sawan rut aai rimjhim muskuraai
haay tanhaai sajni tu bin sajni
sawan rut aai rimjhim muskuraai
haay tanhaai sajan tu bin sajan
haay sawan rut aai

dil tadpe thi nain bhi darsa
bijli chamki baadal barsa
dil tadpe thi nain bhi darsa
bijli chamki baadal barsa
bulbul thi jhume koyal thi gaaye
saajn tu bin saajn
haay sawan rut aayi

raah takinde raat vihami
baahen vini zazbat ughami
raah takinde raat vihami
baahen vini zazbat ughami
pal pal muh jo man mausam tadpaye
sajni tu bin sajni
sawan rut aai rimjhim muskuraai
haay tanhaai sajni tu bin sajni
sawan rut aai rimjhim muskuraai
haay tanhaai sajan tu bin sajan
haay sawan rut aai

The monsoon arrives, a smile in the rain,
Oh, solitude, my love, you are not here.
The monsoon arrives, a smile in the rain,
Oh, solitude, my beloved, you are not here.
Oh, the monsoon has arrived.

The heart aches, the eyes weep with the storm,
Lightning flashes, the clouds pour down.
The heart aches, the eyes weep with the storm,
Lightning flashes, the clouds pour down.
The nightingale dances, the cuckoo sings,
My beloved, you are not here.
Oh, the monsoon has arrived.

Waiting on the path, the night bleeds away,
Arms outstretched, emotions undone.
Waiting on the path, the night bleeds away,
Arms outstretched, emotions undone.
Each moment a face, the season’s longing,
My love, you are not here.
The monsoon arrives, a smile in the rain,
Oh, solitude, my love, you are not here.
The monsoon arrives, a smile in the rain,
Oh, solitude, my beloved, you are not here.
Oh, the monsoon has arrived.
