ek bar unhe mila de ek bar unhe mila de
phir meri tauba maula phir meri tauba
ab to lagi bujha de aji dil ki lagi bujha de
phir meri tauba maula phir meri tauba

waro ki bala se bijli chamke
ya ghata chhaye gadha bole kahi ya kan me
koyal ki kuk aaye wo kya jane papiha
kisliye pihu ki dhun gaye
jara joru ki furkat me tadapto ki suno
ek bar unhe mila de phir meri tauba maula
phir meri tauba ab to lagi bujha de
aji dil ki lagi bujha de phir meri tauba maula
phir meri tauba

har ek lab ke daman hai mere nate
kasam hamari jo gaye na joruo wale
ek bar unhe mila de phir meri tauba maula
phir meri tauba ab to lagi bujhade
aji dil ki lagi bujha de phir meri tauba maula
phir meri tauba

tum hardum nind me hum aur jagana tera
rat ko loriya de deke sulana tera
yaad aata hai to dil roke yahi kahta hai
phir meri tauba maula phir meri tauba
ab to lagi bujha de aji dil ki lagi bujha de
phir meri tauba maula phir meri tauba

Once, just once, reunite them,
Then, my Lord, I swear repentance.
Now, extinguish this burning fire, oh, douse it,
The heart's torment, oh, extinguish it,
Then, my Lord, I swear repentance.

From the beloved's glance, lightning flashes,
Or shadows gather, a donkey brays, a whisper in the ear,
The cuckoo's call, what does it know?
The *Papeeha* bird's song, why does it sing its tune?
Listen now, to the yearning of those separated from their beloved,
Once, just once, reunite them,
Then, my Lord, I swear repentance,
Now, extinguish this burning fire, oh, douse it,
The heart's torment, oh, extinguish it,
Then, my Lord, I swear repentance.

Every lip's embrace, I hold as kin,
Our oath, if they do not sing of beloved's,
Once, just once, reunite them,
Then, my Lord, I swear repentance,
Now, extinguish this burning fire, oh, douse it,
The heart's torment, oh, extinguish it,
Then, my Lord, I swear repentance.

You, always in slumber, I, forever awake in your presence,
Lulling me to sleep with your evening lullabies,
Remembering you, the heart weeps and says,
Then, my Lord, I swear repentance,
Now, extinguish this burning fire, oh, douse it,
The heart's torment, oh, extinguish it,
Then, my Lord, I swear repentance.
