Mausam gulaal le ke darwaaze mere aaye,

Misri si baat hawaein kaano mein keh jaaye 

Baadal ki rui waale takiya liye sirhaane,

Daadi ki thapki aur kisse naye puraane, 

Sapna dekha hai maine, maine bhi dekha hai sapna

Meri bhi choton ko phoo phoo koi bujhaaye,

Mera bhi aansoo kisi hatheli par ruk jaaye

Main bhi ungali moti si thaamu koi kaske,

Meri bhi har zidd ko maan le koi hans ke, 

Sapna dekha hai maine, maine bhi dekha hai sapna

Kaala tika maathe pe pyar se koi lagaye,

Mujhko bhi nayi shararat karna koi sikhaye

Mera khoya sa bachpan koi wapas laaye,

Mere bhi naam ko chota karke koi bulaaye 

Sapna dekh hai maine, maine bhi dekha sapna

(I wish) The seasons would come knocking at my door with bright colors

(I wish) The winds would whisper words sweet as sugar in my ears as they pass 

(I dream) of resting my head on cotton filled pillows as soft as the clouds 

(I dream) of grandmother’s affectionate patting and her stories old and new

I dream of all this  (literally I saw this dream) 

(I wish) Someone would caress my wounds and relieve me of my pain when I am hurt 

(I wish) my tears also stopped in someone’s palms 

(I wish) I could also hold someone’s fat finger tightly

(I wish) someone would fulfill all my demands with a smile 

I dream of all this 

(i wish) Someone would put a black dot on my head ( to keep evil spirits away) 

(I wish) Someone would teach me new playful mischiefs 

(I wish) Someone could bring back my lost childhood 

(I wish) Someone could call me by small loving nick names 

I dream of all this
