yaad hai pahla milan srishti ka wo pahla saawan
tu yugo ki pyaasi dharti thi tujhe prem ke baadal ghere the
tere tapte huye tan pe jo jhare wo sab meghdut sab mere the
o kaamini o kaamini o kaamini

tere tan mandir me mera man khoya
jaaga sapna soya soya bade lutere naina tore
sudhbudh mai to bhul gayo re ek lachak me sau hilkore
jogan bhaag laga de more
o kaamini o kaamini o kaamini

kaaya teri maya darpan ye indradhanush tujhko arpan
aa odh lu tujhko o bairangi jaise dharti odhe neel gagan
hum milenge ye tab se tay tha jab chamak nahi thi taaro me
na soch ye niti kya kahti hai aa bah jaa meri dhaaro me
o kaamini o kaamini o kaamini o kaamini

Do you remember our first embrace, that first monsoon of creation?
You, the earth, thirsty for ages, and love's clouds gathering near,
The messengers of rain that fell upon your burning form, all mine to hear.
Oh, Kamini, oh Kamini, oh Kamini.

In the temple of your body, my heart was lost,
A sleeping dream awakened by your thieving eyes.
I forgot all sense and reason in a single sway, a hundred waves of delight.
Come, enchantress, bring fortune to my life.
Oh, Kamini, oh Kamini, oh Kamini.

Your form, a reflection of illusion, these rainbows offered to you,
Come, let me wrap myself around you, oh multicolored one, as the earth embraces the blue sky.
Our meeting was decided long before stars began to shine,
Do not heed what reason whispers, but flow into my currents, intertwined.
Oh, Kamini, oh Kamini, oh Kamini, oh Kamini.
