kahe barse jaye badariya
kahe barse jaye
kahe barse jaye badariya
kahe barse jaye
vo kya denge hume mila de
sawan aaya umeed bandha de
vo kya denge hume mila de
sawan aaya umeed bandha de
koi mare mar jaye
koi mare mar jaye
badariya kahe barse jaye
kahe barse jaye badariya
kahe barse jaye

ghangor ghataye hai
ghangor ghataye hai
aur raat hai sawan ki
aur raat hai sawan ki
ab soch me nind sama
ab soch me nind sama
man hi me rahi man ki
man hi me rahi man ki
sajan hamre bhole bhale
sajan hamre bhole bhale

sawan ke sandesh niraale
sawan ke sandesh niraale
samjhe na samjh aaye
samjhe na samjh aaye badariya
kahe barse jaye badariya
kahe barse jaye

Why do you pour, dark cloud,
Why do you pour?
Why do you pour, dark cloud,
Why do you pour?
What can they give, let us unite?
The monsoon comes, binding hope tight.
What can they give, let us unite?
The monsoon comes, binding hope tight.
Let someone die, let someone die,
Let someone die.
Cloud, why do you pour?
Why do you pour, dark cloud,
Why do you pour?

Dark clouds gather,
Dark clouds gather,
And the night is of the monsoon,
And the night is of the monsoon.
Now, sleep drowns in thought,
Now, sleep drowns in thought,
The heart's longing remains in the heart,
The heart's longing remains in the heart.
My beloved, innocent and pure,
My beloved, innocent and pure.

The monsoon's messages are unique,
The monsoon's messages are unique.
They understand not, they don't comprehend,
They understand not, they don't comprehend.
Cloud, why do you pour?
Why do you pour, dark cloud,
Why do you pour?
