sawan ki rut bhayi sajanwa sawan ki rut bhayi
sawan ki rut bhaye sajanwa sawan ki rut bhaye
sawan ki rut bhaye

teri gali mein badal chaye teri gali mein badal chaye
kunjan more nachaye kunjan more nachaye
sawan ki rut bhaye sajanwa sawan ki rut bhaye
sawan ki rut bhaye

teri gali me ek pardesi teri gali me ek pardesi
aaya hai aas lagaye aaya hai aas lagaye
uski aas me pyas chipi hai uski aas me pyas chipi hai
pyase ko kaun bulaye pyase ko kaun bulaye
sawan ki rut bhaye sajaniya sawan ki rut bhaye
sawan ki rut bhaye

rup nagar ka lobhi jogi rup nagar ka lobhi jogi
naino ka jal bichaye

The monsoon's breath, a lover's call, the monsoon's breath.
The monsoon's breath, a lover's call, the monsoon's breath.
The monsoon's breath.

Your lane, veiled in cloud, your lane, veiled.
Groves where peacocks dance, groves where peacocks dance.
The monsoon's breath, a lover's call, the monsoon's breath.
The monsoon's breath.

A stranger in your lane, a stranger in your lane,
Arrives, hope in his gaze, hope in his gaze.
Thirst hides in his hope, thirst hides.
Who beckons the thirsty, who beckons?
The monsoon's breath, a lover's call, the monsoon's breath.
The monsoon's breath.

A mendicant, covetous of form, a mendicant.
Spreads the net of his eyes.
