ek daal pe do phul khile
ek daal pe do phul khile
khilte hi jo bichhad gaye, bichhad gaye
ek daal pe do phul khile
khilte hi jo bichhad gaye, bichhad gaye
ek daal pe do phul khile

duniya ke pass sabhi kuch tha
ek maa ke pass yahi kuch tha
ye baag na the virane the
wo bhi to ujad gaye, ujad gaye
ek daal pe do phul khile
khilte hi jo bichhad gaye, bichhad gaye
ek daal pe do phul khile

ek daal pe do phul khile
khilte hi jo bichhad gaye, bichhad gaye
ek daal pe do phul khile

wo daali tadap ke yu royi
jaise roti hai maa koi
wo daali tadap ke yu royi
jaise roti hai maa koi
un phulo ki ye kahani hai
jo tut ke bikhar gaye, bikhar gaye
ek daal pe do phul khile
khilte hi jo bichhad gaye, bichhad gaye
ek daal pe do phul khile

Upon one bough, two blossoms bloomed,
Upon one bough, two blossoms bloomed,
And in their bloom, were soon consumed,
Upon one bough, two blossoms bloomed.

The world held treasures, vast and deep,
A mother’s all, within her keep,
These were no gardens, but a waste,
And they too, perished in haste,
Upon one bough, two blossoms bloomed,
And in their bloom, were soon consumed,
Upon one bough, two blossoms bloomed.

Upon one bough, two blossoms bloomed,
And in their bloom, were soon consumed,
Upon one bough, two blossoms bloomed.

The bough then wept, a mournful sound,
As mothers weep, on hallowed ground,
The bough then wept, a mournful sound,
As mothers weep, on hallowed ground,
This is the tale, the petals tell,
Of fragments scattered, where they fell,
Upon one bough, two blossoms bloomed,
And in their bloom, were soon consumed,
Upon one bough, two blossoms bloomed.
