chanda ki katori hai
main hoon tu hai noorie hai
chanda ki katori hai
main hoon tu hai noorie hai
raatein sataaye ye tujhe sone naa de

sapnon ke solah jhoole
main jhooloon tu bhi jhoole
sapnon ke solah jhoole
main jhooloon tu bhi jhoole
raate sataaye ye aisa hone naa de

soja re ke chidiya bhi chonch mein apni
neend ke tinke laayi hai
soja tere mamma ji ki aankh mein bhi ab
angdayi leke jhoole hain sapne
angdayi leke jhoole hain sapne

The moon, a silver bowl, it gleams,
I am, and you, luminous streams.
The moon, a silver bowl, it gleams,
I am, and you, luminous streams.
Let not the night torment your soul,
And steal the sleep that makes you whole.

Upon the sixteen swings of dreams,
I sway, and you, in sunlit gleams.
Upon the sixteen swings of dreams,
I sway, and you, in sunlit gleams.
Let not the night, with shadowed art,
Deny the peace within your heart.

Sleep now, for little birds have flown,
With sleep's soft straws, gently sown.
Sleep now, your mother's eyes now keep,
A dream's embrace, where secrets sleep.
A dream's embrace, where secrets sleep.
