ik raat hoi barsaat bohat
main royaa saari raat bohat
har ghum tha zamaanay ka lekin
main tanha tha us raat bohat
phiraankh say ik saawan barsa
jab seher hoi to khayaal aaya
woh baadal kitna tanha tha
jo barsa saari raat bohat
I am sure it is a great mistake always to know enough to go in when it rains. One may keep snug and dry by such knowledge, but one misses a world of loveliness.
Ab ke sawan main paani barsa bohat
Paani ki har boond main woh aaye yaad bohat
Is suhaane mausam main saath nahi tha koi
Baadlon ke saath in aankhon se paani baha bohat
May you always have work for your hands to do.
May your pockets hold always a coin or two.
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane.
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you
Ab ke sawan(rain) mein paani barsa bahut,
Paani ki har boond mein woh aaye yaad bahut.
Is suhaane mausam mein saath nahi tha koi,
Baadlon ke saath in aankhon se paani baha bahut.
