aaja re nindiya rani tu aaja
cupke se dhire se tu aa ja
aaja re nindiya rani tu aaja
cupke se dhire se tu aa ja

chanda soya soye sitare
soja mere dulare
o soja mere dulare

duniya ne tokar se mara
apne huye sab paraye
apna na kal tha na kal hai
kya koi sapna sajaye
peena jahar hai
fir bhi hai jeena
jeevan yahi to sikhaye re
soja re soja re soja

Come, O slumber, queen of night, come,
Stealthily, softly, come.
Come, O slumber, queen of night, come,
Stealthily, softly, come.

The moon sleeps, and stars are still,
Sleep now, my dearest child,
O sleep now, my dearest child.

The world has dealt its harsh blows,
Even kin have turned away,
No belonging, yesterday or hence,
Why weave dreams of another day?
To drink the poison, yet to live,
Such is life's decree, you see.
Sleep now, sleep now, sleep now.
