No. In Hindi there are no articles the or a. Therefore you must add one, when you translate to English. Which one you take is given by context. एक is just used when you want to point out, that it is just one or a, but it is not neccesary, if context makes it clear anyway.
Ok .my also gone wrong but now I understood it is not a sentence it is phrase or expression

I thought that "The pigeon flies" was also acceptable. There is no "the" in Hindi, that I know of, so how are we to distinguish between "the" pigeon and "a" pigeon?

Here again, very unclear: if the meaning is "A pigeon flies" there should be a hota. This translation should be The pigeon flies
Is “a piegoen flies” and “a pigeon is flying” worded differently in Hindi? Is there a distinction in Hindi between these two tenses?
Yes, the two are worded differently.
A pigeon flies. - कबूतर उड़ता है।
A pigeon is flying. - कबूतर उड़ रहा है।
