mere balo me sawan ki ghata aaha aaha
mere balo me sawan ki ghata
mere galo par yauwan ki chaya yauwan ki chaya
mai naw parbhat ki ujjawal arunayi hu
mai rum jhum kar dwar tere aayi hu
dwar tere aayi hu

mai ithlate madhuban ki balkhati ek kali hu
mai lahrate sagar ki lahro ke bich pali hu
bijli ki chamak taro ki damak
bijli ki chamak taro ki damak
phul ki mahakti kyari hu
mai naw parbhat ki ujjawal arunayi hu
mai rum jhum kar dwar tere aayi hu
dwar tere aayi hu

In my hair, the monsoon's dark embrace, ah, ah,
In my hair, the monsoon's somber grace.
On my cheeks, youth's tender, sun-kissed trace, youth's gentle sway,
I am dawn's radiant, blush-filled day.
I arrive, swaying, dancing, drawn to your door,
Drawn to your door.

I am a bud, in a playful, swaying grove,
I am the ocean's crest, in the waves I rove.
Lightning's flash, the stars' soft gleam,
Lightning's flash, starlight's dream,
A fragrant bed of blossoms I seem.
I am dawn's radiant, blush-filled day.
I arrive, swaying, dancing, drawn to your door,
Drawn to your door.
