jhuki aai re badariya sawan ki
jhuki aai re badariya sawan ki, sawan ki
sawan ki manbhawan ki, sawan ki manbhawan ki
jhuki aai re badariya sawan ki, jhuki aai re badariya

nanhi nanhi bundiya mehra barse, pi pi papiha raj kare
ali jaye kaho piya aawan ki
jhuki aai re badariya sawan ki, jhuki aai re badariya

sun re hathi papiha papi, pi ko nam na le
sun pave koi biraha ki mari, pi karan kije
ye dou naina kaho na mane
nadiya bahe jaise sawan ki, koi jaye kaho piya aawan ki
jhuki aai re badariya sawan ki, jhuki aai re badariya
sawan ki manbhawan ki, sawan ki manbhawan ki
jhuki aai re badariya sawan ki, jhuki aai re badariya

The monsoon clouds descend, a bowing grace,
The monsoon clouds, the season's sweet embrace,
The season's love, a cherished space,
The monsoon clouds descend, a bowing grace.

Tiny droplets, the heavens weep,
The 'peea' bird rejoices, secrets to keep,
Tell my love to hasten, from slumber deep,
The monsoon clouds descend, a bowing grace.

Hark, stubborn bird, your song a plea,
Do not speak the name of my love to me,
Let the lonely heart remember, set it free,
For love's sake, do this, you see.
These eyes, they will not be restrained,
A river of longing, they have chained,
Tell my love to hasten, from the sun and rain,
The monsoon clouds descend, a bowing grace.

The season's love, a cherished space,
The season's love, a cherished space,
The monsoon clouds descend, a bowing grace,
The monsoon clouds descend, a bowing grace.
