Maddham maddham teri geeli hansi
Saathiya hm hm, saathiya hm hm
Sunke humne saari pee li hansi
(Oh)
Hasti rahe tu hasti rahe
Zulf ke neeche gardan pe
Subah-o-shaam milti rahe
Hasti rahe tu hasti rahe
Haya ki laali khilti rahe
Zulf ke neeche gardan pe
Subah-o-shaam milti rahe
Saundi si hansi teri
Khilti rahe milti rahe
Peeli dhoop pehenke tum
Dekho baag mein mat jaana
Bhanwre tumko sab chhedenge
Phoolon mein mat jaana
Maddham maddham hans de phir se
Sona sona phir se hans de
Taaza gire patte ki tarah
Sabz lawn par lete huve
Saat rang hai bahaaron ke
Ek adaa mein lapete hue
Saawan bhaadon saare tumse
Mausam mausam haste rehna
Maddham maddham haste rehna
Saathiya hm hm, saathiya hm hm
Maddham maddham teri geeli hansi
Saathiya hm hm, saathiya hm hm
Sunke humne saari pee li hansi
Kabhi neeli aasmaan pe
Chalo ghoomne chale hum
Koi abr mil gayaa to
Zameen pe baras lein hum
Teri baali hil gayi hai
Kabhi shab chamak uthi hai
Kabhi shaam khil gayi hai
Tere baalon ki panaah mein
Yeh siyaah raat guzre
Teri kaali kaali aankhein
Koi ujli baat utrey
Teri ek hansi ke badle
Meri yeh zameen le le
Mera aasmaan le le
Saathiya hm hm, saathiya hm hm
Maddham maddham teri geeli hansi
Saathiya hm hm, saathiya hm hm
Sunke humne saari pee li hansi
Barf giri ho vaadi mein
Oon mein lipti simti hui
Barf giri ho vaadi mein
Aur hansi teri goonje
Oon mein lipti simti hui
Baat kare, dhuaan nikle
Garam garam ujlaa dhuaan
Naram naram ujlaa dhuaan
The lyrics of Saathiya by AR Rahman celebrate the beauty of laughter and the joy of being alive. The song begins with the lines “Saathiya hm hm, saathiya hm hm, Maddham maddham teri geeli hansi, Saathiya hm hm, saathiya hm hm, Sunke humne saari pee li hansi,” which suggest the singer hearing the beloved's laughter and feeling their joy wash over them. The next verse emphasizes the singer’s desire for the beloved to continue laughing and being happy. The lines, “Hasti rahe tu hasti rahe, Haya ki laali khilti rahe, Zulf ke neeche gardan pe, Subah-o-shaam milti rahe” suggest that the lover wishes for their beloved to store up and exude joy and beauty at all times of the day and night.
The third verse extols the power of laughter even in difficult times by advising the beloved, “Peeli dhoop pehenke tum, Dekho baag mein mat jaana, Bhanwre tumko sab chhedenge, Phoolon mein mat jaana” (Wear yellow light and move around the garden, don't stay among the flowers or the bees will disturb you). The next verse celebrates the beauty of the changing seasons and how love can wrap one in all of them. The verses that follow talk about the beloved's beauty and its power to bring light into the singer's life. The final verse of the song invokes the beauty of snowfall and how the world becomes enveloped in a soft, warm haze when the beloved's laughter fills the air.

We have drunk up all the laughter after hearing it
Hasti rahe tu hasti rahe

Your gentle laughter
Khilti rahe milti rahe

Peeli dhoop pehenke tum
You wearing the yellow sunlight

Don't go into the flowers
Maddham maddham hans de phir se
Laugh softly once again
Sona sona phir se hans de
Laugh like gold once again
Taaza gire patte ki tarah
Like a fresh fallen leaf
Sabz lawn par lete huve
Lying on the green lawn
Saat rang hai bahaaron ke
There are seven colors in spring
Ek adaa mein lapete hue
Wrapped up in one style
Saawan bhaadon saare tumse
All the seasons are for you
Mausam mausam haste rehna
Keep smiling throughout the year
Kabhi neeli aasmaan pe
Sometimes in the blue sky
Chalo ghoomne chale hum
Let's go for a walk
Koi abr mil gayaa to
If we find a cloud
Zameen pe baras lein hum
We will make it rain on the ground
Teri baali hil gayi hai
Your hair has swayed
Kabhi shab chamak uthi hai
Sometimes at night it shimmers
Kabhi shaam khil gayi hai
Sometimes in the evening it blooms
Yeh siyaah raat guzre
This black night has passed
Teri kaali kaali aankhein
Your black eyes
Koi ujli baat utrey
Some bright conversation pops out
Teri ek hansi ke badle
In exchange for one of your laughs
Meri yeh zameen le le
Take my land
Mera aasmaan le le
Take my sky
Barf giri ho vaadi mein
Snow falls in the valley
Oon mein lipti simti hui
It is woven into wool
Aur hansi teri goonje
And your laughter echoes
Baat kare, dhuaan nikle
We speak and smoke comes out
Garam garam ujlaa dhuaan
Hot and bright smoke
Naram naram ujlaa dhuaan
Soft and bright smoke
