dhar dhar barse taar taar barse
barso se baris ka barso se baris ka
intezaar barse barse dhar dhar barse
taar taar barse dhar dhar barse

jug beete nahin aaya sawan
pyasi aankhen tarsa hain mann
jalti sanse tapata hain tan
jalti sanse tapata hain tan
naino ke megha to kai bar barse
kai bar barse barse dhar dhar barse
taar taar barse dhar dhar barse

purvayi ki pati aayi
rimjhim ni shayad bhijvayi
soch rahi be kal tanhayi
soch rahi be kal tanhayi ab ke baras to
pyar pyar barse pyar pyar barse barse
dhar dhar barse taar taar barse
barso se baris ka barso se baris ka
intezaar barse barse dhar dhar barse
taar taar barse dhar dhar barse

Earth groans, the threads of rain descend,
For ages, the monsoon's longed-for end.
The earth sighs, the threads of rain descend.

The world moves on, yet summer's touch is late,
My thirsty eyes, a parched and longing state.
My burning breath, my body's fevered plight,
My burning breath, my body's fevered light.
My eyes, the clouds, have wept a thousand times,
A thousand times they've wept, the earth now chimes,
The threads of rain descend, the earth now chimes.

The eastern wind, a messenger, it came,
A drizzle sent, perhaps, to fan the flame.
Alone I ponder, lost in yesterday,
Alone I ponder, waiting for the day.
This year, may love, may love now shower down,
May love now shower down, the earth now crowned,
The earth sighs, the threads of rain descend,
For ages, the monsoon's longed-for end.
The earth sighs, the threads of rain descend.
