aane se us ke aaye bahar
jaane se us ke jaaye bahar
badi mastaani hai meri mehbooba
meri zindagani hai meri mehbooba
aane se us ke aaye bahar
jaane se us ke jaaye bahar
badi mastaani hai meri mehbooba
meri zindagani hai meri mehbooba

gunagunaae aise jaise
bajate ho ghugharu kahi pe
aake parvato se jaise
girta ho jharanaa zami pe
jharano ki mauj hai wo
maujo ki ravaani hai meri
mehbooba mehbooba
meri zindagani hai
meri mehbooba

ban savar ke nikale aaye
saavan kaa jab jab mahina
har koi ye samajhe hogi
wo koi chachal hasinaa
puchho to kaun hai wo rut
ye suhaani hai meri mehbooba
meri zindagani hai
meri mehbooba mehbooba
badi mastaani hai meri mehbooba

Her arrival, a blossoming spring,
Her departure, winter's sting.
My beloved, a tempestuous grace,
My life, reflected in her face.
Her arrival, a blossoming spring,
Her departure, winter's sting.
My beloved, a tempestuous grace,
My life, reflected in her face.

She hums a melody, light and free,
Like tiny bells in ecstasy.
From mountain heights, her essence streams,
A waterfall in waking dreams.
She is the surge, the river's flow,
The rhythm where my spirits go.
My beloved, my life's desire,
Her flame, my soul's eternal fire.

She emerges, beautifully adorned,
When the monsoon's heart is born.
All believe her a fleeting plea,
A playful, dancing deity.
Ask what season holds such sway,
This sweet enchantment lights my day.
My beloved, my life's desire,
Her flame, my soul's eternal fire.
My beloved, a tempestuous grace.
