o sajini sawan ki kali ghatayen
dil ko tadpayein toh kya karu
o sajini sawan ki kali ghatayen
dil ko tadpayein toh kya karu
o ratiya o ratiya tere bin din nahi bhaye

teri yaad toh kya karu o ratiya
kale badal ye gir gir k aane lage hai
geet rimghim rimghim sunanae lage hai
kale badal ye gir gir k aane lage hai
geet rimghim rimghim sunanae lage hai
inki duniya mein halchal macahene lage hai
tadpane lage hai kya karu haaye mein kya karu


o sajini sawan ki kali ghatayen
dil ko tadpayein toh kya karu
o ratiya o ratiya tere bin din nahi bhaye
teri yaad toh kya karu o ratiya
har gadi ab teri yaad aane lagi hai
bigane ki ye peeda badane lagi hai
har gadi ab teri yaad aane lagi hai
bigane ki ye peeda badane lagi hai
holle holle ye humko satane lagi hai
tadpane lagi hai koi bulao mein kya karu

Oh, Beloved, the monsoon's shadowed clouds,
They torment the heart, what can I do?
Oh, Beloved, the monsoon's shadowed clouds,
They torment the heart, what can I do?
Oh, my night, my night, without you, days are bleak.

Your memory… what can I do, oh night?
Black clouds descend, tumbling, cascading,
Your memory… what can I do, oh night?
Black clouds descend, tumbling, cascading,
Whispering songs, the rain begins to play,
Stirring the world, a restless sway,
Tormenting now… what can I, ah, what can I do?

Oh, Beloved, the monsoon's shadowed clouds,
They torment the heart, what can I do?
Oh, my night, my night, without you, days are bleak.
Your memory… what can I do, oh night?
Every moment, your memory now calls,
The ache of separation enthralls,
Slowly, relentlessly, it enthralls,
Tormenting now… someone, call, what can I do?
