I hear him coming - Mira Bai
Original in Hindi:
barasai badariyaa saavan kii,
saavan kii man bhaavan kii.
saavan me.n umagyo mero manavaa,
bhanak sunii hari aavan kii..
uma.D ghuma.D chahu.n disase aayo,
daamaNa damake jhar laavan kii.
naanhii.n naanhii.n buu.ndan mehaa barasai,
siital pavan sohaavan kii..
miiraa.N ke prabhu giradhar naagar,
aananda ma.ngal gaavan kii..
~Mira Bai

My rendering:
It is pouring down
In the month of monsoons,
The clouds are pleasing my heart!
But when the rains come,
My heart longs for him.
I hear him coming!
Everywhere I see,
I see the clouds gathering,
They thunder and then it rains.
Tiny rain drops fall from the clouds
And the cool breeze then pleases me.
My Lord is Girdhar Nagar
I sing for him joyfully,
In the month of monsoons.
