jhirmir jhirmir meha barse ho rama
mann pyasa kahe tarse ho rama
ho ji ho, ho ji ho
baras baras barkha suhani kyu laye
diwani mujhe karne deewani kyu aaye
ye wo sawal jinke jawab dene me mushkil badi
ye wo sawal jinke jawab dene me mushkil badi
jane wafa ye falsafa janane ko hai umar padi
bhige hue mausam ka maja lut le aaja
ye narm faza, sard hawa lut le aaja

sanan sanan bahe purva pavan
pavan ke sang kahaan udd jaye mann
badal badal se takraye ho rama
ho kahe bijuri chamakaye o rama
badal barkha bijali ke raj janane ko abhi kyu adi
badal barkha bijali ke raj janane ko abhi kyu adi
bijali ke raaj janane ko abhi kyu adi
jaane wafa ye falsafa janane ko hai umar padi
bundon mein dhale moti jara loot le aaja
bheege huye mausam ka maja loot le aaja

barsat ke tarane barsat hi se pale
badal jo ga rahe hai wo sur chalo sajale
tutake barse pani pani bhige mori chunar dhani dhani
megh se bole papiha pyasa pas aa pas aa piya pas aa
indradhanush kaisa jaadu kare jadu kare, jadu kare
ankhiyo me rango ke khajane bhare
khajane bhare, khajane bhare
ye dhup aur pani ho rama hoti dekh ke hairani ho rama
in uljhano me jaye na bit hath aayi suhani ghadi
in uljhano me jaye na bit hath aayi suhani ghadi
jane wafa ye falsafa janane ko hai umar padi
ye rang ye masti ye nasha lut le aaja
bhige hue mausam ka maja lut le aaja
jhirmir jhirmir meha barse ho rama
ho ji ho, ho ji ho
jhirmir jhirmir meha barse
jhirmir jhirmir meha barse ho rama
jhirmir jhirmir meha barse ho rama
jhirmir jhirmir meha barse ho rama

Drizzle, drizzle, the heavens weep, O Rama,
Why does the thirsty heart still yearn, O Rama?
Ho ji ho, ho ji ho.

What joy does the sweet rain bring, year after year?
Why come to madden me, to drive me to despair?
These are the questions, so hard to answer,
These are the questions, so hard to answer.
My love, this philosophy, a lifetime to discover,
The wet season's delight, come, let us plunder,
This gentle air, this cool breeze, come, let us plunder.

Whispering, whispering, the eastern wind blows,
With the wind, where does the mind go?
Clouds collide with clouds, O Rama,
Why does the lightning flash, O Rama?
Why are you so keen to know the secrets of cloud, rain, and lightning?
Why are you so keen to know the secrets of cloud, rain, and lightning?
My love, this philosophy, a lifetime to discover,
The pearls of rain, let us gather,
The wet season's delight, come, let us plunder.

Songs of the rain, nurtured by the rain,
The melodies the clouds sing, let us sustain.
The water pours, soaking my green veil, green veil.
The thirsty cuckoo calls to the clouds, come near, come near, beloved, come near.
How the rainbow weaves its magic, weaves its magic,
Fills the eyes with treasures of color,
Treasures, treasures.
The sun and the water, O Rama, a wonder to behold, O Rama,
In these confusions, let not the precious moment flee,
In these confusions, let not the precious moment flee.
My love, this philosophy, a lifetime to discover,
This color, this joy, this intoxication, come, let us plunder,
The wet season's delight, come, let us plunder.
Drizzle, drizzle, the heavens weep, O Rama,
Ho ji ho, ho ji ho.
Drizzle, drizzle, the heavens weep.
Drizzle, drizzle, the heavens weep, O Rama,
Drizzle, drizzle, the heavens weep, O Rama,
Drizzle, drizzle, the heavens weep, O Rama.
