mai gau tu chup ho ja mai jagu re tu so ja
mai gau tu chup ho ja mai jagu re tu so ja

dharti ki kaya soyi ambar ki maya soyi
jhilmil taro ke niche sapno ki chhaya soyi
mai dhundhu ho mai dhundhu re tu kho ja
mai jagu re tu so ja

jane hawayi kaha khoyi
sagar ki bhi lahre soyi
duniya ka sab dukhda bhar ke
duniya ka sab dukhda bhar ke
teri do ankhiya re kyun royi
aansu ke ho aansu ke shabnam dho ja
mai jagu re tu so ja

aansu tere mujhko de de
badle me meri hansi le le
tera to man sukh se khele
mera hriday tera dukh jhele naye bij
naye bij naye bij khushi ke bo ja
mai jagu re tu so ja
mai gau tu chup ho ja
mai jagu re tu so ja

I sing, you be still, I awaken, you sleep.
I sing, you be still, I awaken, you sleep.

The earth's form slumbers, the sky's illusion sleeps,
Beneath twinkling stars, shadows of dreams sleep.
I search, oh I search, you be lost.
I awaken, you sleep.

Where did the breeze vanish, I wonder?
Even the ocean's waves sleep.
With the world's sorrows all filled,
With the world's sorrows all filled,
Why do your two eyes weep?
Tears, oh tears, wash away the dew.
I awaken, you sleep.

Give me your tears,
In exchange, take my laughter.
Your heart may play with joy,
My heart will bear your sorrow.
Sow new seeds,
Sow new seeds of happiness.
I awaken, you sleep.
I sing, you be still.
I awaken, you sleep.
