aayi ritu saawan ki
piya mora ja re
aayi ritu saawan ki

bairan bijuri chamakan laagi
badari taana maare re
aise mein koyi jaaye piya
tu rutho kyo jaaye re
aayi ritu saawan ki

tum hi anuk bides jawaiya
sab aaye hai dwaare re
aise mein koyi jaaye piya
tu rutho kyo jaaye re
aaye ritu saawan ki

The monsoon's breath, it sighs and weeps,
My love, a peacock in flight, it leaps,
The monsoon's breath, it sighs and weeps.

The cruel lightning, it fiercely gleams,
The clouds, they weave their darkened dreams,
Why leave me now, my love, my all,
Why turn away, and let me fall?
The monsoon's breath, it sighs and weeps.

You are the traveller, far away,
While all the world, at doors, holds sway,
Why leave me now, my love, my all,
Why turn away, and let me fall?
The monsoon's breath, it sighs and weeps.
