lalla lalla lori dhudh ki katori
dhudh me batasha, jiwan khel tamasha
lalla lalla lori dhudh ki katori
dhudh me batasha, jiwan khel tamasha

aadhi murjha jati hai
thodi si kaliya khilati hai
aadhi murjha jati hai
thodi si kaliya khilati hai
sari ki sari khushiya jiwan me
kisko milti hai
ya tute palna, ya tute dori
chupke chupke, chori chori chori
lalla lalla lori dhudh ki katori
dhudh me batasha, jiwan khel tamasha

likh leti, likhwa leti mai, aage kya hai gaana
likh leti, likhwa leti mai, aage kya hai gaana
lekin mai kya karti, tere papa ko tha jana
mujhse bhi chhip kar
tujhse bhi chori
chupke chupke, chori chori chori

Sleep now, my darling, a bowl of milk waits,
In milk, a sweet treat, life's fleeting escapades.
Sleep now, my darling, a bowl of milk waits,
In milk, a sweet treat, life's fleeting escapades.

Half-blooms wither, fade away,
Few petals dance in the sun's ray.
Half-blooms wither, fade away,
Few petals dance in the sun's ray.
All joys, in this life's brief span,
To whom are they given, for whom does time plan?
This broken cradle, a frayed tether's plight,
Silently, secretly, stolen from sight.
Sleep now, my darling, a bowl of milk waits,
In milk, a sweet treat, life's fleeting escapades.

I'd write the future, I'd know what's to be,
I'd pen the coming, for you and for me.
I'd write the future, I'd know what's to be,
I'd pen the coming, for you and for me.
But what could I do, your father's gone hence,
Hiding from me, stolen from your presence,
Silently, secretly, stolen from sight.
Sleep now, my darling, a bowl of milk waits,
In milk, a sweet treat, life's fleeting escapades.
Sleep now, my darling, a bowl of milk waits,
In milk, a sweet treat, life's fleeting escapades.
Life's fleeting escapades.
