mere nainaa saavan bhaando
phir bhi meraa man pyaasaa
phir bhi meraa man pyaasaa

baat puraani hai, ek kahaani hai
ab sochun tumhe, yaad nahi hai
ab sochun nahi bhule, vo saavan ke jhule
rut aaye rut jaaye deke
jhuthaa ek dilaasaa
phir bhi mera mann pyasa

baraso bit gae, hamko mile bichhade
bijuri bankar, gagan pe chamake
bite samay ki rekhaa, maine tumko dekhaa
tadap tadap ke iss birhan
ko aaya chain zara sa
phir bhi meraa man pyaasaa

ghughru ki chhmchhm, ban gayi dil ka gam
dub gayaa dil, yaado me phir
ubhari bernag lakire, dekho ye tasvire
sune mahal me naach rahi hai
ab tak ek rakkaasa
phir bhi meraa man pyaasaa

My eyes, like monsoon months, ever weep,
Yet still, my heart, a desert, thirsts in sleep.
My heart still thirsts.

An old tale, a whispered history,
I try to think of you, memory's mystery.
I try, but can't forget, those monsoon swings,
The seasons come, the seasons flee,
Leaving false comfort's sting.
Yet still, my heart, a desert, thirsts in sleep.

Years have passed since we embraced, then parted,
Like lightning, in the sky, we started.
A faded line of bygone days, I saw you gaze,
This anguished soul, finds a moment's ease,
A fragile, fleeting phase.
Yet still, my heart, a desert, thirsts in sleep.

The anklet's chime, now grief within my breast,
My heart submerged, in memories' unrest.
Uncolored lines arise, see these pictures now,
In an empty palace, dances still,
A dancer taking a vow.
Yet still, my heart, a desert, thirsts in sleep.
