badal badal
badal kab barsoge jab barsoge tab barsoge
tab tak to hum pyase mar jayenge
badal kab barsoge
bijli kab chamkogi jab chamkogi tab chamkogi
tab tak to hum yuhi jal jayenge
badal kab barsoge are bijli kab chamkogi

armano ki doli pe sawar aayi hai bahar
dil hai bekarar ab na hoga to kab hoga pyar
aayi hai bahar dil hai bekarar
koyal kab gaogi jab gaogi tab gaolgi
tab tak phul bhi kaate ban jayenge
badal kab barsoge bijli kab chamkogi

muskil se hoti hai mulakat
jagu sari rat mai taro ke sath
aankho me kat ti hai sari rat
jagu sari rat mai taro ke sath
ho nindiya kab aaogi jab aaogi tab aaogi
tab tak to ye sapne kho jayenge
badal kab barsoge jab barsoge tab barsoge
tab tak to hum pyase mar jayenge
tab tak to hum yuhi jal jayenge
badal kab barsoge are bijli kab chamkogi
badal kab barsoge bijli kab chamkogi

Cloud, oh cloud,
When will you rain, when you rain, will you rain then?
Until then, we’ll perish, thirsty and undone.
Cloud, oh cloud, when will you rain?
Lightning, oh lightning,
When will you flash, when you flash, will you flash then?
Until then, we’ll be consumed by flames.
Cloud, oh cloud, when will you rain?
Oh, lightning, when will you flash?

On the palanquin of desire, spring has arrived,
The heart is restless, if not now, then when will love ignite?
Spring has arrived, the heart’s in disarray.
Cuckoo, oh cuckoo,
When will you sing, when you sing, will you sing then?
Until then, even flowers will transform to thorns.
Cloud, oh cloud, when will you rain?
Lightning, oh lightning, when will you flash?

Meetings are a struggle, a precious thing,
I stay awake all night, with the stars I sing.
The night bleeds away, within my eyes.
I stay awake all night, with the stars as allies.
Sleep, oh slumber,
When will you come, when you come, will you come then?
Until then, these dreams will simply fade away.
Cloud, oh cloud, when will you rain, when you rain, will you rain then?
Until then, we’ll perish, thirsty and undone.
Until then, we’ll be consumed by flames.
Cloud, oh cloud, when will you rain?
Oh, lightning, when will you flash?
Cloud, oh cloud, when will you rain?
Lightning, oh lightning, when will you flash?
