diya jage sari raina
nindiya na aaye, nindiya na aaye
rah take vyakul naina
nindiya na aaye, nindiya na aaye

sapna nahi koyi sang kiran ke
git naho koyo pas pawan ke
sapna nahi koyi sang kiran ke
soye bhala kaise phul chaman ke
taro ka bhi hai yahi kehna
nindiya na aaye, nindiya na aaye

lalla lala lori gake sunau
mai apni palko kaa palna banau
lalla lala lori gake sunau
mai teri nindiya ko kaise bulau
teri tarah wo bhi mane na kehna
nindiya na aaye, nindiya na aaye

diya jage sari raina
nindiya na aaye, nindiya na aaye
nindiya na aaye, nindiya na aaye
nindiya na aaye, nindiya na aaye

The lamp burns all night long,
Sleep evades, sleep evades.
Restless eyes watch the road,
Sleep evades, sleep evades.

No dream walks with the sun's ray,
No song whispers with the breeze.
No dream walks with the sun's ray,
How can the garden's flowers find ease?
The stars themselves softly plead,
Sleep evades, sleep evades.

Lullaby, lullaby, I sing to you,
My own lashes, a cradle I'll make.
Lullaby, lullaby, I sing to you,
How to call your slumber, I ache.
Like you, she won't heed my refrain,
Sleep evades, sleep evades.

The lamp burns all night long,
Sleep evades, sleep evades.
Sleep evades, sleep evades.
Sleep evades, sleep evades.
