Here is the lyrics of this beautiful song:

Mile sur mera tumharaa, to sur bane hamaraa...
Sur kee nadhiyaan har disha se behke saagar mein milee...
Baadalon ka roop lekar barsen halke halke...
Mile sur mera tumharaa...toh...sur bane hamaara...
Mile sur mera tumhara...
Chaain taraj tahin nyay taraj
Ek but baniye saayen taraj

Tera sur mile mere sur de naal
Milke bane ek nava surtaal
Mile sur mera tumharaa....
To sur bane hamaara..

Mohnja sur tohi desa pyara mile jadein
Geet ashaanjo madhur tarano bane tadein
Sur ka dariya bahte saagar me mile
Badlaan da roop leike barasan hole hole

Isaindhal namm iruvarin suramum namadhakum..
Dhisai veru aanalum aariser aarugal
Mugilai mazaiyai pozivadu pol isai
...Namm isssaiiii....
Thik thakida thathikakidA....thaka thimi thaka junu

Nanna dhwanige ninna dhwaniya,
Seridante namma dhwaniya..

Naa swaramu nee swaramu sangammamai,
Mana swaram ga avatarinchey

Ente swaravum ningalude swaravum
Otthu chernnu nammude swaramai....

Tomaar shoor moder shoor srishti korook oikyashoor...
Tomaar shoor moder shoor srishti korook oikyashoor...
Srishti hok aikyatan

Toma mora swarer milan srishti kare chalbochatano

Male sur jo taro maro, bane aapno sur niralo

Majhya tumchya julta tara madhur suranchya barasti dhara
Sur ki nadiya har disha se behke saagar mein mile...
Baadlo ka roop leke barse halke halke..
Oh...Mile sur mera tumhara tho....sur bane hamara...

Mile Sur mera tumhara
To sur bane hamara tho sur bane hamara
To sur bane hamara"
