suni suni saans ki sitar par
bhige bhige ansuo ki tar par
suni suni saans ki sitar par
bhige bhige ansuo ki tar par
ek git sun rahi hai zindagi
ek git ga rahi hai zindagi
suni suni saans ki sitar par
bhige bhige ansuo ki tar par

pyar jise kahte hai, khel hai khilona hai
aaj ise pana hai kal ise khona hai
aaj ise pana hai kal ise khona hai
suni suni ha suni suni
suni suni sans ki sitar par
bhige bhige ansuo ki tar par
ek sur mila rahi hai zindagi
ek sur bhula rahi hai zindagi
suni suni sans ki sitar par
bhige bhige ansuo ki tar par
suni suni sans ki sitar par

koi kali gati hai
koi kali gati hai, koi kali roti hai
koi ansu pani hai, koi ansu moti hai
koi ansu pani hai, koi ansu moti hai
suni suni sans ki sitar par
bhige bhige ansuo ki tar par
kisi ko hansa rahi hai zindagi
kisi ko rulaa rahi hai zindagi
suni suni sans ki sitar par
suni suni sans ki sitar par

On the sitar of breath, so still,
On strings of tears, a dampened thrill,
On the sitar of breath, so still,
On strings of tears, the soul's deep will,
A song is heard, by life's own ear,
A song is sung, for all to hear,
On the sitar of breath, so still,
On strings of tears, the soul's deep will.

Love, they call it, a fleeting toy,
Found today, then lost, to annoy.
Found today, then lost, to annoy.
So still, so still, a hollow sound,
On the sitar of breath, profound,
On strings of tears, where sorrows drown,
A note is joined, by life's own plea,
A note forgotten, wild and free,
On the sitar of breath, profound,
On strings of tears, where sorrows drown,
On the sitar of breath, profound.

One bud sings, a vibrant bloom,
One bud weeps, within the gloom.
One tear a flood, to wash away,
One tear a pearl, in disarray.
One tear a flood, to wash away,
One tear a pearl, in disarray.
On the sitar of breath, so frail,
On strings of tears, the heart's lament,
For one, it laughs, on heavens bent,
For one, it weeps, its spirit spent,
On the sitar of breath, so frail,
On the sitar of breath, so frail.
