jo raat ko jaldi soye aur subah ko jaldi jage
us bacche se dur dur duniya ka dukh bhage
jo raat ko jaldi soye aur subah ko jaldi jage
us bacche se dur dur duniya ka dukh bhage
jo raat ko jaldi soye

lakho ki hai daulat jinki unko nind na aye
meri pyari pyari munni bhukhi hi so jaye
lakho ki hai daulat jinki unko nind na aye
meri pyari pyari munni bhukhi hi so jaye
bahe meri jhula iska sapno ke hai dhage
bahe meri jhula iska sapno ke hai dhage
jo raat ko jaldi soye aur subah ko jaldi jage
us bacche se dur dur duniya ka dukh bhage
jo raat ko jaldi soye

ghar chhuta aur kismat ruthi chhute jo the apne
raste par bhi sokar jisne dekhe mithe sapne
ghar chhuta aur kismat ruthi chhute jo the apne
raste par bhi sokar jisne
dekhe mithe sapne jivan ki har daud me munni
raha wo age age jivan ki har daud me munni
raha wo age age jo raat ko jaldi soye
aur subah ko jaldi jage us bacche se dur dur
duniya ka dukh bhage us bacche se dur dur
duniya ka dukh bhage

The world's sorrows flee the child who sleeps betimes,
And rises with the sun, in early climbs.
The world's sorrows flee.

While fortunes keep the rich from slumber's grace,
My darling Munni sleeps, with hunger's trace.
My arms, a cradle, spun of dreams' soft thread,
The world's sorrows flee the child who rests in bed.
The world's sorrows flee.

Though homes are lost, and fates may turn away,
And loved ones vanish, come what come may,
Upon the road, sweet dreams the weary find,
And Munni leads, with a resolute mind.
The world's sorrows flee the child who wakes and dreams,
The world's sorrows flee.
