rimjhim rimjhim
nache sawan ki bundniya
mora jiya lahraye bal khaye
jamkat aaye kali badriya
gamkat mori phulwariya
bagiya bagiya bade hodole
jhule sakhiya khaye jhikole
sawan ki nadiya si mori umriya
tars tars rahi jaye bal khaye
rimjhim rimjhim
nache sawan ki bundniya
mora jiya lahraye bal khaye

jab chhaila bajaye bansuriya
jab to deewane milaye najriya
tham se munh pe gire hai bijuriya
haye mujhe bichhu ka dhank lag jaye
bal khaye rimjhim rimjhim
nache sawan ki bundniya
mora jiya lahraye bal khaye

kime aaye banke chameli ki bela
ladam se milu main akeli akeli
ban ke badriya door mat jaana
chupke chupke aansu bahaau
pyar mera suna suna
dukh mera duna duna
saiya ko haye samjhaye
bal khaye rimjhim rimjhim
nache sawan ki bundniya
mora jiya lahraye bal khaye

Drizzle, drizzle,
dance the monsoon drops,
my soul unfurls, it sways,
dark clouds arrive, gleaming.

My flowerbeds perfume,
swings in every garden,
friends swing, they revel,
my youth like a monsoon river,
yearning, twisting.
Drizzle, drizzle,
dance the monsoon drops,
my soul unfurls, it sways.

When my love plays the flute,
when eyes meet, captivated,
lightning falls on my face,
alas, a sting, a hidden wound!
Sways, drizzle, drizzle,
dance the monsoon drops,
my soul unfurls, it sways.

Why have you come, a jasmine vine?
I meet him, all alone, at his feet.
Become the clouds, do not depart,
silently I weep,
my love is empty, lonely,
my sorrow doubled.
Oh, implore my love,
sways, drizzle, drizzle,
dance the monsoon drops,
my soul unfurls, it sways.
