Ae ri pawan, dhundhe kisse tera mann

Ae ri pawan, dhundhe kisse tera mann, chalte chalte
Ae ri pawan, dhundhe kisse tera mann, chalte chalte
Ae ri pawan, dhundhe kisse tera mann, chalte chalte
Baawari si tu phire, kaun hain tera sajan
O, ae ri pawan, dhundhe kisse tera mann, chalte chalte

Baadal se tera kya hain kuchh naata
Ho, baadal se tera kya hain kuchh naata
Kaahe jhume, naache, gaaye,
Kaahe jhume, naache, gaaye, aaye jab saawan
Baawari si tu phire, kaun hain tera sajan
Ho, ae ri pawan, dhundhe kisse tera mann, chalte chalte

Mann ke dwaare se, chori chupke se
Ho, mann ke dwaare se, chori chupke se
Sapnon ki tu paayal baandhe,
Sapnon ki tu paayal baandhe, guzre chhananan chhan
Baawari si tu phire, kaun hain tera sajan
Ho, ae ri pawan, dhundhe kisse tera mann, chalte chalte

Ek akeli tu, meri saheli tu
Ho, ek akeli tu, meri saheli tu
Jiska koi saathi nahin
Jiska koi saathi naahi, usska kya jeevan
Baawari si tu phire, kaun hain tera sajan
O, ae ri pawan, dhundhe kisse tera mann, chalte chalte
Ae ri pawan, dhundhe kisse tera mann

I haven’t watched this movie, and I think I watched the video for the first time while drafting this post. But this song has long been one of my favourites (and now the visuals with the mountain rivers and rolling meadows are as well). I am not sure why I like it: the lyrics, the music, the mood it creates. I just really like listening to it. So, here it is.

The third stanza is probably an audio-only one, but I like it too much to exclude it from this post 😊 ~ R
