ghiri ghataye aasman par
ghiri ghataye aasman par
piya ki yaad jagaye re
ghiri ghataye aasman par

umad ghumad kar shor machate
umad ghumad kar
umad ghumad kar shor machate
jaise baadal kaale
waise hi megh chhal chhal chhalke aaye
chhal chhal chhalke
do naina matwale
mad se bhari teer barsa di
chalne lagi hawaye
piya ki yaad jagaye re
ghiri ghataye aasman par

amrayi ghani daaliyo par
koyaliya kaali
kuk utha kar aag laga kar
kuk utha kar aag laga kar
dhulka ki madhu pyali
hindole jhulan naveli
sakhiya kajri gaaye
piya ki yaad jagaye re
ghiri ghataye aasman par
piya ki yaad jagaye re
ghiri ghataye aasman par

Clouds embrace the sky, a shroud,
Clouds embrace the sky,
Awakening the memory of my beloved.
Clouds embrace the sky.

Surging, swirling, they roar,
Surging, swirling,
Surging, swirling, they make a clamor,
Like shadowed clouds,
Tears of the heavens fall,
Tears fall,
From two intoxicated eyes.
Darts of passion released,
As the winds begin to blow,
Awakening the memory of my beloved.
Clouds embrace the sky.

On dense mango boughs,
A black cuckoo sings,
Crying out, igniting,
Crying out, igniting,
Spilling a goblet of honey.
Swinging on the swing, a maiden,
Her friends sing the Kajri,
Awakening the memory of my beloved.
Clouds embrace the sky.
Awakening the memory of my beloved.
Clouds embrace the sky.
