ho thandi thandi rut hai meri jale re jawani
mai thar thar kanpu o meri ajab kahani
ke dil mera dhadke shola sa bhadke
hath pakad ke koi mujhe le jaye
haye thandi thandi rut hai o meri jale re jawani

mai diwani mai diwani mai diwani
anjani mere sapne rahe kaware kaware
meri ujhi unko koi aaye aur saware saware
koi dil wala chahne wala aake gale lagaye
haye thandi thandi rut hai meri jale re jawani
mai thar thar kanpu o meri ajab kahani

haye re julmi haye re julmi haye re julmi
sawan dekho kya kya aag lagaye lagaye
pani se to bhige aanchal
dil pyasa rah jaye rah jaye
rimjhim barse man mera tarse aise me koi aaye
haye thandi thandi rut hai meri jale re jawani
mai thar thar kanpu o meri ajab kahani
ke dil mera dhadke shola sa bhadke
hath pakad ke koi mujhe le jaye
haye thandi thandi rut hai meri jale re jawani

A cold wind whispers, my youth ablaze,
I tremble, a tale in a daze.
My heart beats, a fiery spark,
If only someone would lead me from the dark.
Oh, this cold wind, my youth ablaze.

I'm a madwoman, lost and gone,
My dreams, unmarried, linger on.
A tangled mess, longing to be smoothed,
For a lover to come, embrace, and be soothed.
Oh, this cold wind, my youth ablaze.

Cruel, so cruel, the monsoon's art,
Setting fires within my heart.
My veil drenched, yet my soul still thirsts,
As the rain falls, my spirit bursts.
In this drizzle, may someone come to me,
Oh, this cold wind, my youth ablaze,
I tremble, a tale in a daze.
My heart beats, a fiery spark,
If only someone would lead me from the dark.
Oh, this cold wind, my youth ablaze.
