main hoon baadal mujhe chhuke hawa chale - (2)
jhuk jaau jamin jahaan aasmaan ko chume
bichhade jaise kahin mile

main hoon baadal mujhe chhuke hawa chale - (2)
barsunga main aake teri panaaho mein
chal banake hawa tu mere liye
o milana bichhadake judana bikharake

tere liye jaan de dunga - (3)

le chal mujhako tu wahaan pe ghar baadalon ke ho jahaan pe
wahaan hai aashiyaan mera
yeh man aawaara phirega, tujh bin kaise barsega
sun le aa meri sada

o milana bichhadake judana bikharake
tere liye jaan de dunga - (2)
tu hai mera meherbaan, tere liye jaan de dunga
main hoon baadal mujhe chhuke hawa chale - (2)

jhuk jaau jamin jahaan aasmaan ko chume
main hoon baadal tere liye
