jhumta gaata sawan aaya par na laya sajan ko
jhumta gaata sawan aaya par na laya sajan ko
jo sawan bin sajan aaye aag lage us sawan ko
jhumta gaata sawan aaya par na laya sajan ko
jo sawan bin sajan aaye aag lage us sawan ko
jhumta gaata sawan aaya sawan aaya

rimjhim rimjhim barkha barse
aise me priyatam ye manwa tere milan ko tarse
sakhiya jhule haye pyar ke jhule
usko jhula kon jhulaye jisko sajan bhule
o aaja piya aaja re jhulna jhula ja re
o aaja piya aaja re jhulna jhula ja re

takte hai nain teri rah din rain tu
ab to darash dikha ja re tere naam ki
tere naam ki rat lagi hai
man tadpe tere darshan ko
jo sawan bin sajan aaye aag lage us sawan ko
jhumta gaata sawan aaya sawan aaya

The monsoon dances, singing low, but my love's not here,
The monsoon dances, singing low, and my love's not near.
That monsoon, joyful, singing, but without my dear,
Let fire consume that monsoon, devoid of my love's cheer.
The monsoon dances, singing low, but my love's not here.
That monsoon, joyful, singing, but without my dear,
Let fire consume that monsoon, devoid of my love's cheer.
The monsoon dances, singing low, the monsoon's here.

Drizzle whispers, softly weeping,
My heart aches, longing, seeking your embrace, keeping
My vigil for you.
Friends on swings, they sway and dream,
But who will swing the one whose love's a forgotten stream?
Oh, friendless one, the swing you must now greet,
Oh, friendless one, swing, find your bittersweet.

My eyes are fixed upon your path, day and night,
Oh, show yourself, appear, let your name ignite
The air with a radiant glow.
Your name, a mantra, on my tongue,
My soul, it yearns, it hungers for where you belong.
That monsoon, joyful, singing, but without my dear,
Let fire consume that monsoon, devoid of my love's cheer.
The monsoon dances, singing low, the monsoon's here.
