aur to koi nahi sahaara tu hi haath badha de
ganga yamuna ban ke baadal gam ki aag bujha de

o barso re, haay bairi badarva barso re
o barso re, haay bairi badarva barso re
aaj kisi ki prit nagar me lag na jaaye aag
barso re, haay bairi badarva barso re barso re

duniya vaale prit ke dushman dil tadpaane vaale
koi nahi bujhaane vaala sab hai lagaane vaale
barso re, haay bairi badarva barso re
aaj kisi ki prit nagar me lag na jaaye aag
barso re, haay bairi badarva barso re barso re

angaaro ki doli laaya janam janam ka saathi
maut ka ghunghat le kar mai bhi piya milan ko jaati
barso re, haay bairi badarva barso re
aaj kisi ki prit nagar me lag na jaaye aag
barso re, haay bairi badarva barso re barso re

No other solace, only You, extend Your hand,
Become Ganga, Yamuna, clouds to douse the burning sand.

Oh, rain, oh, enemy cloud, pour forth and fall,
Oh, rain, oh, enemy cloud, pour forth and call.
Lest love ignite the city, set it all aflame,
Pour forth, oh, enemy cloud, pour forth, whisper its name.

The world, a foe to love, torments the aching heart,
None to quench the flames, all eager to impart.
Pour forth, oh, enemy cloud, pour forth and be,
Lest love ignite the city, for all the world to see.
Pour forth, oh, enemy cloud, pour forth and be.

A pyre of embers, a lifelong companion’s plight,
Veiled in death’s embrace, I journey towards the light.
Pour forth, oh, enemy cloud, pour forth your grace,
Lest love ignite the city, consume this desolate space.
Pour forth, oh, enemy cloud, pour forth and be.
