badalo se kaat-kaat ke kagazo pe naam jodna
badalo se kaat-kaat ke kaagazo pe naam jodna
yeh mujhe kya ho gaya are ye mujhe kya ho gaya
doriyo se bandh-bandh ke raat bhar chand todna
yeh mujhe kya ho gaya, ye mujhe kya ho gaya

ek baar tumko jab baraste paniyo ke paar dekha tha
yu laga tha jaise gungunata ek aabshar dekha tha
ek baar tumko jab baraste paniyo ke paar dekha tha
yu laga tha jaise gungunata ek aabshar dekha tha
tab se meri nind me barasti rehti ho
bolti bahut ho aur hansti rehti ho
jo tujhe janta na ho usase tera naam puchhna
yeh mujhe kya ho gaya, ye mujhe kya ho gaya
ye mujhe kya ho gaya

dekho yu khule badan tum
dekho yu khule badan gulabi sahilo pe aaya na karo
tum namak bhare samundaro me is tarah nahaya na karo
sara din chandni si chhayi rehti hai
aur gulabi dhoop baukhlayi rehti hai
jamno ki naram daal pe nakhuno se naam khodna
yeh mujhe kya ho gaya, ye mujhe kya ho gaya
badalo se kaat-kaat ke kagazo pe naam jodna
doriyo se bandh-bandh ke raat bhar chand todna
yeh mujhe kya ho gaya

From clouds, I tear and shape your name on paper,
From clouds, I tear and shape your name on paper.
What has come over me, oh, what has come over me?
With threads, I bind and break the moon all night,
What has come over me, what has come over me?

Once, I saw you, beyond the falling rain,
It felt like a singing waterfall I had seen.
Once, I saw you, beyond the falling rain,
It felt like a singing waterfall I had seen.
Since then, you fall in my sleep,
You speak so much, and always laugh, so deep.
To ask your name of one who does not know you,
What has come over me, what has come over me?
Oh, what has come over me?

See, with your bare form,
See, do not come to the pink shores like that,
Do not bathe in the salty seas like this.
All day, moonlight lingers,
And pink sunlight rages.
To carve your name with nails on the soft bough of a Jamun,
What has come over me, what has come over me?
From clouds, I tear and shape your name on paper,
With threads, I bind and break the moon all night,
What has come over me?
