dhire se jana
dhire se jana khatiyan me o khatmal
dhire se jana khatiyan me
dhire se jana khatiyan me o khatmal
dhire se jana khatiyan me
soyi hai rajkumari, soyi hai
soyi hai rajkumari dekh rahi mithe sapne
ja ja chhup ja
ja ja chhup ja takiyan me o khatmal
dhire se jana khatiyan me
viran thi apni zindagi aur suna tha apna makan
haye haye re kismat

mile mushkil se ye mehman ho bhi jate shayad meharban
mile mushkil se ye mehman ho bhi jate shayad meharban
aag laga di hai sukhan me o khatmal
dhire se jana khatiyan me
dhire se jana khatiyan o khatmal
dhire se jana khatiyan me

komal hai inka badan kate si teri chubhan
komal komal hai inka badan kante si teri chubhan
badha dale nindiyan me o khatmal
dhire se jana khatiyan me
eye eye kidhar jata hai
khabar khabardar ha chhup chhup ke

kyu chhup chhup ke pyar kare tu bada chupa hua rustam hai tu
kyu chhup chhup ke pyar kare tu bada chupa hua rustam hai tu
le le hamko bhi sharan me
le le hamko bhi sharan me o khatmal
dhire se jana khatiyan me
dhire se jana khatiyan o khatmal
dhire se jana khatiyan me
dhire se jana, dhire se jana
dhire se jana bagiyan me o bhawra
dhire se jana bagiyan me

Tread softly, oh,
Tread softly, bedbug, on the cot,
Tread softly on the cot.
Tread softly, bedbug, on the cot,
Tread softly on the cot.

The princess sleeps, she sleeps,
The princess sleeps, dreaming sweet dreams.
Go, hide, hide away,
Go, hide, oh bedbug, in the pillows.
Tread softly on the cot.

Barren was life, desolate the home,
Alas, fate's cruel hand!

Rare the guest, perhaps,
they might have offered grace,
Rare the guest, perhaps,
they might have offered grace,
Ignite no fire in the songs, oh bedbug!
Tread softly on the cot.
Tread softly, bedbug, on the cot,
Tread softly on the cot.

Tender their flesh, a thorn your sting,
Tender, tender their flesh, a thorn your sting.
Disturb their slumber, oh bedbug!
Tread softly on the cot.
Hey, hey, where are you going?
Beware, beware, hidden one.

Why steal love in secret, a master of disguise you are!
Why steal love in secret, a master of disguise you are!
Embrace us also in your refuge.
Embrace us also in your refuge, oh bedbug!
Tread softly on the cot.
Tread softly, bedbug, on the cot,
Tread softly on the cot.

Tread softly, tread softly,
Tread softly, oh, bee, in the garden,
Tread softly in the garden.
