sajan sawan tu badri ka
thaharta kyun nahi mujh par
sajan sawan
sajan sawan tu badri ka
thaharta kyun nahi mujh par
garjta hai garjta hai
bahut lekin barasta kyun nahi mujh par
sajan sawan

bhatakni par kinaron ke kalaai tham lete hai
ye bahte dariya hokar bhi wafa se kam lete hai
kisi sahra ki tarah main
yahi sadiyon se thahari hun
main teri kyun yakee phirti
tu karta kyun nahi mujh par
sajan sawan
sajan sawan tu badri ka
thaharta kyun nahi mujh par
sajan sawan sajan sawan
sajan sawan sajan sawan sajan sawan

Beloved, you are the monsoon cloud,
Why do you not linger on me?
Beloved monsoon.

Beloved, you are the monsoon cloud,
Why do you not linger on me?
You thunder, you rumble,
So much, yet why do you not rain on me?
Beloved monsoon.

Wandering, they clasp hands on the shores,
These flowing rivers, though they hold faithfulness as their task.
Like a desert I am,
Still, for centuries, I have stood here.
I, your certainty, wander,
Why do you not settle on me?
Beloved monsoon.
Beloved, you are the monsoon cloud,
Why do you not linger on me?
Beloved monsoon, beloved monsoon,
Beloved monsoon, beloved monsoon, beloved monsoon.
