झमझम पानी पर्यो असारको रात
बारीबाट बज्न लागे मकैका पात
जुनकिरीमा झल्याकझुलुक बलेसीको धारा
कहाँ होला डाँडामाथि झुल्किएको तारा
संगीतको संसारमा कहाँनिर ब्यूँझिऊँ
आधा रातमा एक्लै उठी आज कसलाई सम्झिऊँ
रिमिझ्मिी धारासँगै गाऊँगाऊँ लाग्छ
जुनकिरीको साथ उडी जाऊँजाऊँ लाग्छ
कति मीठो आधा रातमै झुल्किएको तारा
अझ् मीठो मनमनै सम्झ्एिको प्यारा
सानी पनि गाउँछे मेरो वन पनि गाउँछ
हर्ष पनि आउँछ हजुर पीर पनि आउँछ
Jhamajham paani paryo asarko raat
Baribata bajna lage makaika paat
Junakirima jhalyakajhuluk balesiko dhara
Kaha hola dandamathi jhulkieko tara
Sangitko sansarma kahannir byunjhioo
Aadha raatma eklai uthi aaja kaslai samjhioo
Rimijhmii dharasangai gaoongaoo lagchha
Junakiriko sath udi jaoonjaoo lagchha
Kati mitho aadha ratamai jhulkieko tara
Ajh mitho manamanai samjheiko pyara
Sani pani gaunchhe mero wana pani gaunchha
Harsha pani aaunchha hajur pir pani aaunchha
On a monsoon night, it starts to rain
On leaves of corn, music begins to play
Fireflies flash their lights all around
From roof ends water sluices down
The star that was rising on a hilltop
Where would it be glittering now
Where do I wake in this musical world
Who to miss at midnight waking up alone
Rainwater sparkles, to it I want to sing
With the fireflies, I want to go out flying
Sweet is the star, revealing at midnight
Sweeter is the one, missed in the heart
My Sani* sings along, so does the forest
Joys also appear, so does the torment
*Beloved or girlfriend
