bap ki jagah maa le sakti hain
maa ki jagah baap le nahi sakta
lori de nahi sakta

Sleep, close your eyes, drift away,
A father's place a mother may sway,
But a mother's void, a father can't fill,
No lullaby sung, the spirit stands still.
Sleep, close your eyes, and dream deep.

This world's a riddle, a curious play,
Who tends this garden, come what may?
This world's a riddle, a curious play,
Who tends this garden, come what may?
On blooms he places his gentle hand,
On thorns, the weight, throughout the land.
Sleep, close your eyes, and dream deep.
Sleep, close your eyes, drift away,
A father's place a mother may sway,
But a mother's void, a father can't fill,
No lullaby sung, the spirit stands still.
Sleep, close your eyes, and dream deep.
Sleep, close your eyes, and dream deep.
Sleep, close your eyes, and dream deep.
