jhule jhule palna, banni jhule palna
ud na jaye udan khatola dheere se uchhalna
ud na jaye udan khatola dheere se uchhalna
nannhe munne pairo se gudiya chal ke jaye re
chhote chhote pankho se gordiya udti jaye re
dekho dekho gir na jaye gudiya ko sambhalna

jhule jhule palna banni jhule palna
ud na jaye udan khatola dheere se uchhalna
ud na jaye udan khatola dheere se uchhalna
dekho dekho gir na jaye gudiya ko sambhalna
dekho dekho gir na jaye gudiya ko sambhalna

sone ke jaise mathe pe kajal ka ek tika hai
banni ke chehre ke aage chand bhi phika phika hai
ghar me ghee ke diye jalana aur andhere ko talna
jhule jhule palna, banni jhule palna
ud na jaye udan khatola dheere se uchhalna
ud na jaye udan khatola dheere se uchhalna
nannhe munne pairo se gudiya chal ke jaye re
chhote chhote pankho se gordiya udti jaye re
dekho dekho gir na jaye, gudiya ko sambhalna
ud na jaye udan khatola, dheere se uchhalna
dekho dekho gir na jaye, gudiya ko sambhalna

Rock the cradle, rock it slow,
Bride, within the cradle, softly go.
Lest the flying chariot take flight,
Gently bounce, with all your might.

Lest the flying chariot take flight,
Gently bounce, into the night.
Little feet, the doll does roam,
Tiny wings, the sparrow's home.
Watch her close, don't let her fall,
Guard the doll, embracing all.

Rock the cradle, rock it slow,
Bride, within the cradle, softly go.
Lest the flying chariot take flight,
Gently bounce, with all your might.
Lest the flying chariot take flight,
Gently bounce, into the night.
Watch her close, don't let her fall,
Guard the doll, embracing all.
Watch her close, don't let her fall,
Guard the doll, embracing all.

Upon her brow, a golden gleam,
Kohl-kissed, a waking dream.
Before the bride, the moon does fade,
In her light, a serenade.
Let ghee lamps glow, dispel the shade,
In the home, a soft parade.
Rock the cradle, rock it slow,
Bride, within the cradle, softly go.
Lest the flying chariot take flight,
Gently bounce, with all your might.
Lest the flying chariot take flight,
Gently bounce, into the night.
Little feet, the doll does roam,
Tiny wings, the sparrow's home.
Watch her close, don't let her fall,
Guard the doll, embracing all.
Lest the flying chariot take flight,
Gently bounce, with all your might.
Watch her close, don't let her fall,
Guard the doll, embracing all.
