bin barse lauti nahi ghanghor ghata sawan ki
bin barse lauti nahi ghanghor ghata sawan ki
pyar kiya par pyas bujhi na pyar kiya par pyas bujhi na
is mere jiwan ki bin barse
bin barse lauti nahi ghanghor ghata sawan ki

jiwan ji jamuna ke kinare vyakul pankh pasare
ek bund ki pyasi pyas ki palchin tumhe pukare
ek bund ki pyasi pyas ki palchin tumhe pukare
prit gagri liye khadi re prit gagri liye khadi re
kaliya man madhuban ki bin barse
bin barse laut nahi ghanghor ghata sawan ki

pal bhar tere shan pran anjan me jan na payi
madhur milan ki ghadiyo me thi chhupi ye karun vidayi
madhur milan ki ghadiyo me thi chhupi ye karun vidayi
bhig rahe palko ke pankh re bhig rahe palko ke pankh re
jaldhar bhare nayan ke bin barse

The monsoon's dark clouds retreated, unshed,
The monsoon's dark clouds retreated, unshed,
Love's touch, a thirst still unslaked, love's touch, a thirst still unslaked,
Through life's expanse, the monsoon's dark clouds retreated, unshed.

My life, a shore by the Yamuna's flow, wings spread in longing,
A single drop, the thirsting moment, ever calling,
A single drop, the thirsting moment, ever calling,
A vessel of love, I stand, a vessel of love, I stand,
With the heart's garden, unshed.
The monsoon's dark clouds retreated, unshed.

A breath, your peace, unknown, a life I couldn't grasp,
In moments sweet, a farewell veiled, a tear's clasp,
In moments sweet, a farewell veiled, a tear's clasp,
My lashes weep, my lashes weep,
From tear-filled eyes, unshed.
