pani de
chaiya mere tu alla megh de pani de
chaiya mere tu alla megh de

dekho badal jhum ke aaye
pawan chali ham tum lehraye
dekho badal jhum ke aaye
pawan chalee ham tum lehraye
jhum jhum aaye alla megh de pani de
chaiya mere tu alla megh de pani de
chaiya mere tu alla megh de
alla megh de pani de chaiya mere tu
alla megh de alla megh de alla megh de

Clouds gather, a city's shroud,
Then whisper away, without a sound.
In mosques, temples, and churches of old,
Prayers ascend, stories told.
These homes, where honor resides,
Know the heart's unspoken tides.
Allah, grant the rain, release the flow,
My shade, You are, let the waters grow.
My shade, You are, Allah, give rain, give rain.

You are my downpour, ask my shawl,
You are my every night, in my kohl's call.
Allah, give rain, give rain, release the flow,
My shade, You are, let the waters grow.
My shade, You are, Allah, give rain, give rain.
My shade, You are, Allah, give rain, give rain.

See, the river holds no water now,
The tears within my eyes bestow.
See, the sky holds no bird in flight,
My dreams hold them, bathed in light.
Look, the sun its secrets shares,
Within my heart, your presence flares.
Allah, give rain, release the flow,
My shade, You are, let the waters grow.
My shade, You are, Allah, give rain.

Behold the clouds, they dance and sway,
The wind now blows, we sway today.
Behold the clouds, they dance and sway,
The wind now blows, we sway today.
Dancing, swaying, Allah, give rain, release the flow,
My shade, You are, let the waters grow.
My shade, You are, Allah, give rain, give rain.
Allah, give rain, release the flow, my shade, You are,
Allah, give rain, Allah, give rain, Allah, give rain.
