sawan ke jab baadal chhaye
sawan ke jab baadal chhaye
aur bhu humko tum yaad aaye

aur bhu humko tum yaad aaye

kam na hua duniya ka andhera
kam na hua duniya ka andhera
kaise kaise deep jalaye
kaise kaise deep jalaye
sawan ke jab baadal chhaye

sabko padi hai apni apni
sabko padi hai apni apni
kaun kisi ka dard bataye
kaun kisi ka dard bataye

girta jaye sambhalta jaye
girta jaye sambhalta jaye
sawan ke jab baadal chhaye
sawan ke jab baadal chhaye

pagal dil ka kaun bharosa
pagal dil ka kaun bharosa
jane kya kab dil mein samaye
jane kya kab dil mein samaye
sawan ke jab baadal chhaye

ishq ko ye pahchan nahi hai
ishq ko ye pahchan nahi hai
kaun hai apne kaun paraye

aap bhi ab naushaad palatiye
aap bhi ab naushaad palatiye
saare parinde ghar laut aaye
saare parinde ghar laut aaye
sawan ke jab baadal chhaye
aur bhu humko tum yaad aaye
sawan ke jab baadal chhaye
sawan ke jab baadal chhaye

When monsoon clouds descend,
When monsoon clouds descend,
Your memory, a deeper ache,
When monsoon clouds descend.

The world's shadows never cease,
The world's shadows never cease,
Though lamps of hope we light and keep,
When monsoon clouds descend.

Each life, a solitary plea,
Each life, a solitary plea,
Who shares another's heavy pain?
When monsoon clouds descend.

The mark of man, a falling star,
The mark of man, a falling star,
To rise again from every fall,
When monsoon clouds descend.

The heart, a wild, untamed thing,
The heart, a wild, untamed thing,
What storms may brew, what secrets keep,
When monsoon clouds descend.

Love knows no face, no boundary,
Love knows no face, no boundary,
Who's kin, who stranger, lost to time,
When monsoon clouds descend.

Now, Nau'shad, turn your gaze homeward,
Now, Nau'shad, turn your gaze homeward,
As birds of soul find rest at last,
When monsoon clouds descend,
Your memory, a deeper ache,
When monsoon clouds descend.
