dhundh ki chadari le gayi usko sang me
o chand re wo meri thi khata kya
abb kya dikhega nahi tu kabhi bhi bata ja

bas aankhe mund li pyar se, wo aayegi

abb jhoom jhoom soja abb jhoom jhoom soja
abb jhoom jhoom soja aliya ge nunu jhaliya ge

Little Aliyah, slumber softly, little one, slumber deep,
Little Aliyah, slumber softly, secrets to keep.
The clouds weep rain on fields of dreams,
The clouds weep rain, where moonlight gleams.
Now sway and sleep, now sway and sleep,
Now sway and sleep, little Aliyah, slumber deep.

Sleep knows not when it chooses to arrive,
Promised, "I come," but when, does it survive?
In which eye does it dwell, this mystery, this plight?
In which night did it vanish, tell the lullaby this night.
Little Aliyah, slumber softly, listen, listen, dear.
Close your eyes with love, and she will appear.
Little Aliyah, slumber softly, little one, slumber deep,
The clouds weep rain on fields of dreams,
The clouds weep rain, where moonlight gleams.
Now sway and sleep, now sway and sleep.

The sinking evening, then the moon ascends above,
A veil of mist, she vanished with my love.
Oh, Moon, what fault, what did I do?
Tell me now, will I never see you?
Little Aliyah, slumber softly, listen, listen, dear.
Close your eyes with love, and she will appear.
Little Aliyah, slumber softly, little one, slumber deep,
The clouds weep rain on fields of dreams,
The clouds weep rain, where moonlight gleams.
Now sway and sleep, now sway and sleep,
Now sway and sleep, little Aliyah, slumber deep.
