jara tham ja tu

jara tham ja tu ae sawan
mere saajan ko aane de, aane de, aane de
mere ruthe piya ko phir
meri bigadi banane de, banane de, banane de
jara tham ja tu

odhni pe bijliyo ki goti mai lagaungi
odhni pe bijliyo ki goti mai lagaungi
pis ke kaali ghataye kajal banaungi
pis ke kaali ghataye kajal banaungi
garaj badal ki
apne dil ki dhadkan me basaungi
teri nanhi phuhare, gund ke mala banaungi
salone ke rijhane ko
salone ke rijhane ko
mujhe sapne sajane de
jara tham ja tu ae sawan
mere saajan ko aane de, aane de, aane de
jara tham ja tu

Hold, just hold,
O monsoon, wait,
Let my beloved come, let him come, let him come.
Let my estranged love
mend what is broken, mend, mend.
Hold, just hold.

On my veil, I’ll embroider lightning's gems,
On my veil, I’ll embroider lightning's gems.
Grind the dark clouds to kohl for my eyes,
Grind the dark clouds to kohl for my eyes.
The thunder’s roar,
I’ll nest in my heart’s beat.
Your gentle droplets, I’ll weave into a garland.
To lure my love back,
to lure my love back,
Let me dream again.
Hold, just hold, O monsoon,
Let my beloved come, let him come, let him come.
Hold, just hold.
