kaali ghataao se chhalke gulaabi
hai saara aalam sharabi shaarabi
kaali ghataao se chhalke gulaabi
hai saara aalam sharabi shaarabi
badhati hi jaye dil ki betaabi
hain haal dil ka bura ho

pahla pahla paani barsaat ka
are mausam pahli pahli mulakat ka
o chaaya nasha pyaar ka ho
hay tu kaha kho gaya ho
pahla pahla paani barsaat ka
are mausam pahli pahli mulakat ka

From ebony clouds, a blush spills free,
The world, in revelry, stumbles with glee.
From ebony clouds, a blush spills free,
The world, in revelry, in ecstasy.
The heart's unrest, it knows no bound,
My soul's condition, sorrowful profound.

The rain descends, a maiden's first embrace,
The season blooms, for love's first trace.
Oh, love's sweet haze, a tender art,
Where, oh where, did you depart?
The rain descends, a maiden's first embrace,
The season blooms, for love's first trace.
