panth niharu dagar buharu nain bahau roj
suli upar sej piya ki kis vidh milna hoye

pade barkha phuhar kare jiyara pukar
dukh jane na hamar bairan rut barsaat ki
barsaat ki
pade barkha phuhar kare jiyara pukar

ut barse badarva kaare
it barse do nain humare
haye miti kajre ki dhar
luta man ka singaar
dukh jane na hamar bairan rut barsaat ki
barsaat ki
pade barkha phuhar kare jiyara pukar

dukh hamri abhagan preet ke
wo hi jane jo haraa ho jeet ke
haye tute sapno ke haar suna laage sansaar
dukh jane na hamar bairan rut barsaat ki
barsaat ki
pade barkha phuhar kare jiyara pukar
dukh jane na hamar bairan rut barsaat ki
barsaat ki

I sweep the path, I watch the road, my eyes weep daily,
Upon a bed of thorns, my love, how shall we meet truly?

The rain falls, a fine spray, my heart cries out in pain,
This sorrow of mine, the cruel monsoon, it doesn't understand.
The monsoon,
The rain falls, a fine spray, my heart cries out in pain.

There, dark clouds are pouring,
Here, my two eyes are weeping,
Alas, the kohl's stream is erased,
The adornment of my heart is plundered.
This sorrow of mine, the cruel monsoon, it doesn't understand.
The monsoon,
The rain falls, a fine spray, my heart cries out in pain.

The suffering of my love, ill-fated,
Only one who has lost, winning, knows.
Alas, broken garlands of dreams, the world feels empty,
This sorrow of mine, the cruel monsoon, it doesn't understand.
The monsoon,
The rain falls, a fine spray, my heart cries out in pain.
This sorrow of mine, the cruel monsoon, it doesn't understand.
The monsoon.
