akeli rut hai sawan ki hai sawan ki
badi dhadkan mere man ki mere man ki
baji hai haye baji hai haye baji hai dur sehnai
bahar aayi ghata chayi jiya rah rah ke lehraye
koi aise me koi aise me aa jaye

chade jhule jhuke badal jhuke badal
khule jude ude anchal ude anchal
haye khusbu ne hawa khusbu ne mehkaye
hawa khusbu ne mehkaye
bahar aayi ghata chayi jiya rah rah ke lehraye
koi aise me koi aise me aa jaye

The monsoon's lone season sighs, it sighs,
My heart's deep pulse, it now does rise.
A distant shehnai starts to play,
And joy unfolds, the shadows sway.
My soul, it waves, with every breath,
If only love could conquer death.

The swings ascend, the clouds descend,
Veils of silk the breezes lend.
The air, perfumed, begins to bloom,
Perfumed air within this room.
And joy unfolds, the shadows sway.
My soul, it waves, with every breath,
If only love could conquer death.
