bikhar gayi bikhar gayi
aasha ki badli bikhar gayi
aasha ki badli bikhar gayi
ghor nirasha chhai ho rama
ghor nirasha chhai ho rama
aasha ki badli bikhar gayi
aasha ki badli bikhar gayi

beet gayo sawan bin barse
beet gayo sawan bin barse
bhadho ne agan lagai ho rama
bhadho ne agan lagai ho rama
aasha ki badli bikhar gayi
aasha ki badli bikhar gayi

barkha tore char din
jhuthi tohri aas
kaise ye naina bhare
do barse do rumal
badho ne agan lagai ho rama
badho ne agan lagai ho rama
aasha ki badli bikhar gayi
aasha ki badli bikhar gayi

Shattered, scattered, it breaks,
The cloud of hope, it breaks.
The cloud of hope, it breaks.
Deep despair descends, O Rama,
Deep despair descends, O Rama.
The cloud of hope, it breaks.
The cloud of hope, it breaks.

The monsoon passed, un-rained,
The monsoon passed, un-rained.
They lit the fire, O Rama,
They lit the fire, O Rama.
The cloud of hope, it breaks.
The cloud of hope, it breaks.

Your rain, a fleeting four days,
Your hope, a lie.
How do these eyes still fill?
Two years, two handkerchiefs.
They lit the fire, O Rama,
They lit the fire, O Rama.
The cloud of hope, it breaks.
The cloud of hope, it breaks.
