A song about the rain, the clouds, lightening, and love.



From the sky, the clouds fall, my friend,
This gathering of clouds has a certain love for the weather,
Thundering down, the lightening came,
To it, there was no sky and and there was no earth,
O Lightning! O Lightning! Why did you come during the monsoon season...

...Into my life
You brought, every light and every happiness,
Just like the thundering clouds, the heart thunders as well,
In the story of the raindrop, 
You are the weather, 
and I am that gathering of clouds.

The Mausam Song (feat. Adrian Carey)

आसमाँ के राही के परछाई में 
महकती अपनी ज़ुल्फों 
को सजाती वो 

In the shadows of the travellers of the sky,
Like a flower flutters in the wind, the lone strand of hair on her face (=zulf), she adjusts.

ना सोचे, ना पाए 
हवा में जो उड़के जाए 
जाने ना कहाँ से आए वो 
वो दुआ करे:

Neither does she think, nor does she realise,
That which flies in the wind,
Who knows where it all comes from.
She makes a wish:

"जन्नत से जो बूँदें 
चुपके चुपके हौले हौले 
मेरी इन ज़ुल्फों को धमकी ना दें"

"From heaven those raindrops,
Which silently and slowly fall,
Please do not threaten my zulfs."

लम्बी साँस लेकर भी सोच ना पाए 
हवा में जो उड़के जाए, सिर्फ 
"गीली इस सर्दी से माफ़ी मिले"

Even taking a deep breath, she is unable to think about,
That which flies in the wind, only,
"From this wet cold/winter, may I have mercy."

Chorus:
तारा रारा रारा, तारारारा रारा तारा रारा रारा
तारा रारा रारा, तारारारा रारा तारा रारा रारा

ना बादल, ना छाए 
हवा भी कहाँ से उड़के आए 
सूरज की आँगन में बैठा था जो 

No clouds, no shade,
Where is the wind expected to come from?
The fact that he was sitting in the garden of the sun.

न उसके मन में कोई सोच से, न दिल में उसके कोई होश से,
कमज़ोरी की आख़री जोश में, थकी ज़बान उसकी चले 
वो दुआ करे:

Neither by any thought in his mind, nor by any consciousness of his heart,
But from the last burst of energy that comes from extreme weakness,
His tired tongue begins to move.
He makes a wish:

"जहन्नुम ज्वाला जाने,
क्रोध कष्ट कड़वी सी बातें,
सूरज को गर्मी सिखा क्यों ना दें"

"May the fires of hell know,
The bitter words of anger and pain,
Why is the Sun not taught a lesson in heat?"

लम्बी साँस लेकर भी सोच ना पाएं
हवा यह कहाँ से उड़के आए, सिर्फ 
"सूखी इस गर्मी से माफ़ी मिले" 

Even taking a deep breath, he is unable to think about,
That which flies in the wind, only,
"From this dry heat/summer, may I have mercy.

(गूँज गूँजके बादल गाए | Thundering, the clouds sing)

Chorus:
तारा रारा रारा, तारारारा रारा तारा रारा रारा
तारा रारा रारा, तारारारा रारा तारा रारा रारा
