kitni dard bhari
o kitni dard bhari ye baat hain
kitni dard bhari
jiski subah nahi ye wo raat hain hain
kitni dard bhari
aankho me aansu
aur sote me yaado ki baarat hain
kitni dard bhari ye baat hain
kitni dard bhari

aaya sawan beet gaya
aaya sawan beet gaya
ho gayi chot purani
ek birhan ki aankho se ab tak barse pani
ek birhan ki aankho se ab tak barse pani
jane ye kaisi barsaat hain
kitni dard bhari

So heavy, this sorrow,
Oh, so heavy this tale we bear,
So heavy,
A night without dawn, a darkness to share.
So heavy,
Tears in the eyes,
And a memory's procession in slumber's lair.
So heavy this sorrow,
Oh, so heavy the air.

The monsoon came, the monsoon went,
The wound grows old and deep,
From a grieving heart, the tears descend,
Her weeping secrets to keep.
From a grieving heart, the tears descend,
What rain is this, that will not cease,
So heavy,
