sawan ki ye hawaa bawari
chhed na itt utt jagah bawari
sawan ki ye hawaa bawari
chhed na itt utt jagah bawari
teri aisi tis jagayi
ikdam se na aag laga tu
dhire dhire jala bawari
sawan ki ye hawaa bawari

khabhi tu gardan
khabhi tu gardan pe chhu kar jati hai
lipat kamini hai tu tujhko laaj nahi aati hai
khabhi tu gardan
khabhi tu gardan pe chhu kar jati hai
na na na laaj nahi aati hai
kahi se jald juhi laa de
ya uski khushboo hi laa de
aana mujhko saja bawari
sawan ki ye hawaa bawari

badi hatheli hai tu saheli kaam tu koi to kar de
piya hai mera sahar me uski khoj khabar lakar de
badi hatheli hai tu saheli kaam tu koi to kar de
piya hai mera sahar me uski khoj khabar la kar de
itne mosam kyu na aaya
kahi saath tu na le aaya
lagta to tha bhala baware

sawan ki ye hawaa bawari
chhed na itt utt jagah bawari
teri aisi tis jagayi
ikdam se na aag laga tu
dhire dhire jala bawari
sawan ki ye hawaa bawari

This monsoon wind, a madwoman,
Provokes, here and there, a madwoman's plea.
This monsoon wind, a madwoman,
Provokes, here and there, a madwoman's plea.

You awaken such a sting,
Do not ignite the fire at once,
Burn slowly, madwoman.
This monsoon wind, a madwoman.

Sometimes you touch the neck,
Sometimes you brush the neck and flee,
Clinging, you are wicked, you feel no shame.
Sometimes you touch the neck,
Sometimes you brush the neck and flee.
No, no, no, you feel no shame.
Bring jasmine quickly from somewhere,
Or just bring its fragrance,
Punish me, madwoman.
This monsoon wind, a madwoman.

You, a vast palm, a friend, do some deed.
My beloved is in the city, bring news of him.
You, a vast palm, a friend, do some deed.
My beloved is in the city, bring news of him.
Why did he not come through so many seasons?
Did you not bring him with you?
You seemed so good, madwoman.

This monsoon wind, a madwoman,
Provokes, here and there, a madwoman's plea.

You awaken such a sting,
Do not ignite the fire at once,
Burn slowly, madwoman.

This monsoon wind, a madwoman.
