sawan ke din aaye balma
sawan ke din aaye hai
sawan ke din aaye balma
sawan ke din aaye
tu jaldi jaldi aaja
kale kale badal chaye hai
tu jaldi jaldi aaja
kale kale badal chaye hai
sawan ke din aaye balma
sawan ke din aaye hai

sun mere balam dil ki sunau baat
kate na raat hamari, raat hamari
sun mere balam dil ki sunau baat
kate na raat hamari, raat hamari
ghadi ghadi karwat badlu sataye
yaad tumhari, yaad tumhari ho
ghadi ghadi karwat badlu sataye
yaad tumhari, yaad tumhari
mere dil ka panchi shor machaye
chain na paye, haye
tu jaldi jaldi aaja
kale kale badal chaye hai
tu jaldi jaldi aaja
kale kale badal chaye hai
sawan ke din aaye balma
sawan ke din aaye hai

jab umad umad ke kale kale
badarwa aate hai
jab umad umad ke kale kale
badarwa aate hai
hum sune dil ko tham tham ke
roye roye jate hai
hum sune dil ko tham tham ke
roye roye jate hai
chale gaye jane wale
ye karam jali kit jaye re
tu jaldi jaldi aaja
kale kale badal chaye hai
tu jaldi jaldi aaja
kale kale badal chaye hai
sawan ke din aaye balma
sawan ke din aaye hai
sawan ke din aaye balma
sawan ke din aaye hai

The monsoon's breath, my love, descends,
The monsoon's days arrive.
The monsoon's breath, my love, descends,
The monsoon's days revive.
Hasten, hasten to me now,
As shadows of dark clouds thrive.
Hasten, hasten to me now,
As shadows of dark clouds thrive.
The monsoon's breath, my love, descends,
The monsoon's days revive.

Listen, my love, my heart’s lament,
The night won't yield, our night.
Listen, my love, my heart’s lament,
The night won't yield, our night.
Hour by hour I toss and turn,
Your memory, my plight.
Hour by hour I toss and turn,
Your memory, my plight.
My heart's bird cries a mournful plea,
Finds no rest, alas!
Hasten, hasten to me now,
As shadows of dark clouds thrive.
Hasten, hasten to me now,
As shadows of dark clouds thrive.
The monsoon's breath, my love, descends,
The monsoon's days revive.

When gathering, swelling, dark, so deep,
The rain clouds start to pour,
When gathering, swelling, dark, so deep,
The rain clouds start to pour,
I hold my empty heart and weep,
And weep, and weep some more.
I hold my empty heart and weep,
And weep, and weep some more.
Those who departed, gone away,
Where did that fire decree?
Hasten, hasten to me now,
As shadows of dark clouds thrive.
Hasten, hasten to me now,
As shadows of dark clouds thrive.
The monsoon's breath, my love, descends,
The monsoon's days revive.
The monsoon's breath, my love, descends,
The monsoon's days revive.
