sawan ki badariya roti hai badariya
sawan ki badariya roti hai badariya
or puch rahi hai mere sajan ki khabariya
or puch rahi hai mere sajan ki khabariya
sawan ki badariya roti hai badariya

askhon ki kahani unhe mein kase sunau
askhon ki kahani unhe mein kase sunau
wo toh rehta dur hai kase batau
wo toh rehta dur hai kase batau
rone se bhi darti hu ki keh de najariya
rone se bhi darti hu ki keh de najariya
sawan ki badariya roti hai badariya

likha hai mere bhaag mein raat tarasna
likha hai mere bhaag mein raat tarasna
o kaali gatha tu din raat ki or barasna
o kaali gatha tu din raat ki or barasna
kis muh se kahu hall dil ki suni hai najariya
sawan ki badariya roti hai badariya
sawan ki badariya roti hai badariya

The monsoon clouds weep, the monsoon clouds weep,
And ask of my beloved's whereabouts,
And ask of my beloved's whereabouts,
The monsoon clouds weep.

How can I tell them of tear-soaked tales,
How can I tell them, he's so far away,
How can I share my plight?
I fear my weeping will betray,
The monsoon clouds weep.

My fate is etched with longing, day and night,
O dark, dense clouds, pour forth your rain,
Pour forth your rain, both night and day,
How can I speak of this sorrow, this blight?
The monsoon clouds weep.
