dhire dhire aaja haule haule aaja kare kare badra
rimjhim karja angan bharja kare kare badra
ghar aaya mera pardesi
pyas jagi mere andar ki
dhire dhire aaja haule haule aaja kare kare badra
rimjhim kar ja angan bhar ja kare kare badra

sau patjhad ki ek bahar
darpan dekhu sau sau bar
jhlak piya ki dekhu to
sarma jaye har singar
sau patjhad ki ek bahar
darpan dekhu sau sau bar
jhlak piya ki dekhu to
sarma jaye har singar
is ghar us ghar is gali us gali
charcha hai ab to mere mahubub ki
ghar aaya mera pardesi
pyas jagi mere andar ki
dhire dhire aaja haule haule aaja kare kare badra
rimjhim karja angan bharja kare kare badra

bich chorahe pe rabba lagi pyar ki boli thi
dar pe amiro ke faili ek masum ki jholi thi
bich chorahe pe rabba lagi pyar ki boli thi
dar pe amoro ke faili ek masum ki jholi thi
lut na sake par prit hamari haar gayi hai dunia sari
ghar aaya mere pardesi
pyas jagi mere andar ki
dhire dhire aaja haule haule aaja kare kare badra
rimjhim karja angan bharja kare kare badra

sej sajai phulo ki bhawre ne sab jan liya
aag lagi jo virah me sajna ne pahchan liya
sej sajai phulo ki bhawre ne sab jan liya
aag lagi jo virah me sajna ne pahchan liya
is ghar us ghar is gali us gali
charcha hai ab to mere mahubub ki
ghar aaya mere pardesi
pyas jagi mere andar ki
dhire dhire haule haule aaja kare kare badra
rimjhim karja angan bharja kare kare badra
o ghar aaya mere pardesi
pyas jagi mere andar ki
dhire dhire haule haule aaja kare kare badra
rimjhim karja angan bharja kare kare badra

Slowly descend, softly descend, dark clouds,
Sprinkle and drench, fill my courtyard, dark clouds.
My stranger has come home,
A thirst awakens within me.
Slowly descend, softly descend, dark clouds,
Sprinkle and drench, fill my courtyard, dark clouds.

A hundred autumns, one spring's return,
A hundred times, the mirror I yearn.
If I glimpse my beloved's face,
All adornments will blush and burn.
A hundred autumns, one spring's return,
A hundred times, the mirror I yearn.
If I glimpse my beloved's face,
All adornments will blush and burn.
In this house, that house, this lane, that lane,
The talk now is of my beloved's name.
My stranger has come home,
A thirst awakens within me.
Slowly descend, softly descend, dark clouds,
Sprinkle and drench, fill my courtyard, dark clouds.

At the crossroads, O Lord, love's words were spoken,
At the rich man's door, an innocent's bowl was broken.
At the crossroads, O Lord, love's words were spoken,
At the rich man's door, an innocent's bowl was broken.
Though love couldn't be plundered, our hearts were torn, the world defeated.
My stranger has come home,
A thirst awakens within me.
Slowly descend, softly descend, dark clouds,
Sprinkle and drench, fill my courtyard, dark clouds.

The bed is adorned with flowers, the bee knows all,
The fire of separation burns, my beloved did call.

Oh, my stranger has come home,
A thirst awakens within me.
Slowly descend, softly descend, dark clouds,
Sprinkle and drench, fill my courtyard, dark clouds.
