ek to mai ek to mai ek murli birhan
ek to mai ek murli birhan
hum dono hai kitni abhagan
hum dono hai kitni abhagan
baras gyo teri preet ka sawan
baras gyo teri preet ka sawan
fir bhi raha pyasa pyasa man
ek to mai ek to mai ek murli birhan

dur gagan me hai ek tara
dur gagan me hai ek tara
jaise mera man bechara
jaise mera man bechara
dhundh raha hai sathi pyara
jisne diya hai mujhe sunapan
jisne diya hai mujhe sunapan
baras gyo teri preet ka sawan
fir bhi raha pyasa pyasa man
ek to mai ek to mai ek murli birhan

koun ye samjhe baat man ki
koun ye samjhe baat man ki
jinke sang thi preet janam ki
jinke sang thi preet janam ki
dekar vo hi laaj dharam ki
tod gya mujhse har bandhan
tod gya mujhse har bandhan
baras gyo teri preet ka sawan
fir bhi raha pyasa pyasa man
ek to mai ek to mai ek murli birhan
ek to mai ek murli birhan

I am one, and I am the flute's bereft,
I am one, and I am the flute's bereft.
We two, oh, how luckless we are,
We two, oh, how luckless we are.
Your love's monsoon did pour and pour,
Your love's monsoon did pour and pour,
Yet thirsty, thirsty, remained my core,
I am one, and I am the flute's bereft.

In the distant sky, a lonely star,
In the distant sky, a lonely star,
Like my heart, so lost afar,
Like my heart, so lost afar,
Seeking a beloved, precious and dear,
Seeking a beloved, precious and dear,
Who gifted me this void of fear,
Who gifted me this void of fear,
Your love's monsoon did pour and pour,
Yet thirsty, thirsty, remained my core,
I am one, and I am the flute's bereft.

Who understands the heart's true plea?
Who understands the heart's true plea?
Those with whom love was meant to be,
Those with whom love was meant to be,
They, who gave shame and decree,
They, who gave shame and decree,
Shattered every bond with me,
Shattered every bond with me,
Your love's monsoon did pour and pour,
Yet thirsty, thirsty, remained my core,
I am one, and I am the flute's bereft,
I am one, and I am the flute's bereft.
