pi bin suna re
patjhad jaisa jivan mera
pi bin suna re
patjhad jaisa jivan mera
man bin suna, pi bin suna re
man bin tan jyun jal bin nadiya
jyo mai suni bina sanvariya
man bin tan jyun
auro ki to rain andheri, auro ki to rain andheri
par hai mera din bhi andhera
pi bin suna re, pi bin suna re

Seasons arrive, seasons depart, oh friend,
But my heart's beloved never comes.
Seasons arrive, seasons depart, oh friend,
My heart's beloved never comes, seasons come.

In Jeth's month, my heart trembles,
Each moment the sun ignites a fire.
In Jeth's month, ah, ah, ah, ah,
In Jeth's month, my heart trembles,
Each moment the sun ignites a fire.
And separation's flame consumes,
What remedy can I find, what remedy?
Seasons arrive, seasons depart, oh friend,
But my heart's beloved never comes.
Seasons arrive, seasons depart, oh friend.

The monsoon season, my enemy, the monsoon,
Like a mother-in-law, a sister-in-law, the monsoon.
The monsoon, my enemy,
For his vision, my heart yearns,
From my eyes, a constant monsoon falls.
For his vision, my heart yearns, crying,
My kohl-lined eyes weep,
My forehead jewel cries out.
The monsoon, my enemy, the monsoon,
The monsoon, my enemy, ah, ah, ah,
The monsoon, my enemy.

Without my love, emptiness,
Like autumn, my life’s a fall.
Without my love, emptiness,
Like autumn, my life’s a fall.
My mind empty, without my love,
My mind and body, like a river without water,
As if I am alone without my Beloved.
My mind and body,
For others, the night is dark, for others, the night is dark,
But even my days are shrouded.
Without my love, emptiness, without my love.
