sawan ke suhane mausam mein ek bar naar mili badal jaisi
sawan ke suhane mausam mein ek bar naar mili badal jaisi
maathe pe sitaaro ki jagmag bangaal ka jadu balon mein
ghoto pe tabasum phulon la kashmir ki rangat gaalo mein
bijali jo humare dil pe giri un aankhon mein thi kajal jaisi
un aankhon mein thi kajal jaisi
sawan ke suhane mausam mein ek bar naar mili badal jaisi

mahfil mein jidhar wo aaye najar har aankh udhar ho jati hain
wo jab aaye wo jab jaye logo ko khabar ho jati hain
wo jab bhi nikalti hain ghar se baj uthti hain payal jaisi
ek naar mili badal jaisi
sawan ke suhane mausam mein ek bar naar mili badal jaisi
ye jhuki hui rangeen palke ye chehre ka sharmilapan
laya hain bana ke usko dulhan ye joban ye albelapan
dekho to wo sar se paanw talak lagti hain taaj mahal jaisi
ek naar mili badal jaisi
sawan ke suhane mausam mein ek bar naar mili badal jaisi

har jajba share mein dhal jaye har baat kavita ho jaye
jo dekhe use wo kho jaye jo mile wo shayar ho jaye
andaaz hain usmein geeton sa aawaz hain uski gazal jaisi
ek naar mili badal jaisi
sawan ke suhane mausam mein ek bar naar mili badal jaisi
maathe pe sitaaro ki jagmag bangaal ka jadu balon mein
ghoto pe tabasum phulon la kashmir ki rangat gaalo mein
bijali jo humare dil pe giri un aankhon mein thi kajal jaisi
un aankhon mein thi kajal jaisi
sawan ke suhane mausam mein ek bar naar mili badal jaisi

In summer's embrace, a maiden appeared, cloud-spun and fair,
In summer's embrace, a maiden appeared, cloud-spun and fair.
Stars adorned her brow, Bengal's magic wove through her hair,
Flowers bloomed in her smile, Kashmir's blush kissed her cheek,
And lightning struck my heart, in eyes of kohl, secrets to speak.
In eyes of kohl, secrets to speak.
In summer's embrace, a maiden appeared, cloud-spun and fair.

Wherever she treads, the gathering turns, eyes drawn to her grace,
Her arrival, her departure, whispers trace her face,
When she steps from her home, her anklets chime, a melodious air,
A maiden, cloud-spun and fair.
In summer's embrace, a maiden appeared, cloud-spun and fair.
Her downcast, colored lashes, the shy bloom of her face,
Have fashioned her a bride, this youth, this untamed space.
From head to foot, behold, she gleams, a Taj Mahal's care,
A maiden, cloud-spun and fair.
In summer's embrace, a maiden appeared, cloud-spun and fair.

Each emotion transforms, verses take flight, each word a song,
Those who gaze, are lost, those who meet, poets grow strong,
Her essence is song, her voice a ghazal's sweet snare,
A maiden, cloud-spun and fair.
In summer's embrace, a maiden appeared, cloud-spun and fair.
Stars adorned her brow, Bengal's magic wove through her hair,
Flowers bloomed in her smile, Kashmir's blush kissed her cheek,
And lightning struck my heart, in eyes of kohl, secrets to speak.
In eyes of kohl, secrets to speak.
In summer's embrace, a maiden appeared, cloud-spun and fair.
